Home staging is fairly new practice in the real estate industry, the art and science has only been around for about 5 years. Staging has become more popular with help from home improvement channels such as HGTV. Real estate staging is anything that helps a home seller make their home more attractive and appealing to potential buyers. Just as a person who is selling their car would have their car detailed, a home owner would "detail" their home to help in the selling process. In good staging, the best features of the house are maximized, and the worst are minimized. It forces a seller to think like a buyer. Professional stagers are highly skilled artists. They can take a blank canvas and paint a sensuous portrait without ever lifting a paint brush. Stagers possess the skills of a top-level designer and they create dramatic scenery that appeals to all five senses. No matter if you're selling your home in  Fishers, Carmel, Westfield or Noblesville, Indiana you can contact The Evelo Team and we can refer you to the top home staging experts in your area.

'Twas the night before closing, when all through the house

The boxes were packed, but computer and mouse

The SOLD sign was hung in the front yard with care

In hopes that our payoff soon would be there!

The children were nestled all snug in their beds

While visions of moving day danced in their heads!

And Mom in her nightshirt and I in my shorts

Had just settled down to watch us some sports!

When out on the lawn, there arose such a clatter

I dropped the remote to see what was the matter!

Down the hallway I flew and flipped on the light

Swung open the door and gasped in delight!

When what to my wondering eyes should appear

But The Evelo Team full of good cheer!

When I chose these professionals, they were the best pick

I knew all along the sale would be quick!

More listings than most, more closings by far

Hoping you experienced a Merry Christmas...

May you all experience a joyous and wonderous 2010!

Sincerely,  The Evelo Team 2009

Real Estate Market Leaders Reunite Behind Industry’s Leading Educational Provider

Under new management, and with the support of the top-producing agents in North America, StarPower continues its 20-year tradition of elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry.

Fishers, IN - December 14, 2009 – StarPower, the number-one brand in real estate education, announced a transition of leadership to Alex Charfen, a leading trainer, author, coach, speaker and StarPower Star. The announcement was made at Star Advance, the organization’s annual leadership meeting at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Las Vegas in Henderson, Nevada.

“StarPower will remain the most relevant, recognized leader in real estate education,” Charfen said. “With the dedicated involvement of our StarPower Stars, the contributions to the advancement of the real estate industry and our success as an organization are assured.”

Founded by industry icon Howard Brinton, StarPower is an organization focused on elevating the standard of care in the real estate industry. Each month a new StarPower Star is selected based upon achievements in sales, leadership, business acumen and a willingness to share the lessons of their success with others. This has helped StarPower Stars typically average more than $35 million in annual sales volume and more than 200 transactions per year. Less than 300 real estate agents have achieved the distinction of StarPower Star, making it the most exclusive designation in the industry.

After news of the transition was presented at Star Advance, StarPower Stars Stephanie & Derek Evelo of Keller Williams Realty announced support of the new management and strategic direction of the StarPower brand.

“I couldn’t be more excited to be a part of the future of StarPower, and to increase our positive impact upon the real estate community,” Evelo said.

“In the current economic climate, I have the opportunity to make a real difference in the personal and professional lives of countless real estate professionals,” Evelo added. “As a StarPower Star and leader in my market, there is a responsibility to share the lessons of my success with others. In this way, StarPower Stars are actively improving the industry we have chosen to be a part of.”

On a monthly basis, StarPower Club members receive the strategies, tools, insights and perspectives that have helped StarPower Stars realize success. The StarPower Annual Conference, one of the best-attended conferences in the industry each year, will continue its presence on the real estate calendar. Details on the conference will be announced in the near future, Charfen said.
