This class has been developed by industry leader and pioneer, JoAnne Lenart-Weary who has been staging homes for over 25 years.

The course offers a unique opportunity to learn the basics of staging a home from a true industry leader and pioneer. Many people state that staging is not decorating but we must disagree.
