Thanks for the info. We are going to be putting our house on the market in the near future and I intend to discuss all your points with the realtors and get a contract in writing as to what they are going to do to sell my home.

I am a big fan of staging and have gotten a book filled with ideas. We cannot afford to spend a lot to get our house ready but there is a great deal the realtor can do to reach prospective buyers.

Staging is really good. If you want more info mail me. Some of the marketing items are more effective than others and one is a waste of time and money. Most important is be friendly with the Realtors(don't just go with the one that promises the most services), keep calm, and find someone you want representing you. I don't like to take any business if there is ANY issue- material or emotional- between us. We are a team and I try to get that mission statement defined ASAP.
