Thursday, May 25, 2023 – 8:30 – 9:30 PM EDT
42% of buyer agents said the main bedroom was one of the top 3 crucial rooms in a house.
Complimentary Presentation by Christine Rae on Thursday, May 25th, 2023
As a society, studies have shown we are generally sleep-deprived, wearing busy schedules like badges of honor! With everyone more stressed than ever, a peaceful retreat is vital for recharging the batteries at the end of the day.
42% of buyer agents said the main bedroom was one of the top three crucial rooms in a house.
• Do you struggle to get bedrooms, right?
• Are you unknowingly shortchanging results and your business reputation by not doing enough? Principal bedrooms are often very personal in occupied homes and feel empty and lifeless in vacant properties. Creating an oasis of calm and quiet where the future buyer can close off the day’s worries takes a little more effort, but it is worth it.
Join Christine Rae for this free training opportunity and learn how to create the perfect bedroom retreat following some basic guidelines.
Participants will learn:

Why it is essential to your work
Seven steps to perfect bedrooms
Feng Shui elements needed for restful nights
Expand your business with a unique approach

Testimonials:

“Thank you Rachel and CSP for such a fantastic course! I learned about your course first from your video interview with Christine and was impressed…the course was exactly what I hoped for and more! Rachel was such a wonderful instructor, giving us the right amount of material each week to learn and digest the many aspects of residential transition. The course was extremely well laid out and the bonuses were excellent help to get us on our way. I have already used it in my own family and business and want to thank Rachel for helping make that reality possible. What a great course and such a need for more people in this industry. Highly recommend Rachel and her training. Thanks so much.”
Darcelle Runciman. B.A, B.Msc, RTS, Residential Transitions for Seniors

“As the population is living longer and staying more active – they’re also moving on to their preferred type of living situation. And even though Seniors know what they want for their next step, they don’t often know how to get there! They need assistance with planning for right-sizing or downsizing, as well as with the actual packing and moving process.
And that’s where we come in – The valuable CSP Transition Specialist course has taught me to better understand the needs of the older generation, while learning how to guide them as they start a new chapter in their lives. I now feel prepared to market myself as a Residential Transition Specialist, qualified to help Seniors downsize, right-size or relocate thanks to the wonderful CSP course. I look forward to adding this important new dimension to my thriving staging business. Thank you.”
Rochelle M. Iserson, ASP, RESA,
“Staged Right!” by Rochelle
Residential Transition Specialist

“The Residential Transition Specialist training exceeded my expectations. You know the saying ‘You don’t know what you don’t know’, well, wow, I had no idea how much I didn’t know about helping the senior population. Rachel was thorough and shared her immense experience with ease, always leaving enough time for questions and class participation. Her passion for making sure we had the education, materials and understanding we needed to start helping clients right away was evident. I now feel so much more equipped and confident in my ability to help seniors age in place/right-size in a way that feels truly meaningful. Thank you Christine and Rachel!”
Shelly Chatterelli RTS
Ann Arbor, Mi

“I highly recommended the “Residential Transition Specialist” course with Rachel Borrelli & Christine Rae. The content is informative, well constructed and valuable. I was able to secure a client after the second week! The Lifestyle Assessment positioned me as an Experienced Professional. ‘The Process’ I learned in class was easy to follow and implement. Well worth the time and investment.”
Sylvie Bigaouette CCSP, RTS, CLIPP, La Maison Staging & Design

“I recently completed the Residential Transition Specialist course to establish a niche for my business that is underserved in my area. I’m a first year CSP graduate currently networking with real estate agents to establish a core business in my area. The properties that benefit the most from the CSP consultation/showcasing process are 20+ year-old custom-built houses often owned by couples downsizing. In addition, there are many Senior Living Communities opening in the area for all levels from 55+ Active Communities with single level houses to Luxury Senior Independent Living complexes that transition to memory care. The course provided a lot of information on the needs of this demographic for all scenarios from aging in place to relocating to a smaller residence, so you are prepared to work with any client. It also stressed the importance of building a team and included interviews with those team members to demonstrate the total process to become a full-service project manager. There were many great tips provided for maximizing space in the new location that will be helpful. By specializing in this niche, you can provide multiple services throughout the process from the consultation/staging to sell the property to planning layouts, decorating the new space and many services in between to increases the average revenue per client. With the growing competition of stagers in real estate, I highly recommend this course to specialize in a segment that will continue to grow for years to come to differentiate and grow your business.”
~ Laura

“The Residential Transitional Specialist program is one which is very informative and thorough in identifying the unique and challenging needs our clients may present. This designation is like no other in that you get to work with the clients during possibly one of the most stressful and challenging times of their lives while providing a strong, professional, and educated portfolio with which to be supportive and efficient in helping them deal with these challenges.”
~ Michelle Allen CCSP, RTS, RRPM, CCC
“Having recently completed the Residential Transition course, I think it can be a very valuable course to take whether you do Home Staging, Downsizing Services, or Relocation Services for people who are downsizing. Not just as an additional service to add to one’s business plan, but also serving as a different reference point when working in diverse situations with a side range of people.
Rachel provides excellent information, gained through personal experience, on how to approach people who are encountering those stressful situations; and the service, as well as assistance, one can provIde for them. Ironically, it also gave me some valuable tips on how to ‘downsize’ the years to accumulated clutter and obsolete possessions in my own home.”
~ Pamela Merrill-Schwartz

“I had the pleasure of attending the Residential Transition Specialist program in the Spring of 2020 with Rachel Borrelli. I had no idea what I was in for! The course is jam packed with information on not just how to add a transition specialty to your staging business but how to do it with compassion and understanding of what kinds of emotional adjustments the client would be going through as well as their physical needs. It is extremely thorough, well laid out, and easy to follow and understand. Later on the course was expanded to be provided over three days and supplemented with a virtual hands on practicum where participants learned to actually plan out several rooms to accommodate the changes a client might face while going through a transition, whether downsizing or right sizing. Rachel teaches the extensive and detailed course in a calm and empathetic manner which makes for a perfect pairing. I would highly recommend the Residential Transition Specialist course for any stager to compliment their business and prepare for what is already a highly sought after skill in this industry.”
~ Corinne Janzen, Certified Staging Professional®, Fraser Valley Essential Staging

2023-04-27 20:30 - 21:30
84% of real estate agents say they have buyers refuse to look at homes based on the outside appearance.
Complimentary Presentation by Christine Rae, Thursday, April 27th at 8:30 – 9:30 pm EDT
Curb appeal is the most undervalued aspect of preparing a property for sale. Every listing photo is an image of the front of the house, yet 84% of real estate agents say they have buyers refuse to look at homes based on their outside appearance.

Join Christine Rae for this free 1-hour complimentary training session as you discuss the importance of curb appeal and how to create lasting first impressions with Christine’s easy-to-implement tips and techniques. Participants will learn:

What the real message of curb appeal is
How demographics impact curb appeal
Five curb appeal essentials for selling
Trends and what buyers want
Ideas to turn even average homes into the envy of the neighbourhood

Help your seller’s property have more buyer appeal with these compelling curb appeal recommendations.

Change Your Perspective on How You Look At Color

Are You Colorphobic?
Maybe you have always wanted to know more about the selection of color as it relates to the interior and exterior of a home or office. Maybe you’re really good with color but need confirmation or just need to bolster your knowledge. Yes to any of these means you have come to the right place.

Translate your clients’ or your own personal style into a cohesive, welcoming space with a color scheme perfectly customized to the furnishings.
Sharpen your design and color sensibility for the other pieces that will live in the space.
And never make a color mistake again. Learn:

how to create color flow from one room to the next

Testimonials / Reviews

“Just to let you know I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions. Even though I missed one of the live classes, I learned so much listening to the recorded version. I like the timely manner in which you presented the information and even though I was not in a room with you, it felt like I was. You made sure everyone understood what you were saying. I am really excited to build on the knowledge you have given me. I look forward to meeting you sometime and also to having more sessions with you. It was a pleasure getting to know you. Have a great evening.
” ~ Pamela Mavour-Allen

“Wow, what an amazing course you provided. Who knew there was so much to learn in this area of design? Thank you for your time and insights. I am forever grateful for the amount of detail, tips, and marketing savvy that you provided. I feel very confident that I can now eliminate all phobias with my soon to be clients. Thank you again.
” ~ Laurie Slater

“Well I have to tell you this has been one of the most wonderful educational endeavors I have ever undertaken. Again, this was really fabulous Jan and the time just flew. But it was such “value added” I didn’t notice! Thanks so much. I’m sort of looking forward to the exam…” ~ Just fabulous!
Jill Ackerman

“I have to tell you how much I enjoyed this course. I was a bit hesitant to spend the money for a six hour course, but it is the best money I’ve spent in a long time. I love to decorate but I’ve always had a hard time with color. It all makes more sense to me now. The trouble now, is that I realize most of my rooms are a mixture of cool and warm. I’ve already been working on fixing the color scheme in the living room, and I love the changes I’ve made.” ~ Barb Raven, CCSP, CCC

“Wohooo, thank you Jan. I had to laugh the last two days when walking into two different homes and it was obvious that cold and warm was mixed in the same space. It was crystal clear why and no more question mark why it just does not feel great. Thank you for shedding light on colour and the science behind it. I really enjoyed your class and I am going to use it every day, even in my own home to make the right colour decisions and look fab doing it.”
“After two colour consultations in the past week with the Colour box and your class under my belt, I have to say choosing colours with clients has never been such a joy! The clients are happy, I feel confident about the colours and the box and delivery of the samples is amazing! Thank you for pointing me in this direction and giving me the tools to work with. It makes my job an easy one to do! and I feel now wonderful about promoting that (newish) part of my business.” ~ Thanks, Yvonne

“Thanks for the quick reply and for giving feedback on my questions. It was very interesting to learn the science behind colour. I’m a quilter and am picky with my fabric combinations…but now have understanding as to why certain colour combinations and tones work or don’t work together.” ~ Thanks again,
Tess Daglish

“I have always had a love of color, but didn’t know how to use it effectively. I have often been overwhelmed when going to the paint store not knowing where to start and disappointed when the colors I chose didn’t work and I didn’t know why! I was soooo excited to learn there is a science to color that tells you which colors work together and why! What a relief! You did a great job of explaining how to use color in a selling application and in dwelling using both science and inspiration pieces. The webinar was very “hands on,” we looked at a ton of examples to see what different color schemes looked like and how to use the fan deck to create this look. I really liked how you walked us through the business side of color consulting and how you do Color Consultations with your clients. This course has given me so much confidence and is such a great addition to my staging business! I highly recommend this course to anyone in staging, redesign or someone who simply loves color!” ~ Thanks, Carlie Bloomer

Ten Steps To Staging Business Success
2023-03-30 20:00 - 22:00
Many home stagers begin their business on a wing and prayer or without specific guidance. They think making a business from scratch will be easy because they have talent. The truth is, starting your own staging business can be scary. Struggling to make it work can be frustrating and stressful, especially if you don’t know how to secure business or price correctly.
Being your own boss is exciting, but it is not fun when things don’t go to plan. I started my staging business in 2001 when there wasn’t an industry, no books or TV shows about it; now, with twenty-three years of valuable staging business & training experience, plus my background in sales, finance, management, human relations, and business coaching, I know how to achieve Staging business success, and I can teach you. There is always something to learn, whether you are a new or struggling stager.
Find out how to start your business on a solid foundation. Make sure you price for profit and find out crucial things you can do for success.
Join me, Christine Rae, as we discuss ten power steps to ensure your business thrives and discover how to avoid all the little things that hold most stagers back.
Participants will learn:
• Vital success factors most stagers forget
• Pricing for profit
• The secret to overcoming agent and seller objections
• How CSP International supports and provides tools for your business
• Answers to the most frequently asked questions
