Staging Myth ........

A popular staging myth is that home staging is simply decorating; staging for sale does require decorating abilities, a detailed eye, plus a whole different set of skills, knowledge, and abilities.  We must remember that when you are decorating or designing a space for living it revolves around the style, color and preferences of the person living in that space.  When you are preparing a home for a future buyer you don't know who that is.  If you take one look on MLS listings the misconception is obvious.  

When you work with me as your staging professional, I not only bring my skills, knowledge, and abilities to work for you.  I also bring facts and strategies for sale.

Remember this, where ever the eyes rest, the sale begins, and when you work with me I know the strategies to use so the eyes stop where they are supposed to!

The Picasso Principle

During the later years of his life, Pablo Picasso used to frequent many street side cafes, where he would idly sketch passer-bys, seeking inspiration for his next great work. One day a woman who excitedly recognized the great artist and approached him. Taking advantage of the opportunity fate had bestowed upon her, she boldly asked the great master if he would consider sketching her. Picasso agreed, and in a matter of moments she was presented her very own, signed Picasso sketch. Being grateful, she of course offered to pay for the sketch and asked Picasso how much he would charge. His reply was 5,000 francs. Shocked, she exclaimed, "5,000 francs!, but it only took you a few moments!" Picasso responded, "No Madame, it has taken my entire life."

The Moral of the Story: When you're passionate about what you do, you bring forth everything in your entire life's experiences, with you.
