The $2.65 million house that is featured in this article has been on and off the market for five years. Showhomes Franchisee, Michelle Bondi was hired to stage and live at the property while it was on the market.

“If you walk into a house that’s vacant, it feels cold, empty and most people in today’s market have no vision how they are going to decorate it and do furniture placement,” Bondi told The Daytona Beach News-Journal. “When someone walks into a model house that is furnished, they want to buy that model because it looks great and they have an attachment to it.”
