Realtors Who Want Staging Certification - Consider HSR

By
Home Stager with Jenifer Laurie

I just have to say that Home Staging Resource has far exceded my expectations.  I considered many staging training companies and finally decided to go with HSR, because I felt like a 21 day training period would teach me more than a 3 day one.  I did learn a great deal during that time, but now I am constantly amazed at how much information they still provide for their stagers.  Every time I need a form, or have a question about something, I visit the HSR library and find it.  There is a wealth of information there, so much so, that I still haven't read it all.  And it is continually updated.  Audra is very dedicated to the success of her students, and stays in contact with you.  I feel like I have a safety net with HSR - if any situations arrive that I do not know how to handle, I feel like I will find the information I need there.  I would encourage anyone considering staging training to check out this program, www.homestagingresource.com .

Jenifer - this is good stuff.  I went to check out the web site and bookmarked it so I could take a closer look at it later on.  I'm not sure about how it works in your area, but in Humboldt County CA stagers haven't really taken off here.  Sellers just are willing to pay for the service.  Personally I would rather work with a separate stager to help sellers prepare their homes for market, but in this case it doesn't hurt to educate yourself on staging approaches.  I do think one has to have a creative eye for interior design and staging.  Not every Realtor in my opinion would has an eye for this kind of stuff.

Can they give you a link so that when you send someone there and they make a purchase, you make a commission?
