Athena Brownson is a REALTOR®, home staging expert, former X Games athlete, and apparently someone who has enough stories to keep us talking all day.

We talk about what staging really means, why sellers don't always see their homes the way buyers do, and how AI is giving agents some surprisingly useful tools for preparing a property without spending a fortune. You're going to want to hear this.

‍

Key takeaways to listen for

• Why good staging isn't about making a house look expensive
• How AI can help agents show sellers what's possible with the home they already have
• What Athena learned from her years as a professional athlete
• Why emotional attachment can make preparing a home for sale difficult
• How agents can find good staging and design professionals in their own markets
