What is "virtual home staging," you ask? Well, after just hearing about this staging method myself, I just had to find out! Hey, I'm a computer savvy chick...I wanted in on VIRTUAL Staging! So, after some research, I found two different definitions: 1) A service in which a home stager provides recommendations based on photos and other details provided by the homeowner or real estate agent. Translation: The home seller or Realtor® sends photos via email to the virtual home stager, who then makes recommendations … (6 comments)
delaware: Inexpensive Home Staging...
- 05/19/08 10:14 AM
I recently received a phone call from a realtor for whom I had Staged, at that point, 8 vacant listings. It began as usual, I met him at the property, took photos, emailed him the estimate, then waited. About a week later, I received a voice mail message from him mumbling something about "tried a different stager and, well... ummm, she wasn't so good...could you please come and fix it..."

HI TO ALL - Here it is...Sunday...the day to rest...yeah, right! More like the day of Open Houses and Thunderstorms!

- 05/15/08 04:05 PM
Well...tomorrow is the Board of Realtors golf outing and they are calling for rain...I have a canopy for my table, perhaps that will lure the Realtors over to imbibe in the liquor plying. Believe me, my Staging Quotes look much cuter after a coupla stiff ones...(At least I've been told that's how it works...........) I'll let you know how that goes...you know, the liquor plying as a marketing tool. Worked in the 50's...maybe it'll come back into vogue...camel filterless anyone? Ahhhh...those were the days.... Have more stagings on the roster for next week....2 single family vacants...been doing more and more vacants recently...and … (0 comments)
