Let me just lead with EXCELLENT customer service.

I'm so glad you found the post helpful.To answer your question, yes, certain types of homes and markets definitely tend to benefit more from full-service staging.

We want to plan in the most tax vantaged ways (which includes keeping future AGI as low as possible) and open to new-age and creative concepts.Respectfully ask to keep discussion to topic vs. selling one's self or services seeking new business.

Customer service is always great when they have something to sell, I am sure you know this. 

Of course, you should switch companies if you are unhappy with their services.
