Taking an idea to new heights or diving into the depths of un-tread territory within a relatively new industry has never been easy for entrepreneurs and it is with this recognition that the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) recognized a few individuals within the home staging industry, for their outstanding dedication and innovation within 2007.

Christine Rae was nominated for her introduction of new ideas and implemented methods of transformation to the staging industry as a whole. These changes included the introduction of programs such as;
