What

Melanie Serra is the perfect person to conduct this training seminar.
She exhibits the rate combination of skilled business woman and sensitive
humanitarian. Melanie is extremely talented and completely unselfish as she
shares her expertise in staging and redesign with the participants.
She’s patient with those students that have little or no experience, and she’s
open to ideas from those students that have already dabbed in the field.
Regardless of skill levels, Melanie is able to instill confidence in all
graduates as they go on to pursue their own careers.

It's so difficult to put in just a few words
my experience with Melanie Serra's Home
Staging Course. Melanie is one of the
most down to earth and friendly people I've
ever met. I knew I liked her over the phone
right away. However, after working and
training with Melanie, I learned what a
professional, talented and intelligent
individual she is. I gained a great deal of
knowledge from Melanie; she instilled the
confidence I didn't have before. Now I feel
I can move the world with those "sliders"
and make it even more beautiful than ever. I
HIGHLY recommend this class, not only is it
informative, it's fun!!!

I learned so much from Melanie’s home
staging course! I feel like I am now
ready to start my own business after the
training we received from the class. We
covered everything from marketing to pricing
to interior design principles. The “hands
on” field experiences were invaluable!
Melanie is a very down to earth and
approachable instructor and mentor. She
willingly shares her experiences and
knowledge of the home staging and decorating
fields. Melanie’s class was well worth the
money!
Linda Thomas – Dunwoody, GA |
People have asked me if I thought The Home
Stager’s Guild was worthwhile and if I
felt as though I got my money’s worth. I
told them that I learned so much and that I
wasn’t bored for a moment! As someone who
has attended and delivered thousands of
training programs and conference sessions, I
feel that the knowledge I gained speaks
volumes. Thanks for a great class!

Absolutely Fabulous!!!
I just can't say enough!
Taking the 4-day training in staging and
interior redesign from Melanie gave me the
knowledge and confidence to immediately
start my own business. Melanie's training
program has provided me with everything that
I needed to turn my dream into a reality!!!
Melanie has been available to answer all of
my questions following training, from
promoting and marketing my business to
actual home staging and interior redesign.
Her encouragement and advice have been
priceless. I am very proud to have attended
Melanie's Home Staging program and become a
member of the Home Stager's Guild. I hope
you have the same wonderful opportunity. It
has changed my life.

WOW!... what more can I say?
Taking Melanie’ course was wonderful. She is
so sweet, patient, intelligent and giving.
She is as good with her students as she is
with her clients, which I got to witness
first hand at the field houses that we
staged in her class. I learned way more than
I ever expected, and feel that when I open
my own business I came away with everything
that I need and much more. Melanie has her
own unique style that works, and a very
creative edge. I would strongly advise
anyone wanting to get into the home staging
field to take Melanie’s certified training
course and become a member of “The Home
Stager’s Guild”. I learned so much from her
as a business woman, a teacher and a mentor.

meetings and the charity event. I feel
blessed to have met you. You’re a wonderful
person.
Many thanks,

This seminar was “more” than I expected!
Par excellent! The ideas, concepts and
program content in this training were
invaluable! Can you put a price on
preparedness? I walked in with some
reservations about what I would learn, and
walked out a confident woman, fully prepared
to embrace a new direction in my life. The
field houses and the interactive exercises
all presented unique challenges and were
true representations of what one can expect
in operating their own business. “Thank
you.” I can’t begin to express my gratitude.

Why train
with Melanie Serra
|
Over
the past 15 years Melanie Serra was
often
approached about training and mentoring others.
After all, there were many other
stagers and redesigners jumping at the opportunity to
teach…why wasn’t she? For Melanie it was simple….it was
about timing and about integrity. Before she would call
herself an instructor or consider mentoring others, it
was imperative that she experienced ALL aspects of
running a successful home staging business. In order to
teach, she understood that she had to take her business
full circle from the early stages of start up, to
learning how to market and grow her business, to
establishing systems to avoid the “crash and burn” when
business peaks. Today, the combination of hard work,
commitment and drive is her proven track record to
success. As an instructor and mentor, her goal is to
help each student realize their full potential and help
them succeed in their business.
