Vacant Home Staging Course Reduces Stress & Provides a Clear Picture

“I had the opportunity to look a vacant property a few months ago and I have to tell you…I was so overwhelmed and felt way in over my head!

I took the Vacant Property Specialist course & the property I looked at yesterday, I had a clear view and process of what I needed to do during & after which helped tremendously! I used the property preview form and from that I created a ppt. presentation so I had a visual and everything in one place.

Thank you!”

Vacant Property Specialist – Our first testimonial

Last week we launched the Vacant Property Specialist, Beyond the Basics designation course offered by Annie Pinsker Brown. We’ve already had several students sign up for this self paced, online course and the feedback is beginning to come in.

“I just finished the class offered By Annie Pinsker Brown and I will be faxing the test to you. I am happy to say that I found the course to be very informative and explained in a way that is easily understood. Each step was detailed and Annie spoke clearly and slow enough that I was able to take notes without having to rush writing things down or pause the session.

The photo examples were very helpful. Especially because I am (and I suppose most people in the staging industry are) visually oriented so having them was a good tool. I almost would have liked to see more. I am glad I took the class. It was a good investment.”

Hedda Jason, Juxtaposiotion LA

“The Vacant Property Specialist course is excellent and very detailed. It’s a great course for a new stager, but is also an excellent choice for a RESA-PRO continuing education course. It is always informative to learn alternative ways to approach the process, with different style proposals and contracts, along with additional tips and ideas. It’s obvious that Annie put much hard work and effort to every detail of this course as it’s very well done!”

This is the best advanced staging course available! I learned so much about how to step outside the neutral zone when staging and how to appeal to the target demographic and psychographic by using color and creative techniques in appropriate ways and tell a story with my design. How powerful is that!!!!! Not to even mention how much more fun and creative staging just has become for me!!!! Matthew is not just fun on TV, he is also an excellent trainer! I just used his newly learned techniques and I received a phone call from the Real Estate Agent this morning almost in tears of excitement. She is now so excited to show this house and can’t wait for the Realtors open house. I can only “highestly” recommend this course to any stager who wants to bring their business to the next level.”

“This course surpassed all my expectations. I really believe the concept of lifestyle merchandising is where our industry is going. If we’re not incorporating it into our staging, we will be left behind. Matthew’s energy is contagious and I am so thankful for all of time and attention he took with us. I feel like I’m on a whole new playing field now and the sky is the limit!” ~Linda Borghi, Dazzle Home Staging

“I am so grateful to have taken Matthew’s course in San Francisco! Matthew’s dynamic personality and winning way of presenting new concepts and techniques were fabulous to say the least. There is no question in my mind that by utilizing all of his suggestions, my business will jump into the next level. The unique thing about these new techniques, is that they can be applied to any market with any level of price point on homes. Lifestyle Merchandising is what needs to happen in this business and we as Stagers need to take more responsibility for raising the bar on the level of service we provide to our clients – both the agents and sellers. I would highly recommend this course to anyone that has been in the business a while but needs that boost to kick things up a notch! Matthew’s energy and dedication to his belief made this course! It’s not ‘business as usual’ – things are changing and if you don’t grab this opportunity to shine, you’ll be left behind.”Barbara Katnich, Fresh Approach

“If you want to move from crayons to perfume in the home staging industry, this course is a must. Matt is more than just a funny, entertaining guy, he is intelligent, creative and walks the talk with what he teaches. So if you want to understand what it means to do an AFA vs an OFA then sign up for the course.”

“Matthew Finlason’s class was above and beyond what I expected. This is taking staging and redesign to a new level of expertise. By far the best in the industry and I have tried 4 others in the past 6 years. I highly recommend this to anyone who wants to be “the expert” in their area. You will not be disappointed. Thank you for this tremendous opportunity.” ~Melanie Warren, CRTS, ASPM, APSD, Design Specialist

“The recently held advanced staging course taught by HGTV’s Matthew Finlason and co-developed by Melissa Marro took staging to new heights. Taught by the industry’s best to stage for a broad audience was enhanced by their approach to stage as broad as you can but target your buyer and work backwards from there. I am rejuvenated and can apply all the skills I learned to my geographics and demographics. I would take the class again and again but more importantly would recommend it to anyone interested in exceeding their clients’ expectations, taking their service to new heights and slam dunking the competition.” ~Carole Morgan, StageRight Home Staging
