Have you ever gone into someone’s home and just admired (maybe even resented) how clean and organized it is?
Have you ever watched Marie Kondo’s show on Netflix or read her book, "The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up” and wished she would just come over to your hot mess of a house and help YOU spark some joy for once?
How about this: have you ever walked into The Container Store and started day-dreaming right there in the middle of Aisle Two about how clean and organized your house could finally be if only you could just get your proverbial stuff together?
Well, if any of this sounds like you, just know you are not weird OR alone… because organization and spring cleaning are EXACTLY what my in-studio guest and lifelong friend, Jenna, and I are talking about on Episode 7 of Denise Petti: Real Talk with Big Red.

All the world’s a stage, that’s what Shakespeare said. You know what I say? I say, all the home’s a stage! Hey, ya gotta love the English language… it's the only place where one word can hold two entirely different meanings.
Or does it? Because when you think of setting the stage, you think of setting a mood, a theme, a tone, and an arrangement of elements by which the cast and crew can easily and swiftly navigate… that is a performance stage… a place on which to perform… the place a performer acts upon so that an audience may observe and applaud that performance.
This is the applied use of a stage in the arts… and staging a home takes its inspiration from the arts. It’s a creative exercise in form and function, practicality and expression, a place to showcase beauty and wonder, creativity and comfort, and it’s all the talk today on this, our sixth episode, of Real Talk with Big Red.

You know how Zillow is the go-to search engine for all things real estate? Well, do you ever wonder how this digital powerhouse is impacting the real estate market? The value of your home? Even the long-term career outlook and job security for real estate agents?
I mean, if everyone everywhere is looking at Zillow, then what does that mean for literally any and every other real estate app, real estate website, real estate company and real estate agent? Is Zillow’s iBuyer model rendering the real estate agent irrelevant? In this current technological age, it’s a question worth paying attention to… After all, attention is the name of the game when it comes to modern digital marketing, and we all know… whatever the eye follows is where you’ll find people watching… and wherever the people are is where all the data lives. So by definition and extension, is Zillow actually LESS about featuring homes and MORE about data mining?
PRESS PLAY on Ep. 5 “Heading into Spring Market and the Inside Scoop on Zillow” to learn how Zillow has adapted their digital platform and offerings, the pro’s and con’s of this adaptation for real estate agents and the industry, and whether Zillow's proprietary Zestimate is a figure you can count on for an accurate valuation of your home.
