The core of the Home Staging Resource mission statement is to educate the public, "so that every home is professionally staged."

We are extremely proud to announce the launch of the American Society of Home Stagers and Redesigners (ASHSR)! Professionals are gathering together across the country to educate, share, unite and pioneer the staging and redesign industry. ASHSR is open to ALL professional home stagers and redesigners and already has over 50 chapters across the country!

All professionals are WELCOME to attend one of the many Chapter meetings to see if this is something they want to take part in, so please go to www.ASHSR.com for more information!

Take a peak at what's inside our Training Member's Area! This video is what HSR Certified Members watch the moment they pay for training, and it details EXACTLY what their three weeks will look like.

The HSR Certification training is the most comprehensive and longest training available because it is ongoing and taps Home Staging and Redesign Professionals into what is WORKING in their industry.

I've always said that "professional home staging is not rocket science but PURE economics...improve upon a product and the demand thus price goes up." Now HomeGain has reinforced my words with statistics of their own!

According to a HomeGain survey of over 2000 real estate agents, nationwide Professional Home Staging gives a 343% average return on a typical $500 investment.

I get emails daily about how the HSR Directory is constantly connecting agents/home sellers with our HSR Certified Stagers, but lately the directory has connected local media with some fantastic news stories...

**CBS Television found our veteran HSR Certified Member, Carolyn Walter of Sold on Design in the HSR Directory and boy did she have a terrific story to tell!
See her CBS Video and townhome transformation...

**A veteran stager already, Diane Bretanha of Home Appeal Staging took a chance and signed up with HSR and here is her story...

"The day after I joined HSR, I recieved an email for a staging consultation as a result of this client finding me thru HSR. That's not all....today I recieved a call from RI Monthly, a very popular top notch Rhode Island magazine, that wants to do a story on Home Staging. Again, when I asked how they found me, she said she came across my website thru HSR's Directory! As I mentioned in my getting to know you questionnaire, I have been staging homes in RI for 2 years and I truly really feel HSR's internet presence and fantastic program is just what my business needed so I can be a greater success!"

**Sue Guidry, a veteran HSR Certified Home Stager and Chapter President of ASHSR staged a home that sold in 10 days in a bidding war between 3 buyers! See her gorgeous project...

**When HSR was asked to give before-and-after photos to Chesapeake Home, a high- end Mid-Atlantic House and Garden Magazine, we gladly sent them some amazing transformations of our HSR Certified Home Stagers! Robin Rosen of Stageffect is featured prominently in their March issue.

**Jannet Bormann of Montana Home Staging transforms a home that was SITTING for 12 months into SELLING in 4 weeks! See her transformation...

I could go on and on about the amazing success stories that HSR Certified Home Stagers give me daily, so if you're a real estate agent go to our Directory and partner with an extensively trained staging professional.

If you're a media contact looking for a GREAT story, go to our Directory and ask a stager for one!
