At the Awareness Stage (which is where you seem to be), you can get away with having a lot less detail.

Already know what will happen, it will be cleaned out of moms clutter, staged and listed just above 500, like 549,900 to come down and it will sit empty for well over a year, maybe 2.

I'm a former public education elementary school teacher.  

As the owner of brokerage, with agents in Austin (that's where I am), San Antonio, Houston and Dallas, I'm going to answer that with a firm "depends".First, I'm assuming you are talking residential (1-4 family)...All listings commissions in Texas are negotiable (not set by statue or board rules like in some states).  6% is standard.But for 6%, on a multi-million dollar home, I would expect some marketing $$$ spent by the agent.... luxury magazines, staging, etc.  

I am okay with looking foolish here in the beginning stages on this site (no money involved yet, and great insight from those who have done this before).

Don't be overwhelmed by this, since it may be more info than you really need at this stage.

The challenge at this stage is managing the FC and also how to handle unexpected cost.  

Hello i am also a new investor in the new orleans / slidell area, we have a home staging business here already can use any advise or contact please get back with me

Ive started by looking at the elementary school rankings.

Dallas, TX- Bathroom has mold- House is close to mailbox, entrance to complex, tennis court, and swimming pool- Walking distance to gas station, grocery store- Near Richland college- Audelia Creek Elementary is walking distance
