Testimonials

Melanie Serra is the perfect person to conduct this training seminar. She exhibits the rare 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 dabbled 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. This was fun and worthwhile!!

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 "furniture 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!

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!

WOW!... what more can I say? Taking Melanie’s 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! Melanie's program gave me the tools and the confidence that I needed to launch my own staging business. 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.

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.
