One of the projects I have been working on this week is a lovely home in Summerville, SC. It has been on the market for 1 1/2 yrs! The agents husband is the builder and well.... they are a little frustrated in the current market. They contacted me last week to see if I could help. We staged it this week & next week they begin a hard marketing campaign.... Their push will not be for open houses to see the home, but to see the staging.
You see, while agents have been learning a lot about staging from my monthly newsletters, many of them haven't seen the homes in person. Needless to say I think this is a GREAT IDEA! Get agents in to see the staging & viola, they will see the home too!

Super details, with lovely touches. I confess to being impressed by the person who was able the vaccuum the carpet into those patterns though - made it look like a very high end piece! <gr>
