Louisiana Participates in the Stage It Forward Round Table Lafayette - Stagers from all around Louisiana came together for first-ever gathering of Stagers across all affililiations and designations. The group of five women met at Cort Furniture on Johnston Street for a three and a half hour discussion about Louisiana's Real Estate Staging Industry.
Some of the topics covered included the benefits of the major staging associations, such as RESA, ASHSR, and IRIS. Industry standards were also discussed, along with building alliances with Real Estate Agents who are aware of the statistical monetary benefits of staging for their client's properties. One of the most interesting topics was the alliance of stagers on a local and statewide level to raise awareness and educate the real estate industry as a whole about the dedication, talent and professionalism that Louisiana Stagers consistently offer to home sellers and Real Estate Agents throughout the state.
The attendees were Michelle Molinari, President of Acadiana RESA and Lead Virtual Designer For www.CurbAppealForDummies.com, Carol Hebert-Harper of "Feature This... Real Estate Staging"in Abbeville, Freelance Stager Barbara Guillot of Lafayette, Sheri Morgan, owner of Ace of Space Redesign in Baton Rouge, and Karen Hebert-Price of Yours Truly Designs in Abbeville.
Cort Furniture was kind to offer their fabulous showroom and attentive staff, and PODS Storage of Baton Rouge catered a delicious Mexican luncheon from Coyote Blues.
Stage It Forward is a proactive Staging Group on Active Rain, a community of Real Estate Professionals dedicated to their industries, and working in alliance with others in their fields.
This Stage IT Forward Round Table Event is the first of it's kind, and these Louisiana Stagers were proud to participate in this unprecedented North American gathering taking place all over the U.S. and Canada this month of November, which is HOME STAGING AWARENESS MONTH.
