''Location may be the most important factor for buyers when determining
price, but it is the photos that help entice them to the open house''
"You want someone who will respect the fact that in many cases you're
putting your most valuable asset on the market and this represents not
only a financial but an emotional transaction"
* Hide all TV revotes
"Sell on emotion and if you can get that emotional connection on a property the price becomes secondary''
"At dusk there is warmth - it makes a huge difference. Apartments can look pretty ordinary in the cold, hard light of day''
