ACT Now and
Get My "Extraordinary
Careers in Home Staging" Report - absolutely FREE!!
Have you always known you should have a career in Home Staging and Design...or at least you know now?
Then the following letter is probably the most
important (and exciting) one that you will ever read!
Dear Friend,
Do you know, in your heart, that it is “your turn now” and that a career in Home Staging is right for you, but you just did not know where or how to get started?
Are you already a Home Stager, but you feel like you are “out there on your own” and could use some solid business support, someone to talk with and ways to make more income, faster?
Maybe you are a real estate investor that needs to know how to move your properties fast no matter the exit strategy, especially in today’s real estate market.
Are you an Agent that wants some proven, creative strategies to sell your listings faster and a way to bring in some additional money?
OK OK—I HEAR YOU! You see, you are just like me. I am a real estate investor (soon to be agent as well), a Professional Home Stager, business owner, wife…you get the idea. I don’t have a lot of time to mess around!
When I first started my own Home Staging Company, Simple Appeal, Inc., I looked high and low for a great group that I could become a member of, so if I had a question, needed some feedback, or just wanted to network with like-minded women, I could do that.
I was also looking for some great membership benefits and hopefully wanting to speed up my learning curve so I could maximize my time and my dollar.
I did not think I was asking for too much, I simply wanted what I think you should get when you become a part of an association…right?
Believe it or not, I could not find one single so-called Home Staging “Association or Organization” that gave me all of what I was looking for.
You will probably laugh at me, but I am a member of AAA and I know what benefits I get from them and how much it costs me and I think it is a great value (especially since I lock my keys in my car at least once a month!).
I am also a member of a Professional Speaking Organization and I know my benefits there as well and the connections helped my speaking career to soar.
Both are great, for different reasons, but I always feel like I am a real member with real benefits and if I need something, these organizations help me to find the answer.
So why couldn’t I find that in the Home Staging Industry?
Obviously it’s a rhetorical question because there is no true answer…one just did not exist.
But, I needed a true organization! So, I decided to create exactly what I was looking for…
I was looking for...
"An organization that gives "on-going"
great content, value and recognition"
I was looking for...
"A Real Business Network & Training Association , so I could interact with other
Home Stagers across the country and the globe"
I was looking for...
"Useable and sizeable discounts and connections" AND...
did not want to "break the bank" and I wanted
to Be able to get an answer if I had a question!
Finally!A global network of Professional Home Stagers --
for all of us that love what we do as Home Stagers and
want to belong to a group that will give us notoriety,
a "real-world" continuing Training & Education System, Member Benefits,
the Business Support to keep us moving forward!

Now, that is the type of membership and association I was looking for! Have I said “Yippeee” yet?
I love my Career in Home Staging, I have a fabulous Global Network from which I learn and network every single day, my income is constantly increasing…what more could I ask?
Well, how about a way to bring this
amazing membership
program to you,
all year long for less than the cost of a trip to the spa?
Yes! I am serious!
You are probably wondering why I would do that for you right? Well, it is a very fair thought; let me tell you why…
Home Staging and Real Estate has changed my life and that of my family.
I really do love what I do, and I have gladly paid a high price for my education. I don’t mind spending money on the right education as I did well in a very short amount of time—but I simply won’t WASTE money. I would feel too guilty!
Besides, I am proud of the fact that I could come from behind, be careful with my money and my choices and now live life on my own terms.
I want the same for you.
This is an industry we all love so why should it be inaccessible or unaffordable? Why would we not want to all join together to create a powerful force, have fun and make a bunch of money…?
Plus, what good is a Fabulous Membership Program without fabulous members?
That is why I did everything within my power to create an amazing network of global Home Stagers, incredible benefits and powerful connections for such an affordable price. Really, it is going to blow your mind!
Are you dying to know? Okay, Okay, you are so impatient! I love it!
"I
Just Do What My Coach, Karen, Tells Me And I Make Money"
I have paid thousands of dollars for various Real Estate mentorship
and training programs and through my wife's new Staging & Design
Business! I now have the advantage of Karen's mentorship - which is
1000% much more involved than any of my previous mentors, she (Karen)
goes out of her way to make sure my wife's business is going to be successful.
She also helps me with my own investing questions. With Karen's mentorship
& on-going training program I know we can do it! Maria & Bob McKenzie, San Antonio, TX (APSD Property Designer)
I want to thank you for all your help staging our property. The property
was on the market for almost 12 months before contacting you, and we
watched our profits get gobbled up by holding costs. In less than a
month after your e-Staging, the property was under contract with second
buyer waiting in line -- amazing results from only 3 showings in that
time period! I'm convinced the "Pockets of Emotion" you created throughout
the house helped seal the deal. I can't wait to fix up another property
using ALL your techniques and profit from the results.
All year Long, you would receive the great APSD™ Membership Benefits:

What is holding you back?
That is a question only you can answer, but I will tell you this—if you are sitting and thinking about whether or not all the benefits that we have already mentioned are worth $47 a month, then, this may not be the program for you.
I am not trying to be mean or harsh. You just have to choose if this is right for you. It is right for me, and I love it and I promise, it will be right for you too. You will look back next year, and congratulate yourself on a smart choice.
Live the life you want. I did and I will look forward to seeing you there too!
To your growth and success,
Karen Schaefer
