"I am a Professional Organizer in the U.S. and found myself with a staging client one day a few weeks ago. I looked online for other advice on staging. Your's was the first site to come up and was just what I was looking for so I didn't have to search any further. Though I've always felt that I have a very good eye for design I have never staged a home for money before. It was nice to have a place to go to validate the thoughts that I had about this particular home I was working on. The job is almost done and I'm excited to see how this "new & improved" home will do in our very depressed local real estate market."

Anita Sharb


"I thought that this was a fantastic course. Not because I wanted to know how to stage a house, but because I was looking to buy a house. This course helped me look beyond the horrid colours, outdated design, and the ridiculous staging of furniture. I got a great price on a house that just needs a bit of updating, and then if I want, I can flip it...but I just might keep it because it will be a very cute house once I am finished with it."

Anita Duff

"I really enjoyed this online course and feel it will really help me sell my home in the future. So many of the ideas presented were simply things I would never have thought of on my own. The whole course was fun and I always looked forward to each new lesson."

Charlene Cortese


"I found the course very helpful, clear and concise. It is written in an engaging, easily understood style that even a "newbie" to home staging like myself can read and use."

Michelle Mooney


"This course was direct, straightforward with a touch of humor. You learn what you need to know without a bunch of fluff. Thanks Brian. I learned a lot."

top


"I've always wondered what makes a home inviting. I know it when I see it but I couldn't break it down into words. You broke it down into very specific categories with a great deal of additional information. I would recommend this course to anyone selling their home (I recommended it today to a real estate agent!) and any homeowner who simply would like to make their home into the best that it can be. Thank you!"

Victoria Lee Arnold


"As a US citizen, I found Brian's course to be very informative and concise in relating to the reader the various nuances governing the sale of one's real estate for maximizing both a timely and profitable result."


"This course has been so helpful and easy to understand. I would highly recommend this information to the wide range of people that could benefit from it. From the person preparing to sell their home to the person searching for the tools to make their current home more attractive and functional, can gain a lot of good information."

Get your home ready to sell in 2009

Why is this course unique to other home staging courses?

The Property Coach™ 'Home Staging Handbook' is unique and unlike any other other home staging book or course.

Unlike other home staging courses, with the Home Staging Handbook you can interact with the information, see changing pictures, hear my thoughts on the topics, print off 'Action Plans' & 'Checklists' and click through to further websites for more information, resources & ideas.

Unlike printed books that begin to date the moment that they are delivered to the shop, this course is in a continuous state of development. When you buy it will be as up to date as it can be. In fact since it's launch in May 2007 it has already been updated twice with lots of new case studies, new pictures and new resources.

top

Unlike other 'weekend', 'evening' or 'residential' home staging courses:

  • You can learn at your own pace.
  • Sit in the comfort of your own home - not on conference seats.
  • You get full notes, not a slim course book with just edited bullet points that you then have to scribble additional notes on.
  • Read the course again and again as many times as you like.
  • You don't pay hundreds of £s or $s.
  • You don't have to wait for available course dates, you can take the course when ever you like.
  • There are no traveling costs.
  • There are no accommodation costs.
  • Unlike home staging courses where you only see the case studies on a screen, but can't take those pictures home, you can see all of the images, over 1000 in this course, again & again.
