Craig Schiller offered some excellent staging advice in his post Picture What You Preach. I thought it was worthy of a re-post Practice What You Preach - With Great Pictures! I think we Realtors could learn a few things too! Thanks Craig!
Because the end result of a staged home can be a great visual impression, home staging is seen as an image industry. Image companies in the fields of advertising, interior design, and landscaping have for long known that to sell and grow their own businesses; they must present a good visual image of themselves. As image businesses they know and rely on their logos, business cards and websites to communicating their knowledge and creative skill to apply basic design principals in their respective fields.
If home stagers are going to sell to home owners the need and importance of investing money to beautify their homes, which is the product they are selling, then the stager needs to invest money in to do the same for what they sell... which is their staging services To be competitive, a home stager needs to invest in their business image. A stager's image, communicated through a business card, brochure, website and portfolio, must demonstrate knowledge of and skill to apply basic design principals. Doing anything less is hypocritical.
Home stagers also need to practice what they preach to Realtors. If stagers are going profess and advise the importance of using good photography to capture and present a home for sale on-line, then again, a stager needs to do the same for photography they show of the their work on-line. A stager's on-line portfolio is a key, yet often overlooked, tool communicate quality, skill and ability.
Stagers can maximize their on-line credibility is by addressing the following 3 points with their portfolio.
Show Versatility & Proficiency - Every market is different and a stager's work should represent the types of homes being sold in the markets they serve. However the more depth and diversity a stager can show the better. The most compelling portfolios will show staging work that was done in both big and small homes, vacant and occupied homes, low to high end homes, and the ability in to work with a variety of design styles.
Use the Same View Point - Proof of a stager's skill and ability is often shown in Before & After photographs. But quite often the Before photo is taken from a totally different position in a room, from the After photo. The best sales testament and visually dramatic impact Before & After photography will have is when the Before & After photo is taken from the EXACT same angle.
Take Quality Photos - While it may not be possible to take perfect and compelling Befores, the After image needs to be well photographed. Over flashed, under flashed, and blurry photos will hurt even the best staged After transformation. Stagers that invest the time and money to take quality photos visually communicate their commitment to their profession.

Some days, I just wanna scream! Today, I learned another business owner closed his doors in Grants Pass, Oregon. The River's Edge Restaurant and Miranda Mae Cafe were two of my favorite restaurants in Grants Pass, both of which have closed their doors in the last thirty days.
It is difficult to watch how this economy has negatively impacted some of my dearest friends and colleagues. A bad economy is simply not a respecter of persons, it affects everyone. Unfortunately, it appears there will be more casualties along the way before we reach the road to recovery.
My heart goes out to everyone who has lost a business, a home, a job, and maybe even your dignity and self respect. May there be comfort in knowing this too shall pass. In the meantime, let's find meaning in the midst of loss, and a rainbow after the rain.
Good Old Fashioned 100% Juice - Google Juice! I was sitting here drinking my Trader Joe's 100% Pomegranate Juice while Googling my last post; Great Buy on this Grants Pass Oregon Home For Sale! The health benefits of 100% juice are simply amazing.
But even more amazing is how quickly my blog got indexed by Google today... 1.5 hours after creating the post (it may have been sooner, but that is the soonest I checked). I have always known the SEO benefits of Google juice, but this was absolutely stunning!
Like many of you, I live in an area that is over-saturated with real estate websites, where many Realtors are using the same keywords for SEO. So, when Google snatches you up and gives you a healthy boost of Vitamin G (Google), it really helps!
I will continue to drink 100% good old fashioned juice - Google Juice!

Today felt like a moment from the movie; Invasion of the Body Snatchers! As I was sitting in my office, buried in paperwork, I was mesmerized by the view outside my window. It was a beautiful sunny fall day in Southern Oregon, with blue skies and white patchy clouds floating effortlessly above. Clearly, my attention span to the project at hand was hijacked by an invader of another sort.
In the 80's, I worked for a large insurance firm, who had announced that with the advent of fax machines, we would soon be a paperless society. Not sure what paper they were smoking, but here we are 20+ years later, and still buried in paperwork. Perhaps it's a sign...
After moving to the beautiful State of Oregon, I became far more conscious of my recycling habits than ever before. I suppose when you see as many trees as we do in our area, it causes one to think about the cost of chopping them down. As I continue to wrap my mind around a tree, I am exploring ways to reduce our consumption of paper in the office. I am also hoping to eliminate storage space for office files. I have checked with our local Real Estate Agency and they are okay with storing listing and transaction files on a non-rewritable cd.
I am curious to know, has anyone mastered a paperless file system? If so, would you be so kind as to share how you are doing it (i.e. do you have a dedicated person who scans documents all day long?). Thanks for your thoughts and remember to Recycle & Re-use :)
