We are so fortunate to be doing what we love!  We help homeowners and Realtors achieve success in the sale of their property.  We are the soft voice of moderation as we help a homeowner let go of their collections and decor.  Many times misunderstandings may arise when an agent asks the homeowner to "pack up their stuff!"  The agent is not mocking the homeowner or their taste.  The agent is being pragmatic  in helping the homeowner prepare their property for sale.  As a Stager, my job is to create a property that has universal appeal, while at the same time honoring the homeowner.      The Staging of this property was very simple.  Several steps were required in this staging.  The agent was aware that the property would have to be cleaned and decluttered.  The homeowner did all the clea... 05/13/2007
