About Concepts by CoCo:
I am an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP) trained by Barb Schwarz herself in the unique art of "staging" a home for sale. I enjoy every aspect of staging - from moving heavy furniture up 3 flights of stairs in the rain - to placing the last little finishing touch into a home that will tell everyone that this home was staged by Concepts by Coco.

Areas of Expertise
My usual staging includes what we call a full stage. This means staging one or more rooms with complete furniture and accessories to make it seem lived-in - but NOT cluttered! The placement of the furniture will ensure that the prospective buyers will get a sense of how to use the room to it's fullest advantage. The rooms will appear light and airy and comfortable. A place where the buyer would want to sit down and read a book (well placed by me, of course).

Another alternative is "vignette" staging. More applicable in smaller rooms or rooms with awkward spaces or traffic patterns. This we accomplish by using limited furnishings - just giving the illusion of what the space could be.
I can also provide a written report to a homeowner stating exactly what should be done to the home from painting to planting to clutter, before being listed on the market. The homeowners would then complete the work themselves and when finished I would come in for final touches if needed.
What Concepts by CoCo's clients have to say:
I sold a condo recently that was staged by Concepts by CoCo. My client had two choices - one with a fabulous view that was vacant and one that didn't have near the view but was staged beautifully. My client bought the one that was staged. From that day on CoCo has been "my girl". She has staged numerous homes for me since. The last one was staged and sold less than 30 days later. I would recommend Concepts by CoCo to everyone!
Lisa Gutierrez, McCormick Pier Realty, LLC
CoCo - thanks again so much for staging my home. I am so thrilled to have it sold! You basically had it sold for me the first week it was staged, and I had tons of showings too! I anticipate you will get some business from staging my home. It was fun for me...sounds like you enjoyed doing it as well You did such a wonderful job---I had to take pictures of it myself so I could have some for ME! The realtor, Joanne, was thrilled with all the showings too, when other realtors were frustrated because their houses had "0" to very few showings!!!.
Julie Smith, homeowner
CoCo: Thank you so much for the staging you did in my home. I can now find anything I need because of the organizing you did for me. The house looks so wonderful and neat and now it is easier for me to keep things put in their place. I am telling all my friends about your services.
I understand that you are now an Accredited Staging Professional. This is wonderful. As a realtor I inderstand how much quicker a house that has been staged will sell. It will also sell for a higher price as a staged home. I wish you all the luck in your new career and will recommend you to all my clients.
Maxine Hill, Hill and Hill Realty, Santa Fe, NM
CoCo: This is just a note to thank you for the work you did at my mother's home in Portland. Your attention to the details was perfect and the painting you did was lovely. I am hoping to have you stage for me the next time I sell one of my properties.
