FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have recently completed continuing education in my field with an instructor/owner of a large staging and design firm in Raleigh, NC. I enjoy getting different perspectives in my field. I read many articles related to staging. Since I am also a realtor, I incorporate this service in my listings free of charge. I have recently began virtual staging, and am currently researching the possibility of adding it to my portfolio of services.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
When I began in real estate, I was introduced to the field. I already had a great interest in design, color, and decorating, so this was a natural progression for me. I continually read articles and preview model homes to get ideas for staging.
- What types of customers have you worked with?
Because I am also a realtor, I often get asked to provide consultations to potential sellers prior to listing their home for sale. I also offer suggestions and assist with de-cluttering and redesigning of occupied homes. I have done vacant home staging, which I am now also incorporating some virtual staging in to make the on-line presence even more beautiful.4
