— What's Included

  • In-person property walkthrough and assessment

  • Strategic color palette recommendations for paint and updates

  • ROI-focused improvement suggestions (what to do, what to skip)

  • Buyer psychology insights for the DC Metro Area market

  • Written recommendations you can share with your client

Not every listing needs full staging. Sometimes sellers just need expert guidance on which updates will actually move the needle—and which ones waste money.

A color swatch fan deck, a paintbrush, a greeting card with flowers and the words "LET'S DO THIS!", and a small metal line clip on a marble surface.
