Christine Rae, Founder and CEO of Certified Staging Professionals International Business Training Academy, an educational program for home staging consultants, features expert insight about the mindset of a professional staging professional, as opposed to an interior decorator.?
St. Catharines, Ontario ? September 14, 2011 ? Christine Rae, Founder and CEO of Certified Staging Professionals International Business Training Academy, recently published a blog on her website http://www.stagingtraining.com/ that addresses the important difference between professional staging and decorating. The blog, titled ?Real Estate Staging: This is a Business, Not An HGTV Makeover Show!? identifies the element of strategic marketing as the backbone of staging, as opposed to decorating, which is motivated by personal design taste.
Rae writes, ?The real estate staging business is far from decorating. It?s about business; about real estate. It?s about making a sale. It?s about marketing a client?s home for a successful real estate contract, high ROI and closing. That?s what my business trains you to do well. At the CSP International Business Training Academy, graduates learn this concept in great detail. The distinction is very important.?
?When thinking about property for sale, it?s critical to consider it as a marketable commodity rather than a place of residence. This is significant for the seller also. Rather than their home continuing to function as the place of solace and comfort it has been for years, it must be considered as sellable product to be marketed to buyers for all of its compelling features. This is, often, a challenging transition of thought. But that?s what staging is all about,? reports Ms. Rae.
CSP International? trains home stagers through a comprehensive course of study that includes 3 days class and field instruction, 4 weeks of home study and 6 weeks of hands-on market coaching. CSP is also a resource for Realtors and home sellers to find and hire graduates of this highly accredited staging education program, for assisting them in successfully closing their real estate sale.

Growing from one course to a complete school with several physical locations and 15 well trained instructors, the CSP program is the leading global source for finding highly trained stagers and is the primary destination for anyone wanting to become a stager, it is the company more real estate agents turn to, on behalf of their clients.

I am new to the Home Staging business. I had originally taken another Home Staging course and received their certification. However, my experience was very disappointing; my interaction with their staff was unsatisfactory, I was unable to communicate directly with a trainer and the course was limited. Follow-up and mentorship was non-existent. I really felt ?
Several weeks ago I had the pleasure of being a trainee in CSP?s intensive three-day staging training workshop with Nairn Friemann in New York City. Being an interior designer for 37 years, and practicing in both the residential and commercial areas, it is usually me who plays ?teacher? rather than student. I must confess that ?
Last year I enrolled in a staging program which was very widely advertised and cost a little less than the CSP 3 Day Course. You know that saying ?You get what you pay for? ? Well I graduated from that program still feeling that I needed more information ? in fact, a lot more, actually. ?
Hello Duncan and Christine, Just to let you know that attending the course as an alumni was interesting and informative. It was a real treat to sit back and listen (okay Duncan ? not always listening after conducting a few consultations and showcasings. Thank you for the opportunity to sit back and absorb more ?
I had heard great things about the organization by alumni as well as have had great discussions and assistance from Liz and Linda. They have always been there to answer any and all my questions, they are polite and super efficient. I enjoyed having Jackson West as the Trainer for our sessions. He was dynamic, ?
