FSBO Help Part 2:"Why Staging is Taking Center Stage" 
These days buyers have the luxury of taking their time, shopping around in different neighborhoods, and being very particular in exactly that they are looking for in a new home.  As a seller, this means you need to do everything in your power to make your home stand out against the rest.  Many sellers are turning to staging.
