Agents Light the Way for Buyers – Sometimes Literally A Roundup of Housing News for President’s Day Weekend By Lew Sichelman | Special to Banker & Tradesman | Feb 14, 2021 | Reprints | Print
Chris Ann Cleland is a self-described “stickler for details.” That’s why the associate broker for Long & Foster Real Estate in Gainesville, Virginia, almost blew a gasket the other day when she toured a house for sale.
The place was “staged beautifully” with artwork and furniture, Cleland posted recently on the ActiveRain real estate site. But lightbulbs were missing from the bathroom fixture over the vanity. The foyer chandelier contained bulbs of different sizes and shapes. There was “absolutely zero lighting” in the secondary bedrooms, and the master bathroom’s shower had rust stains.
