And one of the side benefits from our experience was that the hubster now understands why I get so anal about making sure our house looks good when we have a showing. And why we have to keep it within an hour of perfection just in case.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-13729323193878611592009-12-21T06:09:05.418-07:002009-12-21T06:09:05.418-07:00Excellent post, Terry!

One had a bedroom that was a multi-dog room. It smelled like dog. I'm not sure you'd ever get the smell out of that room. Another, the family needed a couple of hours to clean before we arrived. We wondered what it looked like BEFORE we arrived, it was such a wreck when we got there. :)Terry Spearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788961423817944896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30931389.post-15249774079089176602009-12-17T15:14:46.305-07:002009-12-17T15:14:46.305-07:00Thanks, Eilis.

I've never thought about the similarities between staging and querying, but you're so right.<br /><br />Can you imagine not preparing your house for a showing? In THIS economy? And then you start thinking...wonder if they took care of their house or if there are all kinds of repairs that need to be done...<br /><br />Elizabeth<br /><a href="http://mysterywritingismurder.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> Mystery Writing is Murder</a>Elizabeth Spann Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15625595247828274405noreply@blogger.com
