Does this sound familiar to you?
These are just some of the common challenges that many home-staging business owners face. Pair that with unstable real estate agent relationships and a lack of referrals, and you have a recipe for disaster.
But what if I told you there was another way - a way out of the overwhelm, awkwardness, and uncertainty?
What if I told you it is possible to build a profitable income based on a solid foundation of a first-rate owner-occupied staging consultation alone?
Ah - a sigh of relief. I felt that too.
You see, the value of an effective consultation while keeping the seller's time frame and budget in mind is often overlooked.
Many home-stagers believe the key element of a successful home staging business is getting the client to agree to additional services - without understanding the power of the occupied consultation itself.
I’ve been told by many stagers that in order to have a successful business, you must spend hours over detailed staging reports, convincing clients to add more services and make recommendations that you pray they will complete.
"While additional services can surely add to your bottom line, I’m here to say you do not have to depend on them to meet your financial goals."
So what's the solution?
After many years of trial and error, market analysis, and assessing the effectiveness of my client consultations, I’ve developed a pragmatic, systematic approach that allows YOU to provide an outstanding consultation each and every time.
The OCS® framework is based on a unique blend of neuro-marketing research {I call it Neuro-Staging(™)...my own unique system based on brain science!}, effective communication skills, and a client-centered approach.
As a result, you’ll be confident your consultations leave your clients encouraged, empowered, and ready for action.
No more uncomfortable sales gimmicks. No awkward “money talks” and no pressure whether they'll have you come back or not.
"The OCS program has changed my business completely!"
"More often than not, the homeowner starts working on my recommendations while I’m there!"
"Sellers buy-in, they follow through, and my real estate agents are amazed!"
Your empire is being built one consultation at a time.
Hi, I’m Bobbie McGrath,
A home-stager with over 21 years of experience staging over 10,000 individual properties.
A few years ago, I decided to close the vacant side of my business to focus on the occupied side. With lower overhead and a larger potential client pool, I realized my consultation-based business model provided a solid foundation for my company.
I quickly discovered that the process I had designed answered an unmet need within the home staging industry.
I focused my attention on deciphering the many steps needed to create a science-based, results-oriented consultation system that I could share in our industry. Through years of analysis, market research, and figuring out the steps needed to succeed, the Occupied Consultation Specialist ® program was born.

Moving through my unique framework for each consultation, you will navigate how to handle pushback, establish yourself as a knowledgeable expert, and cement strategic connections with key real estate agents.
You will learn how to provide actionable recommendations that will genuinely help to increase your client's sale price, ensuring they feel heard, empowered, and satisfied with the service you have provided - resulting in more referrals for your business.
“Presenting the staging process as a savvy marketing tool and not a judgement of the seller’s taste is key.”
