It drives me crazy when potential students fret about whether I already have a Staging Diva Graduate in their area. Unless you’re living on a tiny remote island with hardly any homes, you couldn’t possibly stage all the homes for sale in your market.
One new student from Florida just wrote that there are 13,000 homes for sale in her county alone! That’s a big enough market to support MANY home stagers and she can watch the number of unsold homes on the market climb even higher as we head into September and October.
Once the kids are back at school there will be many new listings and many new homeowners wondering how to make their home stand out from all the competition in their neighborhood.
You might want to read this story on why home staging sells a home faster and for top dollar.
So, when you find fear of potential competition stopping you from following your dreams, ask yourself whether there wouldn’t really be room in your market for a new home stager who really understands marketing! Let’s face it, in most industries, marketing know-how is the single biggest determinant of which companies are successful and which aren’t!
Discover the ONLY Home Staging Business Training Program taught by a seasoned entrepreneur who has successfully grown her own home staging business (not as a side-line to selling real estate) — The Staging Diva Training Program.

i LOVE to decorate….many people tell me my home is beautiful…i love to tweek other peoples houses…need to make extra money and would love to do what i love to do. I just do not know if there is a demand in rural ms. Between Jackson and Hattisburg. thanks for your input…
Brenda, It’s really easy to figure out if there’s enough demand in your area. You’ll find great tips for how to do it in this free report.
The other thing to keep in mind is this doesn’t have to be an all or nothing decision. If you already have a job where you’re making money, you don’t have to give it up to become a home stager. This can be something you do on the side, both for profit and for the love of doing it!
Good luck! I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Wayne Gretsky, “You are guaranteed to miss 100% of the shots you never take.”
