You like me, you really like me! THANK YOU!

oops that's a different award. : ) If you know the origin of that comment, you can guess my age.

Truthfully it is my honor to have been nominated in the category of Staging Realtor of the YEAR 2007. Thanks Chris for the thank you blog while awaiting my return from Denver this past week. I didn't want anyone to think I was not surprised, honored and pleased that I won... Grateful for the validation from my peers, clients and friends.

First I have to say the company I keep is quite awesome.

Missy Caulk of Michigan, "I used to ask my clients to stage and now I make it mandatory" really gets it. I am honored to be in your category.

Pat Phelps of BC, Canada a Luxury Home Specialist and her toolbox of marketing strategies: having just returned from Denver from my Luxury Home Specialist Designation class, I can appreciate your dedication to your work.. Thanks for sharing the RESA stage.

Clara Rugnao, Triplets, the ultimate multi-tasker and epitome of a working mom. Thank you for giving me added energy and inspiration to do better as I get more sleep. It is a privilege to share the category with you.

Last, but not least, Susan Peters, Seattle, Thank YOU for sharing the category on the RESA stage, for sharing your moniker Staging Specialist, and just plain sharing as you do on AR and in your life and work. I am blessed to have been in this category with you and hope to meet in person some day to say how you inspire me to write my first blog and to be a better Realtor/Staging Specialist.

It is my honor and privilege to be among you all. I won just being nominated and am most grateful for the award. I will do my best to live up to it's meaning and hope to pass it on one of you next year.
