Online Class

You asked for it! You got it! The online class option is finally here. We are all so happy.

 

I feel like I just gave birth to a long overdue baby. Whew! I’m tired but euphoric!

 

While we feel that the Jacksonville award-winning hands-on training course is the best staging/training class in the country and the best way to get equipped for this new industry, not everyone can come to our city… busy mom’s, real estate agents and many out west and in Canada. For those people, the online class is the next best thing. It contains all the content, color pictures and demonstrations that are in the on-site class.

 

The wonderful thing about this training is that you can attend the live-online tele-seminar, and you also get the physical product. As you attend the online class, you can reinforce your knowledge at your own pace with 7 DVD’s and 5 CD’s plus a comprehensive manual.

 

This has been a year in the making. Many online programs offer one or the other, online tele-seminar or physical product. We give you both.

 

During the tele-seminar, you will have an opportunity for feedback, questions and personal coaching.

 

You get 2 certifications:

* Professional level Real Estate Staging

* Professional level Interior Redesign

   They are honored everywhere.

 

List of items in the package:

A comprehensive manual

5 CD’s

7 DVD’s

The course covers:

Space planning

Color selection/Best staging/redesign paint colors

Art placement

Accessory placement

Staging secrets of the pros

Business Start-Up Info

How to get Designer/Contractor Prices

Marketing Your Business

Pricing Your Services

Forms and reports

Sample letters to clients

Leasing agreement

Liability waiver

Sample staging report

Color demo and fabric demo

Business and organizational forms

Resources gathered over a 20-year design career

Website creation and support

A money-back guarantee

 

It will be $1000. The first online class attendees will get a significant reduction. See details in red.

 

The value of the products alone is $1000. When you add the tele-seminar, it brings the total value to $1500. We are offering it for half of that price: $750 with free shipping, for a limited time. We will also add in a bonus optional DVD worth $125. It is a professionally filmed and edited staging/redesign from start to finish that you can show your clients. It cost nearly $2000 to produce and edit this film. We are also adding the Power Point with all the best “before and after” pictures from 5 years of classes. You can show your agents and clients. It almost guarantees you will get the job. It is worth $100.   

 

* $1725. value for $750 - Limited availability

* Hands-on practice can be arranged in your area for an additional cost.

* If you wish to take the Jacksonville class later, you get a 20% discount.

*Money-back guarantee, minus shipping costs (must be claimed within 24 hours of receipt of product package)

  

We are so happy to have another excellent option for all those people who want to have a home-based business with flexible hours. One of our recent graduate single moms just got $1200 after staging a large house. She also recently co-hosted a realtor’s luncheon for another rather expensive property and the house sold within days. Congratulations Kelly Norton from Total Home Management. 

 

The first three classes are going to be live tele-seminars on Monday and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings… 8 to 9 hours of instruction. Your product package will arrive the week before.

 The dates are:

 May 2nd, 5th and 7th

June 6th, 9th, and 11th

August 1st, 4th and 6th.

March Issue ‘11

 Hello and Happy Spring (almost),

I am euphoric about 2 important additions to our class.

Just this month, 2 student grads took advantage of our new source for stylish but reasonable websites. I think they are gorgeous.

If you look online, you’ll see that stager’s websites have been mediocre, at best. Since it is a visual business, the website must be exceptioal. Now we have a source for quick, reasonable sites. Tell me what you think:

 Cover for DVD

 

 Our big news is that the much anticipated online class is finally 99% ready. We will have our first classes in late March and April. We have a waiting list and a few openings for our inaugural classes. Contact us if you wish to be on the list.

 

These classes will be reduced in price as we tweak and revise. We

 are still not sure which is best… an intensive Friday/Saturday or a few nights a week for several weeks. Let us know what you think.

 

While we feel like the Jacksonville on-site class is the best way to get launched quickly, not everyone can get here. We have people in Canada, and various parts of the USA waiting for this… and closer to Florida, many mom’s who just can’t get away.

  

The DVD’s and CD’s are in production now and will be ready in

about a week. There will be more info on the website soon. We will send out an official announcement when all the ducks are in a row.
