real estate: The Magic of Staging - 04/26/07 02:24 PM
Remember back to the last time you went house hunting. It can be a daunting and exhausting experience. You meet your agent, who excitedly tells you about the homes scheduled for the day.  They all sound fantastic. You set out with hope and optimism that today you find a new "home".
But with each stop, your optimism wanes.  The decor needs updating, the tile is cracked the countertops are just plain ugly!  You think about all the work it will take to make this a home you love.
