Design Concepts For Home
Merchandisers - Pt. 1:
In this module,
from a merchandising & staging
perspective, we will cover 7 topics that include the
design concepts of: Balance & Symmetry, Space,
Perspective, Scale, Arrangement & Layout, the Rule
of Three, and "KISS"... We'll also go over the
rules for mixing furniture, and we will include
information about walls, floors, chandeliers,
seating, and size and shape of furnishings. We
will take you step by step through each room to look
at the specifics, including awkward spaces, design
dilemma's, design details, surfaces and countertops,
accents, style and affect, and more.
Don't think the laundry room, the basement and the
garage need staging? Guess again - it's a huge
mistake to leave these out of the total picture and
we'll show you how to deal with them (along with why
in Lesson
6). No design concepts
training would be complete without some mention and
education in materials. As a merchandiser, you
may very well find yourself needing to consult with
your clients about materials for upgrades. You
should have at least some basic knowledge about
materials such as wood, bamboo, acrylic, nylon,
wallpaper, granite, carpeting & rugs, Etc.,
Etc. We'll get you started in this first
Design Module, and then give you more information in
our
Gold Upgrade Advanced course and in future
FREE Training Updates. And last but not least, a little
knowledge about different types of home
architectural styles can go a long way toward
knowing how to properly merchandise a home. As
time passes, we will add more to our course in
this area, but for right now we'll be focusing on
two styles just to get you started - Contemporary
Western and New Asian.
SPECIAL NOTE:
Three, Fabulous,
Design eTextBooks are
currently included with
this lesson (in addition to your lesson manual).
In the future, there may be additional recommended
(but not required) eTextBooks that are not included
with the course in order to keep costs down as much

training site with a list of any additional future recommended eTextBooks,
as they become available.

Estate Merchandising & Home Staging projects, Every home has different needs.
On the interior, some
homes need live plants, while others are best suited for
artificial. Some homes need exterior
landscaping, hedges trimmed, lawns mowed, and general clean up.
Many homes are in dire need of color in order to
enhance curb appeal.
Colorful flowers and
other types of healthy appearing foliage can bring about
feelings of happiness, excitement and well being.
These elements make the home more attractive and
they go a long way toward
increasing value and creating a desire to buy the home.

Video & Still Photography
For Real Estate Merchandising:
Video and Still Pictures are both very powerful
home selling tools. Unfortunately, many clients, and even
Realtors do not know how, or have and use the proper
professional grade equipment to produce the desired
and needed results. But over 90% of all home
buyers begin their search for a new home online, so
professionally produced photographs and video is an
absolute essential to successfully
selling a home in the least amount of time and for the most
amount of money - especially in today's market! It does little good to stage a home
and to make it beautiful and attractive if no one ever goes out
to view it in person. After a home is staged, it needs
a strong, great looking online presence in order to attract lookers.
As a Value-Added Feature, once the Merchandising & Staging
is completed, you can provide this marketing / merchandising tool in order to
help assure the effectiveness of the staging work.
This course teaches you some of the basic but most
important techniques in Real Estate Photography & Videography. We give you vital information that you need in order to

Apprentice Program - Real World Hands-On Experience:
For your first 2
or 3 projects, if you would like to work with
our sister company, Million Dollar Stagers, and as we have
work available, you may be able to work with us under our
Stager Apprentice Program as a way to add to your training
and build experience.
In order to qualify, you must be in good standing with
NHSPC, current on any payments and fees associated with
course payment plans, and doing well in your training sessions
(or have already obtained your NHSPC Certification). This work will be offered in Homes that are
either already on the market, or being prepared for sale.
Apprentice work is non-paid, and is considered to be training in addition to
and over and above your designated course hours.
* (NOTE:
This is a program under development and these sessions may
not be available everywhere. They are also subject
to home/project availability and scheduling - as well as
satisfactory student performance and therefore
cannot be guaranteed.)

Why We Are Different Then All
The Others:
Our
courses are specifically designed to teach you how
to Properly "Merchandise", Position and
Stage
Real Estate properties.
Within our 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 Home Staging Courses
out there provide a strong focus in business
training, it is
our believe that this is knowledge and
training that can easily be obtained at most any College or
University. Home Staging, and especially 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 Merchandising &
Stager 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 Real Estate
Merchandising & Home Stager 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 here 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. Our belief and philosophy is that Education is always a
good and positive step forward in life!
