I find it grim, but its the less expensive path that most take.

Again, I think maybe it's this market. It's hard to "stage" an apartment that two old folks have lived in for almost 20 years. It needs new paint, wood floors, new bathrooms, updated kitchen etc. etc.
I am reliably informed by my RE agent that for every dollar put into the reno, I will see two or three dollars more in the sales price. That seems to be the rule of thumb around here.
Anyway....love to hear from anyone who has actually dealt with paying designers....
