All these shows are staged.

When the foreclosure volume picked up in 2009 and MERs was brought to center stage, the issue was does MERs as a nominee and have a right to enforce the rights within the security instrument to foreclosure.

Most of my marketing expertise I picked up right here on BP (mixed with a healthy amount of stage and sales experience).

I'm glad I did as there is a wealth of information from knowledgeable and charitable members that support this community.As in college, work, and in my other hobbies, I learn from repetition, doing things in incremental stages, and most importantly learning from other people who are highly experienced and knowledgeable.I have one real life mentor, who was my next door neighbor as a child, as she owns several SFRs here in Houston.

Do what the others are suggesting and clean it thoroughly, spruce it up, and stage it.

I may also be able to create a cul-de-sac potentially that would allow for 3 lots to be done.I'm still in the idea stage and looking at all my options.

Hit me up for some back stage access.
