    I’ve watched many,many staging videos & this was one of the best. Excellent explanation about why & where furniture is placed.

      Thank you! I find a real lack of good training, in the industry, in this area. Too many stagers just “decorate”.

    This was 2 years ago, I'm curious if you've changed some of the way you stage houses and some of your "lingo"?

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      Lingo is pretty much industry standard. I’ve since retired, so I’m not sure if things have changed as far as standard language. At the time this was filmed, I was an industry leader, so that was standard terminology. As housing trends shift, the staging will shift. Things that need to be carefully thought out, it should be staged as the MOST LIKELY BUYER will use it.

    Hello, i’ve been thinking, since I worked in new home construction, to use a home stager rather than a designer/decorator. Obviously I would want to keep or have a list of what to look for to put in my home.
    What are your thoughts about that?

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s a very different job. Some can do both. Personally, I wouldn’t have. I made my money on creating a marketing package (through lifestyle staging & photography) for my clients. It was specifically in my contracts that sellers had zero say in the design. I knew my job & what the buyer wanted. Obviously, you wouldn’t want that kind of situation. Stagers who do Air BNB’s would be your best option. Most stagers are up to date on home decor trends, as we need to be, but aren’t trained in working with personal tastes of the homeowner, as they are irrelevant during the staging process.

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry. I’m just realizing that I misread your question. If you are thinking of having models or inventory properties staged vs using designers, YES! We did a lot of that and usually our work was more realistic for the buyers as we didn’t do custom furniture, draperies, etc. be sure to choose a stager that understands lifestyle and demographic staging. There are some really good ones, but some really bad ones too! A stagers focus is always on the buyers and what they want.

    For those of us who are new to real estate investing & flipping...listing your cost for staging this home would be nice.
    When watching utubers flipping homes they usually give estimate for costs like kitchens, landscape, bathrooms flooring, HVAC, bringing electrical up to code.
    By knowing what u charge for staging a home like this, the extra cost can be included in with the construction/real estate costs.

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks for the feedback Phyllis! The cost of staging is very different around the country, so what’s fair in Jacksonville, FL may be a lot more, or a lot less in other markets. Generally speaking, we charge 1% of list price, with a $2000 minimum to stage the entire house. This includes professional photography also. I’ll be mindful of adding this info in the future!

      It depends on the staging company. We have always allowed buyers to purchase the furniture.

    why do you only show half the view of the room?? i am under 2 mins in and feel frustrated because you don't capture the whole room.

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I’m not sure I understand the complaint. I literally showed the entire room as I came in. The wall, to the left, is the wall we put the TV on. The wall, directly in front, is where we put the bar. The wall to the right is where we placed the sofa. The very front wall, is the window that looks outside, to the front yard. It’s just a very small space.

    For years now I have entertained myself looking at online listings of homes for sale. The staged properties standout for their implausibility and sterility. The empty homes, too often, show obvious flaws such as mismatched, or missing, baseboard molding or missing electrical plates, lack of basic cleaning, and window treatments hanging askew, if there are any at all. The occupied houses may or may not clue the prospective buyers into existing problems, but they all display livability at some level. When the house comes up short due to an inert seller the realtor shoulders the blame. Realtors have a professional responsibility to motivate sellers to make the property presentable.

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      We try not to make our houses too sterile, by staging all interior rooms, including items that seller might own, including vintage accessories mixed in with the newer items. We try to balance with a more curated look vs looking like a furniture showroom. You are absolutely right about all the flaws standing out in empty homes. Occupied properties, all too often leave thousands of dollars on the table because the sellers don’t want to be inconvenienced, or pay for storage while they have an empty garage. 🤦‍♀️ I tend to focus my business on investors who understand our worth.

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s really more about establishing another functional space. A bar makes sense in many homes. This could easily have been a record cabinet, or simply more storage space.

      Design and staging are actually VERY different things. I’ve been doing this for over 20 years, so I’m pretty comfortable with my skills, especially in this price point, which is also a very diff skill set than hers.

    No need to degrade what other staging companies do just to try to make your staging superior. "Most other staging companies...." Why not just explain what you're going to do and stop pretending you've invented the wheel?

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      Bad stagers ruin the industry. I’ve actually retired, now and what I hear from my customers is that there aren’t any good reliable stagers here anymore. Putting furniture in a house is not staging. Staging is about understanding the demographic most likely to purchase the house and merchandising the house around their wants and needs.
      When an agent hires a bad stager, they don’t necessarily know that it’s because the stager was cheap and doesn’t understand the business. Instead, they say that staging doesn’t work. So, you are wrong. It is important to clarify what good staging is and what bad staging is, or the entire industry degrades. It’s the main reason that it’s not more main stream.

    Great work, great video...but soooo much "word art" my eyes are bleeding. please can this not be a thing anymore?

    • @VintageBeeDesign
      @VintageBeeDesign  ปีที่แล้ว

      I literally had to go watch the video again to respond to this. I was confused because we never carried much “word art”. Almost none of these piece have words. The animal heads in the living room are just black & white heads with lots of white space. Art, in staging, unlike real life, at least in lower end properties, like this, needs to be generic. It should be appropriate for what the buyer, of that property, might buy, but at a minimum can afford. Also, this video is not recent, so trends are changing.
