Have you seen the new show on HGTV called “Bang for your Buck”? The storyline for the show is that two experts, a Realtor and a Designer, compare three renovations of the same space, within the same city, all at the same budget, to see who got the most “bang for their buck”. I just happened to see the one that just aired which compared three $65,000 kitchen renovations in the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Since my husband and I endured a major kitchen renovation just 3 years ago and we invested nearly twice the national average, this story was particularly interesting to me.

In speaking with a lot of Home Stagers who are struggling to really get their businesses going, what’s missing is not talent, design skills, or a passion for what they do. The root of the problem is not having a strong foundation from which their business can grow and that foundation can be found in creating systems. Every business can attribute their success or lack thereof to having systems.

While I was watching this last week’s episode of Dancing with the Stars, I realized that the challenges that some of the stars have with learning their dances is similar to the challenges that Home Stagers, realtors and home sellers face when staging a property. The judge’s critique of Ty Murray and Lawrence Taylor’s dances was that although they got all the steps, their performance lacked emotion and a real connection with the dance. Unfortunately, many staged homes suffer a similar problem. Sure, decluttering, and cleaning is a component of home staging, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Unfortunately, many homes that are staged have been decluttered and cleaned up and it may even be decorated, but lack personality and fail to make an emotional connection with prospective buyers.
