A Message From The Creator of Home Staging, Barb Schwarz...

Wow! What a wonderful Symposium we experienced this year 2008! Attendees heard the ‘Best of the Best’ ideas in the Home Staging and Real Estate Industries at our ASP — IAHSP Symposium!
Thank you to all who attended and participated! You are the leaders of our Home Staging Industry. I look at you with awe, respect, admiration, and thanksgiving for you our ASP’s and ASPMs. You are part of my living dream that first began over 36 years ago in Bellevue, WA. You have made the time and dollar investment in your business and in your dreams to be there with me and all of us as a part of StagedHomes.com and our IAHSP Association! I congratulate you for making and keeping your commitment to come.
This was and will continue to be our ‘Educational Event’ of our year as ASPs and ASPMs each and every year. I believe now and into the future that to keep up with the growth of our industry and to move ahead in your business that this will be a requirement you will set for yourself and love to keep by attending each year! Here we will learn together, grow together, and unite together in the true spirit of service of others through Home Staging. Together we are changing the way Homes are sold and the way that Real Estate is conducted around the world.
I remember the day that I choose the name for the association that I hoped would develop and grow as it has as an ‘International Association.’ Therefore, I ask you to ‘Think Globally and Act Locally’ as this is the way we will contribute to our communities and the world indeed through our service of Home Staging.
I believe in you and I believe in our future. We have built so many great things together and yet in a way we are just beginning and our ‘best is yet to come!’ Our future is very bright, very bright indeed and as we continue to build and grow for the good of all concerned you are such an important part of that as such an important part of our ASP Family. I thank you for being here and for being in my life! I thank you for your dedication to the positive, caring, sharing world of Home Staging through StagedHomes.com and our International Association of Home Staging Professionals, and the IAHSP Foundation Inc.
Attendees heard me in the halls and everywhere at this Symposium with my arms held up in the air, loving it as I say the truth: ‘I love this business!’ and I know you do too! We are so blessed to be able to do such creative wonderful work as ASPs and ASPMs everyday!
What a wonderful experience!
I treasure each moment here as these were special moments indeed with special memories to treasure for years to come.
Happy Staging and Happy Living too through our World of Home Staging as ASPs and ASPMs!
