covington real estate: Home Staging 101 - 11/15/13 05:34 AM
Many sellers don't realize the importance of home staging. It's something simple that will create a dramatic impact when your home is on the market. Here are a few tips to help homeowners stage their properties.
 
Clear the Clutter.  Buyers buy on emotion - they have to be able to envision themselves in a property before making an offer.
