Yesterday we got a sneak peek at the HomeGain Top 10 DIY Home Improvement list for 2012. What followed behind the scenes was a rather heated discussion among many of the nation’s top professional home stagers. As noted in the article, “In past surveys, Home Staging and Lightening and Brightening were battling it out for the number two spot on the top 10 list. In the 2011 survey, Lightening and Brightening reclaimed the number two position and held on to it in 2012. Home Staging, however, fell to the number five position.”
Home staging, for the purposes of this survey was presented to Real Estate Professionals as, “Home staging: Add fresh flowers; removing personal items; reduce clutter; rearrange furniture; add new props or furniture to enhance room/s; play soft music; hang artwork in walls. See complete staging checklist.” To get a really good appreciation of what is characterized as home staging, check out the staging checklist linked above.
It’s no wonder that Professional Home Stagers are in an uproar over this survey. HomeGain, while we love you – I keep your little orange monkey, received after writing a really great article about you, visible in my office for anyone who comes here – can you please jump into the year 2012 and catch a reality as to what home staging really is?! Let me sum it up two sentences, just to be clear:

MyKirkland’s designer & long time home stager, Anthea Click, joins our home staging training instructor team. I got to know Anthea years ago through an online real estate community, Active Rain. It was practically love at first sight, so to speak. Anthea’s big smile and stunning stages had me hooked. I read every blog she wrote.
When I was looking for my initial instructor team for the relaunch of the SAR home staging training, Anthea was an original part of my ‘dream team’. When I asked, she accepted. Then suddenly I got a call letting me know that something had come up and she was going to have to change her mind. I was disappointed, but soon found out that she had the opportunity to become a designer for Kirklands. With a small child, husband, successful business & now a big time opportunity, I was thrilled for her.

You see, Just Perfect Home Staging is, yes, a staging company, but one where homeowners have to earn the right to be clients, and are publicly graded on their compliance with the JP team’s recommendations. In a brilliant, brave, bold branding gesture JP set up a seal of approval program. That the realtor community have embraced this concept is incredibly impressive. I’ve met realtors in Wilmington and they’re a weary, tough bunch. (in fairness, I was meeting mainly rental agents)
Even more impressive, to me at least, is that Jessica’s company services homes for sale that range from starter homes in the $100,000′s to upscale homes on the beach. And, within this range, she has her pricing set so that she can employ a marketing person, a sales person, and a lead interior specialist!
But, wait, there’s more!
