Tip Number 2<span style="font-family:verdana;"><br /><strong>Credentials.</strong> These are a good thing to look for.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">When choosing a Stager to to be your Home Staging Partner, look for training they<br />have completed. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><br />There are a number of reputable courses and associations offering exclusive<br />instruction in developing skills of preparing homes for sale. Each has criteria<br />and guidelines that must be met to be Accredited or Certified. A Home Stager<br />should be a member of at least one Association to ensure they are adhering to a<br />Code of Ethics and Standards. Any or all of the instruction schools and<br />associations will assure you have found a Stager that has taken the necessary<br />steps to be a <strong><em>Professional with credentials to prove it</em></strong>. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">If you read my blog last week outlining My </span><a title="What to look for Tip 1" href="http://actvra.in/whQ"><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Tip Number 1</span></a><span style="font-family:Verdana;"> for choosing a Home Staging Partner, I stated that Realtors know how important credentials and training are to our business. As Stagers and Realtors we should continue our education as well. Returning to keep informed of changes in the real estate business and to keep our memberships current in affiliated associations.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;"><br />Each different Home Staging course should also have different levels and types of<br />training. I have taken the additional course affording me the Master<br />designation with Staged Homes.com. (R) Special training is also available with<br />Staging instruction for different Staging catagories at various schools,<br />offering hands-on and online training.<br /><br />As you explore, remember that a Home Stager is a Partner to homeowners, Realtors, builders and investors. We want to do as much as we can help properties to SOLD as quickly as possible and for the most amount of money with a Marketing Edge.<br /><br />The best Stagers will bring additional web marketing because they have an<br />affiliation with the best training websites which offer this to their current<br />associates.<br /><br />You will find Accredited Stagers have vendor discounts to pass along to clients.

Tip Number 1<div><span><br /><strong><span style="font-family:arial;">Tips for Choosing Your Home Staging Partner</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></strong><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>1. Statistics</strong>, that's a good thing. You could look for those.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>2. Credentials</strong>. Realtors know how important these are behind their name.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>3. Properties</strong> on their website. What do they look like? </span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>4. Geographical locations</strong> they serve. Do they have a potential for being an expert in your area?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>5. Longevity</strong>? Are they a newbie?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">All of these are important. Some may be more important to you than others.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Statistics should be very important. The least amount of days on the market per Staged Home. Well, this is definitely a good thing for a homeowner or a Realtor to consider. Not so good for my business though. That is right, I did just type that! As a Home Stager I should be looking for additional ways to generate income. You would think, right? When a house is under contract in days, I lose a possible source for additional income. I could potentially be receiving additional fees for the items I place in the property to enhance its appeal and appearance. Each day, week or month it does not sell, I am supposed to be collecting fees. This is a source of income for Stagers and a big one, for many. We all choose to work the way we want to work.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> There are two things to consider with Statistics for me. Days on Market? Would I like to be in the Staging Inventory Rental business as well as, a Home Stager? Sure! Or profit from Home Staging professional fees, first and foremost? Of course! I have chosen to make it my business to see that I do my best to get a home Under Contract and SOLD, ASAP. Income from the additional days, weeks or months on market are not my focus. I want to be known as the partner that helps you get your properties off your "Active Listings", and on to the "Sold Listings" pages of your website. As well as the partner that helped you get those moved over with the biggest commission check possible. I suggest this is important to consider when you interview and choose your Home Staging partner. Aren't we all in the business of helping the property get SOLD?</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> Tip Number 1 to finding the right partner for you. This has been my opinion, backed by experience and a suggestion to think about your choice, thoroughly. Check out the Stagers Statistics, first and foremost.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"> What Statistic, when selling a house, is the most important to you?Look for Tip 2...soon.</span><br /></span></div>President of Staged Home Decorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13235462354843031088noreply@blogger.com0
