As stagers, we offer value to homeowners and realtors alike regardless of whether we find ourselves in a seller’s market or a buyer’s market. Both markets, however, present unique challenges. In a buyer’s market, homeowners are often hesitant to invest in staging because they are unsure if/when their home will sell and want to avoid the additional expense. In a seller’s market, Realtors often hear homeowners question the need for Staging as properties are “flying off the shelves!” Multiple offers, offers well above asking price, homes easily appraising for a neighborhood all-time high; these are just a few of the benefits Staging can provide during these times. Bobbie McGrath found her calling when she opened Successful Staging in 2004. With a focus on practical and effective Staging techniques, as well as approaching each project with a positive and empowering message, Bobbie has seen sustained growth in her business over the last 12 years. To date, she has Staged and/or consulted on well over 5,000 homes. In 2015 & 2016 Bobbie was named one of RESA’s Top Ten Occupied Stagers in the United States. She was also recognized as Best of HOUZZ for both Design and Customer Service in 2015 and 2016. In addition to running her Staging company, Bobbie has created a CE course for Realtors in North Carolina as well as a new series of classes for Realtors “down under” in Australia. Educating Realtors on how to incorporate Staging into their business plan has become a focus of her teaching endeavors and the results have been fantastic! 00:34:00Shell Brodnaxnobobbie mc grath,home staging,home stager,stager talk,shell brodnaxShell Brodnax Interviews Home Staging Expert Bobbie Mc Grathhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2016/10/11/growing-your-business-with-realtor-and-home-seller-workshopsReal Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2016/10/11/growing-your-business-with-realtor-and-home-seller-workshops/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2016/10/11/growing-your-business-with-realtor-and-home-seller-workshopsTue, 11 Oct 2016 17:00:00 GMTGrowing Your Business With Realtor And Home Seller WorkshopsThis class will advise students on what core workshops they can offer that will convert students to clients.

Shell and David will discuss David's session at the upcoming RESACON Vegas January 19-21, 2017. No one wants to be the low price leader, yet pricing yourself out of the market is also a risk. There are many approaches to pricing home staging projects with a variety of factors that must be considered. Occupied Homes, Vacant Homes, Rental Inventory, Stager Owned Inventory, Market Demand, using Employees or Independent Contractors, etc. This workshop will address various ways to price so attendees can apply the best method to their business model. The goal is to make sure each Stager is able to price their services so their expenses are covered and they are profitable. We’ll learn that it’s ok for pricing to be different for every Stager as there is not one pricing method that will work for every stager in every market. 00:31:00Shell Brodnaxnohome stager,david peterson,shell brodnax,stager talk,resaShell Brodnax interviews industry expert David Peterson Synergy Staging, one of Oregon's most respected real estate professionals.

The moment the words leave your mouth, you wish you could take them back. But what about those more subtle times, when upon later reflection, you realize might have been taken the wrong way? Have you ever considered how the words commonly used within the Staging industry might actually be holding you back? And timing…when and how do we approach sensitive subjects such as pets and odors? Words mean more than their definitions. Understanding the power of the choice of words to use AND the timing of these words could be well worth your time to explore. Join me as I share my techniques on when and how to bring up those delicate and difficult topics in a way that will make you heard, understood and sought after by Realtors and Homeowners alike! Words have power. Their power can be maximized if you understand the nuance of timing, as well. This class will teach you how to approach clients from a positive/empowering perspective that is appreciated by Realtors and Homeowners alike. If you find you are sometimes at a loss for words this is the class for you!   Connect SuccessfulStaging.com 00:31:00Shell Brodnaxnohome staging,home stager,bobbie mcgrath,shell brodna,shellbrodnaxBobbie McGrath Managing Difficult Clients – Its Not What You Say Its How You Sayhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2015/11/07/joanne-lenart-weary-and-sandra-racz-speaking-at-resacon2016Real Estatehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2015/11/07/joanne-lenart-weary-and-sandra-racz-speaking-at-resacon2016/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/stagertalk/2015/11/07/joanne-lenart-weary-and-sandra-racz-speaking-at-resacon2016Sat, 07 Nov 2015 13:30:00 GMTJoanne Lenart Weary and Sandra Racz Speaking at RESACON2016JoAnn Lenart-Weary The Power of Color – On a Space & In Your Business Face it, color is the root of everything when we decorate or stage a space. Beautiful sofa, check. Wonderful art, check. But mix it with colors that don’t appeal, uncheck everything you did right. Color is personal and powerful. The years of staging rooms devoid of color are gone…thank goodness but you need a deft hand to delight not detract. Join color expert, JoAnne Lenart-Weary for a look at how you can be a color hero, not a color zero. Connect TheJLWcompany.com Sandra Racz Decorating in the Zone for Selling and Dwelling Yes, we get it, staging is not decorating. BUT, you better have a strong understanding of solid design principles to make a room look fabulous. The placement of furniture, the sight lines in a space, the impact of line, shape and form can all impact not only the visual reaction to a space but also the emotional reaction.

The big picture is that with access to the Internet, a prospective homebuyer does not need to leave the comfort of their home to decide whether or not to see a property. This means the first showing of a property will most likely take place online. With over 90% of buyers shopping online first for everything, a home for sale needs to be ready for its online debut. Time-strapped homebuyers often make a decision right at their computer screen whether the house is worth getting in the car or plane to see. Great photos are one of the most important tools today’s seller has in getting their house seen and sold. There is never a second chance to make a first impression. Home staging and photography work in tandem for making the best first impression. Whether online through amazing photos or in person as the buyer walks up to the door, a staged home presents better online in photographs as well as in person.
