In this episode I talk with Orlando Reyes about websites and what you need to know before building one or updating one.

Orlando is the founder of Websites4Stagers, a website design, web hosting, maintenance and domain registration company servicing the home staging industry. Orlando received his home staging certification in 2013 from (HSR), the first staging training provider to be accredited by the Real Estate Staging Association.

Orlando’s background is in information technology and he also has a passion for design which, when coupled with his technology skills, is a perfect match for creating excellent websites for those in the home staging and design industries. Orlando has been able to use his skills and talents to help other home staging professionals with system implementations, processes and mentoring.

His enthusiasm for the home staging industry led him to start a local chapter of (RESA), RESA Broward Chapter, where he served as President -Elect in 2016 and Chapter President from late 2016 to 2018. He also recently served as RESA Florida State President where he facilitated the opening of 5 chapters in the state of Florida.

Orlando was voted one of the 2018 Top 100 Most Influential People in Real Estate Staging by RESA and the International Association of Home Staging Professional (IAHSP).
