ABOUT BEAUTIFUL STAGED HOMES

As accomplished, certified home stagers, Beautiful Staged Homes views homes objectively - with "buyers" eyes.  The company benefitted from the rigorous training of Barb Schwarz (who started the staging industry over 35 years ago) of StagedHomes.com.  Experienced in using time-tested, cost-effective techniques that have worked on a national level, Linda Leyble and her team have staged many homes on Long Island - most of these sold in less than a week. In addition, as trained decorative painters, the company can magically transform dated countertops or cabinetry into designer showpieces - for a fraction of the cost of demolishing and buying new. Linda's decorative painting company was awarded the "Best of Long Island 2008" award - and has been nominated again for 2010 by the readers of the Long Island Press.

I hope the seminar goes well.   I am curious as to why no fee?

Hi!  I decided on no fee because I really wanted to attract as many people to the program as possible.  The only fees that I am incurring are some printing costs (minimal) and a few prizes that I'm raffling off - and a staging consultation (which I'm raffling as well).  I want to build my email list - of realtors and home sellers.  So - no fee! The library I am doing it in - there's no charge for me.

When you do a seminar, how much do you charge? Do you do a lot of marketing in order to get people there?  I mostly did all of my marketing online - and I had a notice in an event section in our major newspaper for Long Island - which is widely read.

The next seminar I'm doing will be at a restaurant - so I will have to charge for that (at least for the cost of the coffee and bagels).

Thanks for writing - I'll let you know how it goes!

Hi Linda,

In past career, when I did no-fee seminars, I found the turnout to be poor as there was no commitment.   This changes somewhat when there is a fee, no matter how small.

Since becoming a stager, I have only done 1 seminar and the turnout was poor.   I charged nothing and made it a fundraiser for one of the favourite charities here, Habitat for Humanity, and still sad turnout.

I attended a seminar put on by a senior stager from North Vancouver at a library and she charged a small fee.

I wish you well and hope your turnout is good.  The public is strange; when they should recognize a deal and take advantage of it, they often don't!  Do let me know how it goes.

Hi Sharon!  I had a small turnout - about 8 people.  All were home sellers (I did expect some realtors - but they did not come). Everyone stayed til the library closed - 45 minutes after the seminar ended.  I think that I will get at least 2 jobs out of it...a staging and furniture rental and an organizing/staging job for a senior.  So - all in all I felt that it was worth it. 

I do agree that if there was a small fee - more people would have showed up - because there were about 5 others that registered but they didn't show.

I will be doing another event in Feb that I will change a fee for because it's at a restaurant and I am serving food etc.  I am going to get sponsors for that one as well.

Where I am - in New York - I have a hard time getting the realtors to use me on a conistent basis, so I have to reach out to the sellers. 

Thanks for writing to me again!

Additional Information

My blog will detail home staging strategies, ideas and advice for realtors and consumers as well. It will focus on creating an atmosphere in a home - rather than just making a home look pretty. Creating an emotional "tug" at the heartstrings of a potential buyer is just as important a strategy in the decision-making process as prudent pricing. The tips and ideas will be cost-effective - and user friendly.
