I finished the staging job for this unit. The new agent hasn't been hired yet. The old agent still has her lockbox and business cards in the home. Because of this I forwarded my before and after photos to her...

The agent replied back with great surprise about the changes, asking cost etc. Then she went one step beyond and forwarded the photos to all of agents in the office. I have already heard from one of the other agents in the office.
This is about turning bad situations into great ones. How can you turn a loss into a gain?

Wow, you did a fantastic job staging that room and turning the situation to your advantage. Kudos to you!
Thanks! I find that in almost every situation that is going poorly there is an option to change it to my advantage. In this case, it was more education... let the agent know what I really offered! In turn she updated all of other agents in the office!
This particular office is a tricky one to get any face time in anyway. The area is a bit 'exclusive', if you don't live on the island, you don't get your foot in the door. I don't live on the island! Through awesome service and attention to detail, I did get into a meeting once. Appartently that was not enough education however. I'll keep plugging away....
