Staging Classes

 

The Art and Psychology of
Converting a Home into a House for Sale
Staging is a decorating niche that focuses on helping properties sell in minimum time for maximum dollars. CNN reports that staging is the #1 recession proof career. Staging is decorating for a target market with the psychology of today’s ever changing real estate market. Just like merchandising a model home or a retail store, smart Sellers and Realtors know that helping a property look its best will improve saleability. Understanding the difference between“Decorating to Dwell” and “Decorating to Sell” is a key element of The Decorating and Staging Academy certification training.Learn how to create a desire and an offer for a property with placement, color, accessorizing and an understanding of the human psyche. In addition to the creative side of staging, each class also covers the business and marketing necessary to build a successful business, including the unique ACTION Scoring System.To help you launch your business or gain new skills,we offer a variety of training opportunities, for the newbie or experienced staging professional.
