Value In Real Estate:  The work of a true Real Estate Merchandiser can affect "perceived value" as well as the actual, physical value of a home.  Real Estate Merchandising can introduce either temporary changes to a property, or more permanent turnkey improvements that will maximize the sellers return on investment (MROI) much more than the traditional home staging of the past.  In this module, we will examine home value, breaking our analogy down room by room and area by area.

Do you know what gives a home its value?  Do you know exactly what you need to do in order to step by step increase the value of each area of a home - both the physical and the perceived value?  In this module, you will learn about what gives a home it's value, and why.  We will dissect each area of a home and look at how much each room or area contributes to the overall home value  We'll look at how appraisers value homes, and we'll explore what you, as a Real Estate Merchandiser / Home Stager can do to in order to maximize the value of your clients property.  This can literally make your services worth their weight in gold to your clients!

Cultural Influence on Merchandising and Staging: 
Everything that we do as Real Estate Merchandisers and Home Stagers comes down to strategy.  In order to properly strategize, you need to have a good understanding of the target market that you are attempting to reach.  Different regions, different states, different cities, different neighborhoods - they all are made up of different kinds of people, who have different cultural backgrounds.  The better you understand the cultural makeup of the market area where your clients home is located, and the better you understand that particular culture or cultural mix, the better you will be positioned to produce effective results in your staging efforts.  Although it is impossible for this course to cover every aspect of every culture that you are likely to encounter during your work as a Real Estate Merchandiser / Home Stager, we will give you information in this area that will be extremely helpful when staging homes and positioning them to sell in your local markets.

Future Home Lifestyle Potential:  In today's real estate market, more and more people are looking for a long term purchase; a home that they can settle down into and live in without worrying about the need to sell and move somewhere else for many years to come.  For this reason, it is important to demonstrate to prospective buyers that the home they are looking at has potential for future expansion, future upgrades, and for their future lifestyle dreams to come true and become reality.  As the 2,000 pound gorilla merchandiser in the room, sort of speak, it is our job to find creative and innovative ways to subtly but positively show off the possibilities.  But how do you show what could be, when it isn't yet?  How do you get the idea across to a person that there are potential ways to upgrade and use a home without adding or building additional infrastructure first?  We'll show you some ways to accomplish this.  We'll show you what others are doing to stimulate and excite the imaginations of potential buyers so they literally can't wait to move in!

Color Pt. 2 - Advanced Applications & Theory:  In our first course, we learned a wealth of information about color.  We covered all the basics; and then we went far beyond, to learn ways that we can affectively use color in the home.  And we also studied color and symbolism.  This is pretty important material when you thank about the fact that we are telling stories in our staging and merchandising work, and a big part of telling stories is implemented through symbolic suggestion.  But now, in your second course, we are going to move into some advanced areas.  We'll take a look at research and delve into ways that we can use color as a very powerful selling tool.  In merchandising, everything that we do comes down to strategizing, and you can't successfully strategize without an extensive understanding of the tools that you have to work with.  Color is one of our most important and fundamental tools!  We are also going to make the connection between color and how different cultures relate to it.  Because Real Estate Merchandising involves not only targeting, but "correctly" targeting your potential buyer, you need to know how culture impacts your strategies through your usage of color.  This is absolutely critical!  This part of our Real Estate Merchandiser Training and Certification Program also explores the use of color in commercial applications, such as office spaces and retail establishments.  This training and knowledge can position you to offer more services and to tap into additional revenue streams.

Comfort, Safety and Security:  You've undoubtedly heard the expression, "a man's home is his castle", right?  Well, to be both politically and literally correct, this obviously applies to both men and women, but the point here is that this is a statement that is definitely founded in truth and wisdom.  Indeed, "home" may just possibly be that one single place in the entire world where we expect to be able to retreat to and be able to relax, to be comfortable, to be safe, to be able to de-stress from the pressures of work, to escape from the craziness of everything that is beyond our control in the outside world, and a place where we can just refresh and rejuvenate our soles and recharge our batteries!  Yes, indeed, that's a lot, but it really is true.  Home is a place to spend time with our families, with friends, and it's a place to enjoy time out and even to play!  But it is impossible to have and to enjoy any of this without the feeling, and the reality of being safe and secure.  As Real Estate Merchandisers and Stagers, we can help home sellers to first, insure the safety and security features of their home, and then it is our job to demonstrate to potential buyers that the safety, security and comfort that they are seeking actually exists.  It's not our intent to become or to provide the services of a security specialist, but there are many things that we can do to address the concerns, needs and the feelings of potential buyers when it comes to security, safety and comfort issues.  Our attention and strategies in these areas can go a long ways toward differentiating and setting any home apart from all the others.  In this module, you will learn about the physiological and physical needs for security, and we will look at different ways that you can incorporate security features into your designs and strategies so as to put potential buyers at ease - therefore removing uncertainty and making the buying decision much easier and more comfortable.

Scent, Touch, and Taste: 
In the "old school" home staging of the past, stagers have almost entirely focused on only one of the 5 main human senses; I.E., "sight".  However, in Merchandising, the retail world discovered long ago that people actually perceive value through all 5 senses, not just one or two.  When we appeal to as many of these senses as possible, we vastly improve the shopping and the buying experience; including the likelihood of making a sale!   Since the fundamental principles of merchandising work no matter what product or service that you apply them to, there is no reason to believe that these same concepts should not be used in Home Staging / Real Estate Merchandising too!  While they may be less obvious In Real Estate Merchandising and Staging, scent, sound, touch and even taste are powerful motivators.  It is important to realize and acknowledge that merchandising is not, and should not be entirely limited to "visual merchandising alone".  Effective Real Estate Merchandising embraces all of the Human senses and uses available tools to creatively stimulate them.  In other parts of our two courses on Real Estate Merchandising and Staging, we focus a lot on the visual and physiological aspects of our services, but in this module you will learn about the three senses of scent, touch and taste, and how we can leverage and use them to create far more powerful and effective results for our clients.

Staging & Merchandising with Multimedia: 
Multimedia offers us an opportunity to engage potential buyers; visually, emotionally, and through our sense of hearing.  In the past, traditional home stagers have occasionally used music in their staging projects, but its use has not been widespread, nor has adequate thought been given as to the proper and appropriate kinds of music needed for the task.  Music has been very much underused, especially given it's usefulness and powerful potential.  And if music has been underused, other forms of audio usage has been virtually void form the scene entirely, as has been the use of video.  In retail, this has completely changed, and in Home Staging & and Real Estate Merchandising the time has come when this situation needs to change as well.  Moving into the realities of the 21st Century marketplace of today, we need every advantage and tool that we can get our hands on in order to distinguish one property from another and to position it so it will sell for the most amount of money and in the shortest amount of time.  We can meet some of today's difficult market challenges by making use of music, and also other forms of audio presentations, as well as video!   This module will provide you with many new, outside the box, ideals and techniques that you can use to gain a strategic advantage over the other competing homes in the neighborhood.

Design Concepts For Home Merchandisers - Pt. 2
The intent of our Real Estate Merchandiser Training Program isn't to teach Interior Design, however, a little bit of knowledge in these areas will go along ways toward helping you to create exceptional property presentations.  Here we will introduce you to some of the most popular styles of Fabrics, we'll give you a little background information about them, and we'll show you how to work with these materials and use them in your projects.  This training is important because it positions you with a foundation of knowledge that you can use to match up the correct fabrics with the lifestyles and cultural environments within the market you are working in.  Additionally, we will take a look at textures, and we'll see how they can be used to impact the impressions that we can make upon potential buyers.  Cushion Rules, the techniques for the use of Throw Pillows, Upholstery, and Bedding will also be covered in this module.

Window Treatments:  A lot of the time we see homes that are staged, but the windows have been left alone, forgotten and completely ignored.  But wide open, bare windows are usually not a very good idea.  We will show you how to work with window treatments and why they are so very, very important in staging and merchandising a home.  For starters, there is often times a security issue that needs to be addressed and window treatments can resolve some of these concerns.   Also, window coverings can add a feeling and impression of warmth, comfort, beauty, completeness and welcoming to a home.  You will lean how to pick out the right window treatments for the job, how to hang curtains properly, and more.

Open House Preparation Services:  After the initial staging is completed, things have a tendency to change over time.  It is always a very good idea for the stager/merchandiser to remain in the picture and to continue providing services during the ongoing time while the home is on the market.  Just as a web site needs to be given a facelift and updated from time to time, to maintain a fresh and current look, a staged home also has a need to be refreshed and its staging updated so it doesn't became stale and so it maintains a sense of excitement.  You wouldn't wan to wear the same clothing every single day, so why would you want to stage a home and never change or do anything to upgrade or clean up as time passes?  Open house preparation services give stagers/merchandisers an opportunity to make sure that everything is just right before each and every open house.  They are also of extreme value to home sellers and realtors!  If treats, and or refreshments are to be given out to guests, they can be refreshed and replenished as necessary. The stager/merchandiser can make sure the lighting is turned on and adjusted the way it needs to be for maximum impact.  Any cleaning that is needed can be taken care of so the home always shows fresh and free of dirt and unsightly items  that could give off negative impressions.  Since, as merchandisers, we want to engage a variety of human senses, there is a need to make sure that any music that is being used is turned on, the volume is set correctly, and that everything associated with the audio is all set to go.  Aromas may be used too, which also needs to be setup before the open house begins.  Any video presentations that are being utilized need o be setup and operating properly.  There a number of pre-open house services that stagers/merchandisers can provide which can make open houses not only go more smoothly and stress free, but that can also make them more successful.  This module teaches you how to provide these pre-open house services and will give you some unique, new ideas that should be very helpful.

Vacation Rentals, Apartments & Condominium Rentals:  As Real Estate Merchandisers, we are in the perfect position to work with owners of rental properties.  Using a lifestyle approach, you will be decorating and setting up homes for both short term as well as long term occupation.  This means decorating and providing furnishings and accessories that would not normally or necessarily be a part of a typical home staging project.  Providing everything from tables and chairs and beds and couches, to art work, dishes, silverware, towels, laundry soap, and even DVD's & personal computers, this is a complete turnkey service that works to create the perfect living environment for new tenants.  In this service, we are still 'selling' a property, in the sense that it is a revenue generating resource for its owners, but the work is very different then staging, and still different then traditional interior design as well.  We will show you how to provide this valuable service to your clients, while at the same time tapping into an additional income source for yourself.

Office Staging  / Commercial & Retail Merchandising:  It's not just homes that need staging!  Many Home Stagers overlook additional revenue sources that could be providing valuable services and making them money at the same time.   For example, office space is sold, leased and purchased all the time.  With today's down real estate market, there is more commercial inventory setting unsold then ever before.  just as is the situation with residential listings, the amount of competition and excess inventory means a need to do everything possible in order to make commercial properties stand out apart from all the rest.  Staging can help to sell and lease office space.  There is another often completely overlooked aspect of staging that can be of value too.  Although, this spin off from the primary service of home staging definitely necessitates a knowledge and training in merchandising - and that is staging and merchandising for retail stores.  This module will show you how you can provide both office, and commercial / retail staging and merchandising services.   We'll explore topics such as; work space layout for efficiency and productivity,  retail display, commercial merchandising strategies & physiology, and more.

Wedding Staging & Design:  This is a unique, new service that not only is there a demand for, but, to the best of our knowledge, no other stagers and designers currently offer it!  Wedding planners have a LOT of work to do and they need help with design and in creating that magical look, feel, and overall sensory experience that can transform a wedding into literally everything that newly weds have ever dreamed of or fantasized.  To the best of our knowledge, our sister company, Million Dollar Stagers is the original creator of this new service, and we are the only company currently offering it.  But we can't cover every market, so we are willing to share in our  knowledge and techniques with our students.  This is your golden opportunity to learn how to properly provide this service, which, by the way, is NOT the same as wedding planning.  After you take and pass this course, we will give you the opportunity to work with us in your local market to provide this service using our unique and patent pending PsyOp Staging System.  The information that you will learn here cannot be found anywhere else, and we will only be sharing it with our NHSPC students!

Shopping & Buying Services:  Almost all stagers will find themselves providing at least some basic shopping services in their ordinarily day to day staging activities.  But there is no reason why stagers can't also offer extended services that expand beyond just the basics, and beyond staging.  There are many additional opportunities out there; for example, to provide personalized shopping services for special occasions, such as holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, Etc.  Business executives, and people who have demanding and time consuming careers are among the numerous potential customers who need and can use your services.  There are even large retail store chains that make use of "buyers", on the wholesale level, to find and acquire products for their stores.  There are a variety of opportunities in these areas that many stagers have previously overlooked and not considered, but which have tremendous potential to generate additional income streams.  This is related work that you can do, while continuing to engage in activities that you enjoy, at the same time you are providing your staging and Real Estate Merchandising services.  This part of your course will introduce you to the worlds of both personal and commercial shopping and buying services, and, most importantly, it will show you how to get started and how to do this kind of work.

Presentations: 
Presentations can take on a lot of different forms and fulfill many different purposes.  If you are an independent stager, or even if you are working for a staging company that has hired you to work for them, it will be a great benefit if you know exactly how to create eye popping, attention grabbing, unique and interesting presentations.  In this business, you will find that there is a consistent need for presentations that are targeted toward realtors, home sellers, builders, investors, and even the general public.  You will use presentations in a number of different ways, including to educate people about exactly what it is that you do, the services that you provide, and to demonstrate exactly how you can help potential clients.  You will also most likely find a need for presentations at brokers staff meetings, consumer trade shows, or on a one-on-one basis with individuals.  You may even find yourself creating presentations to showcase properties, both onsite and offsite.  In module 18, you will learn how to use various tools that will help you to produce all of your reports, proposals and presentations.  But in this module we will show you the effective ways to write, organize, assemble and create them, so your presentations will be successful, effective and bring the results that you need.

Why We Are Different Then All The Others:
Our courses are specifically designed to teach you how to Properly Stage, Position and "Merchandise" Real Estate properties.  Within our staging courses and certification curriculums, we do not deal with (or we deal very little with) the business setup and operation side of things. Although all or most of the other staging courses out there provide a strong focus in this area, it is our believe that this is knowledge and training that can easily be obtained at most any College or University.  Home Staging and Real Estate Merchandising, on the other hand, is not currently available within the curriculums of these institutions.  Although we may possibly, at a later date, add a separate home business course to our offerings, we believe that your stager and merchandising training needs to be tightly focused on the actual services and work that you will be providing to your clients.  In the NHSPC Real Estate Merchandiser and Home Staging Pro Training and Certification Program, your course fees are applied directly toward this goal.

The primary purpose of our Staging Courses, and of this NHSPC Training & Certification Program is to give our students Substantial Knowledge and Tools that will enable them to successfully do the actual work and provide the services of a Real Estate Merchandiser and Home Staging Professional.  This is our specialty!      

With additional business training, or if you already have previous business experience, the knowledge that you will gain from our courses can easily be added and applied to operating your own Home Staging & Real Estate Merchandising company.  Or, you can take what you learn from NHSPC, without any additional business training or experience, and use it to work with an employer immediately.  You can make use of your training with us to move forward in your new career in any way that you would like.  The choice is completely yours.

Also, If you are interested, and if you live within the state of Hawaii, or within one of our mainland service areas, we may be able to offer you an opportunity to work with one of our sister companies; Million Dollar Stagers, or Paradise Home Staging.  Either way, your training with NHSPC is always an investment in yourself.  It is a tool that can distinguish you from being a hobbyist, and set you apart as a professional & an expert in your field.  Ultimately, how you choose to use your knowledge and skills is what will determine how well you will do in the future.  Education is always a good and positive step forward in life!

 






Certification Exam's:  After you have completed your Gold Upgrade course, in order to receive your official NHSPC Certification Upgrade Certificate, you will need to take our second Certification Exam.

This is a two-part exam
that covers the additional material that you will learn, as well as an "in the field" Home Evaluation, Planning and Virtual Staging Exercise.  The second part of this second exam is taken and scored live online, but section 1 is personally & manually graded by your instructor and must be taken and passed before you can take part-two.  Grading on all exams is on a scale of 1 to 10 points per question, with a score of 80% required for each section in order to pass.  There is no additional charge for your exam's - this is included in your course fees.
 


Certification Certificates: 
You will receive a 2nd wall sized certificate to let everyone know that you are Gold Certified, and that you have successfully completed the NHSPC Advanced Real Estate Merchandiser / Home Staging Pro™ Upgrade Training.  NOTE: By Default, we now deliver our certificates to all students in electronic form, INSTANTLY, upon completion of your Gold Upgrade exam, which is graded in real time as you take it online. However, Printed and Framed Certificates are also available upon request and for an additional fee of $35.00/certificate, payable in advance of issuance.  For more information, see the "Certification Exam" section above.
