Professional Home Stager

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.
 


 


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.



 


It's not about FLUFF but about a FRAMEWORK for success!  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 business in less then two weeks!  There is A LOT to this business and we cover EVERYTHING from A-Z!  We combine over three weeks worth of BUSINESS and STAGING/REDESIGN "HOW TO"
See Members Area Video.



 


We CONNECT Members online and locally for mentorship's, hands-on training & continuous education through local chapters
We provide a FREE membership to the American Society of Home Stagers and Redesigners (www.ASHSR.com) when you join the Home Staging Resource.  We also have an EXTENSIVE Members Forum and live chat sessions where you can ask any question and receive immediate answers.



 


We PARTNER with our Members by providing CONTINUOUS EDUCATION & ONGOING SUPPORT

There is no need for expensive travel when everything you need to start a successful home staging business is at your fingertips in our EXTENSIVE Members Area.  Bring us your natural decorating talent and we'll show you how to start, operate and market a successful home staging business.



 


We ARE the #1 MOST trafficked Staging Website on the Internet
Others make this claim but according to Alexa (www.alexa.com), an independent traffic ranking company we blow doors on the competition!  Most of our traffic is in the form of agents, sellers and builders searching our Directory looking for YOU.



 


We spend a week teaching you ADVANCED INTERNET MARKETING
We provide ongoing, interactive webinars where Audra Slinkey, a professional stager, International speaker, published author and Fortune 500 trainer on advanced Internet research and marketing, teaches you her secrets to being FOUND online.  We want your clients to find you and call you, NOT you doing the cold calling! 



 


We FOSTER an environment of sharing, generosity and support
Our Members work together to enhance the industry and client deliverables because we believe in uniting the home staging industry.  We have an extensive "Veteran Interview" and "Tales from the Trenches" section in our Members Area where Members learn and are encouraged by each other.



 


We provide a WEBSITE for your business
While others may give you a "web page" on their site littered with their company information, we know it's CRITICAL for you to stand alone professionally and beautifully as a business.  We make you look good by giving you a stand alone domain ie. www.yourcompany.com and website that is clean, professional and image conscious.  See examples.



 


We provide MATCHING MARKETING MATERIALS for your business
We offer over 25 styles for you to INSTANTLY order business cards, post cards, letterhead, brochures, "Thank You" cards, magnetic car signs, etc.  We want you to focus on building the success of your business, not spending hours in marketing/website creation mode.  See examples.



 


We provide over 65 FORMS in Word and three 10+page "Client Action Plans," so you are never "REINVENTING the wheel"
There is nothing worse then staring at a blank piece of paper as you prepare a letter, sales sheet, process, checklist or Client Action Plan!  We provide you ALL the home staging specific forms, guides and presentational products you will need for your business and then some.  While others may provide generic, PDF forms at charge or no forms at all!



 


We provide the largest MEMBER DISCOUNT list in the Industry
We have over 50 vendors who offer our Members special discounts on their products and services.  Our "Vendor Connect" program makes it easy for our Members to develop discounts and relationships with vendors nationwide because each member represents over 1500 others and has a direct line to our Vendor Connection program.



 


We provide a BUSINESS PLAN that WORKS for your business
Similar to a franchise, we provide a very specific way of operating your business that works.  We provide a platform on which you can launch your business that makes sense, is simple to follow and leads to success.  No other training provider gives you this specific frame work on which to operate.  NOTE - We are NOT a franchise, so you have complete freedom!



 


We provide a MARKETING PLAN that WORKS for your business
We use a five-step process when it comes to building a marketing plan that works!  Each step is completely detailed in our Members Training Area and allows you to efficiently and inexpensively market your business to your target markets.  We even provide sample wording and scripts for you to follow!



 


Our Members LOVE US & you'll see why when you join
We have over 150 Member testimonials on our website and over 300 more in the works because we OVER DELIVER and EXCEED EXPECTATIONS.  Don't take our word for it, contact any one of our Members in our DirectorySee Testimonials.



 


We represent over 1500 Home Staging Professionals with a RETENTION/SUCCESS rate of over 80%!
Our Membership of home staging and redesign professionals is growing daily, as well as renewing yearly!  For every 10 people who graduate from our program, 8 will renew their membership at the year mark!  That is an amazing success and retention rate!  We stand by our Members success!



 


We've "THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING" so you can focus on one thing...your business goals
We interview each and every Member to make sure we are delivering EVERYTHING they need for their business and the majority proclaim that "HSR has thought of everything!"



 


What you see is what you get...if you like the front of our website, then you'll LOVE the Members Area
There are tons of "quick and dirty" staging training websites and e-books cropping up, so BUYER BEWARE!  Usually if the website looks unprofessional/homemade the materials will be the same, so be very critical of what you see as not all training providers are the same!



 


We provide a 250+ page Training Manual for you to instantly access
Our Training Manual works in conjunction with our online Members Training Area to provide you the MOST extensive training in the industry.  Our "Marketing Section" is over 40 pages alone!



 


We provide VIDEO LINKS & Tools for you to educate your clients
We are firm 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 one low cost.  Other training programs nickel and dime you by charging extra for each form, to be in their directory, Association or even take part in their Forum!  We provide ALL of the above and more for under $1440!  If you don't need a website/marketing materials it's less then $1000, so go to our training purchase page to get the full details...




You will LOVE this industry!  In the over 1500 professional home stagers and redesignersthat I have personally mentored I have never heard any regrets about entering the industry.  Overwhelmingly,  people are excited about following a life-long passion into a career that is both rewarding and fulfilling!

Make no mistake, it's hard work starting a business, but that's what we are here for...to walk with you every step of the way."

Warm Regards,
Audra Slinkey

Testimonials

Why Our Members Chose Us...

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 Greengross

 

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 Straughan
 

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.
