QUESTION:
seeking home staging course (online?) I wanted to know what r some good courses and how 2...?
...find them.
I love home staging, I do it as a hobby, with no structure or formal training. I wanted to take a course and was wondering it it would be worth it. I see all these offers for home staging courses but I am trying to weed out the good vs the hype.-
ANSWER:
Home Staging ResourceA very complete course that includes all of the needed forms as well as an optional marketing module to help you market your services. Their own Certification is included.
Probably the best of the Home Staging Courses if you have the budget to invest this kind of money to get started. However, unless you do have an unlimited budget, you do not need to start at this level.
Cost: 5 for Basic Home Staging Course + 5 for Marketing Solutions module
Home Staging Experts
One of my friends took this Home Staging Course and liked it although she had to come to me for some extra help with the forms she needed and advice on how to market her services. The course did seem to offer quite a bit of good information on what is needed to properly prepare a home for sale and includes more instruction on the techniques and philosophies of interior decorating than most other courses.
Cost: 9.00 for home study course and a year registration fee
Home Staging Training Group
This is an excellent "getting started" home staging course. It does not go into all of the detail on the mechanics of Interior Decorating as some of the more expensive courses but does cover all of the information a person needs to do a proper job of home staging and does include a complete portfolio of needed forms as well as very good advice on how to market your business with a minimum of personal effort.
You may want to consider one of the more in-depth home staging courses at a later date, after you have some profits coming in but I have two friends that are running very nice Home Staging businesses with only this training.
Cost: .00 home study course and comes with an almost unheard of Money Back Guarantee
