Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease) November 08, 2010 - Otto-Founder of one of the most successful and fastest growing home staging companies in northern Texas has joined the Staging And Redesign (SAR) Company as Trainer. Starting in January, 2011, Otto will be offering certification courses for both stagers and real estate agents.

This newly re-written and re-released SAR Certification Course for Stagers combines classroom training with field experience to provide a strong foundation for the art and business of staging and redesign. The course has been completely updated to include the most current and relevant Home Staging Training for new stagers and seasoned staging professionals alike. This 3-day hands-on course takes place in a classroom setting that encompasses educational breakout sessions for ease of learning. Each course includes personalized instruction, as well as ongoing professional and marketing support, to help ensure participants' success. "I'm proud to announce I've joined the team at Staging and Redesign as a course instructor for the Texas Market offering the 3-day, 5-day and online SAR home staging training courses" Otto Stated. "I want to assure you this decision did not come lightly. I do not take lightly anything that involves my endorsement or brand being associated with it if I'm not 100% sure that I can truthfully share the information and believe in the product."

SAR courses were created and certified by Melissa Marro of Charleston, SC, who founded First Impressions Home Staging and Interior Redesign in 2005 and helped it become one of the premiere staging and training companies in the southeast. Marro tapped Otto to become the Texas SAR Instructor because of her longstanding record of success in the Dallas metropolitan area and her leadership in the staging/redesign industry. "I was initially skeptical and have long felt that although I took a training course myself and fully believe in them and the value they can offer if done correctly, there have been too many stagers and would be hopefuls in our industry who have invested their time, money and energy into various programs only to be out of business within a year or two, some even less." Otto goes on to say "From day one I could sense the difference. The other SAR instructors are respected, successful professionals in their markets, and they all have a passion for the industry as not only instructors but home stagers themselves!"

Otto-A Home Staging professional and Certified Home Staging Trainer-founded Home Star Staging in 2006 in Plano Texas and has since worked with many homeowners, realtors, builders and investors throughout the Northern Texas area.
