20 Reasons to Choose HSR...
We know that it's VERY confusing when deciding
on where to spend your training dollars, so we've created a list of
things that makes the Home Staging Resource (HSR) Certification
program stand-out from our competition. We also have a
quick training review video explaining our training difference,
as well as showing you what our Members Area looks like.
We've seen lots of "fly-by-night" training companies come and go, so
do your research and make sure to contact those who have trained
with the company you are considering joining! Contact any of
our member in our
Directory for a strong recommendation of the
HSR Certified Staging Training!
 |
Another great reason to choose HSR as your trainer of
choice! The Home Staging Resource was the first truly, Accredited Home Staging Training Provider by an
independent, third-party who has audited our training (the
Real Estate Staging Association). |
|

|
It's about YOUR BUSINESS...not ours
We put our Members first in
everything we do because we want YOU to be successful!
Our "Directory of Stagers" is all over our website in order
to drive clients YOUR way on an ongoing basis. We have
no unhappy clients and our rating with the BBB is
impeccable! Never choose a training provider who
doesn't at least have a directory for their members! |
|

|
It's not about FLUFF but about a FRAMEWORK for success in
BOTH Staging and Redesign!
We offer over THREE WEEKS worth of training materials
that delivers...
We honestly don't know
how you could teach someone to start a successful home
staging and redesign business in less then two weeks!
Other trainers only cover staging or charge separate for
redesign but we cover EVERYTHING from A-Z!
We combine over three weeks worth of
BUSINESS and
STAGING/REDESIGN "HOW TO".

There are tons of
"quick and dirty" staging training websites and e-books

same, so be very critical of what you see as not all
training providers are the same! |

believers in "permission marketing" where if you want
something from a client ie time, then give them something of
value in return. We do this for you by providing video
presentation links for you to send to prospects to educate
them on a Staging Days and/or Transformations. We are
in a VISUAL industry, so these tools work! |

We provide EVERYTHING at ONE LOW TRAINING PRICE
We position your
business for success by providing everything you'll need, at

$1000, so go to our training

Testimonials
Why Our Members Chose Us...
Fantastic!
Superb! Outstanding! Those are just a few words that
describe the training provided by HSR. As a former Franchise
Business Coach, I cannot begin to tell you how effective,
concise, and easy to follow your program is. You truly
provide everything a new business owner needs in order to
succeed in this business. The wide range of resources such
as an array of customizable forms, great marketing tips &
materials, and in-depth design modules on "how-to" properly
stage a home, is invaluable. The customer service provided
by your staff and your informational yet entertaining
webinars also play a vital role in our success. I have
already begun recommending HSR to several people! Thank you
for providing such a wonderful program!

Audra, I
cannot put into words how passionate I am about this new
career path for me. Thank you for helping make my dream
become reality.
Angie Travis
Business is
booming and I just completed my first vacant home staging!
They found me on the internet! Thanks so much for the great
marketing styles and materials-- they are so professional
and attractive! I also have received many compliments on
our website. I've been told it's beautiful, user-friendly,
and again-- very professional.
Thanks again
for all you do to help us be successful!
Michele Rose
-Rose-Colored Staging
Thanks. We
could never have done as much as we have without your
materials, guidance, and encouragement. It's wonderful to go
forward in your footsteps.
Laurie
Calhoun -Gloria Home Staging
You did
everything superbly! The training, the forms so I didn't
have to reinvent the wheel, the website, online sessions. I
don't know what more you could do. I would definitely
recommend the course to anyone who would like to do staging
with the highest praise.
Ruth

HSR considers you a professional at the onset. It
anticipates almost every situation and question and provides
avenues for additional solutions. The comfort level is very
high. I did a fair amount of research before choosing HSR
and I felt it sincerely wished to give the best training on
the internet. HSR was a resource I would have chosen if I
were seeking a home stager. It credibility and reliability
is reflected in its style and presentation.
Mary Hammatt
One of your
best features is being able to reach you and having the
opportunity to talk live on the computer. The other great
aspect is your reassurance that it doesn't have to be done
in any particular time frame and that we are encouraged to
go through the process at our own pace. If you didn't have
this I might have put even more pressure on myself and made
some decisions that I wasn't ready to, therefore creating
mistakes. I would highly recommend HSR to anyone who is
interesting in joining this field. I feel that even though
this has taken me longer than three weeks I have in essence
saved myself a lot of time from not learning the hard way or
trying to reinvent the wheel. That alone makes it worth
signing up for the program.
Sherry Gold
The HSR
Training program has been AMAZING! This company has thought
of everything. The organization of all the materials that
you need are at your fingertips to use! I feel very well
educated not only as professional Home Stager, but as a
business owner. I highly recommend getting certified via
HSR!
Heidi

Joining Home
Staging Resource was a tough decision - but it turned out to
be a brilliant one! I had gone to the website many times
trying to decide and on a whim, decided to take the plunge.
My business was up and going within a month because of what
I learned not to mention the materials HSR provided. I
received a call/lead from the HSR directory the very first
week. I put a deposit down on office space not because
the money is rolling in but because of the confidence and
knowledge that HSR gave me. Thank you!
Angela Mager
HSR stood
out among what other sites had to offer. Most sites offered
a 1 or 2 day program, if you compare that to HSR's 21 day
program there is no contest. I also liked the professional
attitude and desire by HSR to bring professional credibility
to the Home Staging profession.
Sarah Hart
We almost
made the leap to an $1800 dollar 3-day seminar (I'm sure
you know which one), and decided to do some more research. Once
we did, we found you and had what we were looking for
(knowledge, info, forms, continuing education, marketing
materials, and taste). The appearance of your work and
website was much more up-to-date and professional!
Angi Furr
I also like
your directory, I received a call the day after I signed up
from an agent in my area who had a vacant home he needed
staged.
Lisja
Doucette
I've spent
today downloading and reviewing all the materials on the HSR
site. I think I've gone through a ream of paper so far.
With every page I review I think "this is what I do or use
or envisioned" AND "I wish HSR was
around when
I started my business"! I worked for 3 months straight
preparing the infrastructure of my business in the winter of
2001 so that I could launch with a professional face.
You've thought of everything, and more, than I did.
