You’ll hear about Elaine’s unique business model and how she built her successful business from the ground up with a 2-person sales team. I have never really seen home staging businesses have active sales people on staff, so I found this fascinating.
Elaine also shares how she bootstrapped her business using upcycled furniture, why emotional intelligence is a critical skill to have, and how she’s built rewarding relationships with other agents, even landing a formal agreement with an estate agency.
