RESA CEO is interviewing the winners from the 2022 Home Staging Industry Awards for Stager Talk. She will be talking to them about their accolades, how they started in the industry + more!

This week she spoke with Successful Staging with Bobbie McGrath, former RESA National Board member and the 2022 RESA® Approved Instructor of the Year™ about pricing, how the "Staging to Sell, What Every Agent Should Know" Class changed her business + a new class she is launching.

Listen to the full episode right here.

Since launching her award winning staging company in 2004, Successful Staging, Bobbie McGrath has staged and/or consulted on over 8,000 properties. Since the first day in her business, Bobbie has focused on educating everyone on the distinct marketing advantage staging provides. She has sought any tool or technique which would allow her to better convey these advantages to sellers, Realtors, and fellow stagers. Her resulting communication techniques have led to presenting at the RESA International Conference, speaking and training Realtors and Home Stagers in Australia, Canada, China and the U.S. She has also been a repeat featured guest on many top rated home staging podcasts.  Being named numerous times as one of the “Top Ten Home Stagers of the Year – Occupied, USA™” and “Most Influential” by her peers, Bobbie has created the “2019 RESA Most Innovative Product or Service of the Year” the Occupied Consultation Specialist® course. OCS students report feeling “more confident” and “empowered”” once they complete her course. Home sellers use words such as “great communicator,” “positive,” and “magical” when describing their experience when experiencing her time tested techniques.  Bobbie McGrath’s focus on the occupied side of the business has allowed stagers in both small towns and large cities to partner with Realtors who understand the unmistakable marketing advantage staging brings to the table. In fact, RESA’s 2019 Real Estate Agent of the year, Lee Goldstein, insists that each and every one of clients meet with Bobbie as an integral part of his highly effective marketing plan. RESA’s 2021 Real Estate Agent of the year, Sonya May, collaborates with Bobbie for each of her listings which has led to her being named one of the top producers within Cary, NC. Creating strong agent connections and attention to detail has been a hallmark of her business for years!
