| Dear Agent, |
|
The spring has been blooming here in Charleston! The real estate market has been picking up a bit, or at least it seems to from our perspective. Every week we are getting calls and emails about a property that we've staged going under contract. Lately the DOM has been around 30! Here at First Impressions our goal is always to be a partner with you, the agent, to help get your client's properties SOLD! More agents are learning how we can help enhance your client services, produce better results and ultimately grow your business. If you haven't already checked us out, maybe it's time!

| Staging at Work in Charleston |

 Two weeks ago we sent out a supplemental newsletter with four properties that have recently gone under contract. If you missed that, you can view it here.
Today I would like to share two additional properties that have gone under contract since then. Notice the staged dated and sold dates. Both were approximately 30 days!
MLS# 2809263 65 Vanderhorst #G $328,000
- staged & listed 03/20/2008
- under contract 04/24/2008
MLS# 2811037 1407 Swamp Fox Lane $249,000
- staged and listed 04/03/2008
- under contract 05/02/2008
Just days from the publication of this newsletter we also received information on two more vacant properties under contract
MLS# 2802711 9108 Wildflower Way $212,900
- staged and listed 01/24/2008

| You've seen the results, so why aren't you doing it? |

There are many of you who receive our newsletters every month, read through the articles, look at the photos and even click and view the before & after real estate shows. Still we haven't heard from you. I can't help but wonder why.... Perhaps you think that we can't help YOUR listings. Perhaps you don't know what services we actually offer. Let's clear that up right here and now....
Vacant Home Staging - We will provide the furniture, artwork, rugs and accessories necessary to help your listing sell! We focus on the primary rooms to help save your clients money. Price quotes are free.
 
Owner Occupied Staging - We can help do the work to get the listing show ready. It's not all about decluttering. A fresh eye can help spark something entirely new. Hard to believe these are the same rooms. Which photo would attract buyers in MLS?
 
Owner Occupied Consultations - Don't know what your client needs? Hire us for a consultation. The rates are reasonable and your client will have enough information to take the guess work out, do they work themselves, or they can hire us! What about the dirty work? Yep, we'll do it for you.... Painting, wallpaper removal, etc.
 
We are here to prepare your listings. It's not too late, or too early to get your listings show ready....

| Thank you again lowcountry agents! You have helped us grow into the most recognized home staging company in the Charleston area. Now, let us help you.... See you next month! Sincerely, |
| Melissa Marro, Bevin Googer, and the Entire First Impressions Team |

Melissa Very impressive. Do you create the entire newsletter?
Fernando - I use Constant Contact for format, but yes, I create the entire newsletter. We also have a members option so that other stagers can use our articles to create their own local newsletters. Juliet Johnson, Marci Toliver, Sandi Gregory, Roberta Anderson and Donna Schoby are just a few of our members...... Here is what Juliet Johnson had to say about it...
<<I am a big fan of Melissa Marro's newsletter program. It has "bammed" my business into a much wider geographic area without painful cold calls to neighboring realty offices. The week the newsletter drops (to roughly 1,000 agents), I get a volley of calls, most of which have translated into profitable consulting, new contracts and enduring relationships. The focus on strong useful content, and the sleek, simple formula has earned me a loyal readership that is maturing nicely. My realtors and I now have conversations on a peer-to-peer level, such that as their stager I can truly operate as their marketing partner, not just another vendor. Melissa's program has literally changed my business. It is my only marketing activity beyond blogging; the ROI is sensational. It is the best value around!>>
