There are many people who call themselves stagers, or offer staging services, however, I am an Accredited Staging Professional® (ASP)and I am very proud to have received my training through Barbara Schwartz.
In 1972 Barb Schwarz entered the world of residential real estate as an agent in Bellevue, WA. Prior to real estate she had owned her own interior design business. Barb immediately recognized the challenge that existed for all agents of how to help Sellers prepare their homes for sale without upsetting or offending the owner. Barb started educating her sellers on how to set the scene and how to set the Stage® to get their properties sold for top dollar. Barb Schwarz coined the phrase "Staging® the home for sale." This was truly the first time the word Staging® had been used in the real estate industry and at that time Barb had to explain the meaning of the word over and over to both agents and sellers everywhere.
Now, after teaching over 500,000 agents and decorators about Staging® all over the United States from 1985 to present time, Barb's term is accepted and understood nationwide and homes that are Staged® have an immediate advantage in any market.
I am a Certified Rearrangement/Design Specialist (CRS) through Barbara Jennings. Barbara Jennings is the West Coast pioneer in the concept of one-day decorating or redesign, having begun in 1986 in Southern California.
