Certified Staging Professionals (CSP^TM) course comes to Indianapolis, Indiana

Linda Barnett, Founder of Home Matters Home Staging of Indianapolis, Indiana announces that on Nov. 17-19th, 2009, the long awaited and highly respected CSPTM course, for Real Estate Staging will be taught in Indianapolis.

PRLog (Press Release) - Oct 22, 2009 - CSP^TM certified staging courses are cutting edge and recognized by leaders in the field of the home staging training industry. The Certified Staging Professional Organization offers a variety of specialized courses.  The CSP^TM Staging Course is a 30 hour course which provides the foundation for those wanting to start a career or own a business in real estate property staging. The proven CSP^TM process is a blend of interior redesign techniques, along with business, marketing and communication skills, to effectively market a house for sale. Owning a business involves so much more than talent; like pricing, invoicing, communications and vital marketing components.  The program includes a one year membership in the CSP Alumni Association, which provides the support and resources crucial to building a profitable, home staging business. Barnett, founder of one of Indiana's largest, most successful and fastest growing Home Staging, Training and Rental companies, recently became a certified instructor for both the 3 day CSP^TM Stagers course and the CSP^TM Elite Real Estate agents' course.  

"This first November 17th class will be an exciting event for students."  Barnett says, "Christine Rae, CSP Founder and Author of "Home Staging for Dummies" along with  Melissa Marro, owner, First Impressions Staging & Redesign and CSP^TM, Director of North American Operations will both be here in Indianapolis and along with myself will instruct parts of the 3 day course".  "If you come to this session I can probably even get Christine to autograph your very own copy the Home Staging for Dummies book" Barnett noted.

Barnett-A Staging professional, interior decorator, former realtor and Certified Home Staging Trainer-founded Home Matters in 2004, and has since worked with more than 850 homeowners, realtors, builders and investors throughout the Indianapolis metropolitan area, helping them sell homes for an average 98% of the list price and in an average of 48 days on the market after staging. Barnett and Home Matters have been featured in numerous media, including The Indianapolis Star, Indianapolis House & Home Magazine, Indianapolis Business Journal, REAL ESTATE Lifestyle Magazine, FOX 59 News, and WISH-TV/Angies List segments.
