Hire a Staging professional

There is a lot of talk and references in the marketplace to a Staging professional or, sometimes, an Accredited Staging professional. But what does it mean? Who declares a person to be a Staging professional?

In reality, there is NO neutral and independent body which gives accreditations in the field (at least not yet). The concept of Staging originated in California over 20 years ago. Since then, several training programs for Stagers came into existence and some of them give an "Accreditation" to their graduates at the end of the training. But anyone who paid for the course gets to graduate....

The important criteria is the level of comfort and trust you establish with a Staging Consultant of your choice. You will decide whether the person you select is a Professional by asking lots of questions. Selling your house is a stressful event in your life and you need to feel at ease with the attitude and the working methods of the Staging professional. For example:

• does he/she understand your concerns, timeframe and budget?
• is he/she is answering your questions clearly and truthfully?
• is he/she willing to work with what you already have to provide creative solutions with minimal investment?
• study his/her Website to determine the profile and personality of the Staging professional
• what other projects has he/she worked on?
• ask to see pictures of Before and After and judge for yourself
• don't decide on "free evaluation" or the price alone - consider all the factors and trust your gut feeling

A Staging professional will help you to put the best assets forward on your property by providing Home Staging services which correspond to your needs, timeframe and budget, so you feel confident about selling your property at its best and for the most money you can get.
