real estate staging: Help in Detroit Area: Hardwood Refinishing - 10/04/08 11:44 AM
Hello,
I have lost track of my recommended hardwood refinishing company. Can anyone recommend a good company of the sanding and/or dustless variety. Mine seem to have left the business. I have a client with the age old problem of hardwoods of different colors due to sun and area rugs.
Thanks in advance for your help.

real estate staging: A Week of Mondays - 09/05/08 03:58 PM
Have you ever had a week where everyday was a Monday? Things just never went as planned. Well that has been my week, but today I feel like I could be on The Stager. I have a very good repeat client that I tend to go out of my way for. They wanted me to replace a dining table with a much larger dining table. For this I usually work with a rental company to supplement my inventory. I do not have too many houses that need an 80" or 90" table.
Today was supposed to be swapping day (this is Friday … (9 comments)

real estate staging: Home Staging Slipcover Wars; Consultation Lead to Results - 07/26/08 09:10 AM
I am a Home Stager that enjoys walk through consultations. My business stages so many vacant properties that having the opportunity to work with sellers and occupied properties keeps my sales and relationship skills honed and it affords me the opportunity to be creative. I recently worked with a family that provided a perfect example of you win some and you lose some. In Home Stager speak, "You can do as little or as much as you want."

real estate staging: Staging Tip: Update Your Entry - 06/20/08 11:41 AM
For many of us we live with things in our home for years and then when we are ready to sell our house we start doing work and regret that we hadn't done it sooner; or we hope that we can put our houses on the market without tackling repairs. I have a long term goal of moving down south so I have a short term goal of tackling projects that I know as a professional Home Stager should be done before I go on the market. I tackled one of those projects this week that I want to share.
