KAZAM... BAM... POW!!!
Whether you are a Realtor, interior designer, appraiser, or any other service provider... this can apply to you too.
I live in a very "stager rich" area of Northern California. There used to be over 250 stagers within a 30 mile radius but now there are maybe 15, if that many, that are actively staging on a weekly basis.
I guess you could call these people my competitors. But I don't see it that way. True, we all are looking for work in similar areas, we sometimes go against each other on bids, and we see another stagers work while perusing vacant properties. My biggest competition is really myself. I am always pushing myself to keep up on trends, to pass out my cards every week, to show up to events, to keep up with networking, following up with clients. If I miss out on something... I am mad at myself. I don't beat myself up over it though, I just make a little note for the next time. My "next time" note book is a novel ;)... ask Ryan ;)
So in conclusion, I compete against myself. The other stagers in my area are in the staging industry. What Ryan and I have to offer our clients far exceeds what anyone else can do. So it is up to "me"(and us) to continue the quest to be the finest, quality, staging service in the whole Sacramento Valley.
I won't stop till we get there!

We have a very smart Realtor on our team. He picks up homes in nice neighborhoods, cleans them up, stages the home, and then he lists it! We never feel rushed, we are paid promptly, and he LOVES what we do. It is a win for everyone because the last 5 homes we have done for him either have had multiple offers or have gone pending in 1 week. So, as a team, WE ARE SELLING HOMES.
It all started out with a phone call. Most of you know that I am a teacher and a stager. I do both full time. 2 months ago I got a msg from a Realtor that wanted me to see a house ASAP. Luckly, it was on my school lunch break so I could immediatley call him back. I referred him to my staging partner Ryan who handles most of our day calls. Thank goodness Ryan could go and see the house. We gave the REA a bid and waited..... and waited, then finally after a couple of followup calls, he gives us the GO. "And by the way", he asks, "can you do 7 homes in the next few weeks". Sure you bet we said without a hitch! I am so glad that I was able to call him right back and have Ryan do the go see.
So far we have completed 5 of his homes. The longest DOM for the 5 homes was 7 days. These homes have been vacant which gave us a clean, blank canvas to be creative and really try to showcase them. The homes are competively priced and all are in great locations. Between the REA's marketing base and ours, we were able to market these homes with a huge blast from several different avenues.
Yes, working together as a team definately has its advantages. When we can all sell homes... life is good!
