  What an amazing learning and eye opening experience it was. I have to give this home staging EXPO a two thumbs up! The organizers, Terrylyn Fisher, Kym Hough and Chris Fisher outdid themselves with this so informative seminar.  They are touring the country and I have to tell you if they are in your area it is a MUST to be present!

   It was a real learning experience!!! I have gathered enough information to help my business move up to the next level.  Kym Hough shared with us how to survive during a down economy...and she was faboolous!!  These women are very energetic and that energy is so contagious, the exciting vibe is contagious.

  What a treat was to meet Shell Brodnax, CEO & founder of RESA , this lady is a river of knowledge, and she is helping our Industry grow in giant steps...Thank You Shell FOR ALL YOU DO!!!

 

   Melissa Marro, what a delight to meet her and Bevin Googer. They drove down from South Carolina and shared with us their success. I have been a big fan of Melissa since I joined AR.  She is a river of knowledge and what makes her succeed is that she shares it with everyone.  Thank you ladies

   Then in the afternoon the group of PROS sat for an open discussion and open the floor to questions. This was very valuable to hear the different opinion of the pros!

   Someone that I have wanted to meet since I joined AR was Nora Marek from Melbourne ,Fla.  It was great talking to her for a while . She had a stgaing going on and her assistant kept calling her and she had to leave. Nice to meet you Nora !!  I didnt get to say goodbye so...SAYA...NORA  !!!

Last but not least ...I learn as a child you never go anywhere empty handed!!!

 So I brought Palm Beach Cup Cakes for everyone to try !

Thanks for the great blog about what a great time you had there!  I wish we had more opportunity to hang out.  You left so quickly and already had other commitments for the next day.  Bummer!  Still it was finally nice to meet you after already feeling like a friend in the rain!

Oh, and those cupcakes sure were yummy!!  Thanks so much!

Fernando, You are the best! The expo was great, and your pics are great. I highly recommend to all Stagers to attend one of these seminars. I have been doing this for a number of years, but there was so much more I learned. Some great speakers and some GREAT attendees!!

I wish I could've been there Fernando!  It sounds like you learned a lot and got to meet a lot of your rainer friends.   The LA Expo was cancelled :( as I was SO excited about going.  Maybe I'll have to take a road trip...

Hola Fernando, sorry I missed the expo.  One of my kitties had serious surgery the day we were at Universal and I can't leave him for more than a couple hours.  It was great to play with you and the other Active Rainers.  Hopefully we can meet up again!

Fernando - Thanks for the wonderful review.  It was so great to meet you in person!  Thanks again for the delicious Palm Beach Cupcakes, what a treat!  Rhiannon was raving about them later that night at the house.

Fernando, thanks for posting about the Florida StagersList Expo.  I was wondering how it went.  It must have been great meeting everyone from Active Rain.  I can't wait until they come to Toronto.  I just wish that Melissa was coming with them.  Your cupcakes look amazing and I couldn't help but notice that there were even a few shamrocks on the table in honour of St. Patrick's Day - so cool.  I sure hope WE get to meet some day!

Just finished a staging and I am beat but finally have a chance to sit down and begin to catch up on my week in Orlando.  One of my favorite moments was meeting you and Antonio!!! You both are fantastic and pure joy to hang out with and talk about staging and a multitude of other things.  I just wished we all lived closer together.  What an energetic and positive group! I am came home exhausted and energized at the same time.

Come visit us soon in SF.  Homer, Petey, Tootise and our newest member Dexter would love to hang with you and ANTONIO!!

Bring cupcakes YUMMY. xoxo Kym

Yes, the Staging Expo was great - I learned so many new ways of approaching this business, PLUS got to meet and greet with lots of other stagers.  It was a great time, good food (yummy cupcakes, thanks!) but best of all were the speakers and their inside knowledge of the staging business.  So looking forward to the next Expo!
