The Power & Challenge of Rural Curb Appeal - 02/23/07 01:58 AM
I owned a property with 4.5 acres - when it was time to sell, I knew this would be one of my biggest challenges!
We built this home ourselves - I designed the home from concept to completion - and we thought we would live there forever so all I had to think about was ‘what did I want'.
So the house was a vacation style home (sort of an A frame) with 1.5 stories and 16ft tall walls and a ceiling peek of 21 feet from the main floor and a wonderful window wall of tall angled windows that overlooked our piece … (0 comments)

Stagers & Realtors - A perfect Match? - 02/21/07 10:44 AM
I wanted to ask all stagers and realtors their feelings about working together after reading many posts about home stagers marketing to realtors and getting only luke warm repsonses at best.

What you need to know Before you hire a Home Stager - 02/21/07 12:52 AM
Home Staging is a non-regulated industry. Keeping this in mind - Professional Home Stagers DO NOT require licensing and there is no legally recognized certification or accreditation.
