P. Obrigado por reservar um tempo para se sentar conosco para compartilhar sua história com nossos leitores. Você pode começar compartilhando um pouco sobre você e sua empresa?
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.
P. Todo mundo tem uma história sobre como começou, qual foi a inspiração ou o catalisador para você começar seu negócio?
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!
P. Quais serviços você oferece? E por que você escolheu oferecer esses serviços específicos?
We do vacant home staging. We help buyers fall in love with the space with our on trend look & design.
P. Você já teve um projeto ou cliente em que tudo estava dando errado ou o projeto era desafiador? Você pode compartilhar sobre aquela época e como você encontrou uma solução ou superou o desafio?
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.

P. Administrar um negócio nem sempre é fácil. O que você aprendeu sobre você e sua empresa, desde o lançamento de sua empresa?
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!
P. Todos nós já tivemos um funcionário ou um cliente que fez o que estamos fazendo valer a pena. Você pode compartilhar conosco uma história sobre um funcionário, fornecedor ou cliente que realmente o impactou e tocou seu coração?
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!
P. Se você pudesse voltar no tempo e dar a si mesmo alguns conselhos sobre como gerenciar ou expandir seus negócios, que conselho você daria a si mesmo?
Spend more money on online ad spend and you can grow as fast as you like.
P. Se um cliente em potencial estivesse lendo este artigo agora, o que você diria a ele sobre você, sua equipe ou sua empresa que o convenceria a escolher sua empresa?
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.
P. Qual é um fato sobre você ou sua empresa que a maioria das pessoas pode não saber?
I am a male running a business in a mostly female dominated field. I am the lead designer, inventory purchaser, secretary, bidder and installer.
P. Para onde você vê sua empresa indo nos próximos 5 ou 10 anos?
Slowly growing and possibly expanding into a few new markets in TN & FL.
