We have successful Home Stagers who provide eco-consulting services as part of preparing a home for sale. They also use their network of contacts in real estate to provide additional eco-consulting services to new homeowners.

Read what one of our Eco-Consultants who is a Home Stager has to say:

As a Home Stager and one who cares about “going green”, I became a Green Irene Eco-Consultant. Green Irene trains Eco-Consultants who want to “pay forward” green practices and brand themselves in their community providing another stream of income. I do GREEN HOME MAKEOVERS after I have done a Home Staging. It’s a FABULOUS idea, isn’t it?

I have found this to be very well received in our city and state. As a Home Stager, this truly SETS ME APART from the rest. And, it gives me an opportunity to MAKE A DIFFERENCE without compromising my role as a Home Stager.
