The Home Staging Show

This week, we dive into an overlapping space within the Home Staging and Real Estate industry: Running a business with and alongside your spouse. I sit down with my guest, Daniel Coffman, co-owner of Staged Spaces, an educator and speaker within the staging community, to discuss the relationship dynamics of running a business — and raising a family — together, with your partner.  Originally from the Midwest and currently based in Los Angeles, CA, Daniel has specialized in the Home Design and Real Estate industry for nearly a decade. Even further, Daniel is known for his creative collaboration efforts and ability to ensure both he and his work are noticed and remembered. We discuss how and why Daniel entered the Home Staging and Real Estate industry, and the responsibilities he and his partner, Jacyn, each have within their company, Staged Spaces. Daniel also shares tips and techniques on how they maintain effective communication, strategies for managing their personal and professional lives, and how their children respond to the social media aspect of a home staging business.  Love what Daniel has to say? Be sure to check out Daniel's past Staging Community Talk about staging workflow on Episode #150 of The Home Staging Show.

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. If you're interested in learning more about these topics, catch up on StagerCon 2023 with our Replay Pass! Simply go to www.stagercon.com for more information.
