cort: CORT partners with home stagers to bring staging services to a growing segment - 05/07/09 07:09 PM
Yesterday CORT furniture rental company announced that it was launching a "national home staging services" segment of their business and it may have set off some red flags in the staging community, especially if you read one of the releases that was "tweaked" in the Bizjournals article. It was certainly confusing and misleading to some degree. After speaking with the media representative, Amanda Denton, and my local CORT representative, Kathy LaMarr I received permission to post the original press release as correctly written here on my blog. I have taken the liberty to highlight, in bold blue, the areas I hope will

On Tuesday, November 18th, 2008 I had the privilege once again of leading the discussion topics for our 2nd Dallas, Ft.

cort: "What if I don't like it?" - 08/17/08 04:30 PM
Hum. That question, referring to the furniture and decor proposed for use in a vacant property, was posed to me this week by a client who has never worked with a home stager before. Although I've never been asked this question directly before, I could relate. I'm sure others have thought to ask me the very same thing just maybe didn't feel comfortable enough to ask out loud. There are many sellers in this same predicament and some are nervous. Home staging is an investment and it's not a small one when we're talking vacant property staging. How many home sellers
