Craig Schiller Opening Doors ... Guest Blogger for Homescape

 

Craig SchillerWhile reading through my Google alerts earlier today,  I came across this announcement that our own, Craig Schiller, owner of Real Estaging in Chicago, IL, has been tapped to be a guest blogger on Homescape's consumer  focused blog - Opening Doors.   Craig is known to be

"one of the most widely read staging bloggers on the Internet"

WOW - now that's a title for a business card!   In case you've missed out, you can read some of Craig's posts here and here and here.  Craig has also received nationwide recognition on  television (NBC, ABC, USA TODAY, CBS, FOX) just to name a few.

 You know what's really exciting about all of this?  We knew Craig was destined for greatness from the first time we read his post here on Active Rain.  We knew Craig when he was just starting out in the industry ... and honestly, over the years - we still know Craig.  And we know that this recognition is well deserved.  Agree?

That's just so wonderful! Maybe one day I will become a "most widely read staging blogger" too ;)

Cheers,

Calie! It is so good to see you here again! We have missed, missed, missed you. You are so wise and so needed here. Now I'm excited! Oh yeah, about the blog -- the information you provide is cool to. It is nice that we will be able to say, "I knew him when. . ." And, yes, you are right his recognition is well deserved. Welcome home Calie!

Doreen - So, I guess "hard work pays" ...  Perhaps something I should do more of.

Gina - We should mention that Craig was on your radio show, as well.  Just more proof ...

Yvonne - You sound like I've returned from (shall we say....) a long vacation?!?   Almost made me cry "hearing" your voice welcoming me home ... I haven't been gone from A/R that long.  Have I?

Yes, too long. Have you cleaned out your mailbox? Everything I send your way lately gets bumped out.

Calie... you surely have been missed. How are you my friend???? What a nice tribute to Craig.  I always knew that he had big things ahead of him. He is such a great person, a true innovator, and whole heartedly wants to move this industry forward. Would love to hear from you sometime.. hugs. Lori.

Calie - good to see you.  The most profound thing you said here was "We knew Craig when he was just starting out in the industry ... and honestly, over the years - we still know Craig."  The point IS that what you see is what you get, nothing phoney, nothing insincere, nothing to hide.  When you are true to yourself and put yourself out there honestly and with a good heart, good things happen and your friends know it's because you are you.  Great post.  Good for Craig.

Calie, Linda and I absolutely agree.  Craig has been a powerful voice for our industry.  His messages are always unique, always gripping, always clearly focused on the proverbial Golden Staging ring for us all.  How do you give back to someone that has given so much of them selves?
Posted by Gary Barnett Home Matters, Home Stagers, Indianapolis (Home Matters) about 1 year ago

Calie,

THANK YOU so much for this. I have been wanting to blog about it but I have not had the time.  I do love this industry and I am glad I can do what I can to "Stage It Forward",

I miss your smile...
