After reading Craig’s blog about his motivation in creating Stage It Forward I was moved to come out of the shadows.
Shortly after the first of the year I was a frustrated stager whose “business” had been operating for a few months with some success but lots of down time. I had run out of marketing ideas, I was losing my enthusiasm and about to give up when I googled “home staging blog” and found myself in the middle of a blog by Craig with links to AR and a whole community of stagers.
I was amazed and thrilled and excited but wary also because the staging blogs I had visited before had turned out to be vehicles for recruiting people to training companies. But the more I read the more I realized that there were real stagers from across the US and Canada from all backgrounds willing to help one another with good will, great information and humor.
The encouragement you all sent to the brave souls who blogged I soaked up too. It encouraged me to get out there and keep trying and now business is picking up, agents are excited about staging and they are spreading the word and I’m doing something I love—staging.
To Craig for starting this group and all of you who share your successes and failures and lots of advice—a big thank you and keep Staging It Forward!
