You hear stories all the time - people go to “professionals”
for a service and then find out too late that the “professional” is anything
but. How do you know who to trust?
When considering home staging, look for someone who is an
Accredited Staging ® Professional® – these are professionals who have studied
and learned the proven and powerful techniques of Staging® homes with two
primary goals: Sell faster and for a higher price.
Those who have accreditation have:
- · Successfully attended and graduated from the ASP® course
Accredited Staging Professionals understand and are
committed to the principals and practices of marketing properties as Staged
Homes. By their membership and participation in the International Home Staging
Association, IAHSP® ASPs®, these
professionals are held to professional ethical standards as they follow the
IAHSP® Home Staging Code of Ethics.
Along with the training and examinations, Accredited Staging®
Professionals® have a deep understanding of visual and organizational
presentation. They can spot what looks out of place or what needs to be updated
with the emotional distance needed when looking at what has been your home.
That child’s piece of art that you’ve always loved (and still do?) let’s put it
away until you move into your next home. That 1970’s green shag rug? It’s time
to get rid of it, better to replace with with an more updated look.
Just as you would for anyone coming into your house, when considering
having someone stage your home in preparation for its sale, make sure that
person has the credentials and expertise needed to get the job done.
