professional home staging: As Professional Stagers we must put the needs of the Sellers first. - 07/07/10 10:24 PM
In this economy more & more, as professional Home Stagers we must put the financial needs of the sellers first.  Yes, we look good when we turn an ugly duckling into a beauty contest winner - SOLD!  We achieve this by practicing Home Staging in the truest sense:
Home Staging is preparing a home for sale so it sells faster and for more money, all the while keeping the sellers time frame & budget in mind. Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging
Most of my recent projects have been somewhere in between vacant & occupied Staging.  Let me explain.  Two have … (7 comments)

professional home staging: Business Changes - Change with it or Business Ceases - 03/17/10 07:09 AM
It has been a few months since I have posted a relevant; lengthy blog.  As I begin this morning (I have been up since 3 AM) I cannot say this post will be either relevant or lengthy.  
Needless to say those of us in real estate related fields are feeling the change much the same as are Realtors & Brokers.  OUCH!  As I told my mother in her latter years, "Life Changes Every Day; more on some days than on others."  This certainly is the era for mega change.  At my age I cannot say I like the turns our … (4 comments)

professional home staging: Professional Associations can bring you business or drive it toward others - 06/21/09 05:38 PM
I had an amazing conversation with a client yesterday. He had already relocated to Texas but had not sold his house in Florida. As a vacant property, he already knew he needed to Stage the property to sell it faster. After doing extensive Internet research on Professional Home Staging he called me. His primary requirement in a Stager was someone in an “association”. He did numerous online searches and narrowed his search to the Professional Stagers from www.StagedHomes.com and specifically members of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals. He then furthered his search by going to individual web sites, looking … (3 comments)

professional home staging: What is the right house for Staging? - 05/14/09 07:43 AM
To be absolutely honest - there is not a house on the market today that will not benefit from Professional Home Staging ... all but the ones already "professionally" Staged.
In my market I have met hundreds of Realtors that are ready to Stage, "When I get an appropriate property."  What?  I have Staged properties from the luxury, multi-million dollar range all the way down to $70,000. ALL benefit!!
In Florida, where I am located there are many, many retirees.  Upon their passing it is common to see properties placed on the market that with the remnants of a life - aka - what … (4 comments)

professional home staging: WHEN IS A "SHORT SALE" NOT A short SALE" Belle Harbor - Clearwater Beach, FL - SOLD FORTY FIVE DAYS after Professional Staging - 11/12/08 06:03 AM
Why - a SHORT SALE sells in the shortest amount of time while a short SALE sells under the loan amount on said property!!  The following was a TRUE SHORT SALE!!
I recently Staged a vacant condominum @ Belle Harbor; Clearwater Beach, Florida.  My friend Jeanne Warner, ASPM, IAHSP assisted.  We Staged using 100% of my furniture.  The complex is 2-3 years new, with tons of amenities, a super location and beautiful.  From the first day I was called I knew the unit was priced right - $40,000 less than the last comp to sell there.  The major obstical to this unit hit you as you entered!  You looked from … (2 comments)
