barb schwarz: As Professional Stagers we must put the needs of the Sellers first. - 07/07/10 10:24 PM
In this economy more & more, as professional Home Stagers we must put the financial needs of the sellers first. Yes, we look good when we turn an ugly duckling into a beauty contest winner - SOLD! We achieve this by practicing Home Staging in the truest sense: Home Staging is preparing a home for sale so it sells faster and for more money, all the while keeping the sellers time frame & budget in mind. Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging Most of my recent projects have been somewhere in between vacant & occupied Staging. Let me explain. Two have

barb schwarz: Paint that Purple Wall, Will Ya? - 05/29/09 06:32 AM
"The purple wall needs to be painted!", Jan Whitlow, ASPM, IAHSP. Although strong colors, purple even pink may be absolutely fine for living and your personalized decor' it is not right for selling. "How we live on our Homes and how we Sell them are two different things.", according to Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging®. During a sale a Home becomes a House and hence a commodity for sale - it has to be packaged properly and then marketed. By neutralizing colors throughout the home it is proven you get more showings, more interest & more offers!!! One of the worse pitfalls in

barb schwarz: Are you a Piler or a Filer? - 10/31/08 02:21 PM
In my working life there is no worse task than filing. That dreaded filing! On a good day/week/month I avoid it like the plague! Today I have to face the mess I call my desk - OMG - it looks like this --- please support me in my clean up efforts - I am holding each of you accountable. I started the morning with this diaster foremost on my mind yet I haven't turned to tackle it (it's now after 3PM & I want to take a nap)! It's just as easy to stay on the computer and not look to my left! LOL

barb schwarz: E Staging ... What do you think? - 07/30/08 08:13 AM
I recently returned from the International Association of Home Staging Professionals Convention in Bellevue, Washington. I spent time with my ASP family, Learned a lot, Taught a Table Top Discussion, and spent time with Barb Schwarz, The Creator of Home Staging®. At the convention we discussed Home Staging Consultations done on the Internet! What a teriffic concept. I purchased software that can provide to sellers a 3D image of the Staged Setting anywhere in the world. WHAT DO YOU REALTORS THINK? I know - Staging helps Sell houses Minimizes the flaws and maximizes the good in a property Reduces the time on the market
