home staging success in AtlantaIt's the 2009 First Quarter End for Peachtree Home Staging

I was rewarded with (almost) a full office day today.  Something I haven't had in weeks!  I reference "almost" as I had to bug out for a little while to a nearby home to quickly de-stage this morning. 

Q1 '09 -- It has been our best quarter ever!

Oh, my, oh, my . . . home staging has made it's way to the south!  Could it be true?

Let it be noted. . . I am singing in the Rain!  (YES, although I have been a part of ActiveRain for 2 years now, I must give some major credit to ActiveRain for the amount of Google business I have had this first quarter).

Here's just one story of my 1st Quarter 2009 Stories -- yes, just one (there is more I can share in a later post):

Client #1 finds Peachtree Home Staging on Google via my Active Rain Blog . . . she hires me to home stage

Client #1 refers me to Client #2  . . . Client #2 hires me to home stage

Client #2 sends me a testimony of satisfaction. 

Client #3 finds me on Google via my ActiveRain Blog . . . calls Client #2 to verify their testimony of satisfaction.

Client #3 hires me -- house sells in 60 days.

Client #3 is so thrilled he calls his agent to say it was because of Peachtree Home Staging his house sold in 60 days.

Client #3's agent becomes Client #4

Client #4 is so impressed with the staging of her own personal home that she tells her broker

Yes, you get it, Broker becomes Client #5 to call me to train his Realtors regarding my home staging services.

As a result of Client #5, tomorrow I am going to home stage for Client #6.

Yes, I am SINGING IN THE RAIN!!!     #6 and it is only APRIL, Folks!

What I love about this is that it is just one thread that I have active right now!  I love the way I am getting repeat business from multiple threads right now.  

I have been blessed to create this successful thriving business.  But, honestly, I genuinely thank all of you that have followed my posts and ActiveRain for providing the venue that has ignited many paths of success for Peachtree Home Staging!

Guess I will end with a WOO HOO!

Ah . . humm . . . I mean . . . "THANK  YOU"  (excuse me as I was momentarily taken over by excitement)

Karen ~ Could you please send some of that happy chain reaction over here? I'm not a bit surprised that your clients pass on news of your talent from one to the next....but it's so much fun to read about how they spread the word.  I'll look forward to updates on this in the future ~ I'll bet it goes on and on!

Karen, no surprise to Linda or I.  We always figured your work and your business in the Atlanta area would be like a really good pot of home made soup.  Get it started, let it simmer and the results would be a prize winning dish.  Good for you!  Now for the next challenge, how are you going to keep up with it when everyone wants a bowl of your soup?

Hi Tarina-- thx for stopping by -- yes, business does grow.  Just keep strutting your stuff!

Wendy -- I think you are such a sweetheart! thx for your many kink comments

Hi Donna-- well you nailed that one.  My bloging and commenting has really slowed down and then helping to moderate, plus a couple of volunteer jobs .. .  I haven't been this busy since my kids were little!

Hey there Cathy L. -- Oh No, not me . . . not the TV kind of gal.  I like my private audiences.  I'll just stay behind the camera thank you very much!

Thx, Sharon!  I love sharing this kind of news.  I think this referral stuff is an indication that staging is becoming more and more standard for the real estate industry and that DOES excite me!

Yes Patsy -- KEEP it UP!  Active rain creates great google juice . . .

Wonderful news Karen! I am thrilled to hear things are going so well for you! And it's truly amazing the power of doing great work! I always say that's the best way to get more business. Because I can't tell you the number of new clients who found me because they saw one of my Staged properties and picked up a card. Great work!
