A savvy real state agent with some design knowledge will know exactly what the market will support. They should also know people that will stage it for you. When ever we buy and sell properties, we gut the whole thing and rebuild it back up. Everyone was staged before it was on the market. Our prices ranged from 2500 to 4000 dollars. these numbers should be pretty close with your location. Everyone sold within 3 weeks once it goes on the market.
YOu may want to renovate the kitchen and the baths to bring in the big dollars. those are the first thing we do without question. I don't care how clean or good they are, its going. Buyers who are spending large sums of money know that a bath or kitchen is not brand new. We put in custom kitchen and baths jsut for that very reason. Buyer do not want old germs. Plus, the cabinets come our of my cabinet shop and my other guys are doing all the remodel. I ahve a bit of control there.
