When most small business owners are looking for advice they usually do not turn to their local competition; but that is exactly what I did last month when I needed some help with upcoming staging jobs. The reason I felt comfortable contacting another local stager is that she had called me a few months before to help her with a difficult client- I had actually lost the staging job to her but was willing to talk to her about since I knew how hard it was to face these issues alone.
Today I can happily say that I now talk to this stager about business a few times a day because she is no longer my competition!
Last week Jane Hagy of No Place Like Home Staging in Wayne PA and fellow member of Stage-it-Forward joined our team as a Senior Staging Associate. I am thrilled and honored to be working alongside Jane because she understands and respects the special relationship we have with our clients. Jane brings two years of staging experience to Hart & Associates and her business background includes over 10 years managing marketing programs for the Donald Trump organization.
Jane is a wonderfully talented stager and has an understanding and respect for each client's needs. Already she has proven her dedication to our team- yesterday we staged 2 homes in a record 7 hours!
Please join me in welcoming Jane to Hart & Associates Staging and Design!

Congratulations Kate and Jane! How exciting for both of you. I had the pleasure of working with a fellow stager on a large re-design project and it was a great learning experience and fun too! We are hoping to work together in the future!
Kate~ We spoke several weeks ago and I am glad to see things are working out all the way around. I know when we spoke you had a dozen or so staging coming up, so Jane is really going to be busy!
