SOLD in Ashley FarmsMatthews, NC - This home literally sold in HOURS... and we had back-up buyers as well! We even had a bidding war on the back-up Offers!  Our sellers took our advice and took the time for proper packing and prepping their home for the market. The sellers had lived in the home for 17 years and had children and had accumulated quite a bit of 'stuff,' needing to be sorted and re-staged. One of my agents, who also owns a staging company, spent 3 days with the sellers, decluttering and staging the home. In the end, the home looked amazing and that was evidenced by the many Offers we received on Day-1 on the market. With a 30-day Close, the sellers were enjoying their newfound minimalistic habits, having a lot less 'stuff' to pack-up and move to their larger new home.  The ... 03/08/2019
