you have one now?

Thanks for watching! Many Stagers charge a monthly "rental" fee because it could be in the property for a while, this can range between $100-$300 monthly depending on your location. For me, I don't like to chase my money so it can be more of a hassle trying to collect monthly payments than it's worth so I charge for the cost of items, installation & future destaging costs(movers/truck rental/gas), and my time(how much I would like to receive after all expenses are paid,). I allow my clients to keep the pieces up to 12 months "free", but it's never in the property more than 3 months. If you choose this option, be sure to include in your contract that those remaining months unused are not transferable to another stage, because people will try it. Haha! You'll find what works for you tho, often through trial and error because no ONE Staging style is for everyone. Hope that helped a little! *Please subscribe!! #ShamelessPlug

My pleasure! Blessings on your endeavors. Thanks for watching!

Haha thanks. Glad it was helpful! Blessings on your journey!

I'm sure it can go over any color. I can't say for sure but it was pretty thick.

Yes ma'am!

@@st.jamesco.6683 how do I find product ? Thx

Great question! I don't charge a monthly rate. I allow rental for up to 1 year for free. Although, I've never had a property sitting for more than 90 days after installation.

Thank you for watching and for letting know!

My pleasure. 😊Thank you for watching!

I'm so sorry. I'm trash at that. I'm going to get it together. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi Dee! I will get on that right away. A few have asked and time has passed so this is a good time for an update. Thanks for watching!

@@st.jamesco.6683is there an update?

Thanks John! And thank you for taking the time to watch. 🤩

Thanks for watching and commenting. This was over two years ago tho. I've somewhat gotten a handle on the sound through trial and error. Thanks for looking out!

I'll do a follow-up video on it with more detail. But for the record, its doing ok. of course...I didn't sand and all the necessary things...so. yknow...could be better.

I appreciate you for that. And my pleasure!🥰

Thank you!!!🥰

It didn't turn yellow for me. But it didn't hold 100% against scrapes and scratches. It's still looking good, but definitely only worth it for a temporary fix in my opinion. Glad everything worked out in the end for you.

My pleasure! Definitely research your geographical market. That's really going to really help you narrow your pricing down. 🥰Blessings love.

Hi Ayanda. Definitely not a requirement. But you do want to have quality pieces, that don't have to necessarily cost much, but give the look as such. Because let's face it, even costly furniture can sometimes look cheap.

@@st.jamesco.6683 thank you that make sense.

I am interested too

I don't think so. It doesn't seem water-friendly over time.

😂

No. I DEFINITELY should have!!! Highly recommend!

It's OK. It's a temporary fix, obviously. But the room is in its low traffic and there aren't any children in the home. Some small scratches but it's good for what I needed it for.

Haha! Thanks Donna! Glad you stopped by!

I've seen them at Lowes, Home Depot and Walmart, to name a few. Blessings!

My pleasure! Congrats on your business. There are definitely no limits to creativity! Thanks for watching, commenting, and subscribing!

@@st.jamesco.6683 hi the link it says page not available.

@@AyandaBailey Yes ma'am. This video is a little older. I've since pivoted my business and am involved in other endeavors. (REAL ESTATE/EVENT SPACES) Sorry for the confusion.

@@st.jamesco.6683 congratulations for new beginnings…. Would u say things have changed for the home staging industry since the lockdown? I’m seriously look into becoming a stager, just doing some research. Would also love to know your option on virtual staging?

Hi Cheyenne! Beautiful name! Feel free to reach out and I will do my best to help you however I can. Trust that you got this, tho! 🥰 No apologies necessary. We all have to start somewhere, right? Thanks for watching! facebook.com/stjameshomestaginganddesign

I am definitely going to do a video update soon. My results are not so favorable either!

@@st.jamesco.6683 I wish I can scrape it off. Don't know what I'm going to do cause it's just ugly now😭😭.

Oof! Well, maybe I'll try some solutions for removal and then include that in the video too. But if you find some before me, let me know! Lol!

@@st.jamesco.6683 I will.

I just watched it to see when it was dry. A couple of hours or so.

Hi Catonne73! I have to say, I'm not familiar with IAP. There are a variety of locations where you could obtain a staging cert. Little known fact: although it is highly recommended to get training, certification is NOT required for home staging. People are literally just creating their courses and selling it to others so they can become "certified" through them. With that being said, the industry is unregulated so pretty much anything goes which can negatively affect your business reputation if you do shoddy work. Depending on what you're looking for in a career, i.e., community, awards, recognition, help with contracts, insurance and a host of other services, etc., you might find agencies like RESA, an organization that offers a community of staging and networking. or IAHSP, another popular one. But if you just want a business that isn't tied to any annual fees and you just do your thing and feel comfortable doing it all, then joining those wont be necessary. One thing for certain, two things for sure, I've never had an agent or a client ask if I was a part of any organization nor for my credentials. Hope that helped a tidbit.

My advice is to join and attend your local Real estate marking meetings and network. Try meeting a home stager there, maybe asking if you can shadow them on a job or 2. Those certificate programs leave out about 10 different things that you really should know.

I used windex or some sort of surface cleaner.

What would you clean tube and toilet if you decide spray paint that same cleaner
