Online Home Staging class specifically geared towards Real Estate Professionals.

Andy Capelluto & The Power of Staging®

With a long, strong background in both teaching and interior design, Andy Capelluto acknowledges that she was born with a 'good eye.'  Her passion to decorate homes began in her childhood and her natural flair has won her numerous awards.  With her high energy and creative spirit, she traveled the world for 17 years in her own successful business sourcing, designing and buying furniture and decorative accessories.  As a 'trade only' supplier to designers and decorators, her pieces grace many of the top hotels and residences around the world.  Her magnificent showrooms were renowned both in South Africa and at the Seattle Design Center - And so with an exciting inventory on hand, she was lured into staging by a friend who was a real estate agent.  A staging business was born!

After speaking at the John L Scott Convention in 2004 - She wrote her first staging course for continuing education in Washington State.  Her skills as a teacher paid off as Andy became a certified instructor, and opened a Staging School certified by the Department of Licensing.  She has spent the last 4 years teaching clock hour classes to realtors.  Her enthusiasm as a staging teacher is palpable and she inspires and empowers everyone who participates in the well structured and highly informative class.  www.InternationalSchoolOfStaging.com

She firmly believes that to some degree, every home listed needs to be staged.  As not every home warrants the work of a professional stager, THE POWER OF STAGING focuses on the agent guiding the seller as to what needs to be done to best present homes for sale.

Rave reviews

 

Oh my gosh!! The course was excellent! It was done so professionally and yet down to earth.  I felt so comfortable to speak up and give my input and questions.  The instructor was so knowledgeable and presented the course in such a way that I can actually apply it to my everyday work with clients. This course has to be the most fun I have ever had! Thank you for offering it in my area.

What a great course to take.  I learned so much having so much fun. My instructor was the best.  His presentation was absolutely incredible.  I will use what I learned not only in my business, but also in my own personal life.  I find that I look at everything in a different way now.  I'm always looking to see how things are "staged".

I attended a School of Staging course and was very pleased to see that it involved real-world practical application as well as wonderful time saving tips. We regularly get outstanding responses from sellers and buyers alike on our staging techniques and these translate to “SOLD” signs for our clients.

Your ability to stage and more importantly, your ability to work with and communicate with Sellers to achieve the desired result is Fantastic! The proof is in the quick sale at a very good price!

I will definitely continue to seek your staging counsel for my future listings, just as I have for the past 7 years.

Your class at First American in Sumner on Wednesday was great! The materials and class content were of interest, and your skills at engaging the class were great too! I so appreciate the time you shared with me and I’m glad I had the opportunity to meet you-

Excellent job, I was afraid it might be boring – but lots of pertinent information was showed.  Loved the course!  Thank you…

I was able to stage three listings since taking the course. One of the properties had been on the market for almost a year and I received an offer within a week of finishing the staging.

I have watched many HGTV programs and read many articles, but didn't have a clear vision or the confidence to offer "professional" advice to my clients. I have applied techniques I learned on three properties so far. An investment property I owned sold within a month of staging it - I was only in the middle of the course! The second listing I recently took has been getting plenty of activity, and the third is scheduled to close in 30 days.

The home-staging information was excellent, presented in a manner that was easy to learn and apply. It was the best real estate course I have taken, and the staging techniques provide a major benefit for my clients, separating me from every other Realtor® in my market. I am offering a service that "staging consultants" are charging hundreds of dollars for, a very tangible value I can bring to my sellers.

As a result of having taken the course, I have landed two listings. Most recently, yesterday I got a listing and the owner is implementing my ideas before beginning to show.

Like most education, it isn't worth much if you can't apply it. I came away with knowledge that could be used the very first day. I work in a market that demands all the tools you can bring, and home staging is an absolute must. It was an immediate success. I showed one of my own listings and sold the home. The clients asked if this home had been staged. People recognize that something is different. I am a believer in education for anyone who is serious about being in real estate.

I really liked the way the information was provided through the online images. 

I have just recently received my real estate license and have not had the chance to use this tool yet but I think it is very important to have something that makes you different from the countless agents out there! And home staging is such a great idea!

Becoming an accredited home staging specialist allows me to market myself as a knowledgeable real estate agent, another notch to set myself apart from the average agent. This designation lets my clients know that I am qualified to assist them in staging their home. And a staged home usually sells in less time than an unstaged home...

We followed your advice and our house sold this weekend. We were so pleased with the advice you gave us we went to work on it right away. You did a great job studying our home from the pictures on the Windwemere site.

We implemented your suggestions and we received great reviews from buyers and agents. More importantly we received a non-contingent offer and accepted it.
