You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and nowhere is this more obvious than when we’re looking at a house. I’ve seen it plenty of times: clients pull up to a house for a viewing, but are so put off by the outside that they don’t even want to go in! Having a landscape that’s tidy, beautiful, and welcoming can do wonders for your happiness while living in your home and be a boost when you’re ready to sell it, too. And our guest today is an expert on exactly that! Ben Hale is a DIY landscape design coach and owner of Easy Living Yards.  His work helps busy homeowners create the beautiful yard they deserve with the least maintenance possible. He teaches his clients through the Easy Living Yards Podcast and membership, so they can have more time to enjoy their yard with pride.  Ben shares a wealth of information with us today about how to design a landscape that looks beautiful and saves you money, time, and headaches. He shares some specific advice for home stagers and sellers about how to stage your landscape so it looks as welcoming and tidy, and we talk about some simple curb-checks you can do to make sure your house looks great to prospective buyers.  You can find complete show notes and more information at https://www.staged4more.com/podcast

Welcome to The Home Staging Show podcast, where we deep dive into the world of home staging and how to build a viable home staging business. In this episode, Cindy recaps the recent StagerCon 2023 conference, which focused on building multiple streams of income for home stagers. One of the big takeaways from this year’s conference is the importance of intentional business design. This strategic approach gives you the flexibility to select the tools and strategies that align perfectly with your goals and visions of your home staging business. Even among the six active stagers and speakers this year, we can already see a wide range of home staging business models and philosophies. We think it clearly shows that it is possible to design and build the home staging business you want, as long as you have a clear vision of what you want and develop staging services and strategies that seamlessly fit your staging business. From consultations and turnkey home design to short-term rental design and the emerging trend of midterm rental design, we also took a look at staging services that you can explore and consider adding to your home staging business. We also touch on the power of affiliate programs and the benefits of charging your worth for your expertise. Whether you prefer slow growth or scaling big, managing your cash flow and aligning your business goals with your desired lifestyle are key factors to consider.
