On today's episode Stacy and Erin discuss misconceptions about what constitutes a renovation. Hint, to renovate means to make new, and new is new, not 10 or 20 years old y'all. They also call out the half-assers and DIYers on their versions of renovations. Sorry sellers, but changing the sink in your 50 year old bathroom doesn't *quite* constitute a "full renovation".  Plus, the ladies share their formula for success when prepping your home for sale. Lastly, they dive into the fallout they're seeing from the new commission laws that are in effect and how it impacts agents, buyers, and deals in the real world.
