THE RESP® CERTIFICATION
How to become a successful home staging business owner
Home staging is not a regulated industry. Unlike real estate, you can choose to ignore professional training. And people who do often struggle, fall into debt buying inventory without planning, and give up within their first year of business. But your clients deserve more.
Professional home staging certification means you know exactly what steps to take.
You won’t waste time panicking about your first consultation or researching beginner questions like “should I buy inventory” or worse, get stuck in a cash flow crisis. And no high-performing real estate agent will ever pass you over for your lack of training!
Clients and agents need to have confidence in your expertise to hire you. When you’re a certified home stager, your credibility is guaranteed.
“Home Staging is an effective sales technique that integrates decorating with marketing and creates an experience for home buyers.
It’s about more than just furnishing a home – it’s about selling a lifestyle.”
– Shauna Lynn Simon
Lead instructor of SLS Academy & Founder of Beyond the Stage Homes
