 Excellent training by a true industry leader and genuine authorAug 04, 2007
By Casey Cole
"truth seeker"
I am extremely pleased with this book and other books by this author. The subject is covered about as thoroughly as it can be covered, pointing out many things I never would have thought about on my own. The many before and after pictures illustrate points being made plus there are descriptions of other tools that will help me promote my business.
Most notable and helpful are the great lists: questions to ask real estate agents, questions for homeowners, tools you need to have, the best furniture and accessories to have in inventory, a complete check list of things a stager should evaluate when doing consultations, and different easy ways to price services (my biggest dilemma) and business set-up.
She also talked about professional design training, and tools she makes available which should make the staging work itself easier. How often do you see a book-writer find the tools for you and offer them at sale prices? She couldn't have made it easier to get started and know what to do than if she took you by the hand. That would be nice too, but impractical, I know.
I especially like it that she is transparent about her own success over many years, and that I can go to her website and see testimonials of others who have taken the training. I will refer to this book often because of it's thoroughness and expertise; there is more in it than what you expect because it's a very large book, not like all the others.
That I can write her when I have a question and receive a personal response is comforting; that I can request her monthly newsletter is also a valuable bonus other authors don't offer at all.
There are some authors who talk in generalities because they have something more they want to sell you. So they hold back on the really specific details. Jennings doesn't do that. She lays it all out there for you and you just have to follow her lead to be successful.

A must for home stagersNov 23, 2007
By Giselle B
I'm switching careers and have decided to try the home staging business. After reading about the author and her experience, I ordered this book and I'm glad I did. It provides the exact information I was seeking. It's informative and written in an extremely easy style to follow. Although some of the information is obvious/basic - (decluttering) - it is important enough it probably should be emphasized. The author even provides a list of potential names for your new business. She also includes a question and answer section in which she provides good guidelines for potential situations. I purchased another book at the same time I ordered this one and there is no comparison. I would definitely recommend this book.

Great Resource!Jan 04, 2008
By Happy Designer
"Karen"
I purchased Home Staging for Profit to find out more about this area of design support. I am a decorator/redesigner and was very pleased to see the amount of detail and information. It contains everything you would need to know to provide these services and how to set up and manage the business. It is very clear and offers a number of lists, forms and other resources. I was so impressed that I have enrolled in the author's training, mainly to get the other books. The book is sometimes repetitive and does offer the other resources, but it is information that is well worth repeating. I would recommend this book highly!

A Brilliant Read and Learning SourceAug 07, 2007
By Jillian Luke
"Jilsta"
This book is remarkable. This is an extensive course in house staging. It covers every facet of the business and industry.As I am from Australia I was unsure of the relevance to my situation but can state that this is suited for any one thinking of getting into the staging industry anywhere in the world. The book misses nothing. In addition to teaching Home Staging it also teaches business techniques, marketing, interior decorating, buyer psychology, seller psychology. With plenty of photo examples, business forms and question and answer examples this was the best read on this subject I have come across. The author addresses every possible situation and the training is written as if she was in the room giving you one to one training. As there are no means of doing any kind of courses covering this industry in Australia, I was lucky to find this book and training and believe I have saved myself a lot of money in doing so. This is far more thorough than any of the interior design courses I have done. This book is straight to the point with many hints and ideas from the author. It is well written and is easily understood by any reader.
A brilliant training source

A MUST have Reference for Home StagersFeb 28, 2008
By designerchic
"Genevieve"
As an interior designer, I was looking to expand my business into the home staging arena, but wasn't really interested in spending thousands of dollars on one of those 3-day courses. After reading many reviews, I decided to purchase this book and I am so glad that I did! I think the author provides an in-depth guide about home staging as well as steering you in the right direction to operate your own home staging business. I found her book to be very informative and thought she provided great tips and examples. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is interested in running their own home staging business. Also, I would recommend her other book, Rearrange It! - How to Start and Grow a Profitable Home-Based Redesign Business - In my opinion, I think you would need both these skills to successfuly run either business.
