Proof that staging sells - an exact property comparison - 11/28/07 11:18 AM

Everyone seems to ask for proof that staging sells.... I've been watching a property for a while now (and trying to convince the seller - who is a corporation - that they NEED to stage!)
Both of these properties are on the same street, they are the exact same floorplan, built at … (45 comments)

Leave the staging to the experienced.... PLEASE! - 11/12/07 05:29 PM
