Reach out to sellers. Write an article for the local newspaper. Advertise. Write a presentation on staging from the sellers point of view (yes, prove you are a knowledgeable pro by giving away the secret handshake). Find a charity auction and offer one free staging consultation (or even one free redecorating) as a prize. Rent a conference room at the local library, out up flyers and/or advertise, give the presentation. Decide how far it is practical for you to travel and reach out to agents (offer a presentation written from the agent's perspective as Veltri Homes suggests) and sellers within that radius. Have a website and tune it to come up high in Internet searches. Find Q&A sites (like this one) and display your knowledge by helping people who are lost.

In all things, stress that staging is part of planning to sell, not something tacked on at the very end the day before the photos are taken. I have occasionally been amazed at how much good we can do when we are part of the planning.

I've said it before but it bears repeating;
Painting
Landscaping
Flooring

Usually in that order unless the floors are really bad. Naturally all circumstances are unique but a fresh coat of paint is a low cost way to clean, brighten and modernize your investment.

I hope this isn't out of place, but do you know anyone working in the Eugene area doing home staging. I have an acquaintance that will be selling soon and asked me to put my ear to ground for someone who worked this area and would be reasonable for a light stage of an empty 2600sf house. Any referrals are appreciated.
