You can build a successful Home Staging or Real Estate Enhancement business when Staging Diva shows you how

If you're serious about starting and growing your own home staging, house fluffing, real estate enhancement business, the Staging Diva® Home Staging Business Training Program will put you years ahead by saving you tons of trial and error.

Staging Diva is one of the most recognized and respected names in the field of home staging. As a student in this program, you'll learn what you need to know directly from internationally recognized home staging expert, Debra Gould.

Home Staging expert Debra Gould has been featured in CNN Money, The Wall Street Journal, HGTV, Woman's Day Magazine, CBS Radio, CBC Radio, GlobalTV, CityTV, Pulse24, CBC News, The National Post, Globe & Mail, Entrepreneur Magazine, This Old House, MoneySense, House and Home, Style at Home, Home & Decor, and more. She is also a regular contributor to American Chronicle on the subjet of home staging.

In the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program, you'll get a realistic view of what this business is like from someone who personally stages houses and has had hundreds of her own staging clients since becoming a stager in 2002.

In the courses, you'll hear Debra share stories and lessons from real client projects, not abstract theories that may or may not work in the real world.

Debra Gould created the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program in late 2004 based on what she'd learned growing her own successful home staging business, Six Elements Inc., from the ground up.

Today there are over 900 Graduates of the program all over the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. You are welcome to contact them to find out what they think about the training they received.

"The Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program is one of the best programs I've ever taken in my life. It's not just about Staging - it's about being in BUSINESS and making MONEY and keeping yourself SANE at the same time!" Victoria Willits (MD)

Within 2 years of starting her own home staging business, Staging Diva Debra Gould was earning up to $10,000 a month staging homes. She teaches her students exactly how she did that, so they can copy her success.

In fact, you'll be surprised at what she earns in two hours— more than some people earn in a week! And her clients are thrilled because they know they'll make a huge profit on her services!

Give us 10 hours and we'll give you the keys to a new home-based business

There's no need to travel to take the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program because you study from home. And you can get started within minutes if you like (more on that further down this page)!

The program is made up of 5 courses. Each one is about two hours of audio recordings plus accompanying study notes.

There are homework assignments, but you don't have to submit them to us for grading. This program is designed for grown-ups who are serious about growing their own staging businesses. We don't believe in giving you make-work projects or asking you to jump through unncessary hoops to get a piece of paper at the end.

The assumption is that if you order the courses, you intend to actually listen to them and do the work. If you don't, you won't be getting the signficant business and competitive advantages that come with the knowledge available in the program.

Homework assignments are all steps that you should take in starting your business. They are assigned tasks to encourage you to get them done and not procrastinate. Again, the goal of this program is to make sure you have what you need to really make money as a home stager while doing the creative staging work that you love.

"Thanks Debra for such an amazing training program that gave me exactly the right tools and knowledge to enter this business with confidence. My first staging project was worth $8,000. I staged a vacant home that had been on the market for two years."
Elizabeth Englehart (OH)

Staging Diva courses are not about how to decorate. They're about how to start up and run a home staging business, how to make money, how to market your business, how to charge for your services, and much more.

You don't need an interior design background

Most students don't have a design background (neither does Debra!), but they do share a talent for how to arrange furniture in a room.

Debra takes you through what she looks for during a home staging consultation and the process she uses to stage a home, but she won't waste class time explaining how a color wheel works. You don't need to know the difference between a secondary and tertiary color to know how to pick a nice neutral for someone's living room. Class time will also not be spent showing you room photos and asking you where you'd put the couch.

The biggest challenge to making money as a home stager is understanding the business side, so that's the focus of the Staging Diva Training Program! Make no mistake, this is a highly profitable business IF you know what you're doing, and Staging Diva Training makes that possible for you.

Home staging expert Debra Gould has an MBA in Marketing, a BA in Communications and has been an entrepreneur since 1989.

She knows what she's talking about and will deliver that knowledge to you in a candid, down-to-earth style that cuts right to the chase. There's no fluff here!

"I have never been so driven, passionate and totally motivated as I have been since completing the Staging Diva Program. The fact that the program is start-up business and marketing related to home staging makes it so perfect. With all of Debra's examples of her personal wrong directions and successes, I feel I'm so much farther ahead than if I'd taken one of those 'other' courses. I'm still amazed at how much information was in this program, and I have the recordings to listen to again and again! Run, don't walk to your computer to enroll now! You will regret that you did not enroll sooner." Dane Caldwell (ON)

Course Cost (US $) The full Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program costs $995 when you order all five courses by download. This is your least expensive way to do the program and represents a savings of $270 compared to ordering individual downloadable courses for $249 each. 90% of students who sign up for one course end up taking all five. If you order a single course now and decide later that you want the other four, you will be paying the single course price for each one. So it's better to save $270 now and get the five-course download package. You still qualify for the money-back guarantee (see below)! Individual Course Recordings and Notes US $249 per course (available as download only) Save $270 with 5-course package US $995 for 5-course (download) package, includes extra bonus checklist Payment Plan (download courses) You need all five courses to qualify as a Graduate of the Staging Diva Training Program. You can take as long as you like to complete the five courses by ordering one or two download recordings at a time for $249 each, as your budget allows. Many students land their first staging project by doing the homework assigned at the end of Course 1 to prepare for Course 2. That single project can pay for ALL your training!

Home Staging is all about creating an environment for the target market of a house to immediately fall in love and say "This is it!"

Home Study Kit Recordings and Notes US $1295 (plus shipping/handling), includes these extra bonues: Checklist, Training Program Workbook, Bonus Q & A CD (total value of bonuses US $210) Or 3 easy payment option Instead of paying $1295 all at once for the Home Study Kit, you can use our 3 Easy Payment Option and spread your payments across three months of credit card statements. The first payment of US $495 (plus shipping/handling) will be billed immediately. After 30 days you'll be billed $495; and the final $495 is billed another 30 days from then. You'll still get all the same product bonuses, valued at US $210, but you'll be paying a total of US $1485 with this option instead of a single payment of US $1295. Your product will still be shipped within 7 days of when you order. Please allow up to 2 weeks to receive your Training Program within the United States. For Canadian orders, it can take up to 3 weeks, and for overseas students the wait may be 4 weeks, due to the longer shipping time and the need to cross borders.

"I've enjoyed and benefited so much from the Staging Diva course recordings. I already took a 'hands-on' course this past spring. It cost significantly more money and I learned much less. I am so glad to have the Staging Diva recordings, as I've listened to each class several times, always hearing something new. Thanks Debra for offering such a great home staging training program!" Amy Eastlack (NE)

"I purchased all five Staging Diva course recordings and I am SO pleased that I did!! I had already taken another (more expensive) program, but important pieces were missing. Thank you for filling in those missing pieces with your incredibly insightful and informative courses. After finishing the Staging Diva Program, I feel thoroughly prepared to start on this new adventure of opening my own home staging business." Nancy Maurer (NJ)

"I saw the first draft of my business cards today and I haven't felt this proud since I graduated from nursing school! This is completely different though, because it's all my own! Every day I hit the floor with my feet running and I'm disappointed when the day is over because I still have so much that I want to do! Debra, I honestly don't know of anyone who has ever inspired and empowered me as much as you have. Thank you for EVERYTHING!" Traci Sampsell (PA)

"My first staging project was worth over $8,000. Then, because of a lead from Debra Gould, I staged a luxury condo worth $1,850,000! The owners are so pleased with the job I did they want me to help design their next home. What a great investment the Staging Diva Training has been! Thank you!" Bill McIntosh (BC)
