Model Home Staging
Secrets to Model Home Staging
I’m so excited to announce an advanced training class I’m adding to the HSR Certification program on Successful Model Home Staging. This class is free to Home Staging Resource members and will cover EVERY aspect of designing and staging a model home.
I created this class because I had so many members get calls from new home builders and I wanted to make sure they were well prepared to handle this business!
If you are a home builder looking for a stager who is well-trained in handling model home staging, click here to go to our directory
Here’s what I go over in my class and what YOU should know about model home staging:
- How to Define the Buyer Demographic and Create Your Home Owner Profile – My 10-step research process that is critical to selling your concept to the builder and setting yourself apart from your competition
- Five Design Rules for Every Model Home – These are rules of thumb that should never be broken
- Audra’s Five-Step Formula for Design Success – I’m very clear on how you should pick your finishes, fixtures, furnishings, window treatments, art and accessories for these homes. What to splurge on and what to save on so you get the most bang for the builder’s buck!
- Training Your Eye Using My Formula – I show you an easy way to know exactly how to design for your area plus over 50 photo examples
- Most Important Questions to Ask the Builder – The interview sheet and why the answers will determine your price, services and concept
- Sharing Your Vision – How to easily create a concept board that communicates your vision and expertise while NOT looking cartoony!
- How to Price Your Services – What the builder expects, customizing your quote, working within budget, getting what you’re worth and setting expectations!
- Setting Up Your Critical Vendor List – Using my design formula, there are critical vendors you will want to source your materials from that I recommend.
Plus…all the forms, price guides, interview sheet, step-by-step process, vendor list (trade discounts), product ideas and more!
The live webinar will be this Wednesday, March 11 at 10am (pacific time) and will go at least 2 hours. I may have to break it up into 2-parts since there’s a lot to go over! If you are an HSR member, login to the Members Area to attend but don’t worry, I will be recording this session and adding it to the advanced section of the training.
By the way, much of the process I outline will be perfect for your design clients as well!
XOXO – Happy Staging!

The Business of Home Staging
Knowing the Business of Home Staging
I love to share stories of personal growth and business success because I know it touches on our basic, core needs: to learn, be needed and to do something important and of value.

Nancy’s story touched me because she was not only surprised by her growth, she was able to truly help a house flipper turn a property that was sitting on the market for 5 weeks into something that sold immediately after she staged it. According to the recent 2014 home staging statistics, this is no surprise! Here’s her before-and-after photos and her story:

Hi Audra,
I wanted to take some time and really digest this journey. When I finally decided to bite the bullet and take the plunge and sign up with Home Staging Resource I had no idea of the personal growth that I would experience. I was always confident in my ability to stage a property. However it was the business side of home staging that really held me back...

Thank you for all you taught me. The major surprise for me was how much my confidence grows every day!
After – www.NancyTheStager.com
As you know I did my first job and got hired by the same client to do another house before I finished the first job. When I did finish and the house was listed in sold in 6 days. They have already hired me to stage the next property they are flipping before it goes on the market.

This industry has changed me in many ways, but the one that is most obvious is that I finally believe that I can do anything that I set my mind to. I really love the whole process, I love looking at a space and seeing in my mind what needs to be done. I love the shopping and putting everything together, but most of all I love getting the call telling me a property has been sold. That is very satisfying to my soul.

Thank you again for all you do for the staging industry and more importantly all of us who had a dream and you helped us achieve it!
