Home Staging Business Course

Luanne Hancey, Home Staging Consultant "I use a Stager for my listings because I know in this Buyer's market that my listings are going to shine over my competition! Agents know that they are going to find a spotlessly clean house,a decluttered house and will have rooms that will define what they are. I did an Agent Open House last Wed. and an agent came in and she couldn't stop saying WOW! She ran back to the office to tell her client and the house was sold on the weekend for 98% of the asking price! Now my client has most of her packing finished!"

Why a Staged Property?

Home staging improves the condition of a house, helping secure equity and decreasing the time a property sits on the market. That means less stress for everyone.

A staged property makes for beautiful photos and virtual tours. Beautiful photos attract more buyers to showings; this means more opportunities for offers and increased opportunity to sell the listing on the first round of marketing.

In general a property staged by a CSP™ is prepared for market so it yells "BUY ME"

What makes a CSP™ the right choice?

All CSP™ consultants must pass their course with a 75% average. The CSP™ program is the first and only staging training course in the industry to award certification based on experience and testing. They sign a code of conduct and have access to the leading staging information through their memberships.

About the Australian Certified Staging Professionals

home staging experts in Australia Janne Petrie, Director of Australian Certified Staging Professionals is the exclusive licensee of the Certified Staging Professionals™ staging training course in Australia.

Janne is a qualified colour consultant and interior decorator and has been working as the Colour Designers for several years. Having staged several homes in the past she decided there was more to it than just decorating and wanted to learn more.

Janne travelled to Toronto, Canada to attend the CSP course with Christine Rae. She was so impressed by the course and what she learnt that she wanted to bring this exceptional course to Australia.

"The concept of home staging is relatively new in Australia and there was no credible training available here. When I researched and found the CSP course and saw what it involved we decided to take the plunge and go overseas and train. It was the best thing I could have done. I learned so much in such a short time that is was easy to set up my own staging business here. I want to share this with others who want to create a great business quickly and with support." Janne Petrie.

Janne is now a certified trainer of the CSP training program and will be offering CSP classes in most major cities in Australia.
