  • This course will help you understand the psychology behind home staging. It is filled with easily implemented tips that will help your sellers present their properties in the most positive light, with the least amount of effort and cost.
     
    We will walk through a typical house and describe the basics of how to begin staging. Then we’ll move from room to room with suggestions about how to change and improve a home’s presentation so that it attracts and motivates buyers to buy.
     
    We will also look at staging from the flip side: working with buyers to help them envision and realize the potential in homes that need simple cosmetic fixes or updating. 
  • This course will help you identify key property problems that will hamper marketing efforts. An emphasis is placed on finding effective, yet simple and inexpensive, solutions for seller and buyer clients. You will learn these staging skills from experience-based examples, case studies, and itemized procedures.
