Recently I was interviewed for an article in Hudson Valley Magazine. The article is entitled

What’s Your House Worth Now?

By Karen Maserjian Shan


 

The article focuses on housing trends in the Hudson Valley and how to complete a successful real estate transaction.  

 

I was honored to be quoted in the article and hopefully this will bring some much needed awareness to staging in Rockland County and the surrounding areas in the Hudson Valley.  Here is an excerpt from the article: 

 

Set the Stage for Success

Maureen Henry, of Rockland Home Staging shows home owners how to present their houses in the best possible light. Doing so, she says, draws serious buyers willing to pay top dollar. “The goal of staging is to make the home shine,” she says.  Read on...

 

The before and after photo included in the magazine is not published online.  They before and after they chose to include is of the bedroom below:

You did a wonderful job of attacking the "nitty-gritty"  All the things that we know, but consumers need to hear over again.  WOW!  you didn't miss a beat!  You are a great marketer, for sure!

Hey Karen - Thanks it is still all about getting the word out up here.  It still surprises me how many people have never heard of home staging. 

Jennifer - So far I have gotten one call from it already!

Maureen, Terrific. I was a big fan of the mag when we lived in Orange County. I hope you get a lot of business form the  publicity. Your work is fabulous. Are you the only stager mentioned??

Marci - Right back at ya.

Bevin - I was pleasantly surprised.

Ginger - I was the only stager mentioned so that was good, but they did not give out my contact info so that was a bummer.

Hey Guys - I spend  lot of time educating the public.  I do library programs, seminars for realtors and a 3 hour continuing ed class for realtors.  It is a lot of work but I found that advertising home staging when no one knows what it is doesn't really help.  

The other day someone asked me if the term Home Stager was a new euphemism for housewife.  You just can't make this stuff up.  :)

Maureen-

Your work represents the staging industry so well. Congrats-  just that one bedroom transformation says so much about the good investment of staging.

Hi Maureen - Congratulations on the interview, and I hope that it not only raises awareness about Home Staging in general, but generates business specifically for you.  Just based upon your commitment to AR it is quite obvious that you are extremely hard-working, devoted to your profession, and enjoy what you do.  I cannot believe that someone actually thought Home Stager was a new name for a Housewife.  Kind of scary.
