Here are some fabulous tips from a super staging friend Cindy Bryant of Houston, Texas.
If you are looking to sell, you might want to read  Remodeling Magazines 2009's Cost vs. Value Report (CSV).  This will give you an idea of where you'll get your biggest Return On Investment (ROI) before you begin your remodeling project.
These are the top 10 updates from that report from HGTV Front Door.
·  Spruce up or replace your siding.
·  Add a deck.
·  Tweak your kitchen.
·  Repair or replace windows.
·  Overhaul your kitchen.
·  Strip the bathroom.
·  Find cash in the attic.
·  Earn bucks from the basement.
·  Add space to add value.
·  Add low-cost landscaping.
