First of all, I want to thank Transformations own Sandra Millis of Southern Comfort Redesign and Staging and Mary Habres of Encore Home Staging. They jumped in at the last minute and filled a speaking slot at the Homebuyers Expo last Saturday. They spoke in the AM and I spoke at the PM Staging to Sell meeting. The audiences were quite enthusiastic.

 

The Florida Times-Union interviewed me for a staging article that coincided with the Expo. I will post it when it goes online.

 

Secondly, we are putting several new items on our product page within the next few weeks. DVD's and Power Point Presentations will gradually be made available to help you increase your knowledge in the field of staging and redesign. Some will offer partial credit towards certification. More about that later.

 

Thirdly, we are hosting another webinar next week from our insanely popular Power Point Presentation featuring some of our best photos from 4 years of classes. It is the same presentation from the Expo for those of you who could not attend.

 

It will be Thurs., the 15th of April at 1:00PM EDT. The call-in number and access code will be sent to all who make a reservation. E-mail your reservation request to becky@beckyharmon.comI hope you decide to join us. 

 

The May class was so outrageously fun. Each house we staged proved to be a challenge. Nevertheless, the results were astonishing.

 

Here are some pictures from one of our March make-overs and a testimony from a recent class.

Becky,

 

I can't thank you enough for bringing your class to my home.  As you could tell by my reaction, I was completely surprised and amazed.  We placed our home for sale shortly after the staging.  We received two offers within a week!  The re-design definitely opens the front rooms and shows off the architecture of our home.  The eating area in the kitchen is such a great idea, also, and I'm sure this helped in the sale of our home.

 

Thank you again !

Okay, it's truth time. Your friends won't tell you and your real estate agent wants to be the good guy. I'm the House Doctor, so here goes: if your home is more than 10 years old, it needs updating.
