Hi Tori,
Do you have any statistics on the tangible $$ value and time on market of staged  vs non-staged homes?

Costs, how paid and when. Pros and cons and why. Price ranges recommend for staging. Simple but effective examples of staging at work.

Maybe an explanation of the various types of staging, from using the clients own things, to bringing in just a bit to fully furnished.  Sometimes people assume all or nothing.

Terry, unless you are a former TV or radio news person, I'd get more coaching about how to act and speak and dress in front of a camera/microphone.  There is a lot of really awful video that is so bad in presentation that people miss the great content.

Virtual staging is something a few people have inquired about and might help motivate them to consider staging, all other things being equal.

For some reason people think they have to remodel their whole house when in fact, it's just some paint & furniture removal. Let's face it - some people don't know how to decorate or they've bought a couch that's too large for a room & just live with it.

You can do it EZ.

I hope it turns out well & you allow us to share it.
