Property Preparation and Staging: One of the features that sets Jennie apart from other Realtors is her attention to detail in staging (dressing up) properties to give Buyers the best ‘first impression.’ As part of her representation, she routinely advises Sellers on what they can do to improve the ‘look’ of their property (inside & out). When requested, Jennie will also bring in professional consultants to stage and accessorize each room and trades people to make needed improvements to increase a property’s salability.

*Fact: Homes that have been staged actually sell 67% faster than those that have not been staged (publication to come).

Negotiating Offers from Listing to Closing: Jennie’s vast experience in representing Sellers starts with setting the most realistic pricing and terms for each Listing - leading to the best possible Terms of Transaction.
