Intro
Hello All,
I wanted to drop a quick line here to say hi. I just joined BP as an Accredited Stager Professional and interior decorator.
I'm very excited to join and looking forward to networking with you all :)
Thank you,
Mary Barsoum

Hi Joe,
I'm not sure if it's surprising, but staging to sell is totally different than decorating. Home owners and clients don't necessarily agree with the stager's approach or style. You guys hire us and trust us :)
