home staging: Buyers Can't Buy It if They Can't Find It!
- 08/24/14 05:07 AM
Prosepctive buyers always talk about looking for a house, but could they be talking about your listing, literally?

Many communities and HOAs do not allow broker signs, and GPS is imperfect, reception can be sketchy in all sorts of areas.
