Q. Tak, fordi du tog dig tid til at sidde sammen med os for at dele din historie med vores læsere. Kan du starte med at fortælle lidt om dig og din virksomhed?
I’ve been a Realtor for 19 years and started out my career working with some of the larger home builders as a sales agent. I worked closely with the design center and would spec homes and help with model home projects. I always loved the design aspect of the model homes and those years of working in the industry helped train me for my business today. My wife and I started Mint Home Staging Company after never being happy with the local stagers we would hire for my real estate listings. We saw a need and fulfilled it.
Q. Alle har en historie om, hvordan de startede, hvad var inspirationen eller katalysatoren for, at du startede din virksomhed?
As a Realtor, I was never happy with the stagers I would hire to stage my listings. I thought, “I can do this much better & for even less cost”. I purchased my first home worth of inventory in my CA Modern Style we are know for and staged one of my vacant listings. It was a hit and sold with multiple offers and had other agents ask who staged it…that lead to several other staging jobs and the journey began!
Q. Hvilke tjenester tilbyder du? Og hvorfor valgte du at tilbyde netop disse tjenester?
We do vacant home staging. We help buyers fall in love with the space with our on trend look & design.
Q. Har du nogensinde haft et projekt eller en kunde, hvor alt gik galt, eller projektet var udfordrende? Kan du fortælle om den tid, og hvordan fandt du en løsning eller overkom udfordringen?
We have had a few home owners say they were not the biggest fan of a couch we used or a look of a staging install and wanted it changed. We reminded them that we are the experts and they hired us to do a job, asked them to trust us and we know what we are doing…the home looks great and is on style for what buyers want today, it might not be your style and that’s ok…we are not staging the home for you to like but are staging it to appeal to the buyers that will be walking it. Sure enough, we got fantastic feedback on the staging and the home buyers actually purchased the home furnished with all of our furniture at a package bulk deal.

Q. Det er ikke altid let at drive en virksomhed. Hvad har du lært om dig selv og din virksomhed, siden du startede din virksomhed?
No one will work as hard as you on your business, work hard and smart and you will be successful. Find a need and fill it!
Q. Vi har alle haft enten en medarbejder eller en kunde, der gør det, vi laver, det hele værd. Kan du dele en historie med os om en medarbejder, sælger eller kunde, der virkelig har påvirket dig og rørt dit hjerte?
We love it when clients come to us for help. We have had many sellers have their homes sit on the market vacant and won’t sell, we stage them and they sell within a week. The sellers are always so thankful and wish they would have staged it at the very beginning!
Q. Hvis du kunne gå tilbage i tiden og give dig selv nogle råd om, hvordan du administrerer eller vokser din virksomhed, hvilket råd ville du så give dig selv?
Spend more money on online ad spend and you can grow as fast as you like.
Q. Hvis en potentiel kunde læste denne artikel lige nu, hvad ville du så fortælle dem om dig, dit team eller din virksomhed, der ville overbevise dem om at vælge din virksomhed?
We know what a beautifully staged home looks like that will help sell a home for top dollar and in the shortest amount of time.
Q. Hvad er et faktum om dig eller din virksomhed, som de fleste måske ikke kender?
I am a male running a business in a mostly female dominated field. I am the lead designer, inventory purchaser, secretary, bidder and installer.
Q. Hvor ser du din virksomhed gå hen i de næste 5 eller 10 år?
Slowly growing and possibly expanding into a few new markets in TN & FL.
