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.
I am impressed beyond words at the value that I received with the Home Staging Resource Certification program. I am still overwhelmed with the information provided and know that I will use the members site and the manual for a very long time! I am a full time corporate associate during the day working as a Director in the Human Resources field. It took me 3 months to finish this 3 week program, so do not think that you can't do it. I just finished my first home staging consultation a few days ago and I am now partnered with a local agent that has already booked consultation #2! I am truly excited about this program and what it has provided me to kick start 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!
I have to admit, at first I was skeptical to do an online training versus a live training...boy was I wrong for ever doubting that. The amount of material that I obtained through Audra's online training was remarkable!! The added bonus is that I have all the information and training tools readily available at my disposal. The team was very helpful when I had questions. I highly recommend getting a website, best decision besides making the decision to go with Audra for my training!
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!
The HSR Training allows me to bring my passion to life! I have always had a sweet tooth for staging & design.
The HSR tools & resources are invaluable. I feel as though I have the step by step process to set up a successful business. This allows me to become the Spiritual Farmer to pour myself back into my family, my clients & my community. I love positively impacting people's lives & this allows me to fuel my creative juices.
Audra is brilliant & beautiful! Thank you for your sharing your talents & expertise with me! Grateful to be apart of the HSR Community. Creative Souls Unite!
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!!!
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 !
The HSR training was phenomenal. Audra really went above and beyond with the training, guides, design modules and supporting documentation. The information she's provided has made this business turn-key. Also by using videos and walking us through critiques, real life situations, and examples, I was able to develop confidence in taking on this new chapter in my life. I can't wait to get my first staging job!
This course was a treasure trove of valuable information, equipping me with everything I needed to confidently start my own staging and redesign business. The course materials were outstanding, featuring excellent templates and resources that made the learning process a breeze. The comprehensive training provided was truly the best I've experienced, covering all aspects of staging and redesign in a clear and engaging manner. Thanks to this course, I now feel equipped and confident to embark on my new business venture. I highly recommend this course, it's an investment that will truly propel your career forward.
I've been an interior designer for over 30 years. I wanted to add home staging to my services but had no idea how to charge for the staging. Getting my certification from HSR answered my questions as well as gave me creative marketing ideas to reenergize my existing design business.
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.
Home Staging Resource-Staging and Redesign Course is by far the best course I have taken in regards to how to start a business and how to market your business. These techniques can be used across any industry! I wish I would have listened to my intuition and taken the course years ago; I feel more confident in my career in the Home Staging & Organization and Real Estate Industry having completed this course.
Thank you for your great training! I feel equipped to begin my new journey as an entrepreneur in the home staging realm. Thanks to my great business partner and her real estate investor contacts we already have our first job, a $2M new home vacant staging project, and our business hasn’t even officially launched yet!
Most of all, I am thrilled that as we gain practical experience this year, we’ll continue to have access to all your great education, plus live webinars and the valuable Stagers Connect community of experts in the field to continue training our eye and honing our skills.
From day one, I’ve enjoyed your calm, relatable, belief building personality via video and live webinars, and greatly appreciate the in-depth knowledge you’ve shared to effectively market our business. I can’t wait to meet you in person some day soon hopefully at a future conference.
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!!!
I came to the HSR training program with a background of several decades in Learning & Development. As you can probably imagine, it is challenging for me to take classes of any kind (live, recorded, or virtual) without distracting thoughts of how the objectives are not clear, content isn't cohesive, or the speaker isn't engaging. I'm thrilled to say that after three intense weeks, I am thrilled with Audra's training.
The program sequence makes sense. It reminds me of walking up to a map in the middle of a theme park. It's easy to see where you've been, where you are, and where you're headed next. While I followed the sequence as is, I appreciate that I had the option to jump around.
Now that I'm certified, I go forward with confidence. I have tool box full of tools I'll use and more importantly, I know how to use them. If I have any questions or concerns going forward, I know Audra and the HSR community are there for me.
If you're considering education for staging and redesign, I researched every option out there before deciding on HSR. It is the very best and I'm proud to be part of the family. You'll be in safe hands here.
So much great information, strategies and insights. I am most impressed with the level of support and encouragement. Thank you Audra for a great course! Can’t wait to put it into practice!
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!
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!
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
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.
With over 30 years experience in the decorating/design field, I didn’t think I would get that much from the training. A friend convinced me to take the course just to see if we were missing something. I was certainly surprised at all the information available, I learned plenty! What is fantastic is all the resources and forms available to use. It was very helpful to for us to start offering staging in our business. Thanks, Audra!
This training has been amazing. Everything you could think of wanting to learn in this industry is provided for you. I love that Audra's main mantra is that there is nothing new under the sun so don't reinvent the wheel but be creative. She provides you with forms, sell sheets, example contracts, verbiage to use, everything! This is a lot of information to process but it's so worth it and I feel 10 times more confident starting this business because I have these resources available to me and the training under my belt.
I truly enjoyed the training, it gave me confidence and knowledge that I was looking for to gain. The information was clear and easy to follow and truly feel ready to start my business and be successful.
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.
I always wanted to get into staging for a profession. After working in corporate America for a few years, I felt emotionally drained and burnt out. Whenever I decided to start working for myself, fear would set in, and I would just let it go. One day on YouTube, I saw this video about leaving your job and going into staging. I didn’t think much of it and decided to watch it. The video was of Audra sitting in her beautiful room, discussing the benefits of staging and how the market was booming. I KNEW this was a sign. At the end of the video, she provided the information to sign up for her training. I was hesitant to start a training course for staging. I felt I was good at decorating and designing; there was nothing I couldn't just learn on my own. I was so wrong. The training has prepared me so much. I have learned all of the ins-and-outs about staging, marketing, pricing, plus more. The videos were easy to follow. It kept my attention. Audra explained everything in a way that made sense. And it seemed doable. I feel confident to take what I have learned and finally fulfill my dreams. I am so glad I invested in myself with this program. I don't think there would have been an easier way to learn the amount of stuff I have learned doing it on my own. I can not wait to see what the future holds for Beau Staging & Design, and I have to thank Audra for that. Iesha
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 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.
Wow, this training was everything I could have needed and more! I knew without a doubt that this was the career for me but I had no idea how to make it happen. I found the HSR website and I signed up for the free live class happening the following night. The class really showed me how much I needed to take this course. I filled pages on pages in my notebook just from the 1 hour class. I knew the training would be so helpful and informative and I was right! I now feel so confident to start my own business! I can't thank the HSR team enough!
Audra's training program far surpassed my expectations. She is very knowledgeable and is eager to share her expertise in her course, in her live webinars, and in her generous free videos she makes available online. I would not have had the confidence if it were not for Audra's training. I now have all the tools required and an enormous amount of knowledge and guidance to steer me in the right direction.
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.
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!
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.
This training was awesome! I will admit that I was intimidated stepping out into a new career, but Audra's training has fueled my fire and passion to move forward. Learning how to stage and redesign homes, and how to run by business has prepared me for my mission to help individuals and my community at top level!
This training was absolutely amazing, it gave me so much more confidence to start up my business. I would have never had the courage to move forward with all the resources Audra provided for us. I could not thank you enough for putting all your knowledge into this training to make me pursue a career for myself. If you are looking for resources and be more knowledgeable to take this training with Audra Slinkey.
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.
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!
Fantastic training program! Audra is so easy-going, real, knowledgeable and hits all the nails right on the head! She gives you a friendly, realistic, amazingly organized and reassuring presentation in her videos ...and I love her giggle and inviting glass of wine! LOL I never tire of watching and listening to Audra! The manual is a treasure trove of invaluable information, tips, worksheets, progressive subjects and chapters...very very detailed and covers an amazing amount of ground! I was a home furnishings store design consultant for years working with clients and a realtor who staged my listings and some other agents' listings so I've worked with clients and agents every which way, and Audra really understands all angles and aspects and brings that specialized training to you! The training is a great combination of manual and videos and the extra support she offers in fb stagers connect, workshops online, resources, etc is super! I would highly recommend HSR and the professional credentials in completing the program and certification you earn!
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!
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 have truly enjoyed the HSR certification program. I learned a lot about business, marketing and home staging concepts. I loved the live videos you did also. I am not a tech person so it is most helpful that you give us great outlines for agreements and all the appropriate paperwork to get started without spending all that time recreating forms. From day one to the very end it is a great program I will recommend to everyone. 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!
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!
Wow! I have learned so much about every aspect of Staging and Redesign as well as how to successfully market my business. Audra is a marketing genius, no doubt! The forms and downloads are such a bonus and the references to web-based tools are very helpful. She even offers an incredible website and training tools, E-design and Color design training. She connects you with other Stagers so you feel a part of a team. I highly recommend HSR Staging and Redesign Training.
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.
I've enjoyed the training so much. It is so thorough and provides all the details that you need to get your business started. The support provided by Audra and her team is amazing and super responsive! I highly recommend.
I am a Realtor and loved staging my listing and always had a passion for design, so I decided to jump in with a partner to start a staging business. Audra's class has a wealth of knowledge and resources. I thought I knew a lot but WOW and learned so much! Thank You Home Staging Resource.
I am thankful for the HSR course and Audra's leadership. I recognized early on, that my passion alone for interior decorating wasn't enough to move ahead in this industry. Audra provides the knowledge on how to BUILD A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS. As a result of taking this course, I have since stepped out on faith, resigned my position as an Elementary School Administrator and I am going all in!
Audra always talks about finding your people in relation to the clients you work for, the vendors you work with and even the trainers you watch and learn from. After looking at a couple of other staging programs, I watched Audra's introductory video and knew I had found my person. The training was presented in a way that was easy to understand and everything was provided, which I couldn't believe. There's no guess work or confusion and the material is exactly what I needed. I'm so glad I chose Home Staging Resources!
As a Real Estate Broker Associate, I sometimes get homes to put on the market that need a little bit of help being presentable. I have two bins of quick decorations that I replace with some of their decorations. I never charged them for it as long as I had the listing. Lately its been more like putting a table, staging the kitchen and the bathrooms and that all costs money. I decided to look into Home staging Resources and loved all the knowledge and ideas that were in the program. My mindset now is to work my staging business as a BUSINESS and not be so generous in supplying everything for free.
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.
The HSR training program has truly exceeded my expectations. I researched various programs for several months before deciding on HSR. Attending Audra's Happy Hours solidified my choice, as I really enjoyed her teaching style and the information she provided was like GOLD! All I could think was, "If the Free Happy Hours are this informative, I can only imagine the wealth of information that lies within the program!"
This course has challenged everything I thought I knew about design and staging, and pushed me way out of my comfort zone. I started the program feeling a bit overwhelmed and unsure if I would ever retain everything I was learning. Sure enough, by the end of each day, I felt more confident in my skills and my ability to deliver quality service to my clients.
I am now fully-equipped to take my business to the next level. Many thanks to Audra and the entire HSR team!
I started this in-depth training during COVID 19 season. I was already "sheltering in place" but we were actually not at our home. I had been staying at our lake house which was mostly vacant with a few staged pieces while on the market to sell. Imagine that. I had a ton of time to dedicate to this and enjoyed every moment. Audra has a clear and decisive way of teaching with the tone she is simply sitting across the table talking with you over coffee. The training in so comprehensive and I honestly do not feel I am missing a thing! If you are like me when I started, you don't know what you don't know! Audra takes care of that. I am so grateful to be able to utilize the wealth of information on the members site as I will need it to refresh continually while starting this business. I learned to stage with the few pieces I had here at our lake house and while I could not get that room shot or "money shot" I know I will have it very quickly! Audra, your kindness and generosity is a blessing. Thank you.
I am very thankful for Audra and her staff. If I had any questions, they were quick to respond, and the program is well laid out and full of information. It took a few months to decide as to which company to choose. I wasn’t looking to learn how to stage or design, but I did need a certificate for staging, and I felt I was weak in business skill. HSR is filled with information in staging, business knowledge and most of all confidence building. I am very happy with the results and would tell anyone this is the course to take.
Fantastic training program! Audra is so easy-going, real, knowledgeable and hits all the nails right on the head! She gives you a friendly, realistic, amazingly organized and reassuring presentation in her videos ...and I love her giggle and inviting glass of wine! LOL I never tire of watching and listening to Audra! The manual is a treasure trove of invaluable information, tips, worksheets, progressive subjects and chapters...very very detailed and covers an amazing amount of ground! I was a home furnishings store design consultant for years working with clients and a realtor who staged my listings and some other agents' listings so I've worked with clients and agents every which way, and Audra really understands all angles and aspects and brings that specialized training to you! The training is a great combination of manual and videos and the extra support she offers in fb stagers connect, workshops online, resources, etc is super! I would highly recommend HSR and the professional credentials in completing the program and certification you earn!
This has been the best staging course I've done! It offers everything you need without the additional cost! Well worth every cent!
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 researched a lot of home staging training programs before I decided on HSR. Initially, I started my training with a cheap alternative, and unfortunately, you get what you pay for. Round two, I took my time and weighed the pros and cons of several programs. I'm glad I went with Audra's. It was the redesign component along with Audra's personality that were my eventual reasons for choosing HSR. You get a tremendous amount of value and it's nicely balanced with reading material and videos.
I am so thankful I took Audra's course! I'm a Realtor in the Las Vegas area and staging is essential to selling a home much quicker for more money for our clients! In a very competitive market, real estate agents know and understand the importance of having the home staged! Now that I have learned the tricks and have gained more knowledge I'm ready! Next is the eDesign course! Thank you Audra!
The training I received from HSR helped me bring all of the concepts of a running a business in interior design/staging all together. In the past, I struggled with how much to charge the client and ended up giving so many hours away. I really like the semi concrete pricing and structure regarding hourly rates and half day room redesigns etc. I also learned so much regarding where to shop, how to charge on wholesale items. Audra's training is really compacted with great information that is essential to starting a business in staging or redesign.
I have learned a ....tremendous.... amount of useful education with Audra Slinkey and the HSR Certification Training! All of the information is written in an organized way that coordinates with the online training format. Audra details every aspect concisely, also giving you forms and formats that you can copy and paste to reuse for your own business. Who does that? I have really enjoyed opening up Audra's website each morning to dive into learning something new. Then reviewing the printed material to study by and to refresh my memory before continuing. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in staging and design!
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'm so glad that I found Home Staging Resource I learned so much helpful information that I was able to apply to my staging business.
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!
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!
What can I say Audra. You were the very first staging company that I selected when I started my staging business back in 2017 and here I am still. One of the reasons I selected you, there were many, was "hands down" all of the resources you provided. I am a resource queen myself and you totally spoke my language. Since then, I have taken your Color course and most recently E-Design. I must make a confession here, even though I absolutely love my successful vacant staging business, I am secretly having a love affair with everything color, design & redesign.
Thank you for opening up some many wonderful opportunities within this industry for so many of us and for having a huge positive impact on my life. I look forward to 2021 and seeing what is on the horizon for you and your next award winning innovation.
Warm Regards,
Theresa Ceglio, We Stage Jacksonville

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.
I just completed the HSR training which is by far the best certification program out there!!! I researched a lot of the staging training companies, and you will not receive all of the knowledge that Audra shares in any other program. You get so much information and resources that it is mind blowing. I can't wait to get my business up and running!!
Thank you Audra, this course was beyond my expectations. It was slow going for me at first because of how much information was provided, once I got use to the style and organization of the website, I'm so appreciative of all the forms and the videos you shared. All of the THE MARKETING SECTION, cannot say enough about this aspect of your training. These are all questions I had when I started the program, "how am I going to market?" You answered every question before I could even ask it!
After retiring from my career as a school teachers and administrator, I was looking for a new pt-time career in design and eager to be trained through a solid, affordable program that encompassed design, redesign and how to get a business started.
HRS alllowed me to work at my own pace. Audra keeps it fresh and stimulating even in a pandemic with virtual happy hours and tips for e-design. I love being a member of such a supportive and encouraging group - always willing to help. Thank you!
I think your training is fabulous! You cover a lot of practical detail and make it very enjoyable to learn. The amount of templates you have created to give us a jump start is above and beyond and truly the key to helping us make a success of this new offering. While I have been a Stager and designer since 2006, and have designed a few STRs along the way, I still learned a great deal! There is something for everyone at all levels. This is a new focus for me, and there's a lot to learn if you want to do it right and provide maximum value to clients. The information, processes, templates and the ability to network with others in this specialty are going to provide enormous value to my business. I'm so glad I signed up. Thank you for putting this training together for us!
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.
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 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!
Audra's Training is very comprehensive and she has taken all the guess-work out of the equation. She even makes sure to enhance and add to the training regularly content, so it remains current and relevant. This allow us to keep up with current industry trends and remain competitive.
Thanks Audra!
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.
The training provided by HSR & Audra is top notch. The program is loaded with value providing materials and a step by step plan in design and how to start and operate your business. This training really is from A-Z
I have really enjoyed the HSR training. It provides a good balance between the design and business sides of the staging business. While I have the passion for design and a general business background, the training has provided a great roadmap to get our business up and running in a timely manner with an efficient foundation so that we can focus on the part of the business we enjoy!
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.
Aurda's training has been a fun, motivational, and educational resource in starting my own business. Having completed the HSR Staging and Redesign Certification Course I feel like I have all the tools I need to start my own business and really thrive. The training really helped lay out the foundation to be successful! Thank You Aurda for sharing your passion and knowledge!
I started my business as a Professional Organizer in 2018. I knew that I wanted to grow my business, but I was lacking in the resources of branding and marketing myself. Taking this training, I'm not going to lie, it has been very overwhelming for me. It felt like I was being stretched like a rubber band. On top of that I am not tech savvy. Double whammy!! Above all I am grateful and blessed. I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank Audra for the work that she has done in helping me overcome my fears and doubts. Because of this training not only have I gained confidence in myself, I also feel I gained a friend in Audra.
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.
My degree is in nursing. When I was a little kid, I knew I wanted to help others. I had been saying for two years that I was not equipped or qualified to be staging homes for my husbands real estate business yet I was doing it and helping families. HSR gave me the confidence I needed to step into homes and feel like I belonged there with a purpose. It really simplified the process while giving me the tools I need for successful consultations and a plan to help others. I started this class the week our state was shut down in the middle of a pandemic. I have been busier than ever!! Audra's webinars gave me additional tools for virtual consultations and I haven't looked back. Thank you Audra!
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!
I am an interior decorator and wanted to add more services to my business. I took Audra's Home Staging course and learned so much. Now I am confident in my ability to stage and grow my business.
Thanks Audra!
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%.
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.
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.
Excellent & informative training, very easy to follow. The library of forms are very helpful to get your business up and running right away.
Audra's Home Staging Training is fun and comprehensive. Having a background in art & design I was impressed with her knowledge and pulling it all together for staging & redesign. There is a ton of information here! The business foundation is comprehensive and the checklist makes it easy to stay organized by checking off all the completed boxes. The best part about all of it is Audra makes it fun and digestible! You're not going to get that anywhere else! I highly recommend HSR and I look forward to my next course in E-design!
This training has been amazing! In addition to the awesome decorating modules, the business training is beyond thorough! Audra's explanation of each business matter takes away any self doubt! Starting a new business is scary, of course, but this training will give you the courage of knowledge you need!
Signing up for the Home Staging Resource's 21-Day HSR Certification Training is the best decision I made for myself and my business. The cost is justified in the amount of forms you receive alone and the videos and training materials are a huge bonus! Audra truly sets you up for success and CARES about that success. I feel prepared, knowledgeable and supported and couldn't be happier that I found Audra and the HSR community!
Audra Slinkey and the HSR training has been outstanding! I searched many staging training companies before deciding on this one and I know without a doubt, I found the best! I have been a stager for 8 years, but never had the confidence to take my business to the next level until going through this training. EVERY element of training you need, and more, are found in Audra's training! She is thorough, organized, concise and genuine! She truly wants you to succeed and makes sure you have all the tools to do so. She is also very involved and makes you feel like a friend and not just another student! I would highly recommend her training to anyone thinking about joining the staging industry!
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!
As my friend and business partner discussed focusing on Home Staging, I wanted to learn about everything regarding home staging. I looked at several training options and decided on Audra's program based on the reviews, price and that I could do it online. The HSR program is great and gives way more information that I ever would've thought. You definitely get more than you pay for!
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.
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.
I enjoyed everything about the Home Staging Resource course. Audra over delivered and exceeded all my expectations. For a home program the sessions were quite robust and covered an array of topics for establishing your Home Staging business. The handbook and videos were well organized, providing you with concise tips and tricks of the trade so you can easily navigate through the staging industry. No reason to recreate the wheel, HSR provides you with all the forms, resources and knowledge so you can spend the time building your business and branding yourself.
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.
