I own furniture4staging, a supplier of quality furniture for residential stagers located throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. Wanting to spend more quality time with my family, I left the electronic industry and decided to enter the Real Estate market working for Coldwell Banker.
Unfortunately, my timing was a bit off. As the Real Estate market began its decline, I saw an opportunity in a new and growing market, the Home Staging industry. In 2005, I opened furniture4staging, supplying furniture to a handful of stagers. I now have over 50 homes worth of furniture in homes at any given time and another 10 homes worth stored in a 14,000 sq ft warehouse. As the Real Estate market continued to “tank” and many smaller Home Staging companies were struggling to stay afloat, I saw another opportunity…to “collect” some of these companies and band together to create a larger entity. And that is how Stagers Collective was born. For more info on Stagers Collective go to www.stagerscollective.com.
