How I got into Home Staging

Written by Debra Gould -

That’s the entrance to my current home, it’s the 6th one I bought in an 8 year period. I bought this one after finding it on the Internet. Priced below market value, it was my chance to move to this city.

I bought the house right after the agent open house. When a home is priced that … Read More →

The folly of thinking anything is secure

Written by Debra Gould -

Nothing is secure in life as everyone is profoundly reminded of every September 11. I’ll leave it to others to comment on the meaning and aftermath of what happened on this tragic day.

Get rid of the garbage and then stage to sell!

Written by Debra Gould -

Garbage has no place in a home that’s on the market. If this couch was too bad to keep it had no business being in the house while it was on the market!
