staging: Designing Draperies for Massive Windows - 07/12/09 09:52 AM
The new home designs now offer stunning windows two stories high, massive arch tops and little wall space in between. As an interior decorator and custom designer I find a it fun challenge in accommodating the wishes of my clients is designing window treatments and draperies - but I said fun. For example, in a bay window setting, the builder may have only provided 3-4 inches of wall space on each end of the bay in an effort to enlarge the window space on that wall. And, I've always thought a lot of glass made a beautiful home. But when your … (5 comments)

staging: Season 2 of The Stagers on HGTV - 03/30/09 11:32 PM
The Stagers on HGTV have make their impression on the home staging industry and have found away to really explain what staging really is about and how it benefits the seller. Having a better understanding of this business is what the general population needs. I am constantly networking and shocked as well as disappointed that so few people know about Home Staging or Real Estate Marketing. Where as my favorites HGTV progs, )Design To Sell, The Unsaleables, Get it Sold) do a fair job of depicting what staging is and can do for the home seller. The Stagers break it down, … (8 comments)

staging: The Open House Was A Huge Success! - 03/08/09 10:45 PM
This Open House was a great success! This was a unique staging project in that the home is a product for a community revitalization project in Houston. Due to some concerns of the owner, I did not bring in any furniture except two parson chairs. There was a dining room table (no chairs) and a china cabinet where the hutch lacked the glass shelving (We removed the hutch and staged it as a buffet). I was not allowed to hang curtains or wall art, either. So my staging was limited to mostly the kitchen and bathrooms, as you can see from … (8 comments)

staging: Can You Pass This Test - Something Just For Fun! - 03/05/09 12:15 PM
Do you know when to start packing? How is the "Rule of Three" applied? What's the best way to make the laundry room appeal to buyers? What can you do to make the room look larger? What is an affordable item that can be used throughout the home for staging?
I found this quiz to test your Staging savviness on Realtors.org. Its short and fairly easy, for stagers anyway. Some questions make you think twice, however. Barb Schwarz, of Stagedhomes.com, help create this quiz.
If you score 100% rest assured you have a talent for staging and should use that talent … (9 comments)

staging: To Be or Not To Be (Paid)... That Is The Question! - 03/04/09 08:42 AM
Recent comments about how and when Home Stagers are paid were discussed on my last blog, "It Is Not Good For Realtors To Be Alone..." , hence this blog. I am very interested to know both realtors and home stagers opinions about payment for home staging services.
First, should Home Stagers be paid after the staging services have been completed? or Should Home Stagers be paid after the closing transactions as Realtors are paid.
I just want to be paid as agreed and there are some cases when stagers agree to be paid after the closing transaction. But it seems to … (14 comments)

staging: It is not good for Realtors to be alone... - 03/03/09 06:20 PM
...they need a helper. Everybody needs somebody, including Real Estate Agents and Brokers. You need somebody-a strategic partner, who cares about you and your business, your clients needs, and your goals and quotas. I'm sure you could use a trusted friend - someone to listen to you and who you can confide in and trust wholeheartedly. Someone devoted to you. Someone dependable and reliable. Someone who won't let you down or disappoint you. Isn't it wonderful knowing that there is someone you can pick up the phone and call and they respond "Sure, I can help. Just tell me what you … (21 comments)

staging: How to Impress the Interviewer and You Get the Job - 02/28/09 04:35 PM
I spent several years in workforce development as a professional seminar facilitator coaching job applicants on how to dress to get the job. The classroom would be filled with job searchers whose goals were as diverse as the participants. They consisted of welfare recipients and business executives and were all shapes, colors and sizes. They all had one thing in common - they wanted to know how to dress to impress the interviewer and get the job!
Let me paint the scene for you - There are two job applicants applying for the same office position. The first applicant enters the … (14 comments)

staging: Stop! Don't do It! No, No, No! Don't Reduce That Price! - 02/26/09 08:07 AM
Is it really necessary to reduce the price? OK- so the economy is tough. Go ahead and have that property professional staged to sell faster! If staging is not your choice, or you don't see the value in stagig, then, yes, go ahead and reduce the price, again.
If you're not taking advantage of the services offered by Professional Home Stagers, you can expect your listing to remain on the market another 2 months. By this time your seller is becoming disgruntled and frustrated (and so are you) and is possibly at the point of pulling their home of the market … (19 comments)
