Home Staging

Were you aware that home staging has become one of the best recession-proof businesses you can start today…

What exactly is Home Staging?
It’s the art of highlighting a home’s strengths, while down playing any weaknesses, in order to appeal to the widest possible number of prospects in the market. People buy homes for emotional reasons. They want to imagine being comfortable living there, they want to feel like the house has plenty of space, room to move around in and grow into. Home buyers perceive more value or equity in spacious houses. Buyers are willing to pay more for houses that feel and look like there is plenty of space and storage.

Do you just ‘know’ what goes with what in a home?
If you are a creative, decisive, multi-tasker who loves interior design, and enjoys other peoples homes, and you like the idea of working from home and creating your own schedule, home staging may be the perfect home based business.

A growth industry that is here to stay
The home staging industry has grown incredibly in recent times, and with the current conditions in the real estate market, home owners who want to sell quickly are calling on home stagers more than ever before. You’ll find there is a definite need for your services!

Staged homes typically sell for more money in a shorter time, so your services are a valued investment. And time is of the essence, people will happily pay you to assure them it’s okay to put a third of their belongings into storage to get a quicker sale! In fact, many people need you to determine which items are the third that need to be sent to storage, and to re-arrange their house so that it creates the best possible first impression for prospective purchasers. Not everyone has those skills, but if you do, you could get well paid for them.

A home staging business is a perfect home based business because the hours are flexible and you’ll most likely, be working close to home. This business gives you the freedom to work the hours you choose, to fit in with your lifestyle. Once your business is set up, you may actually find you work less hours and that you make more money than you expected to!

You can become a home stager and set up your business for $250 or less.

You don’t have to spend thousands of dollars on a home staging course, you don’t need a formal degree or to be a member of any special organization.

House staging is local, so your marketing efforts need to be targeted in your local area, so you’ll need to make the most of your local contacts.

It’s your business, you could elect to just stage homes, or you could just consult. A home stager can expect to be able to charge $100 an hour for consultations, and $250 per half day for staging homes.
