F. Tack för att du tog dig tid att sitta med oss för att dela din berättelse med våra läsare. Kan du börja med att berätta lite om dig och ditt företag?
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.
F. Alla har en historia om hur de började, vad var inspirationen eller katalysatorn för att du startade ditt företag?
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!
F. Vilka tjänster erbjuder du? Och varför valde du att erbjuda just dessa tjänster?
We do vacant home staging. We help buyers fall in love with the space with our on trend look & design.
F. Har du någonsin haft ett projekt eller en kund, där allt gick fel eller projektet var utmanande? Kan du berätta om den tiden, och hur hittade du en lösning eller överkom utmaningen?
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.

F. Att driva ett företag är inte alltid lätt. Vad har du lärt dig om dig själv och ditt företag sedan du startade ditt företag?
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!
F. Vi har alla haft antingen en anställd eller en kund som gör det vi gör värt allt. Kan du dela med dig av en berättelse om en anställd, säljare eller kund som verkligen påverkade dig och berörde ditt hjärta?
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!
F. Om du kunde gå tillbaka i tiden och ge dig själv några råd om hur du kan hantera eller växa ditt företag, vilka råd skulle du ge dig själv?
Spend more money on online ad spend and you can grow as fast as you like.
F. Om en potentiell kund läser den här artikeln just nu, vad skulle du berätta för dem om dig, ditt team eller ditt företag som skulle övertyga dem att välja ditt företag?
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.
F. Vad är ett faktum om dig eller ditt företag som de flesta kanske inte känner till?
I am a male running a business in a mostly female dominated field. I am the lead designer, inventory purchaser, secretary, bidder and installer.
F. Vart ser du att ditt företag går under de kommande 5 eller 10 åren?
Slowly growing and possibly expanding into a few new markets in TN & FL.
