It seems a key component is selling your personal residence for 399k.From the pictures it is clear you need to declutter and take personal pictures and items out of there.When the property is staged you are sending the message that you have mentally moved out of the house.If you have a bunch of stuff there it will seem to a buyer you have it listed but are not ready to move on.Also the buyer will have a hard time envisioning themselves and their memories there and will be focused and amused by your STUFF.What are the recent SOLDS for the area?
