Staying up to date on the latest trends is a Casey Samson Team priority. We had our weekly meeting at Image Flooring, Kitchen and Baths showroom in Oakton, Virginia and we learned ALOT. They shared the latest information on flooring, kitchens, baths, materials and estimated costs and we can’t THANK them enough. This knowledge makes us more valuable to home buyers and sellers. Everyday we need to advise our clients on any upgrades that will help sell their home. Buyers do not want to buy their parent’s house. Because of this renovation small or large are sometimes a must to get maximum value back for home sellers. The Casey Samson Team is partnered with this amazing company that can do the work for you. Image Flooring’s Team is on payroll and they are a class A VA contractor, so they can do it all. This work can be financed for 12 months which means you can improve, sell and get the benefit while never taking a dime out of your pocket. Call Casey to learn more at 703-508-2535.
