3 DAY HOME STAGING CERTIFICATION COURSE
One-Day Decorating, CHF Academy & Certified Home Staging Academy Certifications
What It’s Not
This is not your basic, "clean off the counters and empty the closets" staging class. This fun and exciting three-day workshop blends classroom learning and hands-on experience to help you:
- Assess client personalities to best present your message
- Leverage the Psychology of Color and Art when staging a home
- Learn our proprietary Action Scoring System
- Take advantage of tools that no other staging class provides.
- Gain instant confidence when dealing with realtors and homeowners.
Come One, Come All
Our classes are designed to fit a variety of learning styles – part textbook, part discussion, part real-life, hands-on experience (did we leave anyone out?).
You’ll receive a comprehensive manual, and a classroom workbook that accompanies our Power Point Presentation.
Taking It to the Streets
You’ll get double your money's worth as you apply what you learn in real homes –
each offering a different staging challenge in real homes for real people.
Some will be fabulous and some will be much less than fabulous...that's the "real" in "real world."
Minding Your Business
We won't just teach you staging, we'll get you up to speed on developing business skills such as:
- How to begin
- Basic business principles
- Public relations
- Marketing
- Advertising
- Additional ways to add to your income

Class Agenda
Day one-Staging Professional
Learn how to implement the ODD proprietary scoring system, ACTION©,
a numerical evaluation to establish the preparedness of a house for sale.
This unique scoring system will have you talking confidently about the staging
process with both sellers and Realtors as it gives you an edge that is not just
based on your subjective opinion. Learn the "Secrets that SELL"
Day two-Field trip
Each aspect of the class will provide you the pleasure of learning in real homes to hone your skills and showcase your talents.
This will also launch your portfolio to share with your future clients. You may also be part of a shopping experience if a client
provides a budget. Not only is shopping fun, but you will learn how to make it lucrative. Then it is time for the "Bus Driver,
Move that Bus"moment when the homeowner returns to see the result of your hard work.
Be prepared for jumping up and down and sometimes, even tears of joy.
Day three-Business of Business
Wrap up your learning with the ODD Business in a Box, which will provide you with a guide to launching and marketing your business.
Continue your learning with the BONUS follow-up webinars, which will review what you learned and focus on advanced business and marketing skills.
Be prepared for an exciting, exhausting, and empowering experience.

Testimonials
I had one of the best class-room experiences while attending the One Day Decorating course with DesAnn. It was hands on and I learned a wealth of information. Because of this experience I will be able to further grow my real estate career and bring faster sales to my team. Thank you DesAnn for sharing your knowledge and helping to further inspire me!!

I want to personally thank you for encouraging me to enroll in this class. It was more than I expected, truly. You put such emotion into the class which made it very real. We weren't lectured to, items were discussed and there's a huge difference. Oh how I could make those comparisons to some of those boring college classes. And there IS no comparison.
Once again, I want to thank you for a wonderful experience. Getting to know you better is something I look forward to in the future as well. So, thank you!!

I was very impressed with the entire three day agenda, her warm reception, and with the marketing materials placed at each of our locations. These would easily rival the training materials presented at the Fortune 300 Company I was employed at for 23 years! DesAnn is an excellent and effective communicator, but even more importantly, she presented in a very enthusiastic and confident manner. She’s very focused, but still made time for all the questions and comments we had throughout the sessions. DesAnn stayed on track and covered all the details necessary to complete the training!
I felt very confident after spending three days with DesAnn that I had adequate training to begin my own business.
