Staging students travel from other countries to attend the CSP® intensive professional home staging course, with the intent of pioneering the service in their country.

The Most Comprehensive Home Staging Training Available

Although professional staging is a non-regulated industry, CSP International™ Academy from inception, led the way developing standards, professional ethics and procedures to mark a stager with a level of distinction and access to unparalleled resources to benefit their clients and build their businesses.

In response to growing concerns within the non-regulated industry of home staging, regarding the qualifications of stagers, Certified Women’s Business Enterprise, CSP International™ Academy added a whole new level of credibility for their graduates to leverage.

CEO, Christine Rae, said “we have always believed in best business practices, professional standards and education as crucial components for a strong foundation in a business startup situation. In an emerging industry where there is no official measure of credibility, we thought it best to provide something tangible and measurable for real estate agents and property sellers to base their hiring decisions on.”  Rae said, “Many competitors claim that no one needs certification for this work, which is true when no one cares – anything goes. The point is the end user (property seller/real estate investor/builder/real estate agent) shouldn’t have to guess or worry about the quality of work they receive.

One true measure of a stager’s skill is working in an occupied property, with furnishings they didn’t choose, the size and scale of items not perfect, often with irrational color schemes.  Using a proprietary process graduates can create magic – the results of which make for amazing photographs and visual presentation. According to the National Association of Realtors, 90% of people can’t visualize a house beyond what they see in front of them.  This is important when 97% of potential buyers start their search on the internet – browsing listing photos.

As of February 2018, all CSP® graduates can achieve their “Residential Staging Expert™” designation by completing three projects after graduation, illustrating complete understanding of the process, submitting photos and testimonials for review to CSP International™. This will be one more level of security a Real Estate Agent and property seller can use to ensure the highest likelihood of securing the most equity from the sale of a property. True certification from a credible, internationally accredited program, is as important for a stager as a real estate license is for an Agent.

Literally, Christine Rae wrote the book on professional staging. It’s called Home Staging For Dummies and has been lauded to be so thorough, it’s the official handbook of RESA, adopted as a textbook for college staging programs in Canada and USA.

CSP International™ currently teaches at several colleges in an ever-expanding network to make training as accessible as possible. (See below for specific colleges and universities.)

The CSP® training and certification program is also accredited by the Real Estate Staging Association®

A numbered, registered certification is awarded upon successful completion of the following standards:

• Attendance at all online virtual in classroom instruction,
• Full participation at the 1-day hands-on field experience,
• Successfully completing the three required proficiency examinations with 75%+ or higher grade
  (including practical assessment).

“Having your skills and abilities measured when it isn’t officially required, is a measure of a person’s integrity; a foundation for wanting to be the very best they can be, bringing amazing service to their client”, said Christine Rae. “You wouldn’t hire an unlicensed real estate agent so why trust your equity to a stager who isn’t certified?”
