The power of Active Rain Networking,has allowed me to build many new friendships and has given me many business opportunities to build upon. Today, was certainly no exception!

Recently, my good friend Kat De Long, a special friend and associate from Active Rain, invited me to speak at one of her office meetings, at Windermere Fine Properties.  After speaking with her Office Broker, Glenn Tinturin, we lined up a day for me to come out and speak to the office about Professional Home Staging and the benefits it has to offer Real Estate agents and their clients. Well today was the day and was I ever happy to meet this great group of Professionals from Windermere Fine Properties, Lake Arrowhead, CA!

The morning started off with breakfast and coffee provided by Empire Home Staging Solutions, and then it was introduction time! I proceeded to explain, to all of the attentive Windermere Professionals, about the benefits of professional home staging and how it will benefit the realtors and especially their clients!    

                                                 We then had a Q&A session and all of the questions, let me know that these realtors were really receptive to the need for home staging in their market.  Justine and I were so pleased to have this opportunity to meet everyone from Kat De Long's office, and to find that many of them are member's right here on     Active Rain.      I am so  proud to associate myself,  with all of these fine Windermere professionals! What a great group! It was easy to see throughout today's meeting that Windermere, really cares about their employees and the clients and community they serve! 

                                                                                         

Today's meeting was possibly the beginning of great connections made here on the Rain...and only time will tell of the relationships we build, however of this I am certain,...that  for any real estate needs in the beautiful Lake Arrowhead area, I would highly recommend Windermere Fine Properties to anyone!  The knowledge and professionalism shown by these agents tells me that this group will handle any transaction with the utmost care and will always look out for the best interest of any seller or buyer.

Thanks Active Rain, for making great connections happen!

Another Active Rain success story from playing. Now aren't you glad that you didn't listen to your mother when she told you not to play in the Rain? LOL

Congratulations!

Michelle, sounds like a great connection.  Realtors do need to know more about staging and could use a professional's help.  Wish you were closer. The pastries look yum!

I am SO receptive to professional staging, but I'm not convinced I could get anyone to pay for it in this area.  For now, I'll keep reading and learning, and hoping to meet someone good in the Crofton area.  Thanks for your comment on my post!

Margaret-Educating your clients about home staging will be advantageous not only to your clients but to your business as well.  There are several different books out there and Real Estate training courses about home staging.  May I suggest stagedhomes.com as the best source for learning the latest in home staging statistics and what is happening within the home staging industry.  Wish I was closer to help you out in Cofton,but I am sure I can refer an ASP professional home stager that can service your area. Thanks for visiting!
