Dear Reader,

Anyone who has been laid off knows that no job is certain. What is certain is that when you do what you love, success usually follows. If you have a passion for interiors, then we have a step-by-step, business plan for you! Now is a great time to become a professional home stager, prepare your business foundation and launch this spring season...
 

Realtor Partnership Program
 
Tools and resources to make our Agent Partners look GREAT!

No doubt you've seen it, the home that languishes on the market while the neighbor's home sells quickly and easily. Successful agents already know that professional home staging works, but the challenge lies in four things:

Challenge #1 - Convincing the home seller

Challenge #2 - Easily incorporating the staging service into your business

Challenge #3 - Finding a Professional Home Stager you can trust with your listing

Challenge #4 - Cost

An HSR Certified Professional Home Stager offers a 10-page "Staging Partnership Plan" that easily addresses all of those challenges individually, so that we can all work together to sell homes faster and at the best price!

Not only does the Staging Partnership Plan give you hand-outs, resources and video you can send to your home sellers, it offers easy ways to incorporate staging into your listing package, so that you look great!

Featured HSR Members Interviews and Success Stories

I can't say enough about the strength of character, talent and generosity of our HSR Members! I am privileged to be able to keep in contact with all of our members throughout the course of their business and pick their brain about marketing, partnerships, how- to's, wisdom and regrets. I recently interviewed four HSR Veterans whose combined staging experience is over 20 years! Here's some things they had to say...

"I spend about 10 hours prepping to actually stage each house. Currently I average three to four jobs a week. I have been able to decrease the actual time I am in the home because of my prep time. My prep time is my fun time. It is the time I use to focus on the actual house and in some cases fall in love with the house. I have mini love affairs with some of my homes and it is contagious I have caught everyone on my team doing it."
Tamie Ogden of Paisley Home Staging

Letitia Granum of Stage It Today, said this when I asked about her business sucess: "The success of my staging business is due to taking the time to work and network every single day, even when it is slow. HSR helped to guide my direction when I didn't know how to get things rolling. HSR showed very specific areas to work on and ways to get my name out there. As we already know, a person can have a great talent, but if you don't know how or where to market your abilities, your talents will not get noticed."

In our Members Area we have over 35 detailed Veteran Interviews which are encouraging, inspirational and informative. This is just another simple way, HSR and it's members give back to each other!

Professional Home Staging

"The HSR Training is excellent!

I wish I would have trained with HSR when I first started my staging business over one year ago!  I would have paid for the training several times by now with all of the mistakes I have made trying to figure out this business on my own. Audra has made starting a staging business so easy with no guess work."

Peggy Givens
Staging Tulsa

"Audra, I am so impressed with HSR and what a tremendous help it has been to
me. I have been an Interior Decorator for twelve years and thought that
Home Staging and Re-Design would just complement my services. I didn't
realize until I started your program how much I would learn from your
business and marketing expertise. It is so specific and vital! I would
recommend HSR to anyone wanting to enter this business. Do it the right
way - go with HSR!"

Patricia Skelton
East Coast Designs

"The Home Staging Resource Training program is by far the most comprehensive, well thought-out intensive program available. It is without
question the complete and total package with each and every nuance perfectly thought out, enabling you to hit the ground running. From the text and
checklists in each week, to the interactive webinars to the wonderful and high quality marketing solutions package, this is the prime resource and
choice for any serious new stager.  I highly recommend
this program."

Vickie Veloudios
Studio V Staging, Inc.




"We chose Home Staging Resource as our training and certification company
because we were able to conduct the training on-line from the comfort of our
own home, but more importantly, because HSR offered a comprehensive program
that provided not only "certification," but the backend marketing services
and on-going support. In today's competitive market, any company just
starting out has to be able to market their company, products and services
via the internet. Home Staging Resources offered us the ability to get up
and running on the internet quickly, provided the training and certification
for credibility and provided the on-going marketing programs... all for a
minimal investment. We're very happy that we chose HSR and would highly
recommend their services to someone looking to start a Home Staging and
Redesign Company!"

Judi Randall
Owner, C & J Home Staging
HSR Certified Professional
 

"The training materials are "awesome". I am thrilled to have them. Even
though it is taking me much longer to do what is required, I can do them at
my own speed. Hopefully, I will eventually "get there", thanks to you and
your very "efficient" staff. I also have enjoyed watching all the videos as
they put real life into staging. Thanks so much."

Sincerely, Janet Hartwell


"I had spent a lot of time researching home staging programs. There are quite a few out there but none compare to HSR. Once I signed up for the training I was amazed at the wealth of information that was right at my fingertips. If you are uncertain as to whether or not to sign up with HSR I would say to you, don't put it off. You will get more information than you ever imagined possible, as well as, you will receive personal interaction emails from Audra and her staff. I certainly feel I have gotten more than my money's worth. I only wish I would have done this sooner."
Theresa Burba, IN

 "
I am so glad I made the decision to go with the Home Staging Resource for my business training! It has been the missing link to my business. Thanks Audra for your fabulous business."
Kristina, MI
(existing home stager turned  Member)

"Thank you for your passion and commitment to your members and the Home Staging industry. I'm so pleased with the investment I have made in the Home Staging Resource. The training and information I gained are worth every penny I spent. You approach your business with integrity and unselfishness, consistently demonstrating your motto of giving back to your customers. Word of mouth is sometimes the best marketing there is, and you can be assured that I will be singing your praises to anyone that asks."
Michelle Butler, FL

"I've in known in my heart for a long time that I could help realtors
sell homes by just doing a little face lift and giving homes that personal
touch that it needed, but I didn't know how to put my ideas into a business plan until I found Home Staging Resource. On searching the web one day, I discovered Home Staging Resource and found the answers to my many questions and got some direction to my new business and I was thrilled.  The HSR training has given me exactly what I've needed to have a successful business.  You've thought of everything!  I appreciate the personal touch HSR gives to their members. Thank you for having this vision to help others in fulfilling their vision!"
