According to staging statistics, an unstaged home is guaranteed to feel colder and less welcoming, maybe even to the point of a no-sale even if it checks all the wish list boxes.

While property renovation projects should enrich your life and that of your family while you live in your home, it’s important to cast an eye toward the future and which features buyers will most covet when you do decide to sell. Whether you’re making a living flipping homes or are just researching which are the wisest home improvement projects in a world acquainted with COVID-19, it’s useful to first understand the demographic of the most active buyers on the market.

To fix up your house before listing it or sell it as is. It’s an age old debate for a reason—the answer is complicated and case-specific. It depends on multiple factors, including your personal reasons for listing and the features of the real estate market you’ll be entering. For clarity’s sake, selling your home “as is” means that you have decided not to make any further repairs once it's on the market. This kind of listing means that, regardless of a home inspection’s results, your prospective homebuyer would be buying the home in its current condition.

At a time when 55% of modern home-buyers say that going online was their first step in the house-hunting process, it's clear that the days of realtors toting around shoeboxes full of listings are over. But, what kind of tools exist nowadays to assist the tech-saavy, or even the tech-newbie, in landing the perfect property? Allow us to elaborate.

Meet our friends, Art and Judy. We met these two lovebirds in September of 2018. They had lived in their beautiful Lyndhurst home for 50 years together, raising children and filling the home with love and laughter. Judy still clearly remembers the day she found the lot, called the builder, and designed the home that they would live in. But after all that time, with their children grown and scattered across the country, Art and Judy had decided that it was time to move on. When they contacted VNTG Home, they were planning on downsizing to a small apartment, but needed some help with the logistics of cleaning out their old home and getting it sold.

Many people, in the prime of their lives and financially stable, will buy themselves a decent sized home in which they raise a family or enjoy their space in whatever way they desire. Life always brings with it a series of changes, however, and at some point, most will need to make a real estate transition. For many, that transition comes in their old age, when they need to move into a facility that can provide them with more care than their family is capable of handling.
