I'm excited to see RainCamp come to Dallas, TX February 16th!

tx: The staging was FREE!
- 09/09/09 04:42 AM
"The staging was FREE?", you ask unbelievably. Especially if you read my most recent blog. Yes, in some cases the staging can actually be free and we who are in the home staging industry know the value and ROI that staging a home can bring to the sale of a property. "Did you charge for your services?", would be a logical next question. Of course! this is a business endeavor after all. Home staging is a powerful marketing tool that can assist in the successful sale of a home. Staging is a MUST for selling a home in today's real estate climate. With powerful … (23 comments)

Yup. It's true. You can ham it up and network anywhere. Even outside of Honey Baked Ham Co. on Good Friday. Thinking I was going to beat the Saturday ham hogging crowd getting their Easter lunch on, I decided to pick up my favorite other white meat early. However, when I pulled up to my local Honey Baked Ham Co. on Preston and Plano Parkway in Plano, TX the line was snaking around nearly to Park Blvd! (that's a long line mind you). But figured what the heck? I allotted myself some time to get this done today and decided to wait it … (14 comments)

I first wrote this blog back in 2009 and the topic came up today at our Active Rain Meetup about selling homes & condition (naturally) so I went back to find this blog as the information is still relevant and applies even today. The Back Story 2009 : In the past 2 weeks I found out that a dear friend of mine and family are moving. I was, to say the least, shocked and quite saddened that one of my friends won't be close by.

I started thinking today about how great Active Rain has been for me both personally and professionally as I hope it's been for you or will be in the future.

Professionally, it's increased my business and my SEO as well as keeps me connected with other North Texas RE Pros in my … (9 comments)
