Professional Home Staging Newsletters & Articles

Using an HSR Certified Professional to redesign and stage your commercial retail space make so much sense, because they are trained in merchandising and designing for many different types of clientele.

Tammy's story is so encouraging because she had a long time dream of entering into the field of decorating and design but didn't know exactly how to do it. She joined HSR just this year and already has seen wonderful growth in her business!

Audra,
I wanted to share my success story with you since I have taken your course and developed my Home Staging and Interior Redesign business.

A friend of mine relocated her Art Gallery to downtown Jasper, AL. I told her I would design her new gallery to offer her a new look for her new location. She was overwhelmed. The renovation took several weeks, and turned out beautifully. As an act of appreciation, she asked if I would like to bring my Home Staging and Redesign office to her Gallery. I accepted and started my office transformation.

During the renovation I had several clients ask for my services. A redesign, jewelry store renovation and a lake house redesign. I had two agents contact me to stage two homes for their clients. I was asked to speak at the Walker County Board of Realtors and Walker County Home Builders Association. As a Certified Home Staging Specialist, I have found that credentials is what it takes to get your name out to the public. We had our Grand Opening this past Saturday. SUCCESS!

Your course offered me a opportunity to pursue a career I have been developing for many years. Knowledge and experience is so valuable when you are trying to educate the public about Home Staging. I refer to your website daily. It gives me confidence that I am going in the right direction with my presentations and services....

Rebecca Wilson of Graceful Designs started her business by following the HSR plan but ended up in a completely different direction then she first imagined:

Dear Audra!
Year two is treating me better than what I imagined! I have been so surprised at the jobs that I have done. I mostly stage for builders that have model homes. I also have had the privilege of doing design consultation for a local builder which I had no idea when I started this business that I would get involved with.

I was able to do two homes for a builder in the local Treasure Valley Spring Show. This was a dream come true job because the blank canvas was beautiful! I was also fortunate enough to land a bid where I stage each home in a subdivision. I basically stage a home and move the furniture from home to home as one sells and another is being built. I also do designing consultations for a local builder, which is so much fun and so exciting to see the home being built!

My most exciting job was modernizing a home and it sold within a week of putting it on the market...
