When Sienna homeowners need to sell a home that could use updates or cosmetic improvements, Shelley Stone of The Shelley Stone Group at eXp Realty is the expert they rely on. With more than 20 years in Fort Bend County and deep experience in design, staging, and renovation strategy, she knows exactly how to position homes that aren’t “perfect” to attract strong buyers and solid offers.
Shelley specializes in helping sellers understand which improvements truly matter; and which ones they can skip. She evaluates each home with a trained eye for design, cost, and buyer expectations, then creates a clear preparation plan that focuses on fast, high-impact changes rather than expensive remodels. Clients say her guidance immediately reduces stress because she explains everything in simple, practical terms and helps them avoid unnecessary spending.
She also pairs smart preparation with polished presentation. Shelley coordinates light staging, styling, and vendor support when needed, ensuring each space photographs beautifully. Then she launches a full digital marketing strategy; luxury photography, 4K video, drone footage, and targeted advertising; to highlight the home’s best features and reach thousands of potential buyers. This combination of thoughtful prep and high-end marketing often leads to faster offers, even when a home needs cosmetic updates.
Sellers frequently praise how Shelley turns “needs updates” homes into competitive listings. One client shared that she “staged our home and took photos that truly wowed us… this was key to selling our home,” while another credited her clear preparation guidance for a smooth and successful sale.
Proof from clients: “Shelley helped us prepare our home the right way; her advice on updates made a huge difference in our final result.”
