real estate staging: De-Staging: The Least Favourite Part of a Home Stager's Job - 06/11/08 07:03 PM

real estate staging: Put A Smile On Your Home's Face - The Importance of Curb Appeal - 05/27/07 08:31 PM
Many people underestimate the importance of curb appeal when selling their home. When you want to get top dollar for your property, it's important that the exterior be just as appealing as the interior. Why not put the effort into the little extras that will show people how much you have cared for your home. Many potential buyers scout around their target areas taking down the numbers of homes for sale that are of interest to them. If the outside of your home looks tired and uncared for, chances are your real estate agent won't be getting a call from that potential buyer to book a … (8 comments)
