Champions School of Real Estate, a leader in Texas real estate pre-licensing and continuing education, is now offering the Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS) Designation. The Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS) Designation is the course for agents who want to sell their clients home in a quick and timely manner. In a seller's market, staging can sell a house on the first day it's listed. In a buyer's market, it can sell a house in a matter of days — not months. Staging is an absolute must, for every house, in every price range, in every market. “How a home looks is one of the most important selling points for any home and staging a house is an essential element for any agent. Buyers, when going through a home, will imagine themselves living in that home so there needs to be an emotional connection for them when they are walking through the home. Being able to stage every room in your house so potential buyers can be comfortable and imagine themselves living in that home, is a very important aspect of selling a home. The Certified Home Marketing Specialist (CHMS) Designation is a course that will provide the agent the tools needed to make staging work for them and their clients”, stated Rita Santamaria, owner and president of Champions School of Real Estate.

The cost of the designation is $199 and includes the following topics:

Strategic marketing dialog and staging techniques
Consultative recommendations
Psychology of color and buyer appeal
Steps of the staging process
Market Analysis PriceGraph — a graphic CMA
Selling "house" and "home" — advertising and photo tips that sell
