I’ve been contacted by a home seller with an open home staging job in Anchorage, Alaska. They need the help of a professional home stager for this furnished 3,500-square-foot home. It will be listed for $600,000 in the next few weeks, so this home staging job needs to be filled as soon as possible. What a great project for your portfolio!
With almost 375,000 people living in the metropolitan area, Anchorage would be a great place to start a home staging business. Also, there’s no sales tax in Anchorage, which is attractive to entrepreneurs!
It’s easy to apply for this home staging project. All you need to do is complete the form at the Staging Diva Home Staging Project Referral Service.
Please be sure to include “Anchorage, AK Staging Project” as the project location in the first line of the form.
This home staging job will be referred first to members of the Staging Diva Directory of Home Stagers at no charge. If there’s not a Directory member available for this project, it will be open to any Staging Diva Graduate with a professional Internet presence. (It’s difficult to convince a client to hire you if they can’t review your staging portfolio, after all!)
If you get any paid work through this referral, there will be a $125 referral fee, which you can build into your staging fee if you’d like. It’s entirely up to you.
Because of all the traffic generated by my many home staging websites, I get lots of leads on staging jobs from all over the United States and Canada, and as far away as England, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, South Africa and Israel! I will only refer them to Graduates.
I generate tons of traffic for anyone listed on the Directory. Just one good project would more than pay for your entire training program plus building and hosting your web page on the high-traffic Directory of Home Stagers for an entire year! When clients find you from your listing in the Staging Diva Directory, I do not charge you a referral fee.
Debra, Victoria – the Anchorage staging job is mine! Driving to the home and leaving my outstanding, professional looking Staging Diva brochure and business card taped to this new client’s door was a smart move. I learned that emails can go to the SPAM folder and sometimes voice mail just doesn’t work (or it gets too full!). The old fashioned business approach – hand delivery – worked better than technology in this case! Hoorah! I start the project next week. As a graduate with the privilege of receiving staging referrals – I thank you both for alerting me of the opportunity.
Bravo Stacy, congratulations on getting the project and for making sure you get noticed. You are so right that emails and voice mails don’t always reach their destination!
Your story is an inspiration to others to keep at it and cast aside shyness or (usually overblown) fears of being “too pushy.” When someone wants help and you’re there to provide it, they’ll appreciate it!
Thanks, you always have the right words of encouragement. And how did you know that at first I felt I might be over stepping a boundry (as in being “too pushy”) by driving to my new client’s home and delivering my business information to her door, lol?
Stacy, how did I know? Cause I’ve been there 🙂
Congratulations again!
