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.” \nDarcelle Runciman. B.A\, B.Msc\, RTS\, Residential Transitions for Seniors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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. \nAnd 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.” \nRochelle M. Iserson\, ASP\, RESA\,\n“Staged Right!” by Rochelle\nResidential Transition Specialist \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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!” \nShelly Chatterelli RTS\nAnn Arbor\, Mi \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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.” \nSylvie Bigaouette CCSP\, RTS\, CLIPP\,  La Maison Staging & Design \n  \n“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.” \n~ Laura \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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.”\n~ Michelle Allen CCSP\, RTS\, RRPM\, CCC \n“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.\nRachel 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.” \n~ Pamela Merrill-Schwartz \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“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.” \n~ Corinne Janzen\, Certified Staging Professional®\, Fraser Valley Essential Staging \nI found Rachel’s presentation of the Residential Transition Specialist course to be truly impressive. She provided an abundance of valuable insights into the distinct challenges encountered when assisting seniors with the downsizing or rightsizing journey. Additionally\, I was grateful for the informative handouts and sample contracts she shared. As a result of this course\, I now possess a more comprehensive understanding of this specialized market\, recognizing the potential for stagers to expand our range of services. \nDeborah Matear CCSP\nOasisstaging.ca \n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
