I used her tips and tricks and transformed a family members home into a buyers dream. She has a gift for neutralizing rooms in such a fashion that they exude relaxation and personality but without OVER personalizing a room. Literally, your home will 'speak' to each buyer so that they can say, "I could absolutely see myself living here."
For a fraction of what the sale price is and oodles of elbow grease you can make your home appeal to a greater number of buyers and even pull in an added profit, as we did.

Ann Maurice has done brilliantly in the UK by doing what Estate Agents should be doing - working for their clients to sell their houses as fast and for as much money as possible; I doubt that this is a description that many would recognise.
Ann does "home staging". This is a part of the real estate market which she has had pretty much all to her self for a number of years in the UK. It is not property investment, property development, interior design or restoration. It is the activity that leads to the greatest return on investment while ensuring that a property is sold. The focus is short term results from little effort - if only most people who sold their houses had a read of this first! For anyone involved in real estate therefore, this, or one of her other books, is pretty essential reading.
This book covers a lot of her well prove ideas in one place and for that reason is superior to her previous efforts, which have sometimes been paper versions of the TV series. As she now develops her off screen business with training offerings anyone keen to learn more will do well starting here.
