If you spend a little more and put in better flooring on the steps it can enhance the look in the entire house, and since it doesn’t take a tremendous amount of carpet to do the steps – it’s a semi-cheap way to drastically improve the look of the home or apartment.If your bedrooms are going to be for families – their preference is usually a frieze (soft carpet), or if it’s someone older and has a more difficult time getting around the preference is usually a low pile carpet (Berber, patterned etc.).

To quote the press release this will help "kickstart adoption of the roadmap, the alliance has recruited a group of 36 “pioneer cities” that will collaborate with global experts to enhance their city policies, in areas ranging from privacy protection and cyber security to better services for disabled people and better broadband coverage."

This means:a) coming up with a plan of realistic recommendations (varies by what seller is able to do)b) helping the seller execute that plan to the best extent reasonable (varies by situation)c) staging every home, whether vacant or occupied (we do our own staging but it's professional grade, for occupied homes it's usually removing some furniture, shifting other furniture around to enhance flow and feel of space, sometimes adding furniture pieces if the originals date the home too much, i.e. trading out a coffee table or couch, etc.), usually replacing ALL art work and most decor items, advising on specific paint colors that are good for resale, consulting on outdoor plantings/landscaping and often just installing some plants ourselves. 

I look forward to meeting many of you and hope to enhance my goals by being a part of this community.
