What Does a Home Staging Assistant Do?
A home staging assistant helps prepare a house for real estate showings. Your duties include improving the interior design of homes. Many staging assistants work with vacant or model homes, but you can also assist home sellers who are still living in their home as they try to sell it. You increase a home’s attractiveness by changing furniture placement, adding lighting, or helping to declutter the living space. Your responsibilities can include working on commercial buildings or model rental units as well. In existing homes, you can help load boxes and store furniture to achieve the desired decluttered appearance.
How to Become a Home Staging Assistant
The qualifications that you need to become a home staging assistant include a high school diploma and interior design skills. Some employers prefer home staging professionals with a postsecondary certificate or degree in interior design. Community colleges and continuing education programs offer workshops and certificate programs that focus on home staging. You also need to have a car for this job since you may travel to several different sites during a workday. You also need to have the physical strength to move and lift furniture, load boxes, and perform occasional cleaning or painting duties.
