A person asked me if I do holiday staging?  
 
 

I know this is a simple question,  but I think it deserves a little explanation that Staging is NOT Decorating.  Decorating is personal.  Some people already  have Christmas lights up.  I saw my neighbors house down the street lit up with Christmas lights just now.  I don't know if  they are just testing the lights or the Christmas Decorating frenzy has begun in earnest.

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.
