staging: Staging and Realtor in 1? - 03/09/09 01:03 AM

Call me a "Brainist" but I do NOT think a great professional stager can also be a geat full time Realtor.
I know the staging associations of americas are starting to expand into 3 day crash courses to give Realtors an official "accreditation," but that doesn't mean they understand design and … (24 comments)

staging: Stagers Lying About Results - 03/06/09 10:19 AM

So I'm looking for a stager to stage my mother's property in Easton Maryland (anybody have a reference). I come across a pretty little website and they have a "Results" section. It claims that they sell properties in an average of 17 days. Mighty impressive.

staging: Staging Required! Project: Mom's Rental in Arlington Virginia - 08/05/08 12:29 PM

Don't Buy Our Listings!? How can I say that? Because our listings NET sellers more (not buyers). Many agents will tell the sellers, "I can get you top dolla' " (or they BUY a listing) and then turn around and tell buyers "this is a great 'deal'!" Well, you can't have … (15 comments)

Punchline: Buy homes with No Additional photos= Save $15,000 on a $400,000 house.

How many times do you hear "But I really need to sell it fast, I can't wait another week for it to be staged."

This is how I explain to them how to wait and you can use it too.
I say:
About 80% of your … (14 comments)

So I have a long blog coming soon that will reveal to sellers EXACTLY the steps necessary to sell their house FSBO. Including how Flat fee MLS services work (ie only paying the buyer agent).
But I had to write about this first.
A buddy of mine in Chicago wanted to sell his … (31 comments)

staging: A Pilot for Patricia? What a stager can do for BUYERS. - 02/28/07 11:08 AM

Hello Stagers!
I'm a Realtor and a big fan not only of staging, but of Patricia, my stager.
We use staging to help BUYERS see the value in places that need fixing up. Since buyers don't fully understand how a stager (or interior designer) can help them, we made a little video. Our … (11 comments)
