staging company: How much is too much? Turning Eye Appeal into Buy Appeal! - 06/22/10 02:24 AM
I am constantly asked this question...How much is too much?
 
When I go into a house I look around initially, ask questions on lifestyle and what their schedules are. Do they have young children, teenagers or pets, etc. And then I start making suggestions.

staging company: Competition - Healthy or Not? - 11/23/09 11:51 AM
Is competition healthy in the home staging field or not?
