Welcome to episode #86 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. In this episode I talk with Cathy Lee Cibelli of C.L. Home Staging Services in the Bay area of California. Cathy Lee has built a lucrative staging business by being active in her community. She shares how being involved has benefitted her both professionally and personally and how “giving back” feels really good, a “win, win”.

In this episode you will learn:

Where Cathy Lee gets most of her business and how being involved in her Real Estate community has been a blessing both professionally and personally

Why Cathy Lee doesn’t do cold calls or visit open houses and what she does instead

What Cathy Lee provides her Real Estate Agents to help them promote her

How Cathy Lee has structured her staging offerings so that she leverages her time best and only does the types of jobs that she enjoys the most
