Q. Takk for at du tok deg tid til å sitte sammen med oss for å dele historien din med leserne våre. Kan du starte med å dele litt om deg og din bedrift?
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 startet, hva var inspirasjonen eller katalysatoren for at du startet din bedrift?
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 tilbyr du? Og hvorfor valgte du å tilby akkurat disse tjenestene?
We do vacant home staging. We help buyers fall in love with the space with our on trend look & design.
Q. Har du noen gang hatt et prosjekt eller en kunde, hvor alt gikk galt eller prosjektet var utfordrende? Kan du fortelle om den tiden, og hvordan fant du en løsning, eller kom deg over utfordringen?
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 alltid lett å drive en bedrift. Hva har du lært om deg selv og virksomheten din etter at du startet selskapet?
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 hatt enten en ansatt eller en kunde som gjør det vi gjør verdt alt. Kan du dele med oss en historie om en ansatt, leverandør eller kunde som virkelig påvirket deg og rørte hjertet ditt?
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 tilbake i tid og gi deg selv noen råd om hvordan du kan administrere eller utvide virksomheten din, hvilke råd ville du gitt deg selv?
Spend more money on online ad spend and you can grow as fast as you like.
Sp. Hvis en potensiell kunde leste denne artikkelen akkurat nå, hva ville du fortalt dem om deg, teamet ditt eller virksomheten din som ville overbevise dem om å velge ditt firma?
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. Hva er ett faktum om deg eller din bedrift som de fleste kanskje ikke vet?
I am a male running a business in a mostly female dominated field. I am the lead designer, inventory purchaser, secretary, bidder and installer.
Spørsmål. Hvor ser du for deg at virksomheten din vil gå de neste 5 eller 10 årene?
Slowly growing and possibly expanding into a few new markets in TN & FL.
