The Academy of Home Staging

Professional home stagers earn between $75 and $150 per hour using their skills to help homeowners make tens of thousands dollars more on the sale of their homes. Staged homes typically receive offers up to 17 percent higher and sell two to three times faster than homes that have not been staged. With high demand in the real estate industry for this invaluable service, you could be among those getting paid to help home sellers secure as much profit for their homes as possible.

Because of its hands-on training and in-depth study, The Academy of Home Staging provides the tools and training necessary to thrive in this challenging field. Completion of the course earns you the distinction of being named a Certified Home Stager (AHSC), and positions you to immediately launch your business, secure clients, and steadily build a rewarding practice.

While many training programs offer classroom instruction and standard design tips, The Academy of Home Staging provides the most comprehensive design and business development training available. After graduating, you will have the self-confidence and proven skills to begin staging immediately and further develop your skills to enter other lucrative markets like consulting for remodeling projects, model home design and interior redesign.
