access realty: 8 Myths of Staging to Sell Your Missoula Montana Home - Busted. - 11/10/09 03:23 PM
Some great myths of home staging, although I do think that smell is very important on a home, and a welcoming aroma is appealing to buyers.

One of the many things a professional home stager understands is that it's the house that's up for sale, not the home owner's bread baking ability or taste in music. So, from the sublime to the … (4 comments)

Lender - You're Doing a Great Job Marketing My Old Home!
We had a surprising compliment from one of our clients yesterday, a lender we represent on a couple of bank-owned properties.
The bank has stated in the past that they like working with us because we promote their listings so heavily on the Internet - a primary strategy in our marketing plan. They just recently received confirmation that our marketing plan is working and that their properties have high visibility on the internet from an unlikely source - the prior owner of the property!
