Welcome to episode #84 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. In this episode I discuss how to add Short Term Rentals to your Home Staging or Interior Design menus with my special guest Amy Powers. Amy has been an award-winning Stager and industry leader since 2007. She is also a trailblazer in the Short-Term Rental Staging and Design industry with her courses and expertise in staging nationwide. In 2022, after 15 years of home staging, Amy put down her warehouse keys and started vacation rental design full-time, making about 20K per month with very little overhead. Amy now spends her time traveling nationwide doing STR design and installation.
In this episode you will learn:
What prompted Amy to change her business model from staging to short term rentals
The difference between staging a home for sale and designing a short term rental
Who Amy’s ideal client is and how she gets their business
What an “experience destination” is and what to consider when doing a STR for this type of home
What types of packages Amy offers for STR
What software and resources Amy uses to execute her design for STR
