What is staging? Why should you stage? When should you stage? How can you get your seller to pay for staging? Will it really help your sellers move their house quickly?
You’ll get the answers to these questions and a lot more on Tuesday at the North Dallas/ Park Cities Realtor meeting. If you are a new Realtor, MetroTex hosts free meetings throughout Dallas each month to help Realtors connect, learn from industry partners, and keep up with the latest trends. This is one you don’t want to miss.

This panel of stagers have all been in business for decades, own warehouses of inventory, and bring a massive amount of value to every home they stage. This is a rare opportunity to be in a room with three seasoned staging professionals at one time.
George Bass was born in California, spent time in Texas and Mexico, and was educated in Switzerland before moving to Dallas two decades ago.
