One Stager's Philosophy
I believe that there is an "infinite pie" in the home staging industry. There are more than enough houses on the market to either stage or redesign for all of us to keep busy for a good while, if we all work together to educate the public and Realtors to the advantages of our business. The more stagers share the benefits of our labor, the more we help everyone involved. The stager makes a home beautiful for the seller. The Realtors have a more marketable product and the buyer is able to see themselves living in the home. Everyone wins.
The other aspect to the infinite pie philosophy is that we all are colleagues and not competitors. Each one of us has strengths and weaknesses, so by sharing knowledge and time with each other we better the industry as a whole. There are things I can learn from each one of the stagers no matter how new or how seasoned, as well as being willing to help my fellow stagers with what I have learned. Pooling our knowledge in any of the venues like Active Rain, bulletin boards with RESA, ASHSR, IRIS, SDP or any other group will only strengthen our ability to do our jobs. The creativity each one of us brings to our own business can grow exponentially when shared with others. Not one of us will do the exact same thing even if we duplicate an idea because we will put our own touches on the idea to make it our own. There is so much camaraderie in working as colleagues to better what we do separately and collectively.
