Home Stagers...I have tried Real Estate Shows in NH and they are helping my home staging business. Click on this link if you'd like some more background information on home staging and Real Estate shows.

• Are the words "real estate show" turning you off? Home stagers can advertise with RES.
• Are you thinking the program sounds too hard? Definitely not hard; don't need special computer know-how.
  
• Worried you don't have the right camera? You don't need an expensive camera.
• Too time consuming? Once you understand how to create a show, they don't take much time.
  

• YOU choose the beautiful staged home photos that appear on your show
  

• YOU write the text that appears to serve your purpose of creating the show
  

• YOU can create a show that advertises your home staging business, your latest staging job, a customer testimonial.

• YOU can create a show that announces a Broker Open House & who professionally staged it

• YOU can email this show to anyone you want without paying for expensive brochures, and without constantly updating your website gallery.

• YOU can take pictures of your area and create a show to post on Localism at Active Rain.
  

• YOU can link your website to your Active Rain blog. This allows your website visitors to read your blogs and see the shows that you've put inside your blogs (like I've done here). **This is important, because you are updating your before & after picture gallery thru your real estate shows instead of constantly updating your website.

• FYI: Putting a link in your website that connects to Active Rain gives you 400-600 points and, more importantly, it provides fresh new content to your website every time you blog, which Google likes.

I staged a home last Friday in Hampton, NH. The next morning was the public Open House. I arrived early, primped the house, then snapped my staged photographs. (check it out, above show.)

A potential buyer arrived who was quite interested in the house, and whose wife could not attend. I mentioned that I could email his wife some pictures; would he like that? Oh, yes he would!

I went home, downloaded my pictures, and created a Real Estate Show. Then I emailed the show to the NH realtor and potential buyer.

The realtor was impressed and asked how I got such an awesome "virtual tour" from my little camera? "Well, I could come by your office and show you how I do this." Now we're getting somewhere! An opportunity to sit down with this realtor, get to know each other.

Thanks, Real Estate Shows.
