Christine Rae, President of CSP International™ Business Training Academy, a Real Estate Staging Business Training company, is proud to announce that Charlene Storozuk, Principal at Dezigner Digz™ joins the CSP International™ faculty.

Well, I'm a little late adding my two cents on the RESA International Staging Conference, but I have an excuse since I just got home late Saturday night. My Sister-in-Law and a girlfriend joined me for a few more days of Vegas life after the Conference. Must say I'm "Vegased Out" now, but back to the real reason for my blog - the Staging Conference!

Charlene Storozuk is in the business of adding a "WOW factor" to a home. A home stager, color consultant and feng shui designer - now that's what I call a winning combination! Charlene has some really impressive qualifications, but instead of listing them here, I'd rather let her work speak for her - because, as they say, the proof is in the pudding. So take a look at the before and after transformations, and prepare to be WOWed!

RESA announces their Leadership Award recipients. Charlene Storozuk was presented with the award of North American Local Chapter President of the Year for 2007. For information on all of the awards presented, visit www.realestatestagingassociation.com.

The December 2008 roundtable meeting was an opportunity for home staging professionals across the province to gather together and brainstorm about the future of our industry. Discussions took place on how to standardize services and educate the public as to the benefits of home staging. Charlene was asked by the Real Estate Staging Association to moderate the event. It was a very informative day for everyone. Want to see who attended?
