People are Raving About Audra's Training
I was new to Home Staging and knew nothing about the industry. After researching different training programs available on the market, I am so glad to have selected this program.
The Home Staging Resource program is the ONLY program to choose for anyone considering a career in Home Staging and Redesign. This course eliminated all the guesswork about Home Staging and provided me with the tools needed to kick start my business. I received so many tools, industry connections, trade discounts, ideas for service offerings, business plans, trends, "how-to" knowledge for staging, software tool ideas, website, social media automation platform, and good customer support. WOW!
Not only is the online training self-paced and easy to navigate, but Audra's energy kept me engaged. There is a lot of content to learn and appreciated the way the information was divided into smaller modules making it easy for me to digest.
And the buck doesn't stop there because I am now part of an industry support community where I can learn and grow my business. Thank you for creating a program that provides so much value!
Again, WOW!
Thank you so much!!!
Audra's program is fully extensive, with a plethora of real-life examples to learn from. She doesn't hold back on any industry secrets and really shows examples of great staging and explains road blocks, and pitfalls to avoid. She really covers everything and makes it fun and easy to follow.
The HSR training has been an amazing and transformative experience for me. I began the training in the early days of Covid-19 quarantine with the idea of chasing my dream of transitioning to home staging and redesign when I retire from teaching down the road. The first week was intense and overwhelming but Audra's voice kept ringing in my ear.....keep the momentum going! It was a struggle at times because I was still teaching remotely. The things that kept me going were my students and the HSR training. The training kept me inspired, positive, and quite frankly, sane while quarantining at home. My dream has now turned into a reality as I take my certification test and do my first half day staging on the same day! Best timing ever! Thank you, Audra, for giving me the information, tools, direction, and hope for my new second career as a home stager and re-designer in my new business, Sonata Home Design.
HSR and Audra were so much more than I had hoped for. The training is chock full of the most excellent information and I feel that I am more than ready to begin my staging career. If anyone is on the fence about which training to take, look no further. The tools and the knowledge that I received from HSR totally exceeded my expectations.
Being a Home Stager for 17 years I wanted to add this designation to my business. I was completely amazed at the forms, useful tools, and wealth of information this course provided. If this course had been around 17 years ago, it would have made a world of difference in every way.
HSR Staging and Redesign Certification training by Audra Slinkey was simply amazing! Home redesign and staging has been a hobby of mine for many years, and I finally decided to follow my passion and turn it into a business. I had the confidence to do my own projects, but wanted to gain more knowledge in home staging and redesign so that I could provide my clients with the best service possible. I have a bachelor's degree in business administration and a masters degree in counseling, and I learned more in Audra's training than I did in my two degree programs combined. The training is easy to follow, practical, and incredibly useful if you want to start your own business. I am not sure I could have done this without Audra!
This has been the best staging course I've done! It offers everything you need without the additional cost! Well worth every cent!
From clueless to confident, the Home Staging Certification Course by Home Staging Resource took my passion for design and turned it into a business ready to thrive! The course was an exhilarating journey filled with invaluable insights, expert guidance, and fantastic extras that truly set it apart. I learned the art of transforming spaces, honed my eye for detail, and gained a treasure trove of practical tips to kick start my career. Could I have done this on my own? I thought I could, until I realized that Audra's class saved me about a year of research and work, yes I still had to put a lot of work into streamlining everything, but i would have never known to do any of those things without HSR's guidance. Thanks to this course, I'm now ready to rock the home staging world, armed with knowledge, creativity, and the confidence to make every house a showstopper. If you're ready to unleash your design superpowers and take your skills to new heights, this course is an absolute game-changer! Get ready to make magic happen!
The HSR training is detailed, comprehensive, and will provide anyone with an eye for design with all the step by step instructions needed to start a successful home staging business. The training is also filled with practical tips and interviews from others who have been certified and are operating successful decorating ventures. Audra's energy and enthusiasm is motivating. Her words of encouragement and regular emails are inspiring. I appreciated the often needed confidence boost! I also appreciate getting regular emails and tips as a continued member to get a constant stream of motivation and informative webinars and industry updates. Audra, thanks for a great resource to help creative people realize that a career in decorating and design is valued and possible!
This training was definitely an investment that is invaluable for building a Home Staging and Redesign business. Audra provided limitless resources and a blueprint to follow which took a lot of the guess work out of how to structure my offerings, pricing etc..., as well as provided various alternative income stream options to consider as offerings for my business. I am launching in the next couple weeks and definitely have a sense of confidence that I am more than prepared to start this new chapter of my life!
The training and support provided by HSR are the best available in the industry. Starting your own company is hard work but Audra's program walks you through everything you need to know to get started as a home stager. I received my first call from a potential client within hours of my ads going live.
Before taking the HSR course, I never even knew E-Design existed. Often times, I would try to piece together some sort of an idea board using Publisher or another software, but I could never achieve a clean, well designed board. After taking Audra's E-Design course, it has been a true game changer for my business, and I believe I've only touched the tip of the iceberg. So excited to find new ways of incorporating E-Design into my staging business!
I first came into home staging when I put my own home for sale that we had lived in for 20 yrs. Our realtor had seen the before and after and went bazooka over the transformation. I had been thinking of it for some time, but he gave me the confidence to go ahead. I found HSR through a local stager who had staged a home that I saw while looking for a new home. (The staging profession was calling me). I am not new to art and design, but the HSR program was so incredibly integral in my learning about the BUSINESS of staging. I couldn't have formed this immediate business so quickly without it. Just while I was DOING the certification, I had earned over $10,000 in 5 months. That was without even marketing, but just casually mentioning it to people I know that I was doing Home Staging certification, I was given staging consults and office redesign projects. Now I am a staging partner with our realtor, a partner with another stager who has a furniture warehouse and have been staging 1M+ homes! Thank you Audra!
I found the HSR training to be incredible. The fact that you can do it at your own pace and go back and re-read and re-watch videos was really helpful for my busy life. I loved how detailed Audra got about both the business side of things and the creative. I also love the community aspect of the HSR group! This training was so comprehensive that even though I have no experience, I feel completely ready to begin my new career as a home stager and redesigner. Thank you!
Audra's Home Staging Resource training is excellent. She truly offers the A to Z aspects of staging or redesigning a home. Her videos are easy-to- watch, informative, and bring her training and expertise to us. Her manual is comprehensive. Her HSR Library of materials are super time-savers in getting started or being organized. After taking this course, it has reignited my passion for staging and redesign. I am confident that I am prepared and knowledgeable to immediately start my successful staging and redesign business, Gulf Coast Staging. Lily Ann Gathings
I have been so impressed with the amount of information and resources provided in this training. am armed with business forms, marketing materials and overall industry knowledge that is invaluable. Launching a new business at first seemed so daunting to me, but now I am educated and prepared to grow my staging business - and take it beyond my initial vision.
I would absolutely recommend this program to others considering this industry. You won't regret it!
This training was wonderful! All of the videos, handouts, and e-books were very helpful. It was well organized, fun, easy to follow and highly engaging. I really enjoyed watching the staging videos and getting to see how the concepts I was learning about were put into action. Thank you, Audra!
I honestly was actually humbled to have been told by a friend about Home Staging Resource for the training and certification program. I am a full time working single mother of three kids. I am a Monday through Friday, 8-5 worker with periodic overtime still trying to make ends meet. I have ambitions and goals to further myself and better myself, not just for me but to leave a legacy for my three kids. Being my own boss one day to as well have the time for sports and any appointments needed for the kiddos. To have a job where my kids eventually will have a job with me if they so decide. I am extremely excited to be my own stability. I am so incredibly happy with the layout of the training let alone the amount of time I am given to complete the course in order to get certified. It definitely has helped with all that life brings. Thank you so much for this opportunity!
Excellent & informative training, very easy to follow. The library of forms are very helpful to get your business up and running right away.
The HSR training was a fantastic foundation to get my business up and running. Providing guidance on steps to start a small business, details and examples on services and pricing, and providing a connection point to others in my same "new to professional staging/designing" boat were invaluable parts to moving forward into this industry!
I have been in the home staging industry for almost 10 years and until recently I didn't think having formal training was necessary. Audra provided me with invaluable advice in terms of marketing strategies and alternative revenue streams! I cannot wait to implement what I've learned and grow my business! Thank You Home Staging Resource!
I cannot begin to say just how much I have learned or enjoyed Audra's HSR course. I have been blown away by the amount of information that was provided. Finishing the course has left me excited to start my business with confidence...because I feel I now have so much knowledge and will be able to not only speak intelligently on all things home staging related, but will be able to effectively price my services as well. There is no doubt I'll be referring back to so many items, forms and lessons as they are priceless to starting this business. Thank you Audra from the bottom of my heart for sharing your knowledge and for being so motivating!
I absolutely love Home Staging Resources' very comprehensive training. Audra has left no question unanswered about starting your business and the Home Staging industry as a whole. There are so many valuable resources that come with the training. The best part is that you can go back and forth as needed to review areas of focus and/or need clarification on. I recommend this training 100%.
Another training that knocked it out of the park! As usual, Audra, you do not disappoint. I launched my business immediately after taking your Staging/Redesign Course and put things into practice immediately. After downloading the various contracts, promotional marketing materials, and call scripts, I customized them for my business and deployed them. Once I felt comfortable with the practical application, my goal was to continue building upon the strong foundation you provided. In the last year, I've successfully completed all of your courses, including the purchase of the TrulyBranded Website and Social Media packages. It's been one year since launch and my self-confidence has exploded! I am now a licensed NC Real Estate Broker, as well, and with your encouragement, signed up for RESA. I obtained my RESA-Approved Instructor certification last month and will be teaching staging/design tips for my Keller Williams Great Smokies office here in Western North Carolina. You have equipped me with the knowledge, confidence and SKILL to present the joys of staging/redesign/vacation design/color consults/and E-Design to my clients and colleagues in real estate. You have given me the best gift for which a girl could ask - independence and happiness! I love you to the moon and back, Audra. Seriously talented, inspirational and supportive!!
This intense training has been the best month of my career! I finally feel like I'm able to pull together years of my knowledge of selling vintage furniture and decorating for family and friends into a career. The basis of Audra's course being the business aspect is something that is not offered in any other course that I have researched and is very much appreciated. I look forward to expanding my brand and am so excited for this new chapter!
Finding Audra, and going through the HSR training, has instilled confidence, experience and belief in my own abilities as a successful home stager. Before the training, I thought the home staging industry was beyond me. HSR training is relatable, as well as comprehensive. The education I received is key to my ongoing success. The training is self-paced, therefore achievable while being hands-on in the industry. I credit my success to Audra and HSR and wholly recommend this education to any aspiring home stager out there who may have any doubts in their own ability.
The HSR training encompassed everything necessary for an upstart staging business. From process to branding to interpersonal skills to design fundamentals, Audra covers it all. The information is delivered in an organized and engaging manner that invites you to return to the resources easily and often, allowing you to create your personal strategy with Audra's expertise and guidance.
The training that I have received through Home Staging Resource and Audra has far exceeded any of my expectations that I had when I originally set out to own my own business in home staging and redesign. This course has provided me with a countless number of tools and in-depth training to succeed in my business. I will continue to use this course as resource as I build my own dream.
As I've begun building my business, Beautifying Spaces LLC, a critical component was laying a foundation of education. I thoroughly researched staging training and decided on HSR. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made, far exceeding even my highest expectations in Audra's unmatched expertise, beyond comprehensive training materials and support network There is absolutely nothing like it and I believe it has made the difference between endless cold calling and confident, educated, state of the art staging and marketing! Thank you doesn't even come close to expressing my gratitude to Audra and HSR!
This training has thoroughly prepared me to start my own home staging and redesign business. The business training was exceptional and I know the marketing tips I learned will be of great benefit to this shy, introverted gal. I look forward to finally pursuing my life long dream of helping other through my love of staging and redesign.
I decided to invest in myself and purchase Audra's training to properly launch my home staging & interior design business. I have my Masters in Interior Architecture and have design experience, but felt clueless and overwhelmed how to really build a business and market it for success. After attending several free webinars from Audra, I was impressed with her straight forward approach. As a SAHM it's taken me several months to get through the training, but I took her advice and kept my momentum going! I can't wait to launch my business- thanks so much!
Thank you Audra for truly covering every aspect of starting a new business. I went into this training nervous, confused, and with a very blurred idea of what home staging is. Now, just by following the detailed steps of the training, I have a full company that I am CONFIDENT about and I'm so excited and ready to make homes beautiful! I was happy to discover that not only does Audra cover home staging, but she also provides more business ideas for you to get involved with and make extra money! This industry is full of opportunity once you jump on in! I feel like I chiseled off the first 2 years of trial and error for a startup business and I no longer see any room for failure. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Trust the process people, this gal knows what shes doing!
The HSR Staging & Redesign Certification Course has been educational, inspiring & transformative. It has ALL the information you need in 1 place. I'm so glad I chose to go with Audra's course as it truly has been a 1 stop shop. With all the information, I know I'll be going back to reference it in the future.
Audra and Home Staging Resource have been absolutely AMAZING! This course has shown me how to apply my professional experience in my previous marketing position, along with my passion for design, to create a career that is a dream come true. I learned so much, and it was great being able to complete the course at my own pace. I couldn't be more excited to launch my business, and having this training has helped build my confidence in my design abilities, and taught me how to create a successful business. I am so thankful for Audra sharing her expertise!
This training has been truly amazing. I have spent many years helping other start their business in the real estate industry and I began to notice that the ones who didn't start with the cornerstones to build their business are the ones that struggles to succeed. This training did just that! It helped me design my business to represent me while also giving me the direction on how to get the ball rolling the right direction and keep the momentum going.
It took me several months before deciding on which home staging training program to purchase. After attending two of Audra's webinars and seeing how detailed and personable she is, I was sure she truly cares about her students, and I was right. In view of the HSR webinars and other social media research; I expected detailed, and informative training from Audra, however, the training manual, videos, and personal replies from Audra to my email questions were well beyond my expectations. The HSR training well prepared me for a career in home staging plus additional expertise. I am looking forward to taking the HSR E-Design and Color Consultation training next! Thank you Audra!!
Audra's HSR program provides you with the information and confidence to turn your love of redesign and staging into a real business!
As an interior design and real estate agent I came to this training with a fairly solid background and understanding of home staging, but Audra was able to help me put my business together in such a professional manner. She is extremely detailed in her experience with not only design, but with best business practices and marketing. Her wealth of information is something that I am sure I will be reflecting back on in the months to come. Thank you, Audra for helping me put my best foot forward in this new venture.
I have years of experience designing and staging, very successfully. I was torn about whether I needed to be certified and asked around. I kept going to Audra's special events and was drawn to this course, finally deciding more knowledge is more power. Best decision ever!! The promo materials and handouts alone are worth the price of the class. They are beautiful. I have learned so much I thought I knew, and motivated beyond! Audra is a phenomenal educator, teaching in such a way that you feel like it's live. Amazing. If you are thinking about it, do it!
I loved the journey and when it did get very overwhelming for me, I just took a break while balancing two part time jobs and once I got back into it with a fresh mind, I was able to process a lot more fluidly. I love all the information that is given and very clear. I am so thankful for the sheets made for us basically making it easier to start the business. This program really gave me a jump start!
I was so nervous about taking this leap. Audra's training course has made me feel very confident in my choice. The training program provides so much information from example contracts to how to shop! I can not express my gratitude for having this training available to me. Now I can start my business knowing I have found my people, am educated, and have a major support system to turn to when I need.
The HSR Staging and Redesign training is Top Notch!!! This training very detailed, extremely informative, insightful and encouraging. When I decided to sign up for the training, I was a bit nervous and not quite sure I could succeed. However, the HSR training gave me the tools to not only start my business, but provided step by step instructions to launch my business properly. This training has taught me more than I ever thought or imagined. Most importantly, it taught me that I CAN DO IT!!! So I can't wait to put my training into practice, and help my clients FEEL HOME!!!
I can't believe how valuable this course has been to my career. I have been staging, quite successfully for five years... or so I thought. The Home Staging Resource guide has given me a plethora of tools to use in all aspects of running a small business, as well as tips of the trade that help simplify and clarify the staging process. Kudos to a great course!! I can't wait to take all I have learned and apply it. Thank YOU!
The HSR E-Design training is the best I have found. HSR provides so many templates and so many training modules. Audra does not like for anyone to reinvent the wheel, so she gives you so many resources to quickly make your business a success. The price for what you get is very reasonable. Once you complete the training that is not the end. You have these resources forever and HSR is always there for you if needed.
I have been a designer for many years but I am fairly new to staging. I have learned SO much from this program and I think it's great how Audra really pumps you up to be successful! I love the Stagers Connect where I can get to know other stagers and the successes as well as problems they have and how everyone comes together to help each other.
Audra does it again! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this E-Design Course!!! It was so easy to follow b/c of her enthusiasm and interesting content! Course includes everything you need to incorporate E-Design into your business: marketing materials, forms, how-to videos, web-site buttons, and more! HIGHLY recommend this program for anyone wanting to learn the most cutting edge tools that will help drive revenue and build your staging & design business! Thanks Audra!
I have been staging/redesigning for 20 plus years, Audra, your program/training has really fine tuned my business. I have been a little "accidental" because when you love what you do, and people love what you do, business comes without much effort. With the business plan, Black Book, marketing and numerous other checklist my business has become much more streamline, not to mention a greater bottom line.
Audra, you hit a home run with this training course! I found it extremely easy to follow and work into a very hectic schedule. As a 30+ year realtor who works closely with all my clients in preparation for their home sell, I discovered there many other services I can now offer before and after the selling process. Thank you Audra, I look forward to following you and your fabulous group of Stagers & Redesigners.
Thanks to Home Staging Resource, I now feel more confident and prepared to enter the world of home staging and design. This learning experience has been truly invaluable, and I wholeheartedly endorse it for anyone interested in staging. The course has not only honed my skills but also enriched my knowledge. The valuable insights and techniques acquired from this course have expanded my capabilities, making me feel at ease to jump into my business.
Audra's training manual and detailed videos have been so helpful. Being a RE Broker and understanding all of the details that go into a successful stage when helping my clients the most value for their properties is absolutely the most important detail. Audra is so hands on! she is always available for any questions and answers her emails! I have already recommended her to another agent!
Going through the HSR certification training has been a total game changer. I have gained so much knowledge, not just about staging but how to run your business. The staging part I had down pat. However, I know now that my business would have suffered on the marketing (web design, presentations, bold, etc) end had it not been for HSR.
I am so grateful to have found Audra's Training , she and her team did an outstanding job on this course. It was everything I thought it would be and more. I am also so thankful for each and every document she has given to us to help us succeed in our business. This course has given me the confidence and knowledge need to start to build a business for myself and my family. Although I am just building my business I do feel hopeful that I can succeed due to taking this course. I can tell a lot of work has gone into development of the course and again I truly grateful!! I do see myself taking the color course next! I have told people about how great this course is and will continue to do so . Thank you Audra and all others involved! You are amazing , thank you thank you and thank you!!
Sincerely ,
Amecia Miles
When it comes to home staging training Audra is the best! She has enabled me, coached me and given me the confidence to jump into the world of home staging.
Not only was the course both fun and challenging but Audra’s enthusiasm and knowledge in the field of design/business adds a value that can’t be measured. She has a calm, fun and logical method of teaching that truly connected and inspired me. I can’t speak highly enough of this course. Thank you, Audra!!
I've been telling friends, "I wish my college professors had set me up for success as much as Audra has provided in this course." And it's absolutely true. The hours you'd spend on creating forms alone is worth it! Add in all the support, videos, and 24/7 access so you can work when it's convenient for you. I've been making this my midlife passion project, so I'm not in a hurry so much as using all this info to cultivate a business that will grow with me as I grow older. I'm truly grateful and will continue to be a member of HSR to continue to have access to all this valuable info and support.
It took me a long time to make the decision that I wanted to seriously pursue home staging as a career (after my corporate job was eliminated due to COVID). I had never allowed myself to dream that I could have a job doing something I've loved doing all of my life as a hobby and get paid for it! COVID forced me to reassess what the next chapter looks like. I found the course to be incredibly thorough and on point. I just met with my local RESA chapter for the first time, and found the talking points to be 100% consistent with what Audra teaches, even though many of those in attendance had not gone through this course. So I was even more confident that the training I have received in this course was valuable and credible. I'm alternatively scared and excited about launching my business, but I know a LOT more than I did when I started the course, and know that these resources will continue to support me as I begin to help clients and hopefully expand my business. Thanks, Audra!
| With a background in internet marketing, I knew going in that it would be a huge part of starting a staging and design business. Audra went above and beyond what I would have ever expected in explaining piece by piece, the steps that you need to take in order for your business to be found. I love that she didn't base her training on cold calling, spamming, or other methods that would ultimately alienate you from the real estate world. There is absolutely no reason that you won't succeed if you do every single thing she recommends to do. The design part is the fun part, but the building blocks support the whole structure of your business. |
This training was beyond what I expected. I was so pleasantly surprised to see that it included so many forms and templates that I can use in our business. The social media training was such a plus for me. Thank you for providing this training.
This training program has been the most thorough and complete program I have ever taken. Audra has provided every marketing tool, handout template, and all the information on how to setup and run a staging business that I have needed to start up my business. I am very pleased with this training program and feel I am set for success as a Home Stager.
I highly recommend the HSR Staging Course! There is no way I would have ever taken this step without all the know-how Audra provides, in addition to all the forms necessary. I love that the program is go at your own pace, and Audra is so relatable! Thanks so much!!
I have always enjoyed design and styling but I never knew I could make it into a business until I found HSR! My first encounter was during a Happy Hour session during COVID-19 and from that moment on I was sold. I had looked around and found other Home Staging Training companies but Audra and HSR spoke to my love of detail and processes. The training was fabulous and I now have a step-by-step handbook for my business. Thank you HSR!
HSR gave me much more information than I could have dreamed. I have owned several businesses and have had to start them up from the ground, which takes several months to implement systems and a lot of trial and error. HSR has already done the trial and error and allows me to implement systems and data immediately What a time saver! It also gives me the confidence from knowledge learned to implement my business immediately.
The best decision I made when starting Inhabit Home Staging was training through HSR! Audra in meticulous in sharing her hard-won experience and skill with you so you are more than prepared when you complete her training. Starting your own business is brave because there are so many factors and unknowns, but her training literally provides e v e r y t h i n g ...including the kitchen sink! Yes, I eat, sleep, and drink all things "home", but business best practices and requirements? Not so much! I feel so confident that I have a solid foundation because of this course, could not have done it without her. Thank you, Audra, for sharing all your hard work and expertise so others can confidently succeed in this industry! You are an exceptional and generous mentor!
This training can be a little overwhelming with SO MUCH information! Give yourself some grace and take it one step at a time. Really absorb it, and know that you always go back and refresh it over and over again with the information always being there! I'm thrilled to get started!
The training was awesome! I had already completed most of the things in Week 1 when I started my business 3 years ago. Week 2 was where I needed Audra the most...and she delivered! There is so much information, so many tools, and instruction. I only wish I had done the training before. Now, it's all about implementation. Thank you Audra and thanks to your team! You rock!
Wow! There is so much information, it is well organized and was a game changer for me. As a busy business owner working to get my design services launched, having Audra's guidance and very useful staging business "in a box" was exactly what I needed!
I just completed my training! I must say, this training was very informative, very information packed, and very helpful. You would be hard pressed to find a comprehensive step by step guide to setting up your own business anywhere like this! Guys, this is your business wrapped in a bow! Can't get any simpler than that! Thank you Audra 1000 times over!
HSR is the most comprehensive staging training I have come across. The ability to go at your own pace combined with the most detailed training sets anyone up for success. I feel extremely prepared to take my business to the next level.
I am thrilled that I have found this community and decided to bet on myself. Thank you Audra!!
I loved this training program. I have been researching and trying to start my own business for some time on my own. I decided to take this training to give me direction on how I wanted to run my own business. There is so much information that would of taken me years to figure out. I like the fact that this training program gives you support from others in this field so you don't feel like you are on your own. I do not regret taking this training and more confident with my services I offer to build a successful business.
The E-Design training was inspiring and gave me incentives to update my website and marketing plans, and to consider automating my email follow ups. The HSR templates are a definite plus to not have to reinvent the wheel.
The training, the presentation of the information, the way and the order in which it is presented, with both video and book work, really keeps you engaged. It is super informative, with lots of examples, before and after. Audra keeps it simple and to the point. Not a lot of FLUFF, but every day, every budget, information and examples. She has years of experience and passes all of this to you in your training. The ability to look back to the book or go back online to watch the videos again, is extremely valuable. The FB page and the other social media avenues for reinforcement and continued support, is one of the things to set this training apart from other trainings.
When I left Real Estate, I knew I was not done with it entirely. I wanted to bring out the creative side of me, and all my Realtor friends said-you have to get into staging and redesign. When I found HSR , I knew I found my path. This has been the most fascinating journey ever. The course has so much information and resources it makes it me feel so prepared and excited for the next adventure in my life to begin.
The HSR training was invaluable in not only helping to solidify my choice in making a huge career change, confidently, but feeling as though I have an automatic "dial-a-friend" when needed! I enjoyed the training scope of incorporating the layers of learning (reading/homework & practicing certain applications throughout/videos). Now that I have completed this certification, I will be signing up for the Color Certification & E-Design as well!
Even with experience with Home Staging under my belt I wanted to be certified. I was pleasantly surprised at how much more I learned going through this course. I highly recommend it!
I have been staging homes for over a year and I wish that I had taken this training sooner. I have learned so many valuable tips and advice from Audra and the veteran stagers. This training is a must for anyone wanting to learn more about the process, the marketing and the branding for you and your company.
I have never been provided with so much of a helping hand, period.
This training has superseded my expectations ten,... no one-hundred fold. This program has far more information than I can obtain mentally (before "getting in there and doing it myself") and that is what makes it so amazing.
I love that Audra provides a place I can go online (her training website) to research and review information….and she doesn’t stop there! Stagers Connect is a private Facebook group for her trainees to get together and share ideas, information and so much more. In addition to this, she mails you a ~2” thick spiral bound training book for your training and reference. She provides templates for advertising, marketing, trainings and even websites. Her tips, tricks and ideas are boundless and her devotion to her trainees and this field are inspirational. I couldn’t have created this business without her. I am graciously thankful.
I can not say enough good things about this training. I know a lot of people say that and it's so very true. Can't even imagine how many hours Audra has put into this EXCELLENT training. Definitely worth the price! I would have NEVER had the confidence before to make my dream come true. Now I can honestly say I do and more than I ever thought I could. Thanks Audra for this AWESOME training and the confidence to be able to follow my dream.
I really loved Audra's training, as it was not just all book knowledge but very hands-on and visual with lots of sample materials for marketing a new business.
HSR Training with Audra was incredibly helpful and insightful. I had already started my business and received previous training but the first training I took was dated and disappointing (kind of like so many houses before staging!). I struggled for a while and then I found HSR training and it was amazing. It answered so many questions and taught me so much of what I use today. My business is growing, thanks to Audra and her wonderful training.
This course has been amazing. I am so excited to get my business started and use the knowledge that I have gained from Audra's instruction and the HSR Staging and Redesign Certification to help people make their homes comfortable, organized and beautiful places to live, guide them in using what they already have to transform their home for themselves or to get top dollar in resale when prospective buyers FEEL HOME.
When I was looking through the different Home Staging Courses available online, Home Staging Resource stood out the most for the abundance of information it had to offer. With a degree in Interior Design I wasn't looking to spend my money on a course that would " teach me how to match pillows to wall colors ".
This course has been way more than I could have imagined , there was no stone left unturned . Not only did I finish this course without any questions unanswered, I also walked out with a complete How-To Manuel on starting and running a successful Home Staging Business.
I am so Happy I found this Course , It has been everything I didn't know I needed !
I really enjoyed Audra's trainings. Even though she is not in the room with you physically, it feels like it. I love how Audra knew what I was thinking before I even had certain thoughts. She is an awesome and funny teacher. I highly recommend this to anyone who has a passion for design!
WOW! This training was PACKED with info. It would have taken me well over a year and lots of mistakes along the way to get where I am today without Audra's help. I am forever grateful for all the work that has been put into this curriculum and would highly recommend this training to anyone interested in this field of work.
Audra has sincere passion and dedication to the staging industry as demonstrated through her training. I chose to embark on this journey with Audra as a trainer because I like her realist approach to business, her positive attitude, and attention to detail in her training materials. Education and learning is a necessity for me as I am curious by nature. Audra far exceeded my expectations as I learned more through her course then I could have anticipated. Thank you, Audra.
This training has been truly amazing. I have spent many years helping other start their business in the real estate industry and I began to notice that the ones who didn't start with the cornerstones to build thier business are the ones that struggle to succeed. This training did just that! It helped me design my business to represent me while also giving me the direction on how to get the ball rolling the right direction and keep the momentum going.
I found the training to be clear and concise, allowing me to work at my own pace. The modules built one on top of the other and provided all the information needed to start my own staging business.
I have been a realtor for 8 years and commonly staged my clients homes without any formal training, because I knew their homes would sell quicker and for more money if properly staged. Honestly though, it is because I love to decorate. I had taken a staging course previously for realtors which pretty much gave me basics, but not much else. When I moved from Colorado to South Carolina I didn't want to get my real estate license and start all over. I decided that if I have to start at something all over I'd rather be a full time stager. I wasn't in the HSR class for long, but following along with the outline I started getting calls. My first job with with a home builder doing model homes. My second was with a new home owner buying their first new home. I'll admit I was scared and excited at the same time. But with the resources HSR gives you, such as stagers connect, (this was a life saver), and all step by step forms, it really went smoothly. I would highly recommend HSR if you are serious about becoming a stager!
I have taken other HSR courses in the past (Staging & Redesign, Certified Color Expert, Certified Expert E-Designer), and I immediately signed up for the vacation rental training when it was offered. It packed in so much information, including eye-opening statistics on the increasing popularity of vacation rentals, how to research for proper pricing, information on what vacationers want in a rental, understanding the problems that property owners and managers are looking to solve, and how to promote my specialty training with ready-to-use emails and Canva marketing materials. Vacation rentals are everywhere in my state, and now I feel very prepared to tap into that market!
Once I found Audra's training, I knew I had to take her course. I was beyond excited to finally do something for myself.
This training has given me the confidence to start a career doing something that I have wanted to for years but hadn't had the courage. Not knowing the inner details of starting a business like, how much to charge, details on having a contract, starting a website etc. had kept me from pursuing my dream. Now I feel like I can take this leap of faith and put my best foot forward. Thank you for the positive affirmations Audra.
I've been staging properties for the last 3 years and have always wanted to go deeper in this business. Until now, I didn't feel I had enough training to turn my love of redesign into a real business. HSR has given me the training, the forms and the confidence to move forward. I can't wait to see what is ahead!
I have completed all of your trainings and always blown away by the amount of information and knowledge you share. I have been sitting in fear however, I am now ready. I was struck by a quote in one of the video slides "Proceed as if success is inevitable". How can I not go forward? Thank you, Audra. Your gift in helping others to be set up for success is priceless and I am excited for my journey.
The HSR Staging and Redesign training course is a MUST if you are thinking of going into the business. I have taken so many notes and learned so much, but it's all the other stuff you don't think about that is GIVEN TO YOU so you can start your business right away. Audra provides all the forms for you to modify as your own and she gives you insider tips, strategies, and examples. What's really great is that you also receive information on "what not to do" and when you're just starting out that alone is so helpful to save you time, money and stress. Who doesn't want that? The HSR certification course is a well laid out training model that's easy to follow and the videos are very inspirational.
I am a stay at home mom of two little ones, and I love every moment of that. But I have been struggling with the idea of not having something that is mine; something I can build, take pride in, help my family financially with. I just felt stuck and emptied honestly.
Recently I finally decided to figure out what it was that I wanted to do, and my mind went to Staging. I have looked into it before, even almost attended another company's 3 day staging course, but it never clicked. Then I spoke with a Home Stager that had gone through HSR herself, and she recommended I attend a free webinar, and I knew then that this was the path for me.
I have loved every moment of training, and though I still feel anxious about officially having my own business, Audra's thorough and detailed classes, manual, and forms have given me confidence to jump in!
I plan to rewatch a few different lessons before my business is live, but I am so happy to have gone through this training, and I am excited for this next chapter I get to launch into!
Thank you Audra!
Through the HSR training, Audra gave me not only the tools that I needed to be successful but also the confidence to know that I can do this. It is certainly a lot of work to build a business, research, network and market your brand, but the HSR training made it enjoyable! It was especially helpful to learn all of the other opportunities that can come after starting your staging business like staging Airbnbs, partnering with vendors and realtors, and offering holiday decorating services. I'm excited to get my business up and running!
This training has been immeasurable! I know how to make a room look good, but now my business will look good! Everything down to the tiniest of details is covered for you to take and mold into your own model. I will forever be grateful that I found Audra's training and decided to take a chance!
I have enjoyed the training I have received from Audra at HSR! I have always had a love for design and redesigning spaces but her business ideas and experience with marketing has really made this an enjoyable and exciting experience for me! I enjoy the feedback and ideas shared on Stagers Connect and I look forward to being an HSR member for many years to come!
Audra Slinkey and Home Staging Resource provide the most extensive tools, resources, and training to successfully start your business in staging/redesign and more. While some say that staging can be done by anyone, with HSR training and the materials provided, HSR Certified Stagers/Redesigners become the professional experts in this field.
I have been in a corporate Director level of visual merchandising and design for over 25 years, therefore I contemplated that I even needed this certification.... But I am glad I did. The classes focus heavily on building a staging BUSINESS which I found extremely helpful! Audra also provides a TON of forms so I don't have to spend weeks doing this, I can get started right away! So glad I did this. LOVE IT! Thank you!
I am so glad I took this course. It took me longer then expected to complete; however Audra has prepared me in more ways then I ever expected. I cannot thank her enough and can't wait to start my next class with her!
Audra, I finished your new Airbnb vacation rental design course. Thank you so much for this course! This was the third course purchased from you. There is much information to process. I am going through it course for a second time so I can absorb the information and extract your handouts and Canva templates you provide as lead-funnels to incorporate into my website.
I have been in Residential Real Estate for over 20 years, incorporating staging with my projects. The last 5 years working with an investor on flip properties. I have learned to provide an aspirational experience for buyers of properties online and in person. The Airbnb was on my radar but I was unsure how to break into this sector of the business. My goal is to focus my business more on design. I can parlay my design and project management skills into this new venture. I think the courses complement one another very well. Thank you again.
