This is just a little something that a buyer will remember and appreciate, and it doesn't cost a fortune. Another tip if you really want to wow the buyers … (8 comments)

- 04/11/10 06:23 PM
Why you should have your home professionally staged. Did you know? Only 10% of buyers can visualize their belongings in a vacant home, that means 90% can't. The longer a buyer lingers in a home the better, the average for a vacant home is 5 minutes opposed to 40 minutes for a staged property.
