Know that you don’t know!
Since 2000, Connie Nedergaard lived and learned everything there was to know about staging properties. She staged properties in both the United States and Canada. Projects ranged from owner-occupied, investment properties, as well as, staging for the largest property management company in the United States. With her and her team's talents they successfully staged all amenities on multiple properties throughout Ohio and Indiana. This resulted in increased lease numbers for the properties which made them richly sellable.
“In many respects, Property Staging is still considered a relatively young industry. In the beginning, there weren't a lot of "experts" in the industry, so it was important for Connie to learn and absorb from others that had gone before her.”
Her quest to gain all the necessary tools and knowledge would be key to the development of the PPS© Services business model. Understanding that each Academy and/or school had something relevant to add to her portfolio Connie acquired: The Accredited Staging Professional (ASP); the Master (ASPM); the ASP Course Trainer for Canada; the Canadian Staging Professional (CSP); the CSP Elite Train the trainer designation; the CSP Elite Instructor Certification; she traveled to Minnesota to become educated on Green Living through the Live Green, Live Smart program ultimately securing her certification as an LGLS Facilitator.
Know who the Experts are!
Observe the Experts in your industry, everyone wants to work with or buy from the person who has the reputation, credibility, and knowledge of an expert. An expert is someone that knows their stuff better than anyone else in their field. Why recreate the wheel when you can improve upon it? The proven PPS© tools and processes allow you to be the "Expert" in your industry.
What successes do they share in common?
Our Founder researched staging schools, participated in their programs, and even taught students through those academies. This process allowed her to see the commonalities and differences and the reality that some potential stagers were feeling "lost" after completing the course. With such a passion for the industry, it was important for Connie to help other Stagers realize their dream of a successful business. So she set forth by improving upon what was working and “filled in the blanks” to build an effective Professional Property Staging© business model that was seamless and profitable. For more than a decade, Certified Professional Property Stagers© has been using the PPS© techniques, formulas, and processes and is enjoying a profitable business.
