Over time, though, I found myself drifting away from a creative career, and I wasn\u2019t happy! I needed to have a creative outlet and discovered home staging\u2014and one thing just led to another. A year ago, I quit my full-time office job and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/04\/start-home-staging-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">started my interior decorating and home staging business<\/a>.\n<h3>Did you become a home stager or a real estate agent first?<\/h3>\nI became a certified Home Stager first. I got my real estate license a couple of years later. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/11\/sell-houses-home-staging-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Being on both sides of the transaction<\/a> has been helpful because I understand how sellers feel when they are getting ready to move. It is a really hard decision in some cases and I can certainly empathize with them. On the other side, I know what Buyers are looking for so I can use this to educate sellers (in the nicest way possible!)[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;40&#8243;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;16451&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_column_text]<i>Before &amp; After Bathroom<\/i>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_content&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; bottom_padding=&#8221;2%&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; shape_type=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>How would you describe your decorating style?

When I\u2019m staging, I really let the house dictate the style. Fortunately, I love anything blue and white, and living in South Florida, a lot of houses embrace the coastal style!\n<h3>Can you describe your favorite project so far?<\/h3>\n<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>I love a challenge. Sometimes, Realtors and homeowners hire a home stager or decorator after they\u2019ve reached a roadblock. Whatever they are doing on their own just wasn\u2019t working, and they realized they needed professional help.\n\nI recently staged a home that was on the market for over two years with two different Realtors. The sellers were extremely frustrated and hired me. Within six months of staging, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.qcdesignschool.com\/2017\/11\/sell-houses-home-staging-courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">house was sold<\/a>.
