Comment on 5 Things Every REALTOR Should Know about Home Staging by Heather

Thanks for reading, Fiona. I probably should have mentioned that there are so, so many fantastic real estate agents out there and we’re fortunate to work with many great ones. It’s the ‘other’ ones that really get me fired up!

I agree. One of the best REALTORS® I ever worked with (in another city and before I became licensed) would introduce every client to a stager and pay for the first hour of a consult. It was brilliant and we used her to great effect. Great blog!

Sadly we do become so ‘busy’ with things we feel are important and miss the actual important stuff. Lesson learned. We’ve been thinking of you lots, Kaye.

Thanks Lee-Ann, I know Rikki has made major impact on so many people in so many different ways. She was one of a kind, that’s for sure, without a doubt! I’m so pleased to hear you’re doing so well; your baby is absolutely beautiful. Take good care of yourself

Thanks for reading, Dione. I know you feel the same way. Thanks for being such a great friend during one of the hardest times of our lives.

Well said Heather. I hated it that I had to facebook Jessi to let her know what had happened, I knew no other way to tell her. It has really hit a lot of people I know just how important it is to actually pick up the phone and CALL the people who mean a lot to you. I took Rikki and I friendship for granted, always thinking that I would see her soon. There’s always the next cake or the next meeting, there’s always tomorrow……NOT….I am kicking myself still for the lack of effort I put into touching base with her, and am very much saddened by the fact that I missed out on a lot of good times with her due to my so called busy life. The amount of times she invited me to campouts, and cakes….I made it to zero of them, until it was too late. I made it to her 5 year cake, but couldn’t hug her and tell her how proud of her I am.
The last time I saw Rikki we were at Boston Pizza the friday before the accident. She had me laughing so hard, actual real belly laughing….it had been so long since I had done that I wasn’t sure I was even capable of it. We started talking about a campout coming up next weekend and I mentioned how much I would love to go but wasn’t sure if we could do it. All she said was “Your coming, it has been decided!”. So now to honor her, and to make an important change in my life, I am going to the campout. We have our tickets already and a ferry ticket is on the way.
I didn’t get a chance to tell Rikki just how much she means to me. I loved her with all my heart. Any time I saw her I would get excited and filled with life, she inspired me. I am grateful for the times we did spend together, even if they were in dark times, we were able to bond like we never had before. I am grateful that she got to see me clean, to see me take cakes. I am grateful for the coing she gave me that reminds me that although I cannot control the wind (what life brings my way), I can adjust my sails and decide how I’m going to deal with what comes my way.
Although my heart aches, today I choose to be grateful. Today I choose to live my life like there are no more tomorrows. That is what Rikki did each and every day and if there is anyone who ever lived that I would want to follow it would be her <3
I love you Rikki-Ann Easton and I was and always will be so very proud of you, and so very grateful to have been priviledged enough to call you my friend

HK, you write so well. I sat here reading, smiling, crying and 100% agreeing with everything you’ve said.
Love you,

I got “Madame” for years in Montreal and no matter how often people explained it was polite, it never failed to grate on my nerves. These days it depends on what kind of day I’m having: Ma’am is still better than Sir!!!

Acutally, what I hear from time to time is the condesending “Dear”. “Can I help you with that dear?” by the Safeway bagging clerk. “Thank you dear” from the McDonald’s cashier when I pay her. THAT makes me feel like an old lady!!
But yes, ma’am is definitely something I’m hearing too much too!!
