Originally I had scheduled an interview last week for today’s show but the guest canceled last minute. Karen Otto and Michelle Finnamore, both had been on the show before, both powerhouse stagers had stepped in to help when I reached out to them to see if they have any guest suggestions. So you’ll be hearing from Karen Otto today and Michelle Finnamore next week about occupied or some call the redesign home staging. Both Karen are Michelle are given and asked exact same questions (except follow-up questions based on the answers they gave). Both of them are in very different markets, so it’ll be interesting for you to hear how these two top home stagers in their markets approach occupied home staging and how their process may be different from each other.

For those of you who haven’t heard of Karen’s previous episode, Karen Otto’s love for all things “home” started when she was young and would rearrange her parent’s furniture when she got bored. She later found her niche in marketing and earned her degree at Florida International University in Miami, FL. In 2006 she cultivated her passion for “all things home and marketing” and channeled that energy into her company Home Star Staging, in Plano, TX. In that same year Karen earned her Accredited Staging Professional designation and is currently a RESA-Pro stager. In 2009 Karen became the Charter President of the RESA-Dallas Chapter served as the 2011-12 RESA-Texas State President and is currently the RESA’s Region 10 Vice President.
