Home Staging Services Don’t All Have To Be Done By The Stager

Home Staging Services Don’t All Have To Be Done By The Stager

Home stagers often need to either provide or recommend outside services, in addition to doing the actual rearranging of furniture.

The most common of these services needed in home staging include: Sourcing and selecting rental furniture/art/accessories, purchasing accessories (bedding, towels, decorative items, flowers), painting, handyman-type repairs, gathering packing supplies, finding storage facilities, junk removal, landscaping and cleaning (interior, windows, carpets, exterior).

I personally don’t do any heavy lifting or sorting through clutter. I choose paint colors but I don’t do the painting. All stagers do things differently but I built my service list when I started my staging business so I would only offer home staging services I would enjoy doing. However, I have also learned out how to form alliances with trusted contractors offering those other services I knew I’d need to recommend to my clients.

Have you figured out where all these home staging services will come from in your business yet? If not, working on your list of trusted contractors is a great activity to do during slow periods, as it will help increase your business over time. Start jotting down names of service providers you’ve used in the past and find out who your friends and family members recommend as well. Remember, the people you recommend are going to be a reflection of you as a professional home stager, so only choose the best contractors to refer your clients to.

Many home staging projects have to be done under VERY tight time lines. Knowing who you can call for help before you need it will significantly reduce your own stress level when you’re trying to get a house picture-perfect in record time.

While it may not seem exciting to track these resources down, it should be a priority.

Help me name my moms business - I think Infinity Cleaning Services sounds better than Elite Cleaning Solutions... Why the Solutions? What is there to be solved? You simply get a rag with some Windex on it and wipe away.... plug the vacuum and Vac Away, get a mop and mop away. Stick to Infinity Cleaning Services... ICS sounds cool...
Re: Trade Shows - Are They Worth It? - HI, I have used trade shows (not participated) to collect potential clients. For example, the Home & Garden Industry is extremely behind the time in regards to their websites. I attended an Home & Garden Expo in Denver and collected all the companies contact information. I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need. Jeff
