real estate: HOME STAGING: DOES MORE EXPENSIVE MEAN BETTER QUALITY AND RESULTS?
- 05/25/12 04:55 AM
Does being more expensive mean better quality and results? Many people believe that when an item or service costs more it must mean that it's because the quality or service is better. Some times, that is true. I admit I am a name brand shopper, particularly when it comes to food and groceries. I'm sorry but in my opinion, my Haggen-Dazs ice cream tastes way better than any other national or store brand out there. And I like my Bounty pper towels and Quilted Northern toilet tissue a lot better than those other supposed leading brands. And when it comes to … (2 comments)
real estate: ARE YOU TAKING MONEY OFF THE TABLE?

real estate: Are "Designer Touches" A Good Thing When It Comes To Selling? Before and After
- 03/03/10 06:40 AM
I see lots of listings advertising "designer touches" throughout and more often than not, this is what I see. A beautiful home that has been exquisitely decorated all to the current owner's personal taste. I see these same homes still on the market week after week and month after month. Why? Because they are too taste specific. Yes, the home is beautiful and well maintained and priced right.
