., one thing to keep in mind with Aarons....DO NOT sign up via the website as they only do lease to own via the website.You can select what you are interested in but go to your local store and talk to the manager about staging.

You will get what you pay for essentially.For REI's, Virtual Assistants are best to help with listing management and coordination, email marketing and direct mail campaigns, market research, transaction coordination, social media, and buyer/seller/agent correspondences- things that are essential but also take up a lot of your time.
