home staging companies: WEEK 2 - Reviewing the Real Estate Home Staging Shows - MN Home Stagers Take - 12/03/07 02:17 PM
For those of you that missed Reviewing the Real Estate Home Staging Shows - Beth Patnode's Take
This week's review is of the Real Estate Home Staging is about "Designed to Sell".
This particular show focuses on fixing up and renovation a home that is about to go on the market. The designer is given $2000 to make the renovations.
Overall, the ideas are right on, but the pricing is not realistic whatsoever.  Hopefully if homeowners are watching this show, they realize that the $2000 they spend on the show does not include all of the labor (and most of the tasks they do require lots … (13 comments)

home staging companies: What a bunch of GARBAGE...from a Professional Home Stager! - 11/25/07 03:45 PM
 
For those of you that have been Professional Home Stagers for some time - or even if you are newbies or non-home staging readers...I have some news for you!
We all gather A LOT OF GARBAGE in this business - and throughout life in general.
Thankfully there are ways to minimize the amount of garbage we accumulate.  Please allow me to give you some of my friendly tips to do that: 
1) When purchasing new inventory or items for a Staging or Redesign client, take notice to the packaging of the product. If there is a lot of cardboard, styrofoam or plastic involved, see if the store … (32 comments)

home staging companies: Showing your THANKS around Thanksgiving! - 11/16/07 02:57 AM
Thank goodness it's Friday!
I have a zillion things running thru my head and a to-do list a mile long.  I am SOOOO looking forward to a weekend of friends, family time and Turkey!!!  Each year we celebrate Thanksgiving the weekend PRIOR to Turkey Day so that it's isn't such a struggle of deciding which family to join or rushed visits with both sides. Have to say it was a brilliant idea and one we have done for years.
This is what usually happens around the house after we all stuff ourselves with Turkey...

home staging companies: UPDATE - Oprah's coverage! - 11/01/07 11:22 AM
To get back to all of you who were wondering when the Oprah episode would air that I discussed in:
UPDATE!!! Did Beth make it on OPRAH???
http://activerain.com/blogsview/211358/YOU-CAN-PREVENT-THIS
Below is the link to the episode that aired:
This is the incredible woman who has Melanoma and was selected for the skin cancer segment of the show.  It really was a must see episode for so many people...and so many different reasons. Hopefully it eases concerns for those who are in need of a colon, breast or skin cancer check up. You really must take care of yourself and get checked.

home staging companies: Home Staging and Realtor Tax Tips! - 10/19/07 01:59 AM
 
Are you a Realtor or Home Staging Designer in need of a good tax advisor? Boy...do I have help for you!!!!
I actually used this company when I was with Secret Service as the majority of Secret Service agents across the country used them for their stellar customer service and ability to go above and beyond for their clients.  Many of their accountants are former IRS agents so they really know their stuff.  Each year before tax season, they send you a VERY detailed list (much better than I've seen some others send out) of all items that could be tax deductible for your particular business.  We all know about … (19 comments)

home staging companies: Home Stager's find for great ARTWORK! - 10/18/07 09:55 PM
 
Not sure how many of you are familiar with this company, but think they have some really neat products and in not much time can really transform the look of a boring room.  I'm referring to UPPERCASE Living.  Here is an excerpt from their web site with the kind of products and a couple of samples of what they offer:
"We offer hundreds of pre-designed catalog expressions as well as the option to custom design any expression you would like. These expressions can be placed easily and seamlessly on your walls or any other smooth surface. Witty phrases, spiritual quotes, meaningful sayings … (23 comments)

home staging companies: THE UPDATE!!! Did She make it on OPRAH??? - 10/09/07 11:20 AM
UPDATED INFO BELOW!!!!
So my previous blog had you all wondering and guessing exactly which topic Beth might be on for? Well, to give you an idea, you must first read this blog as it was the ENTIRE reason I even considered being a guest and I wanted to warn others.
http://activerain.com/blogsview/211358/YOU-CAN-PREVENT-THIS
 
I'm not going to lie, there was a split second that I hesitated about being a guest on the Oprah show for this topic. Why you ask?  Two very stupid reasons really:
1) Essentially I would be telling people how careless I was while growing up since I used tanning beds often … (59 comments)

home staging companies: Paying it Forward while Staging your Home... - 10/04/07 01:44 PM
Betty Haney, a fellow Home Stager, was actually responding to one of my blogs about tips we can use to help our clients keep a somewhat neat and tidy home while it's listed and when the clients have children: Home STAGERS SAVIOR for those clients with Kids!  
Her response (and my right back at ya below) prompted me to think...hey! What else CAN WE ALL be doing to pay it forward to those less fortunate than us while listing our homes. 
 
This is what I suggested (and already do in my own home). See my responses to Betty:

Actually Betty, you bring up another EXCELLENT point and something … (25 comments)

home staging companies: HOME STAGERS love BASKETS AND BINS! - 10/04/07 11:38 AM
 
So...we've all had em'. Those Staging Consultations with a family that has TONS of toys, books, supplies, games, puzzlies, the list goes on and on. You somehow have to tactfully tell the family that the kids toys that are toppling into the walkways need to go.
Exactly HOW DOES one market their home, keep it clean and tidy in this day and age where listings need to looks postless for showings?
The ANSWER:  BASKETS, STORAGE BINS, BASKETS, BUCKETS AND MORE BASKETS!!!! 
               
  
 
So most of you are already aware of these useful tools that have been so popularized in the last … (16 comments)

home staging companies: Get 'em BEFORE they are gone!!!! - 10/04/07 10:35 AM
Having gone thru this spell of noxiousness (See Are YOU wearing yours??? CAUTION **PHOTOS NOT FOR YOUNG CHILDREN***    for more details on why), I am reminded just how good it is to ALWAYS have FREEZY POPS (aka FREEZIES or what some call FLA-VOR ICE available in the house.
Those little tasty treats get you rehydrated in no time and taste SOOOO good!  I honestly can't say I've met a person who doesn't like them.
The only problem is...you typically can't find them in the winter.
So...Beth's word of advice for the day. Stop at your local Sam's club and pick up your … (11 comments)

home staging companies: Stagers turning Photographers too? - 09/29/07 07:42 PM
 
So our friend Craig and others have had some great blogs on making sure you pictures portray the true beauty in a home since so many buyers are finding the listings they want to see on the Internet themselves.
It seems that some Realtors missed that blog and either are too swamped or busy, or simply haven't hited the right folks to take great pictures for them.  I'm continually shocked at some of the photos I see out on MLS. this is a tough market and everything in regards to a listing needs to SHINE and I really mean OUTSHINE!

home staging companies: Are you a MOM - or do you HAVE one??? - 09/28/07 07:40 AM
 
Ok, this is definetly going in the humor category but since it's a Friday...it should be quite fitting.
Hopefully it doesn't get pushed off AR because it truly is very telling of what most Mom's have to go thru each day.  I'm thinking I need to make one for Home Stagers and Realtors...very cute!
