Last Year I wrote a post called Raise Your Hand If You've Never Worked With A Stager (then asked you to please tell me why) 

It got a lot of attention, and some surprising answers. Roughly one third of you who responded had never worked with a Home Stager simply because there wasn't one near them. Living here, in the NYC-Metro area where there is at least one of everything in easy reach I was stunned: What do you mean, there wasn't one near you?? So I have been developing this program since,

A Remote Consult is like any other specialized service-first, it's not for everyone. And it's not to be confused with Virtual Decorating/Staging (which I have a passing familiarity with, but dislike it intensely nonetheless). Remote Consults are basically my connecting with you-getting to know you and devising solutions for your space and your stuff, without being physically there.

Using photos or video you provides, we simply 'walk' through your room(s) online, discussing in as much detail as you'd like how to treat the space, and why-on the phone, or via SKYPE. You end up not just with ideas, but a solid understanding of how to look at your space, and situation.

My style has always been collaborative, so it's not a stretch. Window treatments can be designed, paint colors selected (with free samples ordered to confirm), and artwork can be re-positioned. We can also create floor plans, wrestle with questions like re-upholster or replace, and peruse furniture websites for shopping, or to develop your eye so you can shop and make your own best decisions...in your time, at your local stores

As with my 'regular' Decorating and Home Staging clients-there'd need to be a good fit. Before we book an appointment, we speak about how you see it working (the project and the relationship), and what you want to achieve.

Best-suited for DIYers, it's a choice that could appeal to many: an easy alternative for the extremely time-challenged, a reasonable option for the thrifty or distant, and a low-risk commitment for the cautious. And for everyone-another way to help make decisions, so you can get on with your life!

Roger! Up bright and early on Day-23? ANYWAY-it's been a new and different way to help people get things done, mostly people who don't have a lot of options, or don't like the ones they have.

Again, not for everyone, but some scenarios: begining, online shopping (Sofas 101) for a mother with young children-she couldn't easily get out/maneuver with them in stores, recently divorced man with odd work hours and not a lot of money, realtor heirs selling their mom's estate house,

I defnitely think it is a very interesting idea and one that may make people feel more comfortable or open who are "against" the idea.

Marie, great to see you develop this service...I know it has been in the works for a while.  Also wanted to let you know that I recommend you and your service as part of my service to a new listing.  However, sending them the link to this post might work out better.

Sounds like a great service.  I like that you specifically say there needs to be a good fit.  No reason to waste your time or theirs!
