Getting the Word Out -- Part I - Oct 04 03:05 PM
Taking Making Time to Network
One of the first things one notices when deciding to make a career of Home Staging is that the entire industry is in its infancy. Many Home Staging businesses are also in the start up phase. With that in mind it occurred to me that Home Stagers therefore must find ways to not only connect with our potential clients but also to educate them concerning the benefits we bring ...

Home Staging – HGTV -- This Real Estate Agent is After My Own Heart! - May 23 08:50 AM
Not long ago, after doing a bit of internet research I came upon a real estate agent (in my neck of the woods)
who seemed to have her act together. I hadn’t had the pleasure of meeting her so I took the initiative of picking up the phone and introducing myself. We had a pleasant and brief conversation in which we agreed to look at ways we could be of assistance to one another.

Prescott Welcomes the Citrus Valley Playhouse - Jul 12 02:10 AM
Arizona Activerainers should come to Prescott this summer to cool down (hey, it's only 103 here!) and experience old time radio with the Citrus Valley Playhouse. I ran into show creator, writer and host Brian Nissen at my Realty 2000 Prescott Main Branch Office aka Cupper's Coffee House:
