Marking Down for a Move

Host and stager Sabrina Soto says decluttering the place and toning down the decor could help matters as well.

Update: After the open house, the Hernandez home had lots of potential buyer interest but no offers to buy.

The family plans on being reunited next year in France, at which point they will consider placing their home back on the market.
