Stylists versus real estate agents—it’s not a boxing match but a partnership, so why the adversarial relationship? Plenty of students here at the International Institute of Home Staging are scared of real estate agents. They’re scared of them for a number of reasons, primarily because they can be intimidating, but also because agents have a lot of power when it comes to engaging a home stager or property stylist.

This is one of the most asked questions we get at IIHS. This topic is covered in depth in our Art of Home Staging course and our live training calls.

From the work I have done with students at IIHS, I have noticed there are some common blocks that home stagers are facing when working out their pricing. This is what I hear students and clients I mentor saying: I am not experienced enough to charge ‘decent’ money. What if no one pays it? If I charge too much I will never get work. I need to work for free until I get a nam ..read more

Writing a professional biography can be difficult for anyone, let alone for someone who has never written one before. It is super important to make sure that you are writing your biography correctly, and including the right information for the purpose of the biography.

International Institute Of Home Staging
by Naomi

Despite the name, bidding wars aren’t a bad thing when selling your property. A bidding war is when two potential buyers keep upping their purchase price because they both want the property.
