Does the idea of dressing a house to be sold quickly get you fired up? If so, a career in home staging could be an excellent path for you \u2013 not only will your services be invaluable to clients who want their properties to be desirable to potential buyers, you\u2019ll also build a great deal of trust to grow your design career steadily.\n\nSo how do you go about becoming a professional home stager? There are a few steps involved to make sure you hit the ground running with the best possible knowledge and skills under your belt. Stick with us as we walk you through what\u2019s required in order to succeed in this role!\n

Enroll in a home staging course<\/h3>\nSome careers will allow you to enter into the field without any prior training, as proper techniques, theory, and practices do not exist. Home staging is not one of those careers.\n\nIn order to be successful in this role, you\u2019ll need to obtain the right education and certification \u2013 after all, clients are going to depend on you to use the right techniques to banish clutter, display their decorative items in creative and attractive ways, and figure out what repairs need to be made. This knowledge can only be obtained from proper training, and that\u2019s where staging courses come in![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”8859″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]The great news is that this is very doable, even if you\u2019re at a point where you\u2019re working a full-time job and have a number of different priorities to juggle. Online home staging courses<\/a> are designed especially with busy professionals in mind \u2013 you can structure your learning around your lifestyle and complete the course while working or raising a family. They also contain business training, so once you graduate you\u2019ll have the skills to start your own business!\n

Obtain your staging certification<\/h3>\nThroughout your home staging training, you\u2019ll learn how to depersonalize and declutter, as well as how to create beautiful curb appeal for your clients\u2019 homes. These skills, and many others, will be invaluable to you after your home staging course. As a result, your staging certification will be a serious testament to your knowledge of the design industry \u2013 specifically to your familiarity with how to properly stage homes.\n\nYou can use your design designation after your name, on business cards, and various other places to show potential clients what you\u2019re capable of. Although home staging is unregulated (meaning that there are no specific education requirements for staging homes), your training and certification will set you apart in a big way!<\/a>\n\nNever underestimate just how far your knowledge can take you, and how impressive it will be to clients. Plus, entering into a career as a home stager with confidence in your abilities is a huge bonus!\n

Build your designer portfolio<\/h3>\nWith a home staging class and staging certification under your belt, you\u2019re armed with everything you need to start your career, right?\n\nWrong.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”8860″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]This is a visual industry, and as such, having a home design portfolio is the key to becoming a professional home stager (in addition to your education and certification, of course!). If you\u2019re low on experience, don\u2019t worry \u2013 there are many ways to build up your portfolio<\/a> as a home stager without having a list of projects you\u2019ve worked on.\n\nFirst of all, you can absolutely use your course work, such as the hands-on assignments you complete and submit photos of. Place your very best work in your portfolio (even add your grade in there, as well!) to show clients what you\u2019ve worked on in the past and the feedback you received. Another great way to beef up your visual showcase is by designing and staging your own home \u2013 spend some time staging your basement or living room, take some before and after shots, and watch your design portfolio start to take shape!\n\nPro tip:<\/strong> Always treat your portfolio as a work in progress, and add to it as you work on new projects. Potential clients will always want to see what you\u2019ve recently worked on and your own style, so don\u2019t be afraid to replace photos and change things up as you go!\n

Pump up your online presence<\/h3>\nIt\u2019s no surprise that home staging is a popular service that is in high demand. This makes it both a rewarding and profitable career, but it also means that you\u2019ll need a strong online presence to be successful as a home stager. In order to stand out from the competition, being active on social media channels such as Facebook, Instagram and Twitter is key, and it goes without saying that you\u2019ll need a beautiful, user-friendly website.\n\nClients who need to sell their homes quickly will most likely look online for home staging professionals, so making a quick and positive first impression is what you\u2019ll need to do to land that staging job. Your social media presence goes hand-in-hand with\u00a0your home design website<\/a>, and you\u2019ll need to carve out time each day to post new content, increase your audience, and keep a sharp eye out for other home stagers in the area. Being available daily on social media gives you a much better chance of connecting with designers\/clients who may need a home stager, or even catching the eye of a real estate company who is on the hunt for professional stagers.\n\nPro tip:<\/strong> Listing your home staging services in public directories is an excellent way to get your name out there! Many homeowners who are in the market for certified home stagers don\u2019t know where to look, so they look to a search engine for help. You want to be sure that your business is listed.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][image_with_animation image_url=”8861″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_content” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”2%” bottom_padding=”2%” overlay_strength=”0.3″][vc_column enable_animation=”true” animation=”fade-in” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” delay=”250″][vc_column_text]\n

Maintain relationships with clients<\/h3>\nAs mentioned earlier, professional home stagers establish a great deal of trust with their clients that is built on their expertise and encouragement. Clients need to feel that they can depend on home stagers to make the best possible choices in order to sell their home quickly and for the best price. If this is accomplished, a strong relationship will form automatically.\n\nAs a home stager, therefore, it\u2019s extremely important to keep in touch with previous clients and encourage them to refer your services \u2013 you never know which friends or family members may be in need of staging expertise, and a happy client will always want to share a qualified and capable professional!\n
