Let's get clear about this. There is debate in staging circles among stagers and designers, so what is the consumer to think?

The consumer is left to decide what to choose from available criteria. Here is some clarification.

Regulated staging certification doesn't exist. Program creators make up their own 'certifications' and standards. Staging programs consist of 2 - 10 days training, available to anyone - novices and designers alike.

Designers study 2 - 5 years in trade schools, colleges and university programs.

Decorators are often self-taught, with career based experience in a wide variety of interior fields.

So what does the home seller look for?  

Presentation for selling is the key.

The most essential requirement is the knowledge of property presentation for effective, efficient and potentially profitable Real Estate sale.

Home Staging is not to be a reflection of the stagers, designers, or decorators style. The seller's and realtor's taste are not considered either. Proper presentation endeavours to appeal to the potential BUYER  in the most appealing way possible. PERIOD. 

A good way to get a feel for professional abilities is to call for information, then book a consultation. The cost is  minimal and you may then decide from the report if this person will do the necessary job.
