As I teach Home Staging classes, I always get tons of questions from aspiring home stagers, looking for a fail-proof formula to success.
I probably disappoint them by telling them that there is no such thing, but I give them suggestions and ideas and tell them what works (and what doesn't!) for me, everything I have learned from trial and error in the last four years.
Several factors are important to make us successful. Today, I want to concentrate on FLEXIBILITY.
Every property is unique, every seller's needs and requirements are different and so are their personalities! It's almost impossible, I think, to always sell the same packages, as they will not fit everyone.
I have a 'standard' offering of services, which are priced and a per-service basis, but I'm always wiiling to work with a client to modify them. For example, a small one-bedroom condominium will certainly not require as much of my time as a three bedroom+office+basement house. Another example is of a client who wants me to help her decide which furniture will move to the new house in two weeks and which one will stay behind and be used for staging the old house. And many more examples...as many as there are sellers out there.
So, being flexible and fair to the client is one of the key ingredients to success, in my humble opinion. I am curious to know what you think, please let me know!
