Slowing Economy a Boon for Home Staging Entrepreneurs
Slowing Economy a Boon for Home Staging Entrepreneurs
1) The slowing economy means a lot of people's financial situations are changing and they will no longer be able to afford their mortgage. Sellers in this market will quickly realize that when their own home hits the real estate market, it will have a lot of competition. Home Staging is the special ingredient that gets buyers excited about a home. The vast majority of homes are not decorated for sale, so they show poorly. But as more people understand that a staged house helps it stand out from the crowd by appealing to home buyers on an emotional level, they will realize they need to invest in staging if they want to sell quickly and for top dollar.
2) We'll see more and more real estate agents recommending that their clients stage their homes. Again, with so many nice houses available for a good price, agents will see their profits squeezed as prices continue to decline. So, just like homeowners, they will need to do everything possible to make their listings stand out from the crowd. Staging ensures a home puts its best foot forward to buyers. Agents that don't already know the benefits of staging will learn very quickly in this market.
3) Home staging also has the merit of being a low cost business to start and run. You don't have the high overhead that other service or retail businesses may have, and many Home Stagers work from home. Remember, you're going to your client's home, they aren't coming to yours. So don't think you need to spend extra money to perfect your own house before you can become a Home Stager. As long as you project a professional attitude and have an efficient office from which to work, you're set.
4) Home Staging has been recognized as one of the best growth businesses. Entrepreneur Magazine identified home staging as one of the hottest growth businesses, and the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program is the ONLY home staging business opportunity recognized by the magazine for the last three years in their business start up guides.
If you are a creative individual with an eye for design, you should consider becoming a Home Stager and put your talent to work for you. Home staging is a great career if you choose it. It is one of the most sought out services in the real estate industry today, and the future looks even brighter.
