Meet Malik
First-time sellers usually want to know what their house is worth. Malik's Athens clients get a different first answer: here is the order we do things in. Repairs, then paint, then the deep clean, then the photographs, then the launch. Out of order it costs more and shows worse, and almost everyone wants to start with the photographs.

Before the number, the order
Most sellers want a value first. Malik starts somewhere else: what needs fixing, what needs paint, what needs cleaning, and then what gets photographed.
Repairs, then paint, then the camera
