As part of their commitment to providing clients with excellent results,
the team attended the RESA convention titled, “What Happens in Vegas Stays
in Vegas, but what you learn goes home with you”. RESA is a worldwide
member-governed trade association for professional real estate stagers. Real
estate staging is the process of preparing a home for sale by creating
immediate buyer appeal.. Professional designers, home stagers and real
estate agents assembled for the three day event with industry specialists .
"It was inspiring to come together as a unified group of business owners
with different backgrounds and experiences who are all committed to raising
the bar in our industry. It is important for us at TSD to continue to set
the standards for our industry, community and clients in the Triangle" said
Kurelich
Featured speakers of the event included Matthew Finlason from HGTV's The
Stagers, Bethany Souza from HGTV”S Designed to Sell and renowned business
authors David Anvrin and Dan Eason. “The RESA conference was a great
opportunity to meet other professionals who are dedicated to helping sellers
increase the value of their homes. Continuing education is an important part
of our business model and helps distinguish us from our competition. As a
growing company we are always looking for ways to improve. RESA is an
internationally recognized leader in the home staging industry and we are
proud to be a part of this professional organization” said Varney.
According to recent statistics published by the International Association
of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP) another trade organization the firm
TSD belongs to, staged homes sell an average of 83.7% faster than non-staged
homes. For those looking to stage their property for a quick sale, add some

Design is the premiere resource in the Triangle area. They offer an
extensive inventory of fine furnishings, quality artwork and trend-setting
accessories to create a warm and gracious home within any budget. Their team
of professionals can provide affordable and distinctive staging and design
solutions for local homes and businesses.
