Let me just say again Thank You for your generosity in upping the Wow Factor in this beautiful home. I will recommend you every chance I get.

"Hi Becky,
Just jotting off a quick email to say that it has been a complete pleasure to work with Jerry and Jessie. My website should be finished soon and they have both made every effort to make it wonderful. My business cards came even earlier than expected and I love them! I'm already on the first page of Google which is amazing.
I'm so glad I made the decision to come to Jacksonville.
Thanks,
Liz"

New Online Class

 

You asked for it! You got it! The online class option is finally here. We are all so happy.

 

I feel like I just gave birth to a long overdue baby. Whew! I'm tired but euphoric!

 

While we feel that the Jacksonville award-winning hands-on training course is the best staging/training class in the country and the best way to get equipped for this new industry, not everyone can come to our city... busy mom's, real estate agents and many out west and in Canada. For those people, the online class is the next best thing. It contains all the content, color pictures and demonstrations that are in the on-site class.

 

The wonderful thing about this training is that you can attend the live-online tele-seminar, and you also get the physical product. As you attend the online class, you can reinforce your knowledge at your own pace with 7 DVD's and 5 CD's plus a comprehensive manual.

 

This has been a year in the making. Many online programs offer one or the other, online tele-seminar or physical product. We give you both.

 

During the tele-seminar, you will have an opportunity for feedback, questions and personal coaching.

We are so happy to have another excellent option for all those people who want to have a home-based business with flexible hours. One of our recent graduate single moms just got $1200 after staging a large house. She also recently co-hosted a realtor's luncheon for another rather expensive property and the house sold within days. Congratulations Kelly Norton from Total Home Management. 

 

The first three classes are going to be live tele-seminars on Monday and Thursday nights and Saturday mornings. The dates are May 2nd, 5th and 7th; June 6th, 9th, and 11th; or August 1st, 4th and 6th.
