This is the news you've been waiting for!!!  From a Realtor's lips, you'll want to comment on this blog post. 

http://activerain.com/blogsview/732480/Staging-helps-in-more-ways-than-just-selling-a-home

THIS is Peter Ciurczak, from Edison, New Jersey.  He is a Realtor who says that staging helps in more ways than just selling a home...WOW!  We like this!  He has noticed that sellers who come to his open houses talk about how nice the homes look and then he has the opportunity to tell them about his services, including home staging and he's getting more listings and making more money.  THIS is NEWS.  THIS is something you all have been wanting to hear from a Realtor, right?  SO, perhaps you want to take this blog and show it to your target Realtors.  The point is that there are many added benefits of staging that are as important as the actual staging as it relates to their client's satisfaction, their client's equity upon sale and the future of their marketing plan.  Stagers, go get'm.

What are you doing for "Home Staging Awareness Month"?

Hello fellow stagers,

I wanted to share what I have been up to so far this month for "Home Staging Awareness Month" and I would really like to hear what others have been doing if you would like to share.

So far this month, I have participated in a fundraiser for a very worthy cause with one of my realtors, I have participated in a local radio show to get the message out about home staging, I have staged a model home and have been given a key, so I have been directing all realtors I know and have met recently to view my work, I have participated in a tradeshow with my local Chamber of Commerce, and I have participated in an event/tradeshow at Scotiabank for a day of mortgage seminars, tradeshow, manicures and lunch for women realtors.  I have been having a great deal of fun.  I am also looking forward to two more Chamber events during the month and the Stage it Forward Round Table in Toronto later this month.  So what have all of you been up to.?

All I did was.... place the furniture properly, add artwork, chandelier and a floral

Via Michelle Finnamore CSP & Live Green, Live Smart Certified Trainer:

In this example, I would like to demonstrate the critical importance of furniture placement when selling a home.

On viewing listings on the MLS, buyers will not place your listing on their "Must See List" if your photos do not show the space and scale of a room properly. Placing the furniture in a way that is not a distraction to the room is a very important part of marketing a home.

The before and after photos show how well placed furniture actually makes the room look larger. And in Real Estate, we are always selling space and light. The two most sought after features in any property.

Now buyers can see how they could have their family and friends over for dinner and fabulous get togethers.

Investment, minimal.

Impact, priceless.
