Home Stagers

You can learn more about home staging by visiting the International Association of Home Staging Professionals (IAHSP) Web site, http://www.iahsp.com, and by reading books and watching videos about the field. Another good way to learn more about the field is to study your own home and think about how you would improve its presentation if your parents decided to put it up for sale. Finally, talk to accredited staging professional (ASP) home stagers about their careers by contacting them through the member directory at the IAHSP Web site or asking your career counselor for help arranging an interview. Suggested interview questions include: What made you want to enter this career? What do you like most and least about your job? How did you train for this field? What are some key skills for success? What advice would you give to young people about preparing for the field and being successful as a home stager? How will advances in technology change the field? Perhaps you could job-shadow a home stager to learn even more about the field. Finally, listen to podcasts about home staging. The IAHSP offers a list of podcasts on its Web site, https://www.iahsp.com/podcasts-home-staging.
