REALTOR® Magazine - My Latest Article: What To Look For When Choosing a Home Stager

By
Home Stager with Dezigner Digz

 

Last year I wrote an article for my Active Rain blog that provided information on things to look for when choosing a Home Stager to work with.  It actually got featured on AR at the time.  It's such an important topic, that I felt it was time for the subject to be addressed again.  That's why recently, I submitted the article to REALTOR® Magazine for their blog Styled, Staged & Sold.  

You can read the article here: What To Look For When Choosing a Home Stager.  I hope you find it helpful if you're thinking about adding the services of a Home Stager to your marketing program.  If you're a consumer, you'll find it of assistance too.

Excellent article Charlene. Congrats.

I wish more Realtors would interview Stagers to find the one that suits their selling style.

Janice - Me too.  When employees are looking for a new job, it's a given that they will be interviewed.  It should really be the same when a Realtor is considering bringing a Home Stager on board.  They need to make sure that the Stager will be a good fit with their business plan and present well to their clients among other things.

Heather - Thank you!  I'm actually one of their Bloggers, so I submit an article to them approximately once a month to be included on their site.  Christine Rae and Barb Schwarz are also Bloggers for them.  It's so humbling for little old me to be on their blog with two top heavy-weights of the industry :-)

David - Thanks!  It is a very important topic.  You're very lucky that you don't have to worry about this as a Realtor since you just happen to also be a professional Home Stager - one I might add, that does outstanding work.  A win-win combination!
