In 2019, 126,305 properties were sold in Virginia. In January of 2020 alone, there were 28,539 properties on the market, of which 6718 sold. That is a lot of inventory to work with. North Arlington has the fourth largest luxury housing market with four cities have list to sale ratios of over 100%. And did you know, the average house sale price in Washington, DC was $550K in January 2020.
Just four (4) staging projects per month can realize $100,000 in sales for the year. Do you know though? Securing business is the BIGGEST challenge for stagers.

Meet Yolanda Tillman, CSP®
CSP Goodwill Ambassador & Mentor
When you first meet Yolanda you can’t help but think “all is well with the world”; she is the most caring of people, sincere, honorable and trustworthy. When I met her she was decorating part time while working full time for the US Federal Government in a trusted position. She had been thinking of taking the CSP class for several years, during which she had sent me innumerable little notes. She was so impressed with the CSP® training & certification program that she decided to retire early and pursue the business. She used to email me almost daily “I am off to the library to study”. She genuinely offered support and a helping hand to alumni and myself that after a year it seemed the most natural thing to do to officially call her a Goodwill Ambassador. Since then she has welcomed, supported and nurtured so many graduates; all appreciating the gentle encouragement people often need when making a big change in life. She has a busy life looking after her father, a stray cat who came by one day, church, choir, her role with RESA, CSP & the gym but always has a helping hand for you. The Goodwill Ambassador is there to answer and support you, the Mentor role is for job shadowing opportunities and if you choose, Christine Rae is also your business coach.
“Being part of such a wonderful training academy, well let’s just say there is none out there that can come close to the in-class training, live staging day, support, and professional development offered at CSP International Staging Business Training Academy. Christine Rae works hard for us to ensure we have the best staging training, tools and support in the industry.”

- Do you know: Real Estate Agents invest approximately $10,000 – $20,000 to start their businesses. Many franchises charge anywhere from $5,000 to hundreds of thousands of dollars for business start-ups; the CSP® training & certification investment is less than you will earn on one/two jobs. The CSP tuition fee is an investment that pays you back quickly and with little start-up expense. You keep the money you earn; no on-going commitments of royalties or franchisee fees.
- A start-up website often costs at least $800 and that doesn’t include search engine optimizing marketing fees. As a CSP graduate, you have a solid beginning, with a business profile that can be as detailed as you want (your profile appears on our Find A Stager page). Use this while building your own website and beyond. .
