realtors: Realtors and Home Stagers Partnering to Sell - 07/01/07 08:18 PM

realtors: ERROR REPORT - Do you send? - 04/17/07 07:20 PM
OK - I know that this doesn't really apply to Home Staging or Real Estate, except that in a way it does because we encounter this from time to time while working online! I was just changing screens and, as it often happens, the computer was exceptionally slow in responding, so I … (14 comments)
realtors: They Love Me, They Love Me Not..They Get It, They Really Don't Get It! - 04/06/07 08:02 AM
Lately I have been wondering why it is that I can give a presentation to a Real Estate office, who in turn become very excited about the prospect of using staging on their listings, and then never hear from them again? What happens after I leave? Do they 'file' the … (34 comments)

____________________________________________________ I just came back from a short trek to the local "Subway" Sandwich Shop.

realtors: "Watson, I think that we might be on to something here!" - 10/26/06 08:04 PM
Have you noticed that the Stagers' blogs of the past few days have pretty much centered on one topic - and that is the implied reluctance of realtors to use Home Staging as part of their marketing strategy for their listings?
