I just wanted to share the comment from the Realtor who worked so hard for me on the situation with the hobby stager that I shared with A/R a week ago on a blog called Trial and Error http://www.activerain.com/blogsview/559860/Trial-and-Error-UpDATED .

If you may recall the homeowners were cutting corners and received five bids from Stagers and picked the lowest bid which was a hobby stager because of price. Then when the stager started to stage they were not happy and fired her and came back to me to do the job. 

We did the job this week.

Here is the comment from the wonderful Realtor Soraya.

"Kym you are phenominal!!! I had about 120 realtors through today at the brokers tour and they loved the house the staging - everything-- I gave your card to at least a dozen realtors that asked about you and raved about you!  The peones are beautiful - I gave them a fresh cut and more water - dont worry I use to own a flourist boutique so I knew what I was doing they needed a fresh cut to drink so they will look beautiful over the weekend...very impressive and fabulous choice of flowers -- very chic and different.  I am just loving it more and more our pictures came out great - I will forward them to you.  By the way one of the realtors Jon Lasky asked how much it was I told him around  $4k.  Anyway, I cant thank you enough it is so wonderful to have the home look sooo good you really did a fabulous job.

 Warm regards,

Soraya, Prudential, Berkeley

Wow - 120 agents through an open house... that would be near impossible here in Charleston.   I'm so impressed!  Of course I agree with you sticking to your guns.  You charge what you charge because you have the expertise behind you!

Connie & Tori & Melissa- 120 Realtors is nice, but a few weeks ago I did one down the street from this one and we got 400 Realtors  I swear!  we also had 200 people at the open house.  This area is still moving properties well.

The moral of the story is a good one :)
