Your services are invaluable to clients who want their properties to be snapped up quickly by potential buyers. As you complete more and more successful projects, you\u2019ll find that your design business (and career) grow steadily as a result.\n\nBut what about your salary? Your services as a home stager – especially if you have a staging certification – are worth a lot to clients, and as such there are many ways to boost your earnings. Read on for a full guide to growing your salary as a home stager and get ready to grow your income!\n

Maintain relationships with clients<\/h3>\nNever underestimate the power of a strong working relationship with your home staging clients. From the moment a homeowner decides that they need to hire a home stager, they are putting a great deal of trust in that individual to assess their home, highlight its best features, and prepare it to be sold for the best market price. Once you\u2019re hired to provide home staging services, the relationship with your client is formed – and it is a seriously <\/em>important one.[\/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=”8998″ alignment=”” animation=”Fade In” box_shadow=”none” max_width=”100%”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” 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]They\u2019ll be dependent on your expertise, asking you questions and noting your answers. Knowing how to banish clutter, display their items in new ways, and evaluate any repairs that need to be made is key in this situation. Plus, being able to make quick, educated decisions will impress your client and build a level of trust.\n\nOnce their home is sold, you should be proud of your accomplishment, but also know that the relationship definitely does not end there! Keep in touch with all of your home staging clients \u2013 they will refer you to friends and colleagues, potentially share your services on social media, and sing your praises in Facebook and Google reviews. Word-of-mouth is huge<\/strong> for home staging professionals<\/a>, so make sure your clients are happy with their staged home, and that they have your business card so they can pass on your name.\n\nThe more clients and jobs you work on, the more your salary as a home stager will grow!\n

Get certified<\/h3>\nHow can you ensure that you\u2019re ahead of the competition as a home staging professional? Get certified! When it comes to home staging, the right training will equip you with the skills and knowledge you need to succeed \u2013 decluttering, redesign, creating curb appeal, and the basics of real estate are just a few items you\u2019ll become well-versed in. A home staging class will also provide tools to deal with different client personalities and\u00a0real estate agents<\/a>, so not only will you hit the ground running, you\u2019ll also have a leg up on other design professionals. You\u2019ll know how to communicate and work with important players in the industry better than they do![\/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=”9005″ 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]Speaking of having a leg up, home stager training (and a staging certification, for that matter) will set you apart from your competition, giving you that extra edge sought after by employers and clients. Once you receive your professional designation, you can start building your hands-on experience right away \u2013 network as much as possible and don\u2019t be afraid to volunteer your services.\n\nAnd never underestimate the connections you make as you complete your training! Get to know your fellow students and be sure to take advantage of the career resources available to you through your design school. You never know who may need home staging services or who can help you find a job. The sooner you start working as a certified home staging, the quicker you\u2019ll build your salary – so grab every opportunity to hone your skills and meet as many people in the interior design industry as you can.\n\nPro tip:<\/strong> Many home staging schools teach you how to start your own business, so be sure to soak up this knowledge! Having your own home staging business is one of the best ways to grow your salary, as you can set your own rates and choose your clients.\u00a0 It may take several years before you launch your own business, but making it a career goal (which many aspiring home stagers do) is an excellent idea.\n

Offer new services<\/h3>\nIf you\u2019ve been working as a home stager for a little while and have built a steady list of clientele, it may be time to think about expanding your services. If you want to grow your salary, this is a fantastic way to do so, as clients will see you as a one-stop shop, and no longer just a home stager.[\/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=”9009″ 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]When choosing the best options for expanding services, it\u2019s important to consider what would be a natural and complementary fit with your current home staging services. One branch of the design industry to consider is feng shui – the idea of healthy living is extremely trendy with homeowners, and wellness and balance are at the heart of this ancient Chinese practice. \u00a0Find out how to add feng shui to your design services!<\/a>\n\nAnother service you can offer as a home stager that will undoubtedly grow your income is flipping homes! Staging naturally lends itself to the process of flipping homes, so your design certification will prepare you well. Become familiar with best flipping practices, be patient, and know that you have the tools to flip homes successfully. Clients will appreciate the range of skills you can provide, and having an extra service can only boost your salary as a designer.\n

Never stop learning<\/h3>\nRegardless of if you\u2019ve been in the design industry for years or just a few weeks, it is so<\/em> important to keep sharpening your skills! Learn about different branches of interior design and consider expanding your services to include things like professional organizing and interior decorating. This can only boost your salary as a home stager, and ensure your career is dynamic all the way through.\n
