How to Get Your Staging Certification

Depending on where you live, a career choice that could be right for you is that of home stager. Some states have a higher demand for home staging professionals than others, so check the market before jumping into this career field. If you decide you want to get your staging certification, you must successfully pass an accredited staging course. Getting these credentials can help you sell your services to home sellers more easily than if you had no certification.

There are many distance learning opportunities when it comes to getting your home staging education. For example Home Staging Resource, or HSR, offers a 21-day course that teaches you what you need to know about staging homes for clients. Another company is called the Academy of Staging and Redesign and offers a variety of course options for aspiring stagers. You may be wondering exactly what you will learn from these courses. By the time you are finished, you should understand the key elements of how to stage a house for sale.

Staging a home involves a detailed analysis of both the exterior and the interior. There may be changes that need to be made outside, such as lighting, landscaping or renovations. Because as the old saying goes, you never get a second chance to make a first impression. And when a potential home buyer gets a glimpse of your home from the outside, that is the first impression that forms in their mind. Of course, the interior of the house is just as important if not more so. Trained home stagers know how to decorate and choose colors that are appealing. They can spot trouble areas in an instant and turn them into areas of beauty and serenity.

Getting your staging certification may cost you a few thousand dollars, but if you are in the right place for this career field it can be lucrative. Big cities are more likely to have a need for home stagers than small towns where people usually prepare their homes themselves or with the help of their real estate agent. For geographic locations where stagers are in high demand, you can work for a staging company or start your own company. It all depends on how you like to work. Are you more of a team player, or do you want to be your own boss? In the world of professional home staging, these are choices an educated stager has at their disposal.
