Home Stagers Success Stories
 
Doing What They Love and Helping Homes Sell...
 

Dear Audra...

"Two weeks ago I recieved an email from a person who had found my website from the HSR Directory! She said she had a home in a suburb of Dallas/Fort Worth that had been vacant 15 months and she wanted to have 1 room staged because people seemed to be having a hard time visusalizing how to arrange furniture in this room. After viewing the home, I talked to the customer and convinced her to let me stage 5 rooms instead. I just recieved a call from the realtor who said that the home sold the next day!...PS - ALL the homes I've staged have sold very quickly and have led to more jobs...I am very blessed and LOVE what I do!"
April Wells of Captivating Staging

"I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful support and material you offered in your training. I have had 4 calls in the past week from my website because of the HSR Directory...I am amazed at how quick things have taken off."
Karen Honore of Staging On A Budget

"Our latest staging success is a beach home that sold six weeks after being professionally staged. It had been on the house for over two years!! Our market is slower now than it has been any time in the past two years.. Needless to say, the owners and realtor are sold on staging!"

Professional Home Staging

Dear Audra,

I can't believe how much your home staging course has changed my life! I have worked full time as a hairdresser for 25 years and really needed a change. I have always loved Real Estate and decorating and I have wanted to change careers for a few years now but I had no idea what I would do. After doing some research online I realized I could make a living doing what I'm good at and I'm so glad I chose your program! You really have thought of everything, this training program is amazing! I really loved the recent changes you've made and I just want to thank you for giving me a reason to get up every morning excited about what the day will bring!

Luci Terhune N.J
Bungalow Home Staging & Redesign

"The HSR Training is excellent!

I wish I would have trained with HSR when I first started my staging business over one year ago!  I would have paid for the training several times by now with all of the mistakes I have made trying to figure out this business on my own. Audra has made starting a staging business so easy with no guess work."

Peggy Givens
Staging Tulsa

"Audra, I am so impressed with HSR and what a tremendous help it has been to
me. I have been an Interior Decorator for twelve years and thought that
Home Staging and Re-Design would just complement my services. I didn't
realize until I started your program how much I would learn from your
business and marketing expertise. It is so specific and vital! I would
recommend HSR to anyone wanting to enter this business. Do it the right
way - go with HSR!"

Patricia Skelton
East Coast Designs

"The Home Staging Resource Training program is by far the most comprehensive, well thought-out intensive program available. It is without
question the complete and total package with each and every nuance perfectly thought out, enabling you to hit the ground running. From the text and
checklists in each week, to the interactive webinars to the wonderful and high quality marketing solutions package, this is the prime resource and
choice for any serious new stager.  I highly recommend
this program."

Vickie Veloudios
Studio V Staging, Inc.




"We chose Home Staging Resource as our training and certification company
because we were able to conduct the training on-line from the comfort of our
own home, but more importantly, because HSR offered a comprehensive program
that provided not only "certification," but the backend marketing services
and on-going support. In today's competitive market, any company just
starting out has to be able to market their company, products and services
via the internet. Home Staging Resources offered us the ability to get up
and running on the internet quickly, provided the training and certification
for credibility and provided the on-going marketing programs... all for a
minimal investment. We're very happy that we chose HSR and would highly
recommend their services to someone looking to start a Home Staging and
Redesign Company!"

Judi Randall
Owner, C & J Home Staging
HSR Certified Professional
 

"The training materials are "awesome". I am thrilled to have them. Even
though it is taking me much longer to do what is required, I can do them at
my own speed. Hopefully, I will eventually "get there", thanks to you and
your very "efficient" staff. I also have enjoyed watching all the videos as
they put real life into staging. Thanks so much."

Sincerely, Janet Hartwell


"I had spent a lot of time researching home staging programs. There are quite a few out there but none compare to HSR. Once I signed up for the training I was amazed at the wealth of information that was right at my fingertips. If you are uncertain as to whether or not to sign up with HSR I would say to you, don't put it off. You will get more information than you ever imagined possible, as well as, you will receive personal interaction emails from Audra and her staff. I certainly feel I have gotten more than my money's worth. I only wish I would have done this sooner."
Theresa Burba, IN

 "
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. Thanks Audra for your fabulous business."
Kristina, MI
(existing home stager turned  Member)

"Thank you for your passion and commitment to your members and the Home Staging industry. I'm so pleased with the investment I have made in the Home Staging Resource. The training and information I gained are worth every penny I spent. You approach your business with integrity and unselfishness, consistently demonstrating your motto of giving back to your customers. Word of mouth is sometimes the best marketing there is, and you can be assured that I will be singing your praises to anyone that asks."
Michelle Butler, FL

"I've in known in my heart for a long time that I could help realtors
sell homes by just doing a little face lift and giving homes that personal
touch that it needed, but I didn't know how to put my ideas into a business plan until I found Home Staging Resource. On searching the web one day, I discovered Home Staging Resource and found the answers to my many questions and got some direction to my new business and I was thrilled.  The HSR training has given me exactly what I've needed to have a successful business.  You've thought of everything!  I appreciate the personal touch HSR gives to their members. Thank you for having this vision to help others in fulfilling their vision!"
