"I was in a tedious admin role when my Mom died and it really made me evaluate what I was doing. I started the Staging Diva Training Program 6 weeks later and it was just the kick I needed.
It really helped me understand how to run a home staging business. I didn’t want to reinvent the wheel. I wanted to know what works and what doesn’t from someone who has been there so that I can set up my business quickly and simply. These expectations were exceeded.
Debra Gould has saved me hours of time and frustration by providing a simple, no-nonsense process to follow. She has also made sure that I’m building the business and attracting the clients that I want, and charging what I’m worth for it. All with a hefty dose of motivation and ‘go girl’ attitude. I'm totally ready to go out there and help people sell their homes and get on with their lives.”
– Imogen Brown (AU)*

"I had a lot of fear that was holding me back from pursuing what I really wanted to do and be. The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program gave me the confidence to move forward.
The behind-the-scenes of how home staging works was a mystery to me, and I felt that Debra Gould’s transparency in the course CDs was open and honest.
I needed a mentor to help me figure out the inner workings of the business from pricing to marketing and I felt that’s exactly what Debra delivered.”
– Amy Spencer (SC)*
Amy Spencer Interiors
“I just got paid $9,500 for a redesign project. Debra it is unbelievable, I never thought I could get paid this much for decorating. I was just all smiles the whole day yesterday because I feel like I got paid to play!
And while choosing furniture for my current project, I met a different couple in the store and helped them choose the right artwork and lamps for their own place. It turns out they just renovated their home and because they liked the ideas I shared in the store, they want me to do their whole house right after Christmas! Isn’t that amazing?!
Honestly, the $1,300 I spent for the Staging Diva Program is by far the best purchase ever. I am still in shock with the turn of events with my new company! I’m so excited for more things to come in the new year!”
– Red Barrinuevo (ON)*

Staging Diva offers a wealth of materials and is the reason my self-confidence and self-assurance have blossomed these past 5 years."

"The Staging Diva Program has inspired me to change my life and pursue a career that will be fulfilling emotionally and financially. The journey to become a home stager has brought new purpose and meaning to my life, and a goal to obtain.
Debra's emails encourage me to stay the course and keep going. All I know is for the first time in my life I have a direction, purpose and a goal to reach for!"

"I have never done home staging before, and yet I feel well equipped to begin my business. I am so excited to get started.
It didn't take me long to complete the course. I completed it in a weekend and then went back and reviewed all the materials again. The recordings are easy to listen to on my walks and they serve as a great refresher of what I learned."

How It Works
The Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program is made up of 5 course modules. Each one is approximately 2 hours of audio recordings plus accompanying study notes and checklists. You can pause, rewind or re-listen to the courses as often as you like.
You'll get assignments/exercises that reinforce your learning and move you closer to your goal of making money as a home stager. You don't have to submit your results for grading. And there are no exams.
We don't believe in giving you make-work projects or asking you to jump through unnecessary hoops to complete your training. You will gain significant advantages by following the Staging Diva System, so homework is provided only to encourage you to take the steps needed to get staging and decorating jobs.
The program teaches you what you need to know to get up and running fast. We keep it simple. All the courses and accompanying materials are described in detail below!
Learn How to Turn Your Talent
Into Something Clients
Will Pay You For
When you have the eye of a home stager, you can't help but notice that the furniture or accessories are in the wrong place when you walk into a room.
It's something you do from instinct, because you have natural ability. It's like a reflex.
If that's you, you don't need a decorating course. Your challenge is how to turn that creative instinct into something people will pay you for.
What you need is home staging business training.
That’s exactly what Staging Diva specializes in: teaching you everything you need to know to make money from your decorating talent.
In the Staging Diva Program, you'll learn how to build a successful business with flexible hours that lets you make your own schedule. Choose when you want to work!
"I've made more money working part time in 10 months as a stager than I used to make all year in my full-time job as a manager.
Plus I can home school my boys in the mornings and work my staging business in the afternoons. I work my own hours, set my schedule and my sons get a first-hand look at running a business.
I hope that seeing the courage I found to follow my own dream will inspire my kids to follow theirs, and to know that anything is possible!"
– Laura Kakoschke (AB)*
Hunter Lake Home Staging and Design
If you're serious about becoming a home stager, it's important to choose the right training so that you'll learn how to make money in home staging without wasting your time.
As a Staging Diva student, you'll get a realistic view of what it takes to succeed because your teacher and mentor Debra Gould has personally staged and decorated houses since 2002.
She has helped hundreds of her own staging clients while learning the ins and outs of how to get more jobs and make money in a staging business.
In the courses, you'll hear Debra share stories and lessons from actual client projects, not abstract theories that may or may not work in the real world.
Because the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training Program is based on real world experience, it will put you years ahead. Saving you the time-wasting frustrations of figuring it all out on your own.
Imagine taking a huge shortcut to your own success and then making back the cost of your training after only 1 or 2 home staging jobs!
"The Staging Diva Program transformed my way of thinking about the business of home staging.
I was formerly trained by two other 3-day staging programs. In fact, I was even a teacher for one of them!
However, their staging pricing model was incorrect.
Their wrong information kept me stuck. Trudging up a difficult hill wondering why I wasn't making real money as a home stager.
It wasn't until Debra explained home staging consulting and billing correctly, that I was able to shift into better home staging income levels."
– Jill Gargus-Turgeon (AB)*
Simply Irresistible Interiors Inc.
"I'd been checking out Staging Diva and other home staging programs for over a year. Honestly Debra's course exceeded my expectations.
I love the fact that this program is a 'blueprint' with all the ins & outs of developing a staging business — what a gift!
The Staging Diva Home Staging Training Program proved to be 'over-the-top' on a scale of 1 to 10."
– Ameenah Lutfee (CA)*

Perhaps you have a full-time or part-time job you're not ready to give up, or maybe you're a stay-at-home mom who needs to make extra money while your kids are in school.
Many Staging Diva Graduates have left unrelated careers to become home stagers because they're tired of doing work they're not passionate about. They're thrilled to discover they can make just as much money (or more) being their own boss and running a home staging business.
Be a full-time home stager
