What do staging and lawyering have in common? For most people, not a whole heck of a lot. But for me, lawyering was inextricably linked with my staging. Before getting into staging, I was a lawyer. For a variety of reasons, things were changing in my life (not the least of which was the planning of a move from California to Colorado!), and I decided to switch gears for a while and try staging. I loved it, as many of you know from my previous posts on AR. Well, things have changed again, and I'm now in Colorado, back to lawyering. But I can't and won't leave behind the staging part of my life.
If you don't know it yet, you will soon: stagers, real estate agents and small business owners encounter legal issues nearly every single working day. Because of my background, while I was staging I was constantly aware of these issues, and I hope to now shift the focus of my blog from the day-to-day nuts and bolts of staging to the day-to-day nuts and bolts of legal issues stagers and other real estate professionals may encounter.
Some of the issues I hope to cover include things like:
- Why do I need a staging contract?
- What do I need in my staging contract?
- What kind of insurance do I need? (I need insurance??!!??)
- What are resources out there for starting a new business?
- What are some of the things I need to consider in starting a new business?
- Worst case scenarios - how do I avoid them?
- And many, many more . . .
So, this doesn't mean I won't still rant and rave occasionally about the latest and greatest design trend or sale, but hopefully my blog will help at least one or two of you out there struggling with some of the dilemmas you're encountering with your business.
