Along with the gaining recognition of the value of real estate staging, is also an increase in the number of  training programs being offered. I have explored other courses and found CSP to be the most complete in every detail. The extensive 3 day  CSP program  includes many missing components of the "nuts and bolts" of growing a profitable business, it goes beyond where others have left off. The skills I learned from Christine Rae along with my CSP certification has dramatically increased my business. In
addition,  continuing ongoing support is there for me at all times. I highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about going into real estate staging, it is superior in every way. - Carole Julius, CSP

"I use a Stager for my listings because I know in this Buyer's market that my listings are going to shine over my competition! Agents know that they are going to find a spotlessly clean house,a decluttered  house and will have rooms that will define what they are. I did an Agent Open House last Wed. and  an agent came in and she couldn't stop saying WOW! She ran back to the office to tell her client and the house was sold on the weekend for 98% of the asking price! Now my client has most of her packing finished!"
- Luanne Hancey, REALTOR®

Why a Staged Property?

Home staging improves the condition of a house, helping secure equity and decreasing the time a property sits on the market. That means less stress for everyone.

A staged property makes for beautiful photos and virtual tours. Beautiful photos attract more buyers to showings; this means more opportunities for offers and increased opportunity to sell the listing on the first round of marketing.

In general a property staged by a CSP™ is prepared for market so it yells "BUY ME"

What makes a CSP™ the right choice?

All CSP™ consultants must pass their course with a 75% average. The CSP™ program is the first and only staging training course in the industry to award certification based on experience and testing.

Are you a homeowner looking to sell your home? Be sure your house sells for what it's worth! Stage you home before you place it on the market.

When you walk into somewhere new, a place you have never seen before, what do you notice?  Do you notice the colour of the walls or the arrangement of the furniture?  Most people decide whether or not they are comfortable in a home within a few seconds – as Malcolm Gladwell says a blink of an eye.”  That is why it is crucial the first impression of your property is a good and lasting one.  

This is where Certified Staging Professionals™ take on the very important role of presenting your home to appeal to all potential Buyers. CSP™’s work magic in a space to spark buyers’ interest, connecting them emotionally to the property.  This increases marketability, often resulting in higher offers and a speedier sale.
