Advanced Course - April 2025
I truly enjoyed taking this course. I actually found it calming, inspiring, smart, easy to follow, user friendly, truthful and familiar considering I work in short term vacation rentals and property management. There were also many other areas of starting up your own business which I was unfamiliar with such as certain technology pieces. The day we stop learning is the day we stop living. There are always so many tricks & tips to learn & I feel so much better equipped to go out there and birth a new business. I am obsessed with creating vignettes now! Thank you Home Staging Institute!

Advanced Course - December 2024
I fell into this by accident. My childhood home was built in 1967. My mother recently went into assisted living and we were tasked with getting the most possible. I staged it myself with what I thought would look good, and 5 different realtors wanted the card of the stager. I put a business plan together and open shop January 1st. This course was a gift. It literally goes over every aspect providing good solid advice and tons of forms.
