builders: Staging May be a New Industry, but None of Us Were Born Yesterday (rant warning) - 02/26/08 03:37 PM
I got that phone call AGAIN today.  This time it was a builder rather an agent, but the context of the phone call was the same.
You know that phone call- the one where the person on the other end who has never met you, seen your portfolio, visited your website, or read your blog, but wants to help you grow your business through the incredible amount of exposure they can offer you - if you will stage their property for FREE.  Really, it would be funny if they were kidding, but they never are.  Sometimes they will not even come out and say it, which … (56 comments)
