Dear Reader,

Spring season is upon us and the Home Staging Resource is partnering nationwide with real estate offices and FSBO's to help their homes COMPETE in a Buyers Marketplace...

Home Stagers and Realtors
 
Mutual partnerships that sell homes fast...
A2S Vendor Logo

The Home Staging Resource, the leader in home staging and redesign training has partnered with Assist-2-Sell in order to offer valuable home staging services and solutions to their clients!

HSR's goal is to create valuable, seamless partnerships between real estate agents and professional home stagers, so that homes sell faster and for more money. In fact, we are using this successful partnership between Assist-2-Sell and our HSR Certified Professional Home Stagers as a business model for many other real estate offices across the country.

The benefits to the real estate office are enormous:

  • Allows for a true "Full Service Offering" to clients
  • Gives credibility to the Agent
  • Greatly improves the listing presentation
  • Protects important agent/client relationship
  • Online listing photos are vastly improved
  • More potential "Buyer Traffic" to the home
  • Listing is sold faster and a better price

The benefit to the professional home stager is a trusted partnership with a real estate office that averages 50+listings in many cases.

The program is a win-win and we are already seeing some fantastic results!

Education is key to home staging and selling success and we are here to provide it freely and easily to those who want to stay ahead of the marketplace!


 
Product and Service Solutions for Home Stagers
 
HSR's new "Vendor Connect" program...
 

It's about solutions. HSR is making it easier then ever for vendors to connect with professional home stagers through our Vendor Connect Program. For example, the Home Staging Resource has partnered with one of the largest "to the trade" flooring companies in the US, in order to provide flooring solutions at almost 50% retail cost! HSR Certified home stagers are now able to provide easy and affordable flooring solutions for their home seller clients.

HSR's Member Discount section is growing rapidly because with over 1000 full-time, professional home staging members we have A LOT of buying power on behalf of stagers AND home sellers! We make it easy for Vendors to connect with professional home stagers because our online training model and Members Area is constantly trafficked by our Members and allows them to stay on top of their industry!


 
HSR Certified Home Stagers in the News
 
Los Angeles Times features one of our own...
 

"Michelle Minch, the owner of Pasadena-based Moving Mountains Design & Home Staging, and her crew staged a vacant California-cottage-style home in Silver Lake, finishing up around 5 p.m. on the Thursday before Christmas. She planned on coming back the next day with a few more throw pillows for the window seat, but the listing agent had scheduled three showings for that morning. Before Minch and the extra throw pillows could arrive, the sellers had a full- price offer. Days on market: one -- in what was the slowest December sales market in about a decade. The house sold for $1,442,500 without making it into the Multiple Listing Service."
