Patty recently earned her ASP® (Accredited Staging Professional) Real Estate Agent designation.  ASP is the only nationally recognized designation for Home Staging.  She received her designation and training from the professionals at Stagedhomes.com.

Home Staging started in Bellevue, WA in 1972.  Barb Schwarz was a Realtor who had challenges getting her clients to make necessary changes to sell their homes.  One day, a light bulb went on in her head and she uttered the words "Stage your house" with one of her clients ... and an entire industry was born.  As a Realtor, Barb understood that Staging is part of the Real Estate industry ... not the decorating industry!  This is a key distinction that sets ASPs apart from design facets that state they also Stage.

Accredited ASP Stagers and ASP Real Estate Agents are true Professionals trained under strict guidelines using proven Staging techniques developed for over 30 years. When you bring your home on the market and prepare your house for sale always hire an ASP because they are the true leaders in the Home Staging and Real Estate Industries.

Based on national averages, ASP Staged homes sell for more money than comparable non-Staged homes and/or in less time*.  Staging invites multiple buyer interest and generates offers at times even above the asking price.  Always insist on an Accredited Staging Professional when Staging your home.
