Spring-Ready Listings w/ Carley Mann
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Most sellers leave money on the table because they don't know which improvements actually pay off - and which ones are a waste of time and budget. Carley Mann breaks down the room-by-room, dollar-for-dollar approach to getting a home market-ready this spring, from the three surfaces you need to declutter to the exact ROI on a fresh coat of paint. Plus, Brian announces the launch of Carley's new RRES series, First Impressions, covering the design and aesthetic side of real estate.
Featured Quote: "You're going to spend, let's say, $7,500 to repaint your whole interior, but you're going to get a $10,000 return on that. So that to me is well worth the investment."
