You're allowed to build your business differently than everyone else.

Big warehouse, full inventory? Great, if that's what you want. Lean, consult-only, no storage unit in sight? Also great, if that's what you want.

Neither one makes you more legit. The only question that matters is: does it actually work for your life?

She didn’t get a shopping list. She got a to-do list.

I love a consult where the client is ready to do what it takes to get her home ready for the market. And today was one of those days.

Everything we needed was already in her home. It just wasn’t in the right place for staging yet.

Here’s what we did (or what I recommended and she’ll do soon):

1. Rearranged the living room furniture to open up the room.
2. Edited out the TV and stand, two bookcases, a storage tower, and a mini stool.
3. Swapped two small art pieces above the fireplace for one bigger piece that works as a real focal point.
4. Moved a tree from the primary bedroom into the empty spot where the storage tower was.
5. Traded two bright, personalized art pieces in the kitchen for a neutral piece from the hallway.
6. Reused those two small fireplace pieces in the primary bedroom.
7. Edited a chest, a vanity, and extra storage, then turned the vanity chair and that little stool into a reading corner. Yes, she has work to do. Patching holes, touching up paint, decluttering, pre-packing. But most of it is removing things that are fine for living, just not great for staging.

That’s the whole formula. Remove the extra. Rearrange what’s left. Put the art where it matters.

I can’t wait to see the listing photos. That’s always my favorite part! P.S. The donkey in the photo? Absolutely adorable. Also absolutely getting packed. 🫏.

Thanks for having me, Sacramento!

Stagers are really good at clearing the clutter for everyone else.

Today I got to spend time with the RESA Sacramento Chapter , walking through Clarity in Action.

Here’s the funny thing about our industry. We make a living helping sellers decide what stays and what goes. But in our own businesses? We keep everything. Every idea, every offer, every “maybe someday.” (Maybe it’s just me that does that!!)

So today we staged our businesses instead. We looked at the season we’re actually in and chose one focus for the next 90 days. Just one.

Thank you, RESA Sacramento, for having me. Such a thoughtful group, and so many good questions.

If your business could use a little decluttering too, come hang out in The Stager’s Clarity Lounge and grab Clarity in Action in the classroom. Link in bio or comment LOUNGE and I’ll send it to you.

Not every stager needs a warehouse full of furniture.

This is what my desktop looks like right now. Ideas everywhere, building something I wish I’d had years ago.

I built my staging business consultation-only from day one. No truck, no storage unit, no inventory. But there was no roadmap for doing it that way. Everything out there assumed you’d eventually want the furniture. I didn’t. And honestly, I know a lot of you don’t either.

So I’m building that roadmap. It’s for the stager who wants to lead with expertise, not inventory. The one who wants agents calling because you know how to get a listing ready, without hauling a sofa up three flights of stairs.

The first piece is free. The Stager’s First Move shows you where to start when you’re building a consultation-based staging business. After you grab it, a few bonuses will land in your inbox too.

It’s at the link in my bio. simplifiedstager.com

One step at a time. That’s kind of the whole idea.

Cart closes tonight at midnight.

I haven’t talked about this directly yet, but I’m excited to introduce The Simplified Stager Method! It was officially introduced in a webinar a couple weeks ago, and has received mentions since then, but it is open for enrollment, and it closes tonight.

It’s a 12-week program for stagers who want to build a lean, consultation-based business, no warehouse, no truck, no inventory. Three pillars: building trust without a truck full of furniture, the actual systems (pricing, booking, client experience), and letting go of comparing your business to someone else’s model.

You get live group calls three times a month, my own templates and scripts, and a community of stagers doing this alongside you.

Beta members get lifetime access and 5 additional bonuses.

We start Monday. If this has been sitting in the back of your mind since the workshop or since any of my videos this week, tonight’s the night to decide.

Link in bio. I’ll answer questions in the comments or DMs all day.

Pinch me. 🥹

I’m live on Home Staging TV with Tori Toth today, talking about how I built a staging business with zero inventory, no warehouse, no truck, no storage unit.

We’re getting into how the business actually works, pricing, how to start right after certification, and a first look at Simplified Stager, the program I built for stagers who want to go lean from day one.

🔴 LIVE today at 5pm MT. Bring your questions, Tori’s taking them live. Comment LIVE and I’ll send you the link.

Still kind of can’t believe this is happening. 🌿💕

A staged home isn’t a decorated home.
It’s a home where the distractions have been removed so a buyer can see themselves living there. That’s it. Not making it prettier, making it easier to imagine.
Every recommendation I make comes back to that one filter: does this help a buyer see themselves here, or does it just look nice.
