EP 093 | Staging Strategies with Nina Doiron

December 31, 2018

Listen Now

Although staging professionals have a unique skill set homeowners and real estate agents benefit from, there are many intersections between their work and the work of other design professionals. In this conversation we learn about some of the strategies that make stagers successful.

In this episode we learn:

  • having a design background can be helpful for staging, but it’s not always necessary
  • less is more with staging
  • the job is to appeal to a wide audience, not to the homeowner
  • listing minimum pricing on your website creates transparency
  • marketing to real estate agents is critical to continued work
  • systems for planning, packing, unpacking and processing orders are critical
