Some things to remember in the new year... - 12/31/07 08:06 PM
Sheron wrote a blog about resolutions and promises to make to yourself. It reminded me of a song from one of my favorite artists, Sara Groves. She is a Christian artist and her music is incredibly beautiful and uplifting. I posted the lyrics to that song in her blog but as

I have seen a lot of posts lately on AR regarding individual marketing pieces that work and don't work. There are also a lot of posts about what your business goals are for 2008. What I wonder is: what has worked for you in the past that has really worked? what has

What do your photos show? A new look at a staging portfolio.... - 12/27/07 09:47 PM
One of my goals for 2008 is to remove all stock photography from my websites. We have great portfolio pictures on the appropriate pages, but the main photos are not mine. They were put there by my web designer when we started the sites (2 years ago for www.redesigningcharleston.com and 1

Are you filling out your SIF stats? - 12/20/07 06:18 PM
Tonight I finally had a few minutes to do my SIF stats to fax over to Craig. (I also faxed about 10 of them right before our roundtable a few weeks ago.) I have to say I'm really enjoying the process! It reminds me to keep stats and helps me do

When should you just say NO? - 12/20/07 09:21 AM
Yesterday I went to view one of my best client's properties. It is newly listed and in very bad shape. I would call this a flip house. I'm not going to show photos because it is currently on the market and I don't want anyone local to be able to connect

Just when I think they are getting it.... Million dollar homes revisted... - 12/18/07 07:28 PM
I know I've blogged about this before but I think it bears repeating! I was looking through MLS tonight and was frustrated with some of the photos I was seeing (when there were photos) so I thought I would do a random sampling. My search criteria - listings $1M & over...

I've been very interested in every comment made ... watching the pros and cons... now let me tell you the answer.... *drum roll please* Another view.... (I probably should have added more to the top of the armoire, but wanted to keep the clean lines I had already established.) The adjacent eat

What's right & wrong... which do you prefer & why? - 12/15/07 04:58 PM
Here is a subjective lesson... I staged this house & then agents at an open house re-staged it. Can you guess which one I did & which one they did... What do you like and dislike about each & why.... After you give me your answers, I'll tell you mine...

You asked... I answered.... Sharpen YOUR Sword.... - 12/15/07 10:39 AM
I posted last night a querry on how to comment on posts (specifically before & after posts) where the stager really could have used some tweeking... the old addage, "you don't know what you don't know" thoughts apply. All 8 comments this morning advised it would be good to have a

Is it only me who feels this way? What to do.... - 12/14/07 10:31 PM
Ok, I know I'm a little high strung sometimes - maybe even a bit of a perfectionist but am I the only one with this issue? I look at some of the before and after photos and can't help but want to critique them.... I guess maybe it is my personal pet
