What about Virtual Staging? - 09/26/09 03:46 PM
There are virtual assistants, paperless transactions and now virtual staging. What is virtual staging?
 
  I had to do a little homework surfing the net to make sure I understood virtual staging because you see, virtual staging is not really there.  It is real estate "make believe."  It is more akin to a blueprint to a house.  Everybody knows the blueprint is NOT the house.  It is just a plan.  On the other hand, the MLS photos are guaranteed to look great and there is no heavy lifting of furniture involved.

Staged Home Sizzles in Abilene, Texas! - 09/03/09 11:30 PM
The home was painted, cleaned,,decluttered, and prepped for sale.  Then like frosting on a cake the final staging furnishings and decor were put into place.
The broker owner asked me to stage the property for him and I agreed.  Here are the BEFORE 2ND LIVING area which went from painful red to refreshing neutral.  The clutter of exercise equipment was expunged.  A dated dining table was replaced by wicker and light and bright decor.

My Blog is about my real estate career of buying, selling, leasing, managing properties, and home staging. I can help anyone in Abilene, Texas to buy or sell or manage properties or stage properties. My passion is staging because it is the premier marketing strategy to get to "SOLD" in the shortest amount of time. Staging a home leads to more showings which leads to more offers. Staging is part of my marketing plan for selling and leasing. I stage for other Realtors and homeowners. I stage both vacant and occupied properties. I do model homes and model apts. Big or small, I stage them all.
