- Welcome To Opposite World
By: Fritz Pfister | - Local Realtors in Springfield Illinois have posted the fifth consecutive month over month increase in the number of home sales June through October. Good news. Or is it?

- Tidying Your Yard For Fall Home Showings
By: Karrie Rose | - One of the reasons that Im sure why so many people put their homes on the market during the summer months is to take advantage of how little work it takes to keep a yard looking nice in those warm months.

While a well-groomed yard doesnt just happen on its own, it is relatively easy to make your yard look welcoming even in the fall ...

- The Importance Of Staging An Older Home
By: Nelson Stewart | - It is surprising, even with all the information out there on how much easier it is to sell a decently staged house, that some sellers are still resistant to the idea. Every house, particularly older homes, should be staged before pictures are taken or any showing takes place. Older houses have to compete with newer homes that, due to style changes, may need far less in the way of renovations or upgrades. Staging can make these homes look a lot more desirable than they would otherwise.
