I had done a lot of research and attended information sessions for other home stager training programs prior to learning about the SLS Academy. My search stopped there. Shauna Lynn's approach blew the rest out of the water with her real-life perspective. Never did she say that starting a home staging business would be easy - and she is absolutely right. But the abundance of resources and tools she provided (not to mention the in-person job shadowing opportunity) were exactly what I needed to launch my business systematically, confidently, and successfully. I am now 8 months into my business and the post-course support she provides is also a huge asset. I would highly recommend the SLS Academy's RESP Certification Training!

I really enjoyed taking this course. It is full of detailed information regarding all aspects of home staging from the basic "what is home staging?" to wall art hanging heights and what to look for in a home. I appreciate all the time and effort that went into the content of this course as well as all the downloads and personalized templates. I highly recommend it for anyone that is interested in home staging. I feel that I learned way more information than I originally thought would be included in the course and I completed it feeling confident in my knowledge and what was presented. The value for what you get it incredible.

From the necessary technical skills to navigating conversations and structuring your business, this course touches every aspect of what it means to be a quality, professional home stager. This course goes beyond 'surface level' information, with thorough explanations and reasoning to help you support your recommendations with a solid foundation of knowledge to clients. I recommend this course to new stagers, and experienced stagers alike to take your business and professionalism to the next level. Set yourself apart and take the RESP Certification Training - you cannot afford not to.

Very thorough over view of staging. I found the modules very helpful and has given me the confidence needed to start my business. The one main comment I would point out is I'm not sure if The painting supplies are needed. However I did appreciate the color theory aspect of the idea. I am currently doing the business of staging and I am finding the knowledge extremely helpful as well. the one on one coaching is a great addition I'm excited to try. Ifeel like that is a wonderful advantage to this certification.

You know like a really, really great book you don’t want to end? I seriously feel this way about this training. Really training doesn’t describe it, I’ve been a trainer my entire career. It’s like lifestyle living. So educational, so fun, you even can see a photobombing cat every now and then! Seriously the best changing, heartfelt delight to listen to. I hope you enjoy as much as I do!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about SLS Academy. I have had the opportunity to learn from Shauna Lynn Simon a few times now. She is, without a doubt one of our top stagers in the nation. When you learn from her, you are learning from the best. I have completed the RESP training programs well as all the additional courses she offers. They're all amazing and you will learn so much because there is so much information. I have and will continue to recommend SLS Academy.

The SLS Academy’s online Real Estate Staging Professional Certification Course is valuable in so many ways; the first being the actual name of the certification: “REAL ESTATE Staging Professional”. As this industry continues to grow, I think it's a beneficial designation for branding ourselves as Stagers in ALL areas of Real Estate to help broaden the awareness of services offered in ALL aspects of Staging: Vacation Staging, Commercial Property Staging, Investment Property Staging… in addition to Home Staging. And, if you're a member of The Real Estate Staging Association it’s a perfect match to be certified as a "Real Estate Staging Professional". The SLS Academy’s impressive course mimics Shauna Lynn Simon, herself … exuding a unique style and attention to detail. For Newbies with no prior staging education, the RESP Certification course has it all laid out … providing the necessary tools and knowledge for setting up a business with organized systems, policies & procedures, legalities, dozens of downloadable forms/spreadsheets, as well as fun tips, tricks, and helpful apps. Her thorough coursework covers absolutely every aspect of becoming a Stager with a realistic vision of the: pros, cons, options, explanations, and examples of what to expect in the staging and redesign industry.. providing a strong foundation with a roadmap for success. Thank you, Shauna Lynn. Great Course! I’m very excited to add this additional Certification through the SLS Academy to my own educational roadmap.. and I’m very proud to now also be an official ‘RESP’.
