resa: 5 Thoughts you may have if you're a Realtor considering a Home Stager for your Team - 02/16/11 09:01 AM
I've been getting a lot of calls since the first of the year from Realtors who are looking to partner with a home stager to have on their team.  I'm totally encouraged and excited that many Realtors are seeing the definite benefit of having a home stager on call just like any other service provider.

"Did you charge for your services?", would be a logical next question.

Home staging is a powerful marketing tool that can assist in the successful sale of a home.  Staging is a MUST for selling a home in today's real estate climate. 
With powerful … (23 comments)
