Everything is Great in 2008 -- Home Staging by Amie

By
Home Stager with Home Staging by Amie

Hello and Happy New Year to All

My name is Amie Hebert Chaney, founder of Home Staging by Amie. My husband, Paul Chaney, is a blogging expert (seriously, he has written a book on blogging) and has convinced me to jump on the blogging band wagon.

Home Staging by Amie was created in order that I may share my gifts and talents with all who find themselves in need of my services.  Home Staging is a relatively new concept in the south with educating being a large part of what I do. Once agents and homeowners are aware of the differences staging can make, they completely "get it" and want to know when we can get started.

Please feel free to visit my wesite at www.homestagingbyamie.com Shortly, my newsletters and other information about Home Staging by Amie will be posted on my Active Rain blog. I look forward to hearing from other stagers and real estate professionals.

Hey baby. I'm so proud of you, not only for taking the big step of starting your own home staging business, but for becoming a blogger as well. I'll be sure and let everyone know about your blog. You'll be amazed at the amount of encouragement you'll receive. I heart you very, very much!

I was also forced to make a comment by your considerably less valuable other half. :) I asked Paul last year why you weren't blogging, so I'm very happy to see you here. Welcome!

Thanks to each of you for your well wishes and encouragement.  My husband Paul rocks  -- I'm so glad you all agree.

 

Sallie -- Thanks for the compliment about my KW seminar.  It was a pleasure to meet all of you -- I have been doing some work in Baton Rouge as a result of the seminar and look forward to seeing you all again soon.  I have made myself available to speak with agents but didn't realize how much I would actually enjoy it!

Lisa -- We are staging in the New Orleans area if you find youself in need.  I have a partnership with Brent Cordell.  The company is Custom Home Staging -- We provide rental furniture and accessories for vacant or new construction listings.  I also work with owners who are still living in their homes.  The last home we staged in Mandeville sold after the second person looked at it.  Staging does get results.

Amie, thank goodness!  I haven't been able to find anyone in the NOLA area that I've felt comfortable with.  I interviewed one realtor/stager who had mostly stock photos in her portfolio and I hated the photos of actual spaces she had done herself.  I'm adding you as an associate...you are bound to hear from me soon!

Lisa -- That would be great -- There is such a need in your area.  Please do visit my website at www.homestagingbyamie.com There are before and after photos there.  I also have others in my portfolio that have not yet been posted to the site. 

Take Care
