“If you have the chance to take this course, you should do it!”
Top 2% Realtor with Coldwell Banker, Jennifer Coulson, shares how the Home Staging Expert® Certification Course has been instrumental in her real estate career across two luxury vacation markets!
"Enjoyed the class! The course manual has a great summary of tips with photos and examples. The in-person course was very rewarding. Not only did we get an opportunity to apply concepts, but we were also able to learn from each other and gain insights from multiple people’s perspectives and experience. No amount of book learning can replace the value of hands-on practical application!"
- Janet Meier, EXP Realty, Ventura County, California
“I loved the class, loved my instructor and felt like it was the best class of all time. I didn’t believe that learning home staging was necessary for me, but now I feel like it’s mandatory, even in this crazy, busy real estate market. I work in the high-end home range and typically the homes are well appointed, but I still feel it’s imperative to stage those homes. I have a $5.3 million dollar property I listed just before the workshop, then went back and used what I learned. Now it looks drop dead gorgeous!” - Audrey Will, Luxury Real Estate, Sotheby’s International Realty
"This workshop was a game changer for me when it came to working with sellers!" - Stephanie Kroll, milehimodern, Denver, Colorado
“Lori delivered an outstanding 2-Day Workshop on home staging. The hands-on experience allowed us to directly apply the principles and suggestions covered in the lectures. The class had a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere, where everyone was encouraged to share their thoughts and feedback. This supportive environment fostered active participation and helped reinforce the staging concepts and practices discussed throughout the workshop.” - Mark Standridge, Compass, Houston, Texas
"The 1-Day Home Staging Workshop taught by Lori Matzke was an amazing learning experience that helped us put into practice and solidify the 4 key principles in staging a home to showcase its best features. I really appreciated Lori’s teaching style, which fostered a casual and collaborative atmosphere. She encouraged us to explore our ideas and try them out. We re-worked each space in collaboration with other students; some rooms were more challenging than others and it was a real confidence builder to reach that ‘aha' moment when our ideas and objectives came into alignment. I highly recommend!"
- Janet Hu, Berkshire Hathaway, Carlsbad, California
“Thanks for such a fun and productive workshop! I loved it and felt like I was ‘with my people’. I can see why you are so good at what you do! You have inspired me to add this service to my business.” - Deb McCracken, Coldwell Banker, Minnesota
“An ideal course for beginners as well as seasoned agents. Beginners will learn the principles of what’s important about staging and how to effectively deliver a staged space. More experienced agents will be able to hone-in and refine the core strategies that bring consistency to a wide variety of scenarios. Both groups will get a wealth of resources and guidelines.”
- Creighton Grose, Compass, Atlanta, Georgia
“I really enjoyed the Home Staging Expert® workshop. I found the information extremely insightful and helpful. The information about how staging differs from interior design really helped me understand what my job as a staging professional is. Talking about how to find a focal point, create space in a room, and the advantage of having open space to give clients walking through the house room to imagine their own belongings in the space were all great information. I also appreciated the information about how to create/run/manage your staging business was helpful.”
“I have been staging homes for a while without any formal training. I wanted to take this class to help me take my staging abilities to the next level for my clients. Even though the market is moving quickly and I wouldn’t have to take these extra steps, I do because I think and plan for the long haul.”
“The property went under contract quickly and I attribute my success totally to what I learned in the HSE course. Thank you so much!”
“I enjoyed learning the difference between interior design and staging. I also appreciate the tips for how to structure a staging estimate vs hands on staging for a client. This will help me immensely in my listing presentations with potential sellers.”
“Great instructor, patient, fun and altogether a great class!! Well worth the cost.”
“The instructor was very knowledgeable and made the class fun and very interactive. I was able to meet and collaborate with other Realtors who had the same interest. After taking this workshop, I feel very confident in my staging abilities and will apply every concept that I have learned into my staging projects.”
“I really advise anyone to take this class! It is definitely worth it! I’ve been selling houses with my team and staging them for about 20 years now and I learned a lot of new tricks!”
