This career is not for the 'faint of heart' or the person who is looking for a 'part-time' career; it takes a tremendous amount of time and effort. You have to deal with realtors, who still are not completely sold on the idea of 'staging a house to sell', and you have to deal with the Seller who does not want to invest money in order to make money! How I wish it were as simple as being able to use your 'gift' of design-styling; however this business takes much time to market and a lot of business acumen. I also disagree that you need to have a large inventory of furnishings in order to 'stage' vacant houses - there are many national furniture rental companies that provide exceptional-quality furnishings. The 'trick' is being 'seasoned enough' to know how to 'sell' the Seller on why they need to invest money in order to make money.
