My win is your gain! Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP) Course FREE to one lucky TEXAS REALTOR!

By
Home Stager with Home Star Staging

This month Home Star Staging won part of a contest called, "I Staged This!" co-hosted by Realty U and Andy Capelluto on the Stage it Forward group here on Active Rain.

It was a "before and after" photo contest. I entered some photos for the "vacant staging" category and won!

The contest not only served as a fun way to compete for professional home stagers around the country but also as a search for photos to be used in presentations as part of Realty U's continuing education courses.

Realtors all over the country will now see my work along with the other entrants. How exciting is that?

I couldn't be more thrilled to know that what I do as a professional home stager is being shared with even more Realtors across the country. That alone was prize enough for me!

The contest also made the blog of Active Rainer, Mel Alcaro of Realblogging.com another great real estate blog site.

I was honored and excited to learn that I not only won a $200 Visa Gift card but also a gift certificate valued at $300, to take or gift to any Realtor anywhere in the country the Certified Short-Sale Professional (CSP) Course offered by Realty U.

This is where YOU, a TEXAS REALTOR, comes in.   Texas flag

Realty U's CSP course

Since I am a Professional Home Stager, not a Realtor who could benefit from this designation, I would like to offer this $300 value Certified Short-Sale Professional course as a gift to ONE REALTOR IN TEXAS.

How can this be done fairly? Why a blog of course!

Here are the simple rules:

That's it!

So if you've wanted to take this course and earn this designation, here's a chance to do it for free and write a blog! I look forward to reading your entries!

Proudly serving, TEXAS REALTORS, Collin County and North Dallas, Sellers & Investors, Home Star Staging is here for you Texas!Home Star Staging logo

I'm pretty sure Steve either has the course or has the knowledge from the course under his belt.  The two short sale transactions that I participated in left a bad taste and I really wouldn't care if I never did a short sale again!

Yikes, maybe that's why no one is responding?

I have officially thrown my proverbial hat in the ring for the CSP training class competition with the following post: Why I Would Like to Attend the Certified Short Sale Specialist Training

In the past I have made it no secret that I was very displeased with REALTORS(R) who did short sales to earn a buck without the knowledge to wisely advise their sellers.  The following posts are proof of that:

short sale vs foreclosure: Are Short Sales Like Snake Oil? You Decide!
short sale vs foreclosure: Are Short Sales Like Snake Oil? You Decide! (Part II)

But at present, I have decided to take action and be the listing agent that does short sales in an ethical and informative manner to assist both the sellers and buyers in these situations.  Far too often in my experience these sales are handled in a less than professional manner and if I am to work in this arena, I want to be as knowledgeable as I can be to be able to assist both sides in a win-win fashion.  Please here by accept my entry in this competition.  Thanks!  Steve
