I have actually had aspiring home stagers ask if they can accompany me to a home staging consultation so that they can get a feel for the business, and I have always told them that I am a “one woman show” when it comes to an initial staging consultation.

I do agree that there are times when a second set of hands is beneficial though during the staging of a home…especially when a property is large in size, and these are the times I do bring in an assistant. Certain clients in the past have volunteered to be my assistant for the day, and it has worked out wonderfully! I find that the clients who are reluctant to have any changes made to their homes are the ones who will not volunteer help, and this is when I definitely call upon an assistant.

Great post Debra! Thanks!
