That is crazy amazing... That is a night and day difference!
I have to agree with your point about the before and after pictures - they lose credibility when they are taken from different angles.
Craig - I loved the slideshow - your work is beautiful. I especially liked seeing some of the smaller occupied homes that you did using the clients existing furnishings. You are the man!
This is a great point if the Stager does the work from consultation through pick up of props.
But some of us have found a great niche in consultations. We don't see the out come of the thrifty homeowners work. We do between 3-6 consultationsa day now and are growing.(that's why the absents from AR lately:) and for those who want to do the work off our DIY blue print we proved them to save money we don't see the end product to take pictures, only a thank you call from the Realtors we work with or the homeowners.
I believe Staging has many levels or at least the Stager has, depending on what is working well for them.

Craig,
Thanks for the post. Nothing like having someone on board, who delivers every time!
Hi Craig! Love the slideshow...and excellent blog as always.
There are many, many stagers out there that I want to call up and say, can I help you with your website. You'd make so much more money if you had a website that reflected the beauty of your work. Ugh!
All the best,
Beth
I agree, I have spent a lot of money marketing my company "image" from the business cards, website, marketing materials, rack cards and the info on my car. It all tells a story and looks professional and from the comments I receive from clients and realtors, it has worked.
Kathy,
When ever I post you are MORE then welcome to clean up my act.

Great post, really enjoyed the layout of your slide show. :)
Your slide show is awesome.. and I love the home color scheme! You really have a great sense of design and I enjoy reading your blog.
Gosh... I'm blown away. Wow! How did you do the slide show? Can you A/R contact e-mail me because I might forget to come back here and check for your response later in the week. Exceptional writing. Strong points. Thank you.
Great design - but it's the great photography that shows if off so well.
Scanning through your blog, reading a little here and a little there...
Love this post.
What a wonderful way to show your talent.
Great photos.
Craig ~ You couldn't be more correct. Pictures express a 1000 words. If a home stager and/or Realtor can take a picture - hire a professional. Your pictures are top notch.
Thanks for continually raising the bar for our work, Craig.
