The biggest benefit of a clean, correctly priced and staged home - fewer days on the market! That means less money spent on utilities, mortgage payments, taxes, upkeep, repairs, lawn care, but most importantly less stress.

Staging expert Barb Schwartz, founder of StagedHomes.com, says staged homes sell 50 percent faster and for about 7 percent more than nonstaged properties.

Barb has been featured and written about in: The New York Times, Business Week Magazine, Southwest Airlines Magazine, The Home Magazine, New York Home Magazine, Realtor Magazine, US News and World Report, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, Money Magazine, and Smart Money Magazine, Cosmopolitan Magazine, and many more hundreds of magazines and newspaper articles.  Barb is also a very successful Realtor.
