I had an interesting conversation the other day with another home stager on the west coast. We were discussing Facebook, and more specifically, how I didn't have a clue on how many likes I had. I also don't know how many followers I have on Twitter. Or, how many people I have in my circles in Google +. Trust me, I understand the value of social media. I just don't measure my success based on my popularity.
Instead, I measure my success on how quickly I can help a seller get a contract on their home. As a result, I focus on all things related to the staging of the home. FYI - I'm no different than any other home stager. We all have the same goal, which is to help the seller secure a contract quickly.
So, the other morning, before heading out for my appointments, I posted this blog post on how we needed to prepare this Atlanta home for the market in time for a 3:00 p.m. showing. I was pleasantly surprised last night when I received a call from the investor who was calling to inform me that the potential buyers, who had viewed the home that day, have put a contract on the home for the full asking price.
Success indeed!
And the icing on the cake is the incredible and wonderful testimonial he sent to me.
We recently used Kathy's staging services for two renovations in East Atlanta. Both houses were under contract the same day we listed! They were staged beautifully and the supplied pictures were an added bonus. Its key for our business to have not only a beautiful constructed home but also that extra finishing step, with the help of Kathy, to get a fast sale. We will be using Kathy for all of our staging needs.
Thanks,

That, to me, is the definition of success! And because I can't possibly create a post without adding an image, here's an after picture of the home I'm referring to:
