We field questions daily from people considering a staging career but wondering which training to take.
“Why are there so many home staging courses?”
“What is the difference?”
“Why does CSP cost more than others?”
Nupur Sharma is Christine Rae’s guest on Stager Insights in this episode. Nupur shares how working as merchandiser in Dubai, to then immigrating to Canada and finding the world of staging leads her on a search for the right training – one that not only teaches how to do home staging, but also teaches you the business of staging. Well worth watching!
There is always a reason for everything.
What will you say when real estate agents and sellers tell you your price is too high? Do you know how to price correctly? Do you know why you need insurance and how much it is?
What about how to market to agents and talk to sellers? When I say CSP is the GPS for success, I mean it. One of my favorite phrases is you don’t know what you don’t know, and what you don’t know will sink you.
Join Christine Rae for this extended free workshop, where she will discuss roadblocks you may encounter when building a staging business. She will show you loads of before and after photos from CSP graduates, highlight the staging process, and, more importantly, how to make money doing what you love.
