Tip 5 of 5 Selling your Home
Invest in the Your Home Sale. Ask clients to invest 1/2% of the home's asking price in repairs and staging. Then use that money to paint tired walls, remove out-of-style wallpaper, or store worn out furniture. The money invested may actually reap substantial returns

activerain blogging: #1 of 5 Staging Tips for Sellers from Scott Larson - 10/21/09 01:59 PM
