Dear Audra...
I just wanted to say Thank you for offering such
a wonderful program. I have learned so much and the
live training sessions are so wonderful. I am so
excited about my business and this course have given
me the tools to get it up and going in an organized
manner. Without this program, I honestly don't know
if I would have followed my dream. I have read many
books and taken other courses and they all left me
with so many unanswered questions. Your training has
put me on the right path and I honestly cannot thank
you enough. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is
considering starting their own staging business. It
is worth every penny. You are awesome!!!!
Thanks sooooo much,
Chrissie Sutherland
Ready Set Stage Wow! What a
phenomenal program HSR has to offer! All of
the learning materials and everything set up
step-by-step to follow at your convenience. I truly
feel that taking the HSR program has given me the
best foundation possible to be a successful business
women. With all of the support of HSR, on going
partnerships being built and gorgeous marketing
materials it now is easy for me to just start
putting my name out there and making contacts. With
in two weeks of finishing the program I have already
staged my first vacant property and will be
attending the Realtor luncheon scheduled for next
week. Having the opportunity to meet other Realtors
and showcase my work couldn't be better and I am so
proud to be able to give them my business cards and
handouts that are beautiful thanks to HSR.
Sincerely,
Nicole Utz 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, Provident Home Staging, Fishers,
Indiana Thanks so much Audra!
The training I received from HSR was so complete
that I now feel ready to take on the challenges of
my new career!
I had researched other companies and thought I knew
the scope of education I was looking for, but with
Home Staging Resource I learned valuable things that
I couldn't have imagined I needed for my business. I
believe if I had chosen a different training program
I would have really missed out on the extensive
information and company wide support that HSR
offers. You have promoted a welcoming, friendly
environment of sharing and I couldn't be happier
with my decision to join the Home Staging Resource!

When I started the process of choosing a Home
Staging Certification program I researched
everything! After narrowing it down to two programs,
I sent emails to some of the members. Within 24
hours I knew I had made my decision and I have not
been disappointed since. Your training provides REAL
tools to be successful in this business. The
materials are clear and easy to understand, your
conference sessions are great and your enthusiasm is
catching. I received my marketing materials in the
mail last week and they are beautiful. I am so
excited to be starting this new venture in my life,
THANK YOU.

This is an
Amazing Program! I got my Realtor License years ago
and I wish they had had such a comprehensive and
informative guide in the start up of being a new
business owner! As a stager I knew what I wanted to
do I just didn’t have the tools or the knowledge to
get there. HSR gave me the plan-a detailed list- to
get it done so I could focus on doing the job I
love...The Action Plans and form information is
priceless! It put everything I thought I wanted to
say to my customers in a form for me so I didn’t
have to spend days forming it. It was already done!

Your training program is awesome. As a mother of
4 & 3, we needed a program that would allow us to go
at our own pace. We ordered our material right after
the holidays and completed the training by the end
of January. Our business is building and to date we
have staged two homes and two redesigns. Currently
we are in the planning process of two redesigns. All
of your marketing information has been very
instrumental in getting our name out in the DFW
area. It is comforting to know that we have Home
Staging Resources behind us to guide us through our
business. Thanks for continually keeping us up to
date on the new home staging trends.

Training is perfect for an artist such as I who has
always felt inadequate with the business side of
work. I've known that those skills with a creative
talent could open jobs that paid better, but I did
not even know where to begin to learn or apply them.
I have seen this dilemma with a lot of artists over
the years. The HSR program truly speaks to
people who think like myself. I have learn so much
with your easy, step by step manual and website
tools. My gained knowledge will be life
changing! Thanks so much!

After doing some research in
Home Staging courses, I found the HSR training
program and I cannot be more happy. This training
program provided me with all the support, training
and communication that I was looking for in a
program. It turned out to be one of the most
complete and informative online training programs I
have come across. It has not only provided me with
an in depth knowledge on home staging but has also
expedited the start of my business with the pre-made
forms, marketing tools and strategies. I am now
ready to start my own business (which I didn't
believe was possible at first) in just 1 month. I
cannot thank you, Audra, enough on this awesome
training program with the marketing solutions. I can
honestly say, "I got what I paid for" and I am very
excited to finally do what I passionately love and
enjoy. Thank you again Audra, it was well worth it
for me and I'm sure it will be for anyone else who
decides to choose HSR as their training program.

business the initial start-up period can
be somewhat daunting. However, through HSR training
we were given numerous
resources including on demand videos, conference
calls, and published
materials which provided us with an extensive
background of what this
business entails.

My experience with HSR has been
awesome! I can truly say that training with HSR was
one of the best choices I have ever made. Not only
have you provided me with the tools, guidance and
support needed to become a successful business
woman, but you have helped me to start living my
dream and passion! I would highly recommend Home
Staging Resource to anyone who has interest in Home
Staging. Keep up the great work HSR and thank you!

WOW! I have just been blown away by all of the
support, information, personal training, and
abundance of pre-made forms that the HSR training
comes with. It is literally a complete business
that is so simple to establish. Having owned a
business before I know first hand how long it took
just to create all the forms I needed to get my
business up and running and you have really taken
that task and removed it so that I could concentrate
on the training and marketing (which you have also
made simple). I haven't even finished my
training yet, and I am already working! I
can't wait to see my website. I would recommend this
training to anyone who wants to get into the home
staging business- well unless they would be my
competition... : ) THANK YOU HSR!

I just wanted to send you an e-mail to let
you know how impressed I am with all the work
you've put into the HSR. As a previous business
owner I know how extremely time consuming and
frustrating starting a new business can be.
That's an understatement! It is SUCH a relief as
I start this new venture to have HSR's support.
You truly have done the majority of the leg
work. Speaking from previous experience it
probably would have taken me twice as long to
get this business up and running. The money I've
invested is well worth it and I have all the
confidence in the world that my business will
succeed. Thanks again!

"I
am so impressed by the HSR training process. It turned my business
around. Literally, a week before signing up for the package, I was
ready to let the business go due to the fact that I really felt lost
in many areas. I have in the past month learned and applied the
information I got towards my business and it has paid off. I have
been able to have an exact plan for the consultations and appt. with
realtors and I have received many e-mails responding to the e-mails
that I have sent out. I have had several comments from Realtors who
are now using me as a part of their service that my website and
letterhead and cards look very professional. They were impressed to
say the least. The tips and tricks that you have given are all ways
that my business has improved. Thank you for all of the effort you
have put in for me and everyone out there. I will forever be
appreciative of all of your help in making Stage It Today
successful!"
Letitia Granum, MN
I was
completely impressed by the professionalism and the
intensity of the program. You didn't miss a thing. I'm
almost ready to submit my information for the web-site
and am ready to go and am more confident than if
I hadn't take the course! Thanks again for a great
program.

I have been exploring the Home
Staging industry classes for sometime now. I decided on
the HSR without regrets. The program is both informative
and well structured. It also has been a great time-saver
for me. HSR has been
consistent with regards to communication, in a timely
manner.
HSR is highly recommended by me.

"I must tell you that the business
forms in Week 2 are amazing! I know that
to create all of these forms from scratch would have taken me months
to
prepare. Your training has enabled me to download all of the forms
needed
in just one day! Thank you so much for providing such valuable
tools and
resources needed to get my new business up and running. I feel more
confident going in to my first client consultation after reading the
"Guide
to a Successful Consultation". I feel prepared and well informed
about the
market, the benefits of home staging and what specific service
models I will
be selling. This has freed up my time to work on the part I really
love,
designing the look and feel of my business, creating beautiful home
interiors and "shopping"!"
Jennifer Opie, PA
"The
training was awesome!...I'm so happy with your training materials
and knowledge...I'm so glad I found your site!
Oh, I rec'd my cards and letterhead. LOVE THEM!!
I feel so professional now!"
Four busy months later...
"Regarding your question on how I'm getting my clients... I
ask EVERYONE how they find me. INTERNET!! Everyone (mostly) has
said they did a search for Home Stagers and my web site comes up
first. Gotta love it! I wish there were more of us (from
HSR) in this area!! Thanks for all your help!! You have
really given me more than you know. I love where my career has
taken me, and it's only there because of me stumbling across
your web site!"
Amber Hawkins, CA
If you are considering a career in
staging, taking Audra's certification course is a must! In addition
to creating a professional website, this course will make sure you
dont miss any important steps needed to market yourself and set your
business up correctly. It is a small investment for getting your
business up and going and for establishing the confidence you need
to have to sell yourself. Thank you Audra!

“I
am SO excited. I can not tell you how impressed I am with your
company! I have been an entrepreneur for 17 years and have never
come across anything like Home Staging Resource. I will definitely
be your BIGGEST fan."
Elayne Forgie, FL
When I am looking
for a business opportunity I want to go with the best. I did a lot
of research on the web about Home Staging and Home Staging Resource
had the most comprehensive program. 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, CA
"I am so glad I made the decision to go
with the Home Staging Resource for my business training. It has been
the missing link to my business…your business has been a Godsend to
mine! It has taken the anxiety out little by little and gives me
more confidence."
Tina Walker, MI
"I learned more
about business development in that one hour than I have in many
years of corporate experience!"
Debbie Bier, FL
(Testimonial from single live web training)
"I have built my
site and you have made me look so professional - I almost think I
can make a go of this business. If I don't it is not because
of anything on your part. How exhilarating it is to know you
want my business to be a success almost as much as I do!"
Judith Weikel, FL
“Your training was
fabulous. I have sales experience (18 years) but needed the start-up
structure to start a home staging business. You go into great
detail. The calendar was very helpful for this. Also, all the forms
are excellent!!!! I needed some guidelines for the staging and you
have also made me very confident to go to a house and go over --the
plan, the forms, the feel home formula, and a quick transformation.
The printed materials are so professional and beautiful. I have had
people look at the business card--it is so much fun to watch their
face. Their eyes get big, say "WOW", and feel the surface. What a
great reaction. I can't believe the website. It is gorgeous. Your
staff is great. Also, I am impressed with your timing on
everything--when you say that you will do something at a certain
time, it is done!! I can't think of one thing at this time
that you could do better in the training. The videos, and the live
training were very helpful. I would recommend your company to
anyone!!
Audra, you should be very proud of yourself to know that you can
help so many people with so many subjects. What a great company you
have!”
Diane Lunceford, TX
"I thought the training was very professional, and you were well
organized. There was a lot of information on marketing! It
exceeded my expectations. You were so generous with your marketing
tips. I have been VERY impressed with the amount of materials, and
the content. I would rate you a 10! I have already told a lot of
people about the website - I can't say enough. Keep up the good
work!!! I don't see any way you could have improved this web
training for week 2. I feel empowered now. Before this training I
wasn't sure how to get started advertising. Now I feel like I have
plenty of avenues to choose from to get going!
Sharon Moran, SC
"I am so glad after
doing research on internet classes for staging that I made the
absolute right choice! I can't wait to finish my portfolio and get
to work. My sincere thanks for your outstanding guidance."

so grateful for YOU! I just viewed my site you
made for me and I could have cried. Girl, You know
what your doing! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR MAKING MY DREAMS

Kandi Tackett, NC
"I love your
program, because it is so concise and makes you think of things
that normally get overlooked. Yes, I know how to stage and
redesign, but the business aspect is what I needed help with.
Thank you so much for everything!"
Dawn Tisdale, LA
"While doing my research for Home
Staging, I came across your website, saved it as a favorite,
reviewed others and just kept coming back to yours to compare.
You by far offered the best value for the best price! Your
information has been invaluable to me these past three weeks. I
am so impressed with your company I have already referred it to
a relative who lives in Portland."
Marcia Brown, WI
"This has proven to
be a fascinating venture and I am so glad I
chose HSR. Your support, follow-up, web content, learning
materials, are
all so professional and easy to use as a reference guide. I have
learned a
vast amount of information and that has in turn given me a level of
self-
confidence I never thought I could have in a new profession."
Carol Ellis, VA
I LOVE THE WEB SITE
YOU BUILT FOR ME!!!! IT IS AWESOME!!! THANK YOU.
I am so glad that I found you and your web site. You have given me
more
information and education that is allowing me to build a firm
foundation for
my business. I had another call yesterday from a gentleman who found
me on your Directory and I have an appointment with him on
Thursday....I should tell you that I know NOTHING about marketing
but since I have your
products to work with I am now giving marketing advice to friends,
family
and realtors. Yeah me!
Thank you again for making my work
day a pure pleasure!
Sue Guidry, TX after seeing her website we built
I certainly appreciate the orderly
manner in which you approach everything. Everything I have thought
of you beat me to it. Boy am I glad! Like you say, I won't have
to reinvent the wheel.

"Your products have more than paid for themselves TODAY (first
week). I just got another call to stage a ranch house to sell or
maybe to stay!!! Then I received a call from an investor in
Riverside, California. He found me on YOUR DIRECTORY!"
Sue Guidry, TX
"I have owned my own design firm
since 1983 doing both residential and commercial design, as well as
model home merchandising for national homebuilders. I took your
certification program so that we could offer this additional service
to our clients. I am happy to say that I have been more than
pleased with the professional quality of our web site and printed
marketing materials which we have received from HSR. And the
templates for your many forms have been sooo helpful in knowing how
to set up this part of the business. Additionally, I received great
phone support from Scott Hagen in your member service department. He
was always available to answer any and all questions that we had.
I would recommend your certification program to anyone who was
considering staging training options. Thank you again for what has
been a very positive learning experience!"
Jeannene Edwards, CA
The entire training
package has been nothing short of fantastic. The
information covered is extensive and the inside tips on your website
are
invaluable as are the many downloadable forms available to get my
staging business off to a great start. I look forward to completing
the
teleconferences and am sure that with all the great training and
tools
you have given me it will result in a profitable and thoroughly
enjoyable home staging business!
Thank you once again!

"The comprehensive training program
provided by HSR taught us the mechanics of how to start a business,
the importance of marketing, and it kept us focused on completing
the tasks necessary to establish our new home staging company. We
also took advantage of the marketing package, which is awesome! The
brochures, business cards, and letterhead are of great quality and
very professional looking, and the opportunity to easily create a
web site was important to us. Overall, we were very pleased with the
HSR program, and can't wait to begin staging!"
by Laurie Brightly

The HSR program is
superb in preparing one for a great new career.
The hardest part of any business is self-promotion and confidence.
The HSR program supplies so much information, forms and internet
connections
that you are not only learning a business but are building up
confidence.
Today I am confident, the HSR course has prepared me to address the
needs
and wants of both the sellers and the real estate agents and I know
how to respondto any of their questions and I have been given the
information to back up my answers.
I am looking forward to a long, fun and prosperous future with HSR
As my support team. Thanks for a fabulous training and confidence
builder.
Valerie Waidele from Stage to Impress, Inc, Miami, Fl
I was very impressed that when I
first emailed for information on the HSR website, you immediately
had me download the training overview which gave me a synopsis of
the training program. I also received email newsletters and updates.
When I called with questions about the training, I was warmly
received and my questions were answered. I then felt comfortable
about signing up for training.
I could participate at my own pace at my own place. There was a
wealth of materials and advice from veteran home stagers that I
could use at my disposal. The webinars were especially helpful.
After spending lots of time reviewing other training programs, I am
very glad I chose Home Staging Resource to get certified because it
gives me a professional edge over my competitors. Traveling to
another location and taking a 3-day class was not an option for me.
Home Staging Resource is the best investment I made to jump-start my
home staging and redesign business in only a month's time! I have
already received phone calls. It was money well spent and I would
recommend HSR to anyone interested in the home staging and redesign
field. Gina
Newell The
training process was so well organized and went so far beyond my
expectations I can hardly put it into words. To think I nearly sent
my check into a competitors program! The fact that I could do this
at my own pace was hugely important. But even more than that, the
fact that the material was so comprehensive and varied and
interesting made me not only feel super excited about my career, but
also provided me with the assurance that I would truly have the
skills to make it happen. In addition, the forms were
absolutely invaluable and time-saving! The PowerPoint
trainings by Audra were wonderful. Her relaxed style mixed with her
knowledge and professionalism really made the experience valuable.
The manual was very extensive and a fantastic resource.
Susan Lindsey McCabe
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
Heidi's Home Staging
I was really
impressed at the way you market your company and that you
are geared towards teaching people how to have a successful
business in this field and not so much trying to teach
people how to be a decorator. I feel like you either "have
it" or you don't so my goal is to learn how to create a name
and business. I had originally contacted a large competitor
of yours. I had a couple of simple questions that I had
sent a e-mail request but after subsequent e-mails and a
month for them to respond I decided to see what else was out
there. I'm glad I did because so far I have been very
impressed and you have exceeded my expectations.
Brad
Fletcher
I researched
many home staging training programs and decorating
franchises before deciding on HSR. I chose HSR over all the
others because I liked the idea of a turn-key business or a
business in a box as it was referred to. I felt more
confident starting a business knowing I would have all the
marketing tools, staging and decorating tips, and continued
member support at my disposal. In addition, I especially
liked that I was in control of my business company name,
mission statement, and what services to offer.)
Kelly
Nordahl
Thanks to
Home Staging Resources I felt very confident on my first
appointment. The training has been great. When I use Member
Support the time to get back to me is very short, this
service is very much appreciated. I loved meeting the client
with my portfolio full of information, it made me look very
professional. You say what you mean and mean what you say,
because if I have questions I can also look it up in my
manual and the information is right there.
Thank you
for putting together such a valuable resource and giving me
the tools I need to be successful.
Sarah
I liked the
marketing materials, the cost, the professional agenda
through the training. Seems you guys care about my success
over the other companies.
Sherry
Spencer
I knew I
made a good choice when I chose your program but I just had
to tell you again. My mind is constantly cluttered with all
the forms and packages I keep telling myself I need to put
together. I am so thrilled to see you truly have thought of
everything. I keep downloading your forms and checking off
my own to do list! Every form I’ve told myself I needed
I’ve found within your program. You are a fantastic
resource. Thanks for everything…
Renee
Nelson-DÉCOR ADVANTAGE
I chose Home
Staging Resource because after researching several different
companies HSR offered the most information and resources for
the money. The money you save on business cards, postcards,
letterhead and a website is almost worth the fee alone!
