When I go into a house I look around initially, ask questions on lifestyle and what their schedules are. Do they have young children, teenagers or pets, etc. And then I start making suggestions. Yes, I want the house to look as best as possible but and this is a big one the homeowners still have to live there. Selling your house is a difficult and stressful time in any ones life. My job as a stager is not to make it worse but to help make it easier. I … (7 comments)

stager: Why do some Realtors suggest NOT to stage a property?
- 03/03/10 04:33 PM
Why do some Realtors suggest NOT to stage a property? After years and years of staging properties it still amazes me how some realtors still discourage sellers from staging. Is it because they didn't suggest staging right away and the house has sat unsold for so long they don't want to admit they could have done more? Or is it because they think that it honestly doesn't work?
If so I ask why have home builders been "staging" their properties forever. Why do the statistics tell us that staged properties sell faster for more money than non staged properties? Bottom … (20 comments)
stager: Stager House Hunting!?!?!
- 02/15/10 04:37 PM
We recently started house hunting for our family. With a growing family (3 girls....need more bathrooms) and a busy lifestyle we've outgrown our home. Being a stager / designer makes it especially difficult when were looking at a house for us. I thought I could be more objecive and look past all of the personal items and weird paint but guess what I'm looking at the houses for myself and not as a stager. It seems that I'm just like every other buyer and wish a stager would have visited the house before us. I don't want to see dirty clothes … (7 comments)

stager: Surprise! Your going to Maui!!!!
- 01/05/10 07:42 PM
My husband's Birthday falls on Jan 1 and this year was a big one (40th). I wanted to do something special for him and not just the normal party. I thought since it's Winter and we really needed a vacation why not surprise not only him but my 3 girls as well (not to mention a nice little trip for me).
So I went ahead and started planning and planning and planning....I asked family and friends to join us on a trip and our best friends decided to as well. We settled on Maui (my husband and I had … (1 comments)
