Century 21 Arizona-Foothills Realtor, Jonathan Dalton, and Festival resident, Calie Waterhouse recently met  at the Southwest Blogging Conference.  He has asked Calie  to contribute a blog or two about home staging to his Phoenix Arizona Real Estate blog.  

Now that the first one is done, I’m excited to show it off and share it with you.  I would also like to remind you that I would be honored to contribute a home staging article to your real estate blog, as well. 

Hope you not only enjoy the blog, but also find it of value. Be sure to leave a comment.

Here it is:

Stage Your Home To Sell: The Basics of Staging

If yes, then consider posting your listing here on the Festival & Celebration blog.

While driving through the community, I see quite a few For Sale signs  and over the weekend I saw a few “Open House” signs.  It is in the best interest of all of us for these houses to sell quickly and for the highest amount.

Let’s help them out.    Post your listing here!

(P.S.  you can also post a ppt slideshow of the property)
