How $150 Can Sell Your Listing!
 
Staging an occupied home is no longer a luxury - it's a requirement. 
 
How to do it affordably?
Spend $150. 
 
Hire Set The Stage for our "One Hour Stage."  We'll deliver a consultation that helps sellers clearly see what they need to do to properly market their home.  They get a complete plan, and a set of to-do's.   
 
More importantly - they're on board.
 
After that, POLISH IT UP.
 
Sellers pay only $750, and we come back to stage and style the home from top to bottom.  A killer deal that hugely enhances the chance of a quick sale with strong offers.
 
This program is SO EFFECTIVE that many agents won't bring on a listing without it.

TESTIMONIAL

 "Patty did a great job staging my home.  She understood the importance of the architecture, and balanced her staging effort to enhance but not overwhelm the rooms. 
 
Despite a somewhat limited budget, she worked wonders!  I recommend Patty and Set The Stage wholeheartedly."
 
Leah Lozier, Homeowner
  
Don't Miss It
 
March's Builder/Architect Magazine is featuring "Women In Construction."  They are also publishing my article called. "It's A Woman's World Out There." This article contains interesting stats on real estate agents, demographics and other useful information  (guys - this is great reading for you, too!). 
Look for the March Issue of Builder/Architect magazine soon!
  
Oh, and By the Way....
I took a tip from a couple of real estate agents, and attended the recent Brian Buffini "Turning Point" Seminar.  True, I'm not an agent, but I work in real estate and I thought it couldn't hurt.  I'm really happy I invested two days to attend this worthwhile program. 
 
Brian promised two things:  Hope and a Plan.  And he delivered.
I like his style, and his no-nonsense approach to hard work and referral-based business.
 
If you're curious abous this seminar, drop me a line and I'll be happy to talk with you.  pabonnell@comcast.net.
 
If you've attended a Buffini seminar, let's talk!  I'd love to add you to my "A+ Client List!"    206.910.9314.
 
Oh, and by the way...I'm never too busy for your referrals!
  
A Note From Patty
As you plan for a successful 2010, I hope you'll contact me to set up a meeting.  I'll listen to you, share my portfolio and learn about how you work best. 
 
You'll then have a qualified, certified and highly skilled stager in your arsenal.   A great way to start the new year.
 
Whether you're an agent, a builder, or a home seller, my business is to help YOU succeed.  It's satisfying work, and I'm good at it.
 
I'd love to work with you.
