Real Estate Staging Association Dallas Chapter Joins Forces

with DFW Metroplex Realtors to Support Local Women Shelters

"Home stagers and real estate agents work as a team toward the common goal of getting homes sold.  It's a natural fit for RESA Dallas to combine efforts with Realtors to give back to the community," Karen Eubank, RESA Dallas President and owner of Eubank Staging, said.  "March marks the beginning of the spring real estate market.  Homeowners are preparing to sell, some are re-designing and everyone has that spring-cleaning fever! This is a perfect opportunity for our clients and the community at large to support two wonderful organizations." 

For 25 years, Genesis Women's Shelter of greater Dallas has provided victims of domestic violence safety, shelter, and strength through crisis intervention, as well as free and confidential counseling to over 25,000 women and children.

SafeHaven of Tarrant County (SHTC)  is one of the largest shelters for women and children in Texas with facilities in Arlington and Fort Worth.  SHTC's mission is to end domestic violence through safety, support, prevention, social change, and to help women achieve independence and self-sufficiency.    

"Home staging is a female dominated industry and supporting women is important to us," Stefanie Levine, RESA Dallas Publicity Chair and President of Niptuck Home Staging & Re-Design of Mansfield, said. "This month it's all about enhancing the lives and homes of women and children coming out of crisis situations." 

The following real estate agencies have partnered with RESA Dallas to accept donations from the real estate community and residents:  Keller Williams Realty, Dallas City Center (1811 Greenville Ave; Suite 100, Dallas, TX 75206  phone: 214-515-9888), RE/MAX Dallas Suburbs (4032 McDermott Rd.; Suite 100, Plano, TX 75024 phone: 972-208-9200),  Ebby Halliday Preston Center Office, "The Little White House", (5999 W. Northwest Hwy, Dallas, TX 75225  phone: 214-210-1500), RE/MAX Pinnacle Group Realtors,  (1241 W. Green Oaks Blvd, Arlington, TX 76013  phone:817-460-3900), CENTURY 21 Judge Fite Company, Mansfield (1380 N.

Karen - what a great partnership for stagers and Realtors in the DFW area!  Thanks for posting because even if we're not in TX it gives the rest of us some wonderful ideas on how we can join forces to help others in our own communities.
