Stage key rooms when needed

Learn how to elevate bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, and entryways using light, strategic staging — not décor overload.

Use Bigger • Brighter • Newer to transform spaces with minimal budget and maximum impact.

Is this a staging course?

This is not a staging décor course. This course is designed to train you on strategic listing preparation. In the 201: Strategic Home Preparation course, the focus is on strategy, buyer perception, and presentation standards. If you also choose to take the 202: Applied Home Preparation course, you will learn to apply the strategies of the first course in a hands-on studio setting.

Do I need staging experience?

No. Both courses (201 Strategy and 202 Applied) are designed for agents at all experience levels.

Is lunch included?

Yes — lunch, coffee and refreshments are provided in both courses.

Is the textbook required?

No, but the textbook is highly recommended as a learning support tool for both courses and a valuable post-course reference tool.

Can I attend the 202: Applied course if I miss the 201: Strategy course?

No. The 201: Strategic Home Preparation course is required to participate in the 202: Applied Home Preparation course.

Do you offer group pricing?

Can we certify our entire team?
