home stager: Psssssssssst! Look what AR Realtor's are saying about Home Staging and Home Stager's!!!!! - 09/03/08 07:54 AM
This morning I woke up to find an AR Featured Post by Kathy McGraw, California whom I had the pleasure of working with by home staging her listing in Banning, CA.
Kathy's post Tuesday Truths- Do you really trust other Real Estate Professionals?  is a must read about working with and learning from other RE Professionals...and in this case through ActiveRain.

How sweet is that!!!!! :)

The power of Active Rain and the AR community is amazing.  I never thought that searching online and finding AR would be such a blessing to me and so many other AR colleagues.

One week before Christmas I got wonderful news that a house that I staged got an offer 3 weeks after it was listed.  I just blogged about this yesterday.  Going, Going, GONE! The Staged Mobile Home Sold!!!

home stager: What's in a "Naymz"? A lot if you want better search engine placement! - 01/03/08 11:22 AM
I wanted to share with you something I saw on fellow AR member Tom Plant's blog Enough Is Enough! I'm Outing Someone And I Don't Care About The Consequences .  Tom writes about an AR friend Bill Gassett that introduced him to better website search engines that can offer him better SE placements.  Some for FREE!
Well, currently I am happy with my Google placement. When you search under "Murrieta Home Stager" or "Murrieta Home Staging" but some of the surrounding cities that I service don't show up as well.  OK I am still on page 1 just not at the TOP.  :)  Call … (33 comments)

home stager: Sometimes all it takes is a little PAINT! - 10/14/07 03:40 PM
Oh what a difference a little paint and accessories can make!  The home seller was a little resistant at first but rewarded in the end! :)
We can suggest repainting or painting a room till we are blue(or in this case green) in the face.  Next time I will be sure to share this before and after with future clients.   

 The paint in the after picture is a little warmer then the photo shows.  My bad!

Buying vacant home's is like buying an empty box (of chocolate).  Let's face it, an empty box is a lot harder tosell then a box (of chocolate) with something in it. 
Staging vacant properties create's a warm and inviting atmosphere and allows potential buyer's to visualize themselves living in the home.  Let's … (22 comments)
