Home Staging Testimonials
Real Estate Agent Testimonials
"Patty is amazing. Through her unique mix of creativity, sense of esthetics and color she was able to transform a fairly basic home into an inviting, warm, homey experience for potential buyers distracting from some of the less attractive features by using most of my client's own materials. The home received 6 offers within one week and sold for $25,000 or approximately 5% over asking price. My clients thought that the money spent on staging the home was very well worth it." — Daniela Dombrowski, John L. Scott |

Her strong attention to detail, commitment to quality, and ability to adapt her staging to the architecture of any home clearly sets her apart from her competitors. Working with Patty has enabled me to build my business and provide reliable quality to my clients. I strongly recommend Patty and her company, Set The Stage."

Compact Condo Sold in 4 Days! |
"When I chose to sell my rental unit, I was skeptical about hiring a stager. I decided to hire one as my home was empty and there is always a lot of positive statistics about staged homes. I ended up choosing Patty Bonnell and Set The Stage due to her professionalism and detail orientation. I felt very comfortable that I knew exactly what I would get from Patty compared to other stagers I made inquiries with. Patty exceeded my expectations and made a relatively small town home appear spacious and inviting. Even better, my home sold after 4 days on the market near asking price while I watched very similar homes around me sit on the market and drop their price. As I do not live in WA state, Patty was also very accommodating to my needs and constraints. — Rhett Baldwin |
Staging to Rent Testimonial
"Patty and Set The Stage did a beautiful job on our studio unit. She really listened to the look and feel we were hoping to achieve, and delivered an outstanding stage that matched our building’s aesthetic and exceeded our expectations. Once the staging was in place, we leased 80% of our open apartment homes in less than 45 days, a big improvement over our previous results. I highly recommend Patty and Set The Stage, and would happily use her again in the future."

Owner Occupied Staging Testimonial
"I highly recommend Patricia Bonnell as a stager. I was very impressed with her professionalism, her creativity and her dedication to meeting deadlines and working closely with my special needs.
I was very impressed with her creativity and her ability to solve unique design requirements. In my case that involved working with our existing furniture and augmenting it with selected pieces.
When I first saw our home after she was finished I was really impressed; it was like a makeover show on TV. It was fantastic.

She was very focused on making sure we met the deadlines for listing our home and picking up her items after our house sold in order to meet our move-out dates. We sold our house in two days! She went out of her way to make sure that every thing worked like clockwork even when obstacles were encountered.
The bottom line is that she very, very good at was she does, takes pride in her craft and goes out of her way to make her customers happy. This is always a winning formula for running a great business. "

"One Hour Stage" Consultation Testimonials

"Ken and I thought you'd be interested in how your staging advice helped us prepare our condo for sale. We followed your directions to the letter with just a few exceptions and are simply delighted with the results. Our unit went to market on Tuesday; one realtor and client have come through twice, and we will be getting an offer this weekend. We loved your money-saving tips and advice on where to cost-effectively purchase a few finishing touches. Thanks so much!" — Ken and Mimi Allender, Kirkland |
| Kirkland Condo after Staging Consultation |
"We highly recommend Patty Bonnell with Set The Stage. We had a one-hour consultation with Patty before putting our condo for sale in a tough market in 2009.
She went thru the entire condo and gave effective, easy to follow suggestions for each room. We executed her plan, which helped the condo show better than the competitors. The staging tips helped us be able to sell our condo within 2 months without having to reduce our price."
- Nina Ariani, Issaquah, WA
"Staged in a Day" Testimonial
“Today’s market is tough, and it takes creative thinking to get the job done. Set The Stage did an incredible job on my listing.
Patty’s eye for detail and knack for suggesting low-ticket items with high end impact really made the difference. For a minimal consultation fee, she mapped out a complete staging plan for a 4 bedroom house, including replacing 2 key lighting fixtures, removing dated paneling and painting one wall. She returned for her “Staged In a Day” program and used 90% of the homeowners furnishings, plus a few items from her inventory, to transform every space.
My client was overjoyed with the results, and used the word “genius” to describe Patty’s impact on her home!
Smart realtors know a good deal, and Set The Stage is a company you can trust to provide an excellent return on your investment. If you’ve got a tired listing (or three) that needs an injection of vitality and style, call Patty today!”
— Leslie Lucas, Coldwell Banker Bain
