Oshawa, ON

I'm happy to see (or hear) that many Realtors are getting more and more interested in Home Staging. Many claim they just don't know enough about how it all works and how to present it to their clients.

Not wanting to leave it to the Agents to google a home stager in their area and give us a call I ask...

DEAR REALTOR, What is your preferred way for us to get in touch with you?

-Cold calling...after my one and only hang up - I decided to find another avenue (Thanks G.P)

-Open Houses...I liked this method and have gained a client from it, but can only hit them on Sundays in my area. Not great for reaching a large number of you.

-Blogging...Also have earned a client this way, but a little too passive for me and many Agents still do not actively blog in my area.

-Flyers in your mailboxes...have delivered hundreds

-Referals are always good, but again...Passive.

-Calling directly...Please tell me if I'm wrong here - But I don't feel right calling your office and having you paged.

So DEAR REALTOR...how can I reach you so that we can chat and I can show you how you could benefit from my services? Coffee is on me!

Check out his Oshawa For Sale By Owner home. It is located close to Lake Ontario, schools, parks and Highway 401. The  home has had extensive updating completed and deserves a look.

This FSBO property is located at 1386 Siimcoe Street South. See more photos and video at HomesByOwner.com.

Consultations can be a powerful tool when selling your property. I truly believe that every home that is going to be listed should have a Professional Home Stager in to do a consultation on the property. The difference will wow the Realtors, their Clients and the buyers.

All this was achieved in a weekend because of a savvy Pickering Realtor, a motivated home seller, a Professional Home Stager and the minimal cost of a Consultation.

I'm glad you enjoyed the photo's from Interior Design Show Part 1

So as promised here is Part 2...some of my fav's.

As you know, IDS 09 was held in Toronto

This is for Ms. Finnamore, she loves the Chair Source and I just love these GHOST CHAIRS.

Also from the Chair Source, this awesome Chrome Stool. Fell in love and sooo comfortable.

Isn't it beautiful? Price tag...a mere $599 (lol). Also, I just loved the flooring they used.

For the guys...the ultimate fitted garage complete with flat screen.

Love the white books.

How about this? Rustic meets bling...hmmmm

Jetson's ?

That's one commanding light.

This wall display spoke to me. Too bad it wasn't hyphenated "cre-a-tive" as in

cre-a-tive Staging & Redesign

Until next year!
