Christine Rae Christine’s experience and expertise in home staging is highly respected. In 2001, after twenty years in executive business management and sales, Christine decided the time was right to pursue her passion for interior decorating. Training with pre-eminent interior designer, Lauri Ward, who has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Good Morning America, and Inside Edition, she went on to train with Barb Schwarz of Stagedhomes.com and held the position of Regional Director for that company for three years in Canada, North East United States and the UK. During her career she expanded and honed her skills by studying with JoAnne Lenart-Weary, the ‘One-day Decorating Queen’ and Co-Founder of the Society of Decorating Professionals, and with Ann Maurice,“TV House Doctor” and original staging guru, author of six books and host of four TV programs which millions of viewers watch worldwide. The CSP™ program was developed and released in September 2005, in response to demand for a staging training program with ”meat”. Having personally taught more than 1400 people how to start a staging business, Christine has quickly become known as an expert in the field and is one of the most certified trainers in North America. Within the first year of its existence, CSP certified 450 staging consultants across Canada and in August 2006 CSP™ launched its program in the U.S. Christine has co-authored an e-book titled Home Staging Business Guide and is currently working on another book to be published in 2007, which will be in a unique, thought provoking format to provide the public with staging information.
