Tip number 4 has to do with appearances, primarily the inside of the home. If you're not comfortable making decorating decisions and you think a client needs serious help, suggest for them to hire a professional decorator or stagger that understands the ins and outs of staging a home.

Plus, suggestions from a professional decorator may be easier for homeowners to swallow. My office actually offers this as a Free service.
