Joan Inglis : Home Stager in Charlotte, NC

My home staging chapter - Charlotte IAHSP Regional Chaper - exhibited at the North Carolina Association of REALTORS® Expo in Charlotte, NC Oct. 5-8. We had a comfy seating area in our booth and had our chapter PowerPoint presentation scrolling continuously. The PPt with all the "before & after" pictures grabbed people's attention and provided excellent information about home staging and about our chapter. It was a great 3 days.
