Back to School has never been more fun and (rewarding.)

Learn home staging from The Staging & Design Studio, a 5-Star Rated, 24-year home staging boutique. In this one-on-one customized 30-hour course, pro stager and interior designer Karen Parziale, will teach you the art of home staging for occupied and vacant spaces, how to transform spaces, and style listings for a wow impact. She has trained realtors from Coldwell Banker to KW Realty.

Karen Parziale is one of the top stagers in the New York tri-state area and has staged more than 5,000 homes. This comprehensive course -- built around your schedule -- includes 20 hours of classroom instruction (via Zoom or personal meeting), staging assignments, plus on-site training. This is a very personalized course where you are the only student. With a myriad of engaging home staging assignments, you will receive valuable feedback and advice.

This course will teach you how to:
