best stager: FAKE is OK, Just Don't be CONTRIVED - 03/29/07 02:07 AM
While home staging does require being visually creative, it really is a bit of marketing and merchandising "trickery" that gets the job done. Unlike the practices of interior design, decorating or re-design, staging is about creating an illusion of a possible lifestyle within a particular house that appeals to the largest home … (59 comments)

From the moment I found Active Rain I knew it was a very special site.

I believe because of this generosity, Active Rain is the success it is for ALL … (29 comments)

best stager: Staging Realtors... how big are your guns? - 10/25/06 06:07 AM
When should a realtor, who considers themselves to be a stager, bring in a professional real estate stager? In my opinion it really comes down to 3 key elements: TIME, TALENT, & TREASURE. A keen and rich knowledge of these basic 3 elements and a system for implementing and administering them is … (14 comments)

When staging a property... scale, proportion, color and style matter greatly.
That is why we have developed our own extensive Staging Prop Library that allows our Property Stylists to select just the right pieces that subtly blend in, yet enhance the properties overall appeal.
Comprised of neary 2000 items and valued at … (5 comments)
