I’m thinking of getting into home staging for a business out here in Vegas- any feedback as to firsthand knowledge of the need and possible success of this business? Home staging is widely used on the east coast, but doesn’t seem to be known here. In this economy and with all the homes for sale, I figure the odds of getting work are higher if the value of staging is understood by the seller (many sellers do not want to lower their asking price and hence need to do something/everything to get the top dollar they’re asking for) (Home staging is, in a nutshell, basically decluttering/reorganizing/depersonalizing a home to create a picturesque atmosphere in order to get prospective buyers to feel like it could be their home, therefore bringing in top dollar for home sales to sellers and selling their home faster.)
Your intelligent thoughts/foresight are appreciated. Please reference your field of work/study in your reply also.
Thanks!!
