Staged and Sold

Another HSR Member Success Story...

Hi Audra-
I wanted to share this staging job with you. The house is in Del Mar, but the owner lives in Northern California and had cleaned up the house after her Mom passed away.  It has been for sale for 6 months and had two offers from "flippers" offering $100k less than the asking price.  She had already done a ton of work to the house and was fairly sensitive about what needed to be done for staging.  I completed a Staging Report for her and she decided to go ahead and stage the home. Sure enough, the home just went into escrow not even two weeks after staging!

I couldn't have done this without the home staging training that I received from the Home Staging Resource. My husband wrote me the best note ever, which said how proud he was of me with the way I managed the project coordinating vendors, installers, contracts, staging, etc. I told him that the training that I received from HSR was invaluable in helping me move ahead. I am so excited in looking forward to my full career of staging and helping home owners with the stress of the selling their home.

Here is the before-and-after photo show of the home:

Keep in mind that she didn't want to have to purchase much of anything and there wasn't much in the house. I did convince her to buy some living room furniture, paint the kitchen cabinets, and get new blinds. The rest of the items were things we gathered from other areas of the house or things I had on hand in inventory -- which isn't much on both sides because the house didn't have much, and with me being new, I don't have that much either. 

The best part about the whole thing is that I feel like I helped someone who needed it. The owner is taking care of her Mom's estate and the house is a part of that estate. She is having to do everything herself, even though there are other siblings who will receive proceeds from the estate. She was a little overwhelmed, and I feel like I was able to help take some of the burden off of her by coordinating the painting, carpet and furniture, and ordering new shades for her (not installed yet in the photos). 

Thanks for all your support,

Testimonials

The Home Staging Resources certification program has been a tremendous help to me in getting my new business up and running. I don't know what I would have done without all the online training and consultation videos and demonstrations of actual home staging days. The sample forms are an incredible asset in assisting new home stagers like myself make a good first impression on home sellers and realtors. I am looking forward to completing the program and wowing the Portland, Oregon real estate market in the months to come with the skills and marketing assistance I received during the course. Thank you Audra!"

After researching a number of different staging training sites, I decided to join Home Staging Resource.  This training is by far the most comprehensive offered.  Not only does it give you practical advice on staging homes, but the in depth business training in invaluable.  The program is laid out in such a way that even a novice business owner can navigate their way through without difficulty.  I would highly recommend the HSR Training Program for anyone interested in opening a business staging homes.  The cost associated with this training is very reasonable especially in light of the marketing materials and advice that is offered with the membership.
