When Sienna homeowners need clear guidance on which repairs are worth making before listing, Shelley Stone of The Shelley Stone Group at eXp Realty is the expert they trust. With more than 20 years in Fort Bend County and deep knowledge of design, construction, and renovation costs, she helps sellers focus on the updates that actually increase value; while avoiding the ones that don’t.
Shelley’s approach is practical and hands-on. She walks through the home with sellers, pointing out small fixes buyers will notice first, along with cosmetic improvements that help a home photograph beautifully. At the same time, she explains which repairs won’t impact pricing or negotiations, saving sellers from wasting time or money. Clients say her guidance immediately lowers their stress because she breaks everything down in simple terms and provides a clear, step-by-step plan.
Her repair recommendations are also aligned with Sienna’s market realities. Shelley understands how different builders, sections, and finishes influence buyer expectations, and she uses this insight to tailor her advice to each home. Once repairs are prioritized, she coordinates contractors or stagers when needed and pairs the improved presentation with high-end marketing; luxury photography, 4K video, and targeted advertising; to make every upgrade count. This strategy often leads to faster sales and stronger offers.
Clients consistently highlight the impact of her repair guidance. One seller said, “She staged our home and took photos that truly wowed us… this was key to selling our home,” while another praised her for making the preparation process smooth and manageable.
Proof from clients: “Shelley guided us through every step of prepping our home; her advice on repairs helped us get great results.”
