Haverhill Home Staging posting on blogs?

By Tracy Coenen

This afternoon I  found 9 comments waiting to be posted on my blog, all for the post Buying a job with Haverhill Home Staging? Questionable.

All 9 comments were done this morning over a period of about three hours, and all were from the same IP address. All praised Haverhill, and suggested that only those willing to work hard would succeed in the Haverhill course.

So was it an overzealous Haverhill student standing up for the “school”??? No. It was someone posting from IP address 207.236.52.58, which traces back to a company called Magnolia Stone Productions. It just so happens that Magnolia is producing “Stagers Studio” for Haverhill, which is essentially advertising disguised as vignettes, to be played during HGTV home selling shows.

And incidentally, Darren Morgenstern is the owner of Haverhill and the executive producer at Magnolia. So it would appear the two companies are intertwined and the poster who left these nine comments was doing so on behalf of Haverhill.

Here are the comments left by the Haverhill operative:

I read a lot of blogs about Haverhill and some of the mix-ups that occur seem to me to be entirely that just mix-ups. I don?t think that the entire institute is a scam. I was always treated very fairly and have no complaints. I found the course reps to be pleasant and helpful. I really sailed thru this course without any hang-ups or frustrations. I?m not saying there could never be any problems for anyone taking the course but the personnel I spoke with were all right there for me. I?m actually a home stager now and it feels wonderful to have this success. My advice is to stick with what u started and see it thru. Happy staging to u all.

Nice to hear some positive feedback about Haverhill. I can?t believe that Haverhill would be the success that it is without ANY satisfied customers. Home staging is becoming a very big business and with my Haverhill accreditation i?m doing very well in Toronto. It?s very well thought of here. I love my work and that keeps me buoyant all the time now. It?s never redundant like a lot of jobs. I have had a lot of jobs in my life but I think i?m going to stick with this. Thanks to Haverhill I have a good name in the business (also due to giving good service if I do say so myself).

I?m glad that some of the other Haverhill students have spoken up. It?s not a scam but a very professional organization. Always stressing professionalism Haverhill brought out the best in me. I?ve always been efficient methodical (friends call me obsessive), now I have a career where paying attention to detail is a must. Haverhill accentuates that requirement?just my cup of tea. My sales experience comes in handy too so my business is doing well u really have to be able to sell yourself in this business. I was also treated very fairly by the Institute. I got a refund and accreditation so i?m well on my way and keeping busy. Good luck to all of u. Keep on staging.

Haverhill offers a comprehensive course on home staging I?m right now just starting to get clients for my home staging business and they have all heard of Haverhill. Realtors too. I have read many of the blogs about Haverhill being a scam but I was treated very fairly and so I don?t know where these blogs are coming from I just think it?s a good course and I even got my money back.

I have always been a creative person and my Haverhill accreditation helps me to get clients in Toronto and the surrounding areas. Many realtors in Toronto prefer Haverhill grads for their clients. It?s a booming industry these days and now that the recession is turning around it should even get better. Here?s to the future and I wish u all well.

Haverhill is a good course for someone who can work independently while juggling a full time job and kids. I completed the course in the allotted 6 months and passed with flying colors. Haverhill refunded my tuition when I returned all the course materials. I?m now working in home staging part time and really enjoying it. The whole idea really appealed to me b/c I like being my own person. I?m very efficient and I have boundless energy and that is definitely required.

The Haverhill course is not for quitters but If u are focused it?s a good learning experience and has hands on projects too. There is a tendency to neglect one?s studies when there is a lot on one?s plate but they give u plenty of time to complete the course so it?s all a matter of pacing yourself. I was never planning to hire on at Havergill but my accreditation is a good recommendation to clients and realtors alike. I was very pleased to get a refund even though I felt I got my money?s worth. All very high class.

Kudos to the people who successfully completed their career changes with Haverhill. Personally it has opened up a whole new world for me. I feel very necessary and the renumeration is great. I?m a people person and I love being in charge. Haverhill is a demanding course but the rewards are worth all the hard work. I don?t quail at hard work. Don?t even bother trying the course unless u are prepared to really apply yourself. If u have high energy then this is a very lucrative way to channel it. I don?t think anyone can do this but if u are really serious then go for it. U get a refund if u are not hired.

Taking the Haverhill course was a good decision on my part. I have a very strong drive and that is definitely required. I kept my objectives clearly in place and passed with a good mark. Now I have everything going for me lots of work and good contacts. Everyone I spoke to was very helpful and It was a good learning experience for me. Having this career has meant so much to me. It seems like just e yesterday I was toiling away at a job I hated, now I?m in charge of myself and others and it feels great. If home staging is for u then I would highly recommennd the Haverhill course.
