Home Staging as a Business

January 26th, 2009

If you are gifted with an eye for design but you don’t have the money to start your own business, or you do not have the required degree to facilitate a career in designing, you might want to start a Home Staging business instead. Home Staging is close to interior designing except that stagers design homes so that they will be sold easily. The main goal of stagers is to improve the chances of a home to be bought quickly by making the home presentable inside and out.

Starting a Home Staging business will not require you a lot of money to start-up. You may have to spend sufficient funds for your initial materials but rest assured that you will make more money than you spend. You can then use your first Home Staging pay for subsequent staging jobs. You can either charge by the hour or per day; it is all up to you. You are in control of how much you earn from a project plus, you control your own time as well.

Home Staging Courses

January 4th, 2009

I keep getting asked why Home Staging and Home Staging Courses are in such hot demand recently and the answer is easy - BAD ECONOMY!

Houses are much harder to sell now than they were in the crazy days that existed 4 years ago and the market has been flooded with huge numbers of foreclosed homes leaving us with a simple situation of more supply and less demand.

Houses are just like everything else in the world — they sell better when they look better and do you think those banks and mortgage companies that are becoming owners of all those foreclosed homes are sending one of their vice-presidents out to clean up and put rental furniture in those homes to make them presentable for sale? Of course not but they’re more than happy to pay a Home Stager a few hundred dollars to take care of that for them.

I see no end to this trend as even if/when the foreclosure market should dry up the industry has still learned that spiffing up and window dressing a home makes it sell faster and at a better price.
