Hi Karen ~ You're one of the few professional home stagers here on AR who continue to offer a community-college level course on home staging that's open to both homeowners or Realtors.  Your dedication to educating consumers about the home staging industry is admirable and you're an excellent role model for the rest of us!  Good luck with your upcoming course  -- your students are lucky to have you :-)

Hi Maureen, thank you so much for your encouragement and support, I very much appreciate it and YOU!  Education is still so lacking in so many parts of the country and I find that an educated client is the best kind!  I've been fortunate to get my class re-scheduled each year for the past 4 years now.  I am hopeful that in 2013 the class will be able to provide MCE hours for Realtors which will encourage more to attend.  I really enjoy the class and my students and to me they become like messengers for the staging industry once they get it!

Karen-That course is a great service. Home owners get the benefit of professional advice maybe months before they will really need to implement which should lessen the trauma of getting ready. Unless they procrastinate on things like me.

Hi Wayne! Exactly!! I'd like home sellers to understand what needs to be done even before they may be thinking of selling a home. there is often alot that is overlooked when it comes time to sell so doing some things well before you plan to sell is so key for today's market.
