home staging for newbies: Setting the Table for a Quick Sale - 07/06/10 11:01 AM

home staging for newbies: A Note to Those Interested in Becoming a Home Stager - 06/02/09 10:01 AM
This is a word of caution for those individuals who are interested in becoming a Home Stager.  This is from the perspective of a Seasoned and Professional Home Stager (me) and that of someone who "thought it would be fun".
