Jumping on the Campaign Trail

By
Home Stager with Independent

Well first of all I must say what a great honor it was to see someone nominated me for the 2007 RESA Professional Stager of the Year!  I am nominated with a wonderful group of people whom I look up to and have had a lot of fun getting to know over my last year here on AR! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are some of my philosophies when it comes to Staging.

1. I have a no-nonsense approach to Home Staging.  I don't believe in recommending things unless they are absolutely necessary.  I try to keep costs down for my clients and keep it simple.

2. I believe in continuing education and have attended many seminars the past year on staging, color (colour), business and design.

3. I feel the best when I can pay it forward and help out other stagers.  I love assisting new stagers get off on the right foot with their businesses and hope to do more mentoring in 2008 and beyond

4. I have worked very hard over the last year on the Television Show HouseCapades getting homes ready for the their filimngs.  I am a Lead Stager with them.  

5. I was awarded the 2007 HouseCapades Preferred Stager of the Year and the award for Highest Selling to Asking price for one of the houses I assisted on.

6. I am a member of the Canadian Staging Professionals(TM) and The Real Estate Staging Association where I hold the position of Ontario-President and Durham Region Chapter President.

Thanks Ladies,

I usually take some decorating/design courses at community colleges but I have also taken seminars through QC Design School.  They are in Canada although I do believe that they run some seminars throughout the US>

Congratulations on your nomination!  I love what you wrote too... it is always good to learn new things about those we feel like we know online as is.  I've never heard of the show you mentioned, probably because it is Canadian, but it seems like you do a great job for them!  Congrats again!
