C. Go raibh maith agat as an am a ghlacadh chun suí linn chun do scéal a roinnt lenár léitheoirí. An féidir leat tosú amach trí roinnt a roinnt fút féin agus faoi do chuideachta?
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.
C. Tá scéal ag gach duine faoin gcaoi ar thosaigh siad, cad é an inspioráid nó an chatalaíoch duit chun do ghnó a thosú?
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!
C. Cad iad na seirbhísí a thairgeann tú? Agus cén fáth ar roghnaigh tú na seirbhísí áirithe sin a thairiscint?
We do vacant home staging. We help buyers fall in love with the space with our on trend look & design.
C. An raibh tionscadal nó custaiméir agat riamh, áit a raibh gach rud ag dul amú nó an raibh an tionscadal dúshlánach? An féidir leat a roinnt faoin am sin, agus conas a d'aimsigh tú réiteach, nó an bhfuair tú an dúshlán a shárú?
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.
brandaí ba chóir go mbeadh a fhios ag gach stager baile
C. Ní bhíonn sé éasca i gcónaí gnó a reáchtáil. Cad atá foghlamtha agat fút féin agus faoi do ghnó, ó seoladh do chuideachta?
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!
C. Bhí fostaí nó custaiméir againn go léir agus is fiú go mór an méid atá á dhéanamh againn. An féidir leat scéal a roinnt linn faoi fhostaí, díoltóir nó custaiméir a chuaigh i bhfeidhm go mór ort agus a chuaigh i dteagmháil le do chroí?
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!
C. Dá bhféadfá dul siar in am agus comhairle a thabhairt duit féin ar conas do ghnó a bhainistiú nó a fhás, cén chomhairle a thabharfá duit féin?
Spend more money on online ad spend and you can grow as fast as you like.
C. Dá mbeadh cliant ionchasach ag léamh an ailt seo faoi láthair, cad a déarfá leo fút féin, faoi d’fhoireann nó faoi do ghnó a chuirfeadh ina luí orthu do chuideachta a roghnú?
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.
C. Cad é fírinne amháin fút féin nó faoi do ghnó nach mbeadh a fhios ag formhór na ndaoine?
I am a male running a business in a mostly female dominated field. I am the lead designer, inventory purchaser, secretary, bidder and installer.
C. Cá bhfeiceann tú do ghnó ag dul sna 5 nó 10 mbliana atá romhainn?
Slowly growing and possibly expanding into a few new markets in TN & FL.
C. Bhí sé chomh iontach suí leat chun níos mó a fhoghlaim fút féin agus faoi do chuideachta. Conas is féidir le daoine tuilleadh eolais a fháil fút féin agus faoi do ghnó?
