Home Staging Course Boosts Sales for Professional Organizer

To broaden her service offerings, Beth DeLozier-Hayes, a Houston-based professional organizer and image consultant, signed up for home staging training through the Staging Diva Program. After completing the training course, DeLozier-Hayes, president of Tres Chic Designs, tripled her income by making home staging services available to her clients.

"Beth wrote to let me know she staged four homes last month and that every home she has staged since graduating from the Staging Diva Program has received an offer within one month of listing," says Debra Gould, founder of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program. "Beth also reports that adding home staging services has truly enhanced her organizing business and she gets many decorating requests from her clients while she´s organizing rooms," adds Gould.

"Home staging and professional organizing services complement each other well. Many homeowners need the help of organizers to clean up their homes before staging can really begin. For stagers who have an interest in the organizing side of things, this can be a real boost to their home staging businesses," Gould explains.

About the Staging Diva Program, DeLozier-Hayes writes, "It allowed me to enter my first home staging jobs with confidence and inspiration. Over the years Debra Gould has been in business, she has worked out all the kinks for us so that we don´t have to overcome the same challenges that she had to!"

Debra Gould

Debra Gould, aka The Staging Diva®, is President of Six Elements Inc., an internationally recognized home staging company. Inspired by many requests from aspiring home stagers wanting to start similar businesses, Gould created the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program.

Gould has trained 7,000+ Staging Diva students in over 21 countries to start their own businesses. All shared a natural talent for decorating and interest in real estate, but didn't know how to make a living in their own house staging business before learning her secrets.

Debra Gould's mission is to inspire and empower others to use their natural talents to earn a living. She followed her dreams and wants to teach others to be able to do the same.

Gould pursued an MBA in Marketing and began a corporate career before moving to advertising. In the 1980s, she launched one of the first integrated marketing firms, which she ran for 10 years. Wanting a more creative life, Debra gave it up to design home accessories. She created the Debra Gould Home Collection, landing a magazine cover story and book feature, followed by her first of several HGTV appearances.

Buying decorating and selling six of her own homes in four years lead to an interest in real estate staging which she turned into a new staging career with the launch of sixelements.com in 2002. Since that time she has staged homes for hundreds of clients in addition to providing home staging training.

Gould is the author of "Staging Diva Ultimate Design Guide: Home staging tips, tricks and floor plans", "Staging Diva Ultimate Color Guide: The easy way to pick colors for home staging projects", and "Staging Diva Ultimate Portfolio Guide: Winning clients with the perfect home staging portfolio".
