     Welcome   to   the  Home  Staging   Institute’s   income  report  card.  Home  staging   is   one   of   the   fastest   expanding   small   businesses   types  because   of   the   speed   and   ease   in   which   people   can   get   up   and  running  (it  can  take  as  little  as  six  weeks).    We  hired  a  data   scientist   to   trawl   the  web*   in  order   to   answer  one  single  question:  What   is   the   typical   hourly   rate   of   a   home   staging  professional  in  cities  across  the  US?    Most  people   are   shocked  when   they  discover   the  hourly   rates   some  home   stagers   charge.   But   shock   soon   turns   to   interest,   and   then   to  excitement,  when  they  learn  more  about  the  courses  the  Institute  has  to  offer.  Crucially,  we  teach  you  how  to  avoid  common  mistakes  like  chasing  after  clients  and  providing  your  services   for   free.  And,  even  better,  we   teach   you  how   to   turn   your   passion   into   something   that  can  make  money!    As   you’ll   discover,   the   report   is   ordered   alphabetically   by   state.  Simply   scroll   down   to   the   one   you   live   in   and   find   your   city   (it  contains  over  three  hundred  of  the   largest  US  cities  as  measured  by  population,  so  there’s  a  good  chance  YOUR  city  is  there).  If  you  don’t  live   in   one   the   cities   reported,   all   you   need   to   do   is   find   the   one  nearest  to  you;  according  to  our  members,  the  rates  tend  to  be  pretty  similar.    To  your  home  staging  success,    The  HSI  Team  J    P.s.  You  can  find  a  list  of  our  courses  here        *The  following  sites  were  scraped  for  this  report:  Craigslist,  Quora,  Indeed,  Wikipedia,  and  more  than  160  home  staging  businesses.  Hourly  rates  were  derived  from  median  income  figures  where  precise  numbers  weren’t  available.
