furniture rental: Have You Rung the Doorbell?
- 10/08/10 05:49 PM
I can't believe that I haven't thought about this before, but I was teaching a staging class this week and a Realtor in the class asked if we had suggestions for doorbells! Her concern was that:
They might not work They might make some ridiculous noise or play a song We have been staging Cincinnati homes for over 7 years and I have to admit that the only doorbell comments I have made are when they are cracked or the button itself is damaged.

furniture rental: It's August And The Landscaping is Terrible!
- 08/31/10 05:27 PM
I just learned a great tip from a landscaper that might come in handy with vacant homes or those where the homeowner does not like to stay on top of watering their lawn.

This worked very well for … (9 comments)

furniture rental: How To Handle The End Of The Tax Credit
- 04/25/10 03:46 PM
The Cincinnati Real Estate Market has been positively impacted by the home buyer’s tax credit. Home staging in Cincinnati has become an integral part of the selling process. However, many sellers rushed to get their homes on the market. For some, the rush to “just get it on the market” may have taken precedence over getting the house ready for the market. When the tax credit option ends April 30th, it will be necessary for those who haven’t yet sold their homes to look back at what they’ve learned, and go forward with the information armed and ready to sell. … (4 comments)
