matthew finlason: You’re a home stager? That must be so glamorous! - 01/25/12 02:35 AM

I can already hear all of the current home stagers snickering at this saying because we hear it all the time.

Matthew Finlason from The Stagers
Being a home stager has been an inspiring and exciting profession.  I’ve loved getting intimately involved with the real estate market, understanding it’s ups & downs, networking with both my real estate and staging peers, many of which have become good friends, and having the creative outlet of working with both my own inventory and the clients.  The one thing I’ll say … (7 comments)

matthew finlason: What I learned in Matthew Finlason's Advanced Home Staging Training - YES! Even I still learn new stuff! - 03/18/11 04:49 PM
There is so much to share about what I learned from Matthew Finlason in his Advanced Home Staging Training course.  While much of what he had to share I already do, what I really learned were some key differentiations.  I've focused on staging for demographics, buyer demographics and psychographics for years now.  I have all kinds of aesthetic shots in my marketing and have even taught webinars on portfolio photography. 
I've been in business for 6 years now and run a very successful company.  Still I have much to learn.  I don't necessarily measure upgrades in my education by learning completely … (19 comments)
