real estate: Real Estate Home Staging is More than Mowing the Grass.
- 04/08/10 07:56 AM
Each of the last three days, I have gotten a phone call asking me if my company needed someone to mow the grass. Each time, I think hey wait a minute, I had my grassed mowed last week, the next door neighbor just mowed their grass and then there's the other neighbor that seems to always need their grass mowed. Why aren't these grass mowers calling them instead? Then it dawned on me. My real estate staging advertising dollars are at work. In the business and service section of the local newspaper, Abilene Reporter News, my staging business "STAGE IT" is … (0 comments)

real estate: Stage To Lease!
- 07/18/09 05:05 PM
When life hands you lemons, make lemon aide, is common folk wisdom. Despite marketing hype to the contrary which often advises folks to stop making a landlord rich and buy instead of renting. Unfortunately, I am not getting rich from people paying me rent.

real estate: The Use of Art in Homestaging
- 05/19/09 05:43 AM
ART IS A POWERFUL COMMUNICATOR. AS A beginning stager I didn't tackle using art in the home. This was because I didn't have many art pieces suitable for home staging and was investing in other staging inventory. Another reason is that I did not appreciate how art solves many home staging gaps, balances out furniture placement, and creates interesting pops of style and creates mood, drama and appeal. Now, that I am a little older and wiser or at least older, smile, I am starting to acquire an inventory of home staging art.
My Blog is about my real estate career of buying, selling, leasing, managing properties, and home
staging. I can help anyone in Abilene, Texas to buy or sell or manage properties or stage properties.
My passion is staging because it is the premier marketing strategy to get to "SOLD" in the shortest amount of time. Staging a home leads to more showings which leads to more offers.
Staging is part of my marketing plan for selling and leasing. I stage for other Realtors and homeowners. I stage both vacant and occupied properties. I do model homes and model apts. Big or small, I stage them all.
iT'S THE DIFFERENCE between night and day in this apt between vacant and NOW STAGED.
