Jackson manager named staging professional

Carmen Shadron has recently been awarded the designation of accredited staging professional at Realty Executives of Cape County. Shadron, the Jackson office manager for Realty Executives, completed a detailed course and passed an examination on preparing homes for sale. "Homes that are staged, or prepared for sale, by an accredited staging professional look better than other homes on the market," said Bill Cole, broker/owner of Realty Executives of Cape County. "When you see the before and after photos, it's easy to see why staged homes typically sell more quickly and/or for more money than comparably priced homes."
