You dress well. You prepare ahead. You know the business. So what's the problem? As Realtors®, we preach the value of staging in our clients' homes, offering testimony that sometimes even the smallest of changes can make a big difference in the salability of a home.

But our outward appearance just doesn't tell the same story to prospective customers.  10 Ridiculously Easy Professional Makeover Tips  Use a professional domain name for your email address.

They mistakenly believe their license alone wil... 11/04/2015
