This morning Terrylynn Fisher, Diablo Realty and I had the pleasure of getting up bright and early to attend the Livermore Marketing Meeting as the guest of Amber Arias of Vision HomeStaging and Design.  Amber was asked to sit on a panel of experts for the marketing meeting to discuss the benefits of Professional Staging in today's market.

The event is held at the weekly marketing meeting at a restaurant in downtown Livermore. It was a lively group of Realtors and other industry professionals who meet once a week meet to discuss the current market conditions and to tour listings in the area.  There is always an educational segment to the meeting and this week it was on Staging.

Amber was one of three professionals on the panel, but the only one that has the title of Professional Stager.  Amber opened the discussion with a multitude of industry statistics that she learned recently from the Bay Area Expo and from the RESA website that she uses to educate her clients. The room was filled with people taking notes and making comments of her discussion points.

There was also an interior designer who works with home builders who made some very good points on working with a team and making sure that the home is in top presentation form and targeting to a specific market.

Amber did the entire industry proud and was busy talking to numerous Realtors after the meeting adjourned.  It's exciting to see how Amber continues to raise the bar of our industry. She is constantly honing her skills and abilities to meet the market and her client's needs.

Good job AMBER!
