“...This brings my total house sales to 7 from February to May 2008. I didn't sell ANY houses last year and it wasn't from lack of trying...”
“Hi Karen, I can't wait to share the news!!!! We had three couples through the house and they each stayed about 45 minutes to an hour...So the news is, the last couple needs to do a lease option contract ... We have already checked their credit and the wife's boss has offered to guarantee 24 lease payments.
On another house, one I own with a partner we also have a young couple who need a lease option contract.
I showed 2 Houses this weekend that I used pockets of emotion staging and I have 2 lease option buyers!!! Yeah :)
This brings my total house sales to 7 from February to May 2008. Psssst... I didn't sell any houses last year and it wasn't from lack of trying.”
“...I just got my first staging job... I charged $11,970.00”
“I just got my first staging job in Flagstaff - that 3500 sq ft 1.4 million home (which the seller is hoping to sell for 1.55M) - ironically it's a very similar home to the one in your million dollar staging. I charged $11,970.00 so hope I haven't shot myself in the foot again by undercharging!”
“...We bought a house Monday evening using your suggestions…and Tuesday morning we had 2 buyers call...”
“Karen, I just have to say, you were FABULOUS this weekend. Gina and I couldn’t get over how polished you were and how you never seemed to get weary! We were all dragging, and you were still ready to go. How do you do that????
We were both extremely humbled to be able to spend such quality time with you. We feel very blessed to be a part of your team. We hope we can add to it, and help it grow.
Thanks again for a FANTABULOUS weekend…
Warmly, Nancy

“...I would recommend Karen Schaefer's teaching program, and 'Simple Appeal' to anyone. You will be amazed!...”
“I had the pleasure of having Karen Schaeffer and crew in my townhome to do an e-staging. There are a number of units on sale that have not sold, with one being taken off the market. Knowing this I felt it was important to have the townhome professionally staged.
Karen had a group of students in as part of an e-staging process. I was amazed at how I felt from these simple changes. It went from being a house to a home, with a vision of what still could be done to have a continued sense of warmth and intention for each area. Karen provided options and ideas to update the town home and to make it truly marketable in the complex it is in.
Wow, is all I can say! It was also wonderful to watch Karen teach her students. She let them practice, and then dialoged on, added to or highlighted what they were saying as teaching points. It was a totally enjoyable experience with an amazing outcome. What a wonderful skill to have and to be taught. I would recommend Karen Schaffer's teaching program, and 'Simple Appeal' to anyone. You will be amazed!”
Donna Gibbs
“...1000% much more involved than any of my previous mentors”
“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)
“...Karen’s training is essential if you want a successful Staging & Designing Business”
“I thought it (the APSD Property Designer Certification Program) was amazing, hands-on training alongside Karen who constantly gives you direction and suggestions so you can see exactly how she sees things. You go shopping with her, you’re seeing these stores with a whole new set of eyes. Karen’s training is essential if you want a successful Staging & Designing Business”
Kelly Reardon, Los Angeles, CA (APSD™ Property Designer)
“...prepared me so I can see how a successful business can really happen...”
“Very fun, the (APSD™ Property Designer Certification Program) prepared me so I can see how a successful business can really happen. The best part was the Live Staging – It’s when everything came together!”
Colleen Durkin, Brunswick, GA (APSD™ Property Designer)
“...Karen is so giving of her time and information – she’s just amazing!”...”
“It's a phenomenal program. I learned so much, I feel like my brain is on overload right now. I could hardly sleep because I was thinking about the possibilities. The PD Training will explode my business – Karen is so giving of her time and information – she's just amazing!”
Julie Alloway, Redondo Beach, CA (APSD™ Property Designer)
“...not only did she teach us how to stage - but how to build our business, and for us that's HUGE...”
"This weekend Karen has given us 100% confidence that we will be able to go back and make money tomorrow. I didn't believe it at first, but after all this training (it's phenomenal!) - I now believe in the system. There are so many specific things that she gave us that will transform our business. We are newer investors, and not only did she teach us how to stage – but how to build our business, and for us, that's HUGE. Business is all about systems, systems, systems - and that is what Pete and Karen are teaching us. Without systems, you won't really succeed in the business. So we're both very happy that we're here. We love you Karen, thanks for everything!"
Gina Smith & Nancy Battis,
Red Door Ladies LLC, St. Louis , Missouri
“...What I really like about this...is that mentorship is part of the program.”
“We just finished the three-day seminar with Karen. It was absolutely amazing! We absolutely loved it. We would do it again. She's having another one coming up in October, and although we haven't talked about it, I would love to go!
I learned a lot these three days with Karen about doing the set design the property designing. What I really like about this and I didn't expect it, is that mentorship is part of the program. And there so many times I have taken real estate training programs and gotten really excited about it, and gotten all trumped up, and I leave and go home and the real world hits me on Monday and things come at me. The next thing I know I'm starting to lose what I had gained at the workshop. But with Karen, she is going to stay with us she's going to help us build our business and I'm real excited about the relationship we are going to have with her.”
Michael Babcock & Helen Pollack,
St. Louis , Missouri
“...There is such commitment with the team that Karen has, that we are really confident that we will be able to succeed no matter what...”
“I just want to say how much Karen has really helped us grow. She's given us a lot of really good business ideas for our new business. We've had businesses before, but she's kind of opened our minds to the bigger possibilities for our new business. She's really pointed out what a great team we are. There is such commitment with the team that Karen has - that we are really confident that we will be able to succeed no matter what. Not only is Karen on our team, but all of the people we took PD training with, and all the previous PD students. We are all a huge team - and we have that to rely upon. I think we’re going to go out and make some money pretty soon here. And when you see us next year we're going to be rich!”
Anne & Gary Riley,
High Ridge, MO
“...Thank you...for the... wealth of information you both provided at the PD training...”
“Karen, just wanted to thank you and Pete again for your hospitality, special arrangement of my transportation, and the wealth of information you both provided at the PD training last weekend. Thank you so very much!!!”
“We came to the Simple Appeal training course to insure that our business got off to a fast start. There is no doubt in my mind now that in 90 days that we will be ROLLING in dough! Karen and Pete have done an incredible job in making sure we get a verygoodbusinesssystem so we don’t have to reinvent the wheel. It’s been well worth it.”

“...You can basically get started as soon as you get home!”
“I would just like to thank both Pete and Karen. It was a fabulous program they’ve put together. They’ve covered all the bases. You can basically get started as soon as you get home! I really want to let them know that I appreciate all the work they’ve done to make this a fabulous class.”
- John Bowdoin

NEW! Introducing The World’s First
(and Only) “Master’s Level” Staging & Design Training, Mentoring & Turn-Key Business System
“If You Qualify...We’ll Take You By The Hand And PersonallyLeadYou To Your Dream Staging & Design Business And A Life Of MoreMoney, Choices, Admiration, Success and Complete Controlof YourTime…”
Dear Friend,
If you’re the right person, as you take a few moments to read this letter to the end, it will become abundantly clear to you that I’m describing a one-of-a-kind system that could be responsible for you making hundreds of thousands of dollars over the next few years.
An opportunity for you to be coached and mentored directly by Karen Schaefer - The #1 Property Staging and Design Business Coach in America – where you will:
Find out how to run your own business(from home, if you choose) with all the tools you need to get up and running and make money from day one
Become the local market expert on selling houses FASTwith unforgettable staging, compelling marketing and second-to-none curb appeal
Never be left alone As long as you decide to run your staging company, I am there to support you in the constant growth of your business
Quite Possibly the Perfect Business for Today’s Real Estate Market
In this buyer’s market, homeowners everywhere are desperately trying to sell their houses at close to market value – without much success. Either they can’t sell at all – or they’re taking a beating on price.
As a result, homeowners are urgently seeking anything – ANYONE who can help them salvage their investment...which means...
The staging business isHOT-HOT-HOT! The media has been quick to jump on the staging and “curb appeal” bandwagon:
"...These days it is a buyers market so it pays to make your home standout. Staging can increase your sales price by 7% and make your house sell up to 100 Days FASTER" Matt Lauer
Today Show
May 2007
For legitimate Staging & Design companies ( the rare few who actually know how to make a house SELL...), all of this positive press and “BUZZ” is good news. However, you need to beware...
WARNING- Lots of People Can Show You How to Make a House Look Pretty
The BAD NEWS is that all this “buzz” has led to a “feeding frenzy” of so-called staging “gurus”, with courses, seminars and books popping up everywhere.
Maybe you’ve been lured into one of those high-priced seminars promising to show you how to stage a home – and all you got was a crash-course in making a house look like a Pottery Barn.
...But Can They Show You How to Make REAL Money?
Not only did you NOT find out how to make a house SELL FAST (which is the whole PURPOSE of staging – to SELL a house at full market value) but you didn’t walk away with the tools you need to actually have a profitable business.
In the end, you’re left dealing with the *sighs* and disappointed looks from a spouse or business partner who’s tired of you wasting money on seminars, courses and Clinics that don’t produce measurable, profitable results!
Let me let you in on a dirty little secret these “wannabe experts” don’t want you to know...
Most staging courses and seminars are run by people who’ve never actually staged a home in their life. Instead, they’ve read a few design books or maybe have a university degree in design. And what’s worse, they have no experience in running a profitable staging & design business. They have no clue how to run a successful business – period!
So how in the heck can you expect them to teach YOU to do something they don’t know how to do themselves???
Who I Am and Why You Should Listen to Me
I’m a former Hollywood actor. Maybe you’ve seen me in major motion pictures with Bruce Willis, James Woods, and Sara Jessica Parker and more. But that’s not necessarily why you should listen to me.
I’ve been a corporate spokesperson for high profile industries, many fortune 500 companies and I’ve even worked with some of the most exciting and profitable “dot com” businesses around!
But again, that’s not why you should be excited. Here’s why you should stand up and pay attention:
In the last 3 ½ years I’ve personally turned over $6 Million Dollars in property as a real estate investor - single family, multi-units as well as commercial properties. But it’s the “how I did it” part that should interest you most...
In the last 3 ½ years I’ve personally turned over $6 Million Dollars in property as a real estate investor - single family, multi-units as well as commercial properties. But it’s the “how I did it” part that should interest you most...
This is MORE than Staging...MORE than Curb Appeal...
I became a MASTER of using the art of “scene creation” and layering in Pockets of Emotion™ - a proprietary system devised by me (that I’m willing to teach you too...keep reading). This secret process makes a house unforgettable and differentiates it from the other 25 that potential buyers see that weekend.
The result?
My team of nationwide Certified Property Scene Designers have an Average Days on Market of just27 while the National Average is a shocking 170+ days.
If this doesn’t take your breath away, read it again. It should.
Considering the current state of the real estate...
When You Possess the “Magic” Ability To Sell a Property in ½ the Time at Full Market Value - People Will Line Up Down the Street To Give You INSANE Amounts of Money To Do It For Them
As a result of my massive success in real estate investing, I started my own staging company just 3 years ago—called Simple Appeal – and our success could only be described as “rocket ride”! In just 36 months, Simple Appeal has become one of the very few nationally-recognized staging companies.
I’m now consistently invited to be a guest speaker and presenter nationwide on effectively staging and designing to sell houses. I’ve written hundreds of articles on staging, selling, business-building and real estate. Our designs have been featured on the cover of Homes and Land magazine.
I was the first—and I’m still considered to be the only one that really teaches staging and design from the perspective of selling the house, versus just making it look pretty. And as you know...selling faster results in repeat business, which means a boat-load more money for you!
I am also the first one to present staging & design as a profitable vehicle for investors, as well as, realtors.
The #1 Question You Should Ask Of Anyone Who Says They Can Make You RICH in the Staging & Design Business...
Here’s some great advice that will serve you well for the rest of your life:
“Don’t Take Advice From Broke People On How To Get Rich”
With that in mind, if you want to make serious money in the staging & design business, what’s the #1 question you should ask of someone who says they can teach you?
Your #1 most important question should be...
Are YOU making serious money in the Staging & Design
Business yourself???
The#2 most important question should be...
Are you teaching people like me to make serious money in the Staging & Design business, and doyouhavePROOF???
And to both of those questions, my answer is an emphatic YES!
I must admit, for the last couple years I’ve resisted the constant badgering of my fellow real estate investors to reveal my “secret sauce” for selling houses in ½ the time at full market value. But then I finally decided I would reveal my “recipe” - but on a VERY limited basis to a small number of highly dedicated students ONLY
So over the past 6 months, I’ve personally coached and trained a very select group of highly-motivated entrepreneurs to make more money, gain complete control over their time…and turn their Staging & Design businesses into automatic money machines that support the lifestyles of their dreams.
Some are real estate agents - some are investors – while others are stay at home moms looking to run their own business from home and still make good money. Some were making 6 figure incomes when they heard about me, some were making less – didn’t matter.
Without a shadow of doubt, from my own efforts, and the efforts of my students, I’m responsible for the successful staging, design and - most importantly...the sale of more homes in ½ the time at full market value - than any single person alive.
I get results, so my students do what I advise them to do. I’d gladly go “face-to-face” and “toe-to-toe” on Staging & Design with anyone on the planet.
Could You Use An Extra $5,000 or More This Month Working 5-10 Hours a Week?
Got more time? Could you put in 15 or so hours a week and stand to earn $7000 to $15,000? It’s up to you. Read the success stories included on this website. Watch the videos. This is the REAL DEAL. People just like you are making this kind of money and MORE!
Now –– NOT everyone will apply themselves with the same dedication. You must be a “doer” - not simply a “dreamer”. If you’re looking for some kind of pie-in-the-sky “plan” that allows you to just pay a few bucks and “magically” make money overnight with no work on your part, you might as well stop reading. This isn’t for you.
But if you are teachable, take instruction well (without constant prodding and poking from me) and you’re willing to actually DO something - I can show you how to make more money...in less time...having more FUN doing it...than you ever thought possible!
Why Seminars, Manuals, & CDs ALONE Rarely Lead to Financial Freedom
If you’re like me, chances are you have shelf-after-shelf full of manuals, books, audio cd’s and other learning materials. Everything from real estate, wealth creation, marketing, self-development...I could go on and on.
Now, I’m certainly not knocking these methods of learning. I’ve valued greatly from most of these materials...but...
Let me ask you - have you read or listened to them all? I’ll confess – I haven’t!
Or better yet – let me ask you – have you IMPLEMENTED everything that you’ve learned? No?
Look - even the most rigid disciplinarian has a hard time immediately going through all those materials, much less implementing all the “hot tips” and “secret techniques”...
You may have great intentions, but then life gets in the way. Phones ring. Unexpected things happen. You get sick. Your kid gets sick. Who knows? The point is...
Sometimes You Just Want To Talk to a REAL Person And Say:“Please, Just SHOW Me What I Need To Do To Be Successful NOW”
In my days as an actor, it wasn’t until I hired a professional acting coach that I went from doing commercials and way Off-Broadway plays - to landing roles in major motion pictures. Why? Because it’s hard to watch yourself as an actor and “diagnose” what you could do to improve.
A professional, experienced coach can IMMEDIATELY identify the problem and give you the correct solution. The result? Much FASTER success!
Think about it – Venus Williams, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods...all legendary athletes have a coach or a mentor. In fact, according to Forbes magazine, so do many of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs and business owners.
A great coach will motivate you...hold you accountable...and, quite frankly, give you a swift kick in the butt when necessary!
So that’s why...
I’m selecting a very small group of QUALIFIED real estate agents, investors and aspiring entrepreneurs to be mentored by ME personally. I will take you by the hand and guide you…step-by-step… to creating the most profitable, least stressful…AND FUN…Property Staging & Design Business you could imagine.
Your current income… or…success level is NOT relevant in taking part. But you must be 100% SERIOUS about multiplying your income and gaining the business and life YOU desire.
If you are, you’re invited to apply for membership in this elite group that will send shockwaves across the real estate industry over the next 24 months. But you must act now…”

3-Day Intensive Property Scene Designer Hands-On Closed-Door Clinic: only you (and your spouse, partner or key employee) and a handful of other (ONLY 10 total will be allowed into this program!) Property Scene Designer Coaching and Business-Building System® trainees will join me for this closed-door, rigorous private training in Denver, Colorado. Get ready to roll up your sleeves. I will cover everything, including:
My Proprietary Staging & Design method of using very little furniture but lots of emotional triggers to create “scenes” in each room (just like in the movies) and then layer in something that makes them pause, laugh, remember, enjoy, be surprised- to make a house unforgettable. This is the SECRET to selling homes at full market value in ½ the time.
We’ll even take a “shopping field trip” to my HUGE staging warehouse here in Colorado, where I will show you exactly what staging items to buy – plus why and how to use them to make your houses SELL FAST.

My Proprietary Staging & Design method of using very little furniture but lots of emotional triggers to create “scenes” in each room (just like in the movies) and then layer in something that makes them pause, laugh, remember, enjoy, be surprised- to make a house unforgettable. This is the SECRET to selling homes at full market value in ½ the time.
Hear me on this: I cannot stress how important effective marketing is to the success or failure of your business. You can be the greatest Staging & Designing expert in the world (and you’ll be CLOSE when you put my techniques into action), but if you do NOT have a turn-key SYSTEM in place that will give you a steady supply of highly-qualified prospects, your simply cannot succeed.
So that’s why I place so much emphasis on using proven, tested marketing techniques to EXPLODE your business. This isn’t unproven theory or expensive, ineffective “brand-building” advertising (that stuff doesn’t work! Don’t do it!)
Instead, I’ll show you a step-by-step, proven methodology forged over years of trial–and-error. Timeless money-making marketing concepts that have proven themselves time-and-again with my own Staging & Design company, as well as for my students’ businesses.
You’ll have full access to a marketing “system”. This system of proven ads, strategies and concepts have the proven, predictable power to draw highly-qualified buyers to your homes...in ANY market...in ANY economy...so you can sell homes FASTER and for MORE money. This is ultimately what your client wants which will result in future Staging and Design jobs!
9 (yes, NINE) Streams of Income from ONE Business: you’ll be amazed at how many ways there are to make money in this business. It’s more than just getting paid to stage a house and sell it – MUCH more.
Some of the ways to make money I’ll reveal at this 3-day closed-door Clinic produce “residual income” – in other words...you do the work once, keep getting paid over and over.The money comes in even if you’re sleeping, sipping umbrella drinks on the beach, or just plain goofing off with your family!
And the best part, when you leave this 3-day event, you’ll have full working knowledge AND the ongoing support to put just a few, or ALL nine income generation methods into practice from day one, if you choose!
How to Add Investment Properties to Your Portfolio (along with FSBO’s and Realtor Listings). You may only be looking at this program because you want to have your own Staging & Design business...but why stop there?
When I teach you my proprietary Staging & Design method, and you see how much FASTER it enables you to sell a home for full market value, you’ll be chomping at the bit to make the BIG BUCKS in investing.
Even if you have NO real estate investment experience, I’ll show you how to use your new staging and design expertise to MAKE A FORTUNE!
How To Charge Fees Higher Than the Competition: like I mentioned earlier, since Staging, Design and curb appeal have become the big “buzz words” in the real estate industry, you are very likely to encounter competition. And since MOST business owners don’t have a CLUE how to market themselves properly (unlike YOU will - after you learn my system), they resort to cutting fees to compete.
This “lowest fee gets the client” attitude only leads to doing more work, for less money, for cheap, bottom-feeding, pain-in-the-you-know-what clients!
This is why you will be referred to as a Certified Property Scene Designer. You will be head and shoulders above mere “stagers”. This will set you apart in your market as the go-to expert for SELLING the property...not just making it look pretty.
With my system, you can let your competitors fight over the riff-raff! I’ll show you a way to charge MORE than ALL of your competition, do less work...and get the best clients! In fact, there are powerful psychological “triggers” and methods that will easily let you to get a MINIMUM fee of $1000.00, when others are quoting fees of $75.00. We’ll show you exactly what to do, step-by-step, to get this fee...and even higher!
How to Set Goals and Train Your Mind To Achieve Them in Record Ti006De: It never ceases to amaze me that I could show two people the exact same proven system for making money, and one person will take it for everything it’s worth and make GIANT money FAST...while the other won’t do a darn thing with it.
So what’s the difference? It’s all about MINDSET - setting goals, putting together a realistic PLAN to achieve those goals, and managing your time so you achieve those goals FAST.
At this 3-day training event, we’ll work with you one-on-one to help you to not only set life-changing goals, but also help you develop a “doable” plan to achieve them FAST - so your new “lifestyle” business makes you the envy of all your friends!
AND MUCH, MUCH MORE...
As you can see, the 3-Day Intensive Property Scene Designer Coaching and Business-Building System® Hands-On Closed-door Clinic Training will give you EVERYTHING you need to get up and running to make money from day one in your very own Staging & Design business...
But WAIT...
The 3-Day Training Is Just The Beginning! That’s not even CLOSE to being all...

By Now You’re Probably Wondering “OK Karen, HOW MUCH???”
Not as much as it should be. This system covers every possible need, want, or desire you could EVER have when starting into a new business...
Every tool you could ever need (keep in mind...these are the tools that I USE to run a very successful Staging & Design Business) Ongoing training...events...marketing...networking...coaching...
– you name it – it’s ALL here. I’ve poured everything I could possibly THINK of into this system to get you off to a lightning-fast start making HUGE sums of money...working only the hours YOU want to work.
It’s a complete, proven business system that’s virtually impossible to fail. The only way you could fail is to DO nothing. And if you’ve read this far, I’m quite sure that doesn’t describe you.
But you must also consider that this is also a very PRIVATE affair. I only accept 10 (ten) new members into this program at a time. We have limited the number of members that we accept at once so we can devote COMPLETE attention to your every need. So that means when you come to experience this exclusive 3-day Property Scene Staging and Design Hands-On Closed-Door Clinic, it will ONLY be you, nine other like-minded property scene designers and ME. That’s it. You simply will NOT get that kind of attention ANYWHERE else.
So what is that kind of undivided attention from The #1 Property Staging and Design Business Coach in America worth?
$20,000.00...$40,000.00?...$80,000.00? Sure it is. In fact, I would argue that it’s worth more...
Consider this: The average franchise owner earns a pre-tax income of only $124,290 – and only reaches that level after working 60-80 hour weeks for years on end!
I’m offering you the opportunity of making AT LEAST that much in the first year alone...
Plus, to buy the franchise, they would usually be expected to pay at least $100,000 in start-up fees...
I’m asking as TINY FRACTION of that amount.
Plus 10% of gross sales for LIFE.
You NEVER have to pay me a percentage of your gross sales. The more you make, the more you KEEP.
Amazingly, the cost of the training is not even half of the $20,000K I mentioned above. That pays for your entry fee into the 3-Day Intensive Property Scene Staging and Design Hands-On Closed-Door Clinic, as well as for your spouse or significant employee.
And, to maintain your Property Scene Designer Coaching and Business-Building System®Membership, and get all of the ongoing training, mentoring, coaching, access to all the tools, APSD membership and FREE access to LIVE events, you only pay $997/year starting 365 days after your initial payment and attendance at the 3-Day Intensive Property Scene and Design Hands-On Closed-Door Clinic. You read that right! I’m giving you 1 YEAR FREE- a $997.00 savings!
What To Do Now to Get On the Fast Track to a Highly- Profitable Staging & Design Business of Your Own
Keep in mind that we ONLY ACCEPT 10 NEW MEMBERS into this- SUPER Hands-On, Closed Door EXCLUSIVE “Masters Level” training system - at a time. In fact, our next session may already be sold out. To check and see if there is availability at our next 3-Day SUPER-Training, fill out this application to get started.
You will immediately be notified if there are openings. If not, your name will be put on the waiting list for our next available training.
If you’re hesitating, it probably means that you think that this investment seems like a lot of money. So then my question is...compared to what? What else can you possibly do with that kind of money that will let you completely change your financial future AND let you live life on your own terms?
Depending on your area, the average staging job will net you $2500.00! At that rate, by the time you get your 4th or 5th job, you’ll have already paid off your initial investment of the 3-day seminar and made a tidy profit. Do you really believe we can’t show you how to get 5 measly staging jobs? I’ve just showed you how you’re going to get access to ALL my proven marketing pieces...so getting jobs will be the EASY PART!
Plus, keep in mind that staging jobs are just ONE of NINE income streams we’ll teach you with this system. If you even implement HALF of what we show you, you’ll have 4 or 5 different sources of CASH flowing into your bank account in the first 120 days!
Look. Did you go to college? What did it cost you? $30,000? $50,000...$100,000? How much of that money has had a direct relationship to the amount of money you make now and the amount of enjoyment you have in your life? Can you even do the math on something that small? Where else can you make such a small investment and reap such GIANT financial AND lifestyle dividends for the next 5, 10 to 20 years?
What’s that? You’re worried that it sounds too good to be true? Maybe it’s not ALL I’ve said it is? If that’s what you’re thinking, you’re in luck. There’s NO risk to you, because I’m offering you this...

Using my secret techniques, my team of nationwide Certified Property Scene Designers have an Average Days on Market of just 27 while the National Average is 170 days. When you possess the almost “magical” ability to sell a house in 1/2 the time at full market value, people will line up down the street to give you money!Fill out the application now and get on the track to financial freedom TODAY!
P.S. #2: Remember, I only let 10 new Certified Property Scene Design Coaching and Business-Building System® Members into the program at one time.

And (2) since you will be prepared to make money from day one after the Clinic, my team will be available to answer any questions and give you the support you need to make SURE you make money as FAST as possible!
P.S. #3: This is MORE than a one-time “boot camp” (where you forget most of what you learn a week after you leave) or a bunch of manuals, CDs and books (that you never “get around to” doing anything with).
This is a CompleteBusiness-BuildingSYSTEM: ongoing training, mentoring, coaching, support, tools, ”plug-and-play” proven marketing materials, live events and MORE - with ONE GOAL in mind...to get you up and running as FAST as possible making BIGMONEY in your very own Staging & Design Business.
