Welcome to episode #91 of Home Stagers and Designers on Fire. In this episode I interview Jodie Evans of Envision Staging and Design in Austin,Texas.

Jodie started her staging business in 2017 and has pivoted into residential and commercial design targeting multi family property management groups. Her specialty is providing luxurious model apartments, working community areas as well as outdoor rooftop lounges and leasing offices.


In this episode you will learn:

How Jodie won the business from Property Managers and Regional Managers for a large property Management Company

Different services you can offer for model apartments

How Jodie does “refreshes” for model apartments when they are on a budget

Why doing apartment models is easier than residential design

Why Jodie charges a flat fee for her services and how she determines her pricing

Jodie’s advice for Home Stagers/ Designers who would like to add model apartments to their business model

The software Jodie uses for design boards and how she uses them as part of her process
