CATFIGHT!!!!! Charleston (Melissa Marro) vs. Atlanta (Kathy Nielsen)

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Triad Real Estate Photography

Hey Gang:

For those of you who have been following my posts for the past year, you may have caught onto a little friendly "rivalry" between Melissa Marro and Kathy Nielsen regarding relocating me from Greensboro, NC to either Charleston, SC or Atlanta, GA, respectively.   Well, while I have no plans to move from Greensboro to either spot (too South for me), the gauntlet has been thrown down!

I am very excited to announce that my photography services have been retained by ONE of these two amazing Home Stagers.  I will be shooting three properties this weekend, and will be posting those images sometime next week. So stay tuned!!!!

If you care to guess who fired the first shot, please provide your guess here.  Melissa and Kathy and Chrissie Sutherland (she already knows) are ineligible to vote (or post about this).

While I am extremely excited about this opportunity, I also look forward to the day where I can work with the other stager to capture her incredible work as well.  It is always a joy to work with some talented and amazing home stagers like Chrissie, Kim Lee, Michelle Kurelich to name a few...

Two ladies that want the best and that's you Andrew.  So I'm not surprised that the claws came out.  Will be on the lookout for you posting of the photos and the reveal.  BTW....I'm betting that it's Melissa.

This is hilarious.  Ginger is right, by the way... if you weren't so darn good at what you do, there wouldn't be this huge cat fight over you.

The way this is shaping up, I may need to pack some Neosporin in my camera bag to cover the claw marks.  =P

Andrew, love this title! I absolutely adore both Melissa and Kathy and certainly couldn't imagine what the dispute was about. Whoever wins the opportunity for you to photograph their property is certainly one lucky girl.

I wish I wasn't busy this weekend so I could go with you.  Both Charleston and Atlanta are about 5 hours from here so it could be either of their lucky day...(even though I know where you're going)  Have a wonderful time, be careful, AND YOU BETTER NOT MOVE THERE OR I'LL HAVE TO HANDCUFF YOU TO MY STORAGE UNIT!!!!  ;)

Sounds like this is going to be fun. Can't wait to see the final photos. I know there is no chance you will come to Toronto....or is there?????

WHAT?  Charleston and Atlanta are equal distances away!

You have some explaining, Andrew.

Well, if you haven't been paying attention to facebook then you may not know the answer to this yet.... but I think Kathy may have been making some implications there....

THAT'S RIGHT!  I WON this battle.... lol.... now I just can't wait to see the photos!

Anthea - for the record, it was just a little joke - at least to my knowledge Kathy and I have never hard harsh words to or for each other....

btw, ladies, Andrew needs a new photo because as cute as he may look in his profile, he is smokin' hot in person.... (well now being married to an Italian for the past 22 yrs does give me a love for that dark hair, dark skin and dark eyes... but yeah, I'm sticking to my observations)

Too funny!  Congrats Melissa!  I'm sure the pictures will be fabulous and can't wait to see them.  As for Kathy, I wouldn't give up just yet.  Why can't he do pictures for you too?
