vacant home staging: Two Homes, Two Different Price Points with the same results - SOLD - 09/22/09 02:11 PM
I recently posted a blog Professional Home Staging is NOT Just for the Luxury Home Market, where I listed some of our recent successes under the $400,000 price point.  Just today I found out that two more of our very recently staged homes have gone under contract, which proves my point that professional staging should be considered for EVERY price point.
Three weeks ago we staged a spec home for a Custom Home Builder in Chapel Hill NC, listed at $1,175,000.  After languishing on the market for over 200 days the builder had us come stage the property.  Three weeks later they are under … (17 comments)

vacant home staging: From Confusing to Spectacular! - 08/10/07 02:33 PM
