Charming, So did I. It felt staged, though perhaps all they did was inflate an initial slight pause into a longer one. But it felt phony.

It was _very interesting that the price at auction was a tie, but the flippers who were most prudent with their budget won because they could add their unspent budget to the purchase cost.

The renovators did a fantastic job with the kitchens and bathrooms and backyard spaces. The final staging was to me far too personal to the flippers.

Maybe next year they can hire professional stagers to bring out the good points of the renos, as all the 4 apartments had wonderful improvements. It's a handicap to furnish and design a house from a single source, perhaps.

Burnsite, having professional stagers is a good idea. I know the twins who seemed to struggle throughout the entire process even mentioned they were just learning how to decorate. Their strength appeared to be carpentry and doing it to perfection sometimes so much that they wouldn't finish on time.
