How could anyone interested in home staging stay away? The first StagersLIST.com Expo of 2009 will take place at Cort Furniture Rental in Winter Park, Florida on March 17 and 18. It will be two days packed with information on the staging industry and on running a staging business. What a great opportunity!

My partner, Susan Stevens, and I have the privilege of serving as the local coordinators of the Expo, so we've been getting a preview of the exciting things in store for stagers, realtors, and all the others who sign up and come.  On Day One, we'll be hearing from Terrylynn Fisher and Kym Hough from StagersLIST, as well as industry leaders Christine Rae and Shell Brodnax. Among other things, they will be discussing running a thriving staging business in a down economy, market trends, and demystifying the Realtor.

Day Two is Workshop Day. There will be practical training in business practices, including green marketing, web presence, portfolios, and understanding client behavior. Local expert Tabitha Miller will be there to discuss Feng Shui and home-selling. Come for one, or stay for them all - workshops can be purchased individually or as a package.

Go to www.StagersLISTExpo.com  to register. It's going to be a great event. Don't miss it!

Hello Laurie,

Sounds like fun! I'm sure you will have an awesome time. Well I guess after the stress of participating wears off! Expos are a wonderful way to socialize with your peers and to see what's current and popular in your field.

I once considered a career in interior decorating and I have a great appreciation for "staging". In my opinion a listing isn't completed unless it's staged to some extent.

All the best and ENJOY!

I am a licensed realtor in WI and own First Impressions Home Staging. I stage all my listings for free because I know how important de cluttering and re decorating are..Bravo and thank you for reminding everyone how important it is to stage a home for sale.

With the real estate market down, I wonder how you guys (gals) are doing?  Hopefully Laurie, you are still staying busy.  ;)

Staging is so important.  Walking into a messy home so turns off everyone.  Have fun.

Orlando is going to be great. It's the perfect time to get together as an industry and learn how to keep our business going and growing in this down economy.  Kym

Catherine - Thanks for your comment, and I'm positive we'll have fun!

Kym - Hi there! Great content, great people, how can it not be a great time? I'm getting more excited every day!

Hi, Janet - I'm sorry you can't make it for both days, but maybe you can come up for one of them. We have some great workshops on the 18th that would be well worth the trip. Check out wwww.StagersLISTExpo.com for all the details. In any case, have a nice day celebrating your husband's birthday!
