Increase Your Profits
by Working with Builders

home builder - house construction This online learning session helps you take on the challenge of working with builders by reviewing, step by step, how to make this strategy come alive.

Do you want to consistently have builders as a part of your portfolio?
Do you want a healthy business segment from this niche?
Unsure of the “How”?

Steps include understanding your budget allotment for this new initiative and writing a detailed plan for spending. Even when budgeting seems difficult there are ways to put trust in an estimate based on trends from your occupied staging jobs. You will walk away with a comfort level doing this. Maybe you see other stagers building their inventory and making vacant staging a priority but you just don’t know how to approach it or there’s a fear that’s dissuading you. I think many stagers have that same collective sentiment. Likewise, managing your budget can be even trickier so we will dive into how best to forecast to not take on too much debt when expanding.

Another consideration when adding vacants/builders to your portfolio is maintaining the perfect space allocation; when to expand, when not to expand. Evaluating all of your options, along with understanding timing is a logical next step.

The last stage of preparation is getting to know the builder in order to determine your pricing and contracting. At the conclusion, once all the steps are laid out, you will be able to initiate a solid builder strategy with the utmost of confidence.

Participants will learn:

How to prepare a budget and allocate funding prior to approaching a builder
How to plan for appropriate inventory purchases and space allocation

How to understand the builder’s position and close the sale

Join Christine Rae and her guest host, owner of Home Perfect Design and Vacant Staging Specialist Laurie Slater, MBA, CSP, VSS for this 1 hour, information packed webinar where they will help you take the leap into this lucrative field without getting in over your head. Learn how to approach, how to plan and budget too!

Is Staging Certification Necessary?

The home staging industry is unregulated and there is no “governing and regulating association”. Don’t let this alarm or dissuade you from pursing your dream. The Home Inspection industry is non- regulated also, in fact many industries are rooted in non-regulation. What it means is simply anyone can say they are a stager and anyone can provide a training course, online or in person………….. without ever having staged a home! Shocking isn’t it? We believe as a new business starting out you need as much ammunition and information as possible to position you as an expert instead of a newbie. Certification for a stager is as vital as a license is to a real estate agent.

Yesterday I was listening to and reviewing some of the information from the “FastTrack Business Package”, it occurred to me how much thought went into putting this package together. I felt I needed to say Thank You to you and your Team. All the information taught in the class and provided in this package has given me the confidence I need to start this new chapter in my life.

“Having gone through my first CSP training class years ago, and then taking a refresher class recently, I still feel that you cannot get a better staging education than CSP.”
