The main claim here is that Ms Friemann must demand lower price so that she gets good recommendation from prospective real estate brokers. The real estate staging makes the homes very lucrative an attractive in front of those who want to buy the homes. It is very natural that the cheapest stager would be recommended by the broker. The pricing also depends on the quality of staging services. It has also been seen that the clients do not wish to spare a dime for the service of staging. Another observation is that it is easy for men to get clients than it is for women.
