Home Staging isn't just about putting furniture here and putting art there. For award winning stager and decorator Kristie Barnett, it's a psychological thing.

Barnett is known as The Decorologist, and she combines her experience in home decor and her graduate degrees in Psychology and Education to stage homes for sale and train others in the art of home decor.

Barnett has staged homes in the past that have sold in days at top dollar through a unique system of Psychological Staging that she created for her success.

"Buying and selling a home is a very emotionally-charged process," Barnett said. "And Psychological Staging capitalizes on the emotions and desires of the target audience."

Barnett was awarded Stager of the Year - North America 2013 and a Top 10 Stager and Top 10 Redesigner for 2015 by the Real Estate Staging Association, for which she also currently serves as the regional vice president.

She has authored two books about staging and has written over 1,000 articles on her blog and for local and national news outlets. Barnett also creates workshop videos to help homeowners learn how to decorate their homes and choose paint colors.

She's bringing her skills to Brentwood in March for a three-day course on what she has coined as Psychological Staging that will teach business forms and techniques, property staging and certification as an Expert Psychological Stager. The course is for those wanting to start a home staging business, current home stagers who want to advance their business or for real estate professionals who want to take their business to the next level.

The course has two days of informational classroom instruction, and on the third day a professional photographer will come in to take before and after pictures for participants portfolios. The course will also include Barnett's Psychological Staging Paint Color Toolkit, which is a RESA 2016 Innovative Product of the Year finalist.

After the course, participants will receive ongoing support through a private online group and will be listed on the Decorologist website as a Decorologist Approved Stager for online referrals.

The course will be held MArch 3-5 at FM Mortgage located at 10 Cadillac Drive, Suite 100, in Brentwood. The course fee is $1,799, but if you book with a friend or colleague it's $1,699 each. The number of students accepted is limited to provide an intimate and intensive learning experience, so early registration is required.
