I just had to share this one with all of you, as this real life case is proof on what Staging a vacant property can do! I had a client who was not able to sell his condo for several months, as in spite of the fact that it's quite nice, it is situated in a very lively area of Montreal (not to say ...

I am not sure why but I am being asked to stage quite a few vacant properties in the Montreal (Quebec)  area these days.  I think I am becoming the Vacant Property specialist! LOL We all know that vacant properties are even harder to sell, as the defects on walls, floors and ceilings stand out mo...
