I met Patricia back in April when I inquired about staging my mom's townhome. I already knew enough about staging to know that it would be a good investment; that the cost would more than pay for itself by a likely increased sales price and less days on the market, so I didn't need to be sold on whether to stage or not. I just needed to find someone that I felt comfortable with and would be able to provide the end result I wanted.
By the end of that first 1 hour meeting with Patricia at my moms townhome, I knew I didn't need to meet anyone else (which is unlike me, so this tells you how confident I felt about her from the start). We discussed her vision on how she would like to stage the home and yard, and what she would like me to do to prep the home. Although I knew the townhome would need to be painted and the carpet replaced, she had also suggested a handful of things to replace that would not be too costly but would bring it up to date. This was mainly new faucets and replacement of a couple of ceiling fans. She also suggested some things to remove.
What I was most grateful for was that she suggested for me not only the paint color but also, per my request, the fans, faucets and carpeting to purchase. (This was done by back and forth texts over the next several weeks), Every change/purchase she suggested looked great. Near the end of the prep work I met with several real estate agents. They were very pleased by how the townhome looked; the paint color, carpeting, new fixtures and fans, and windows sparkling and the light streaming in.
At about this same time my sister decided to purchase the townhome from my mom, so we obviously did not have it staged. I have no doubt it would have looked amazing.
When I decide to sell my home the first person I will contact will be Patricia.
I appreciated her patience with all my questions (and I had a lot of them); she was so available. I truly think she looks at the relationship with her client as a partnership. I think she appreciated that ultimately I trusted her vision and knew she had my best interest and the end result in mind. And I felt her price for the staging was very reasonable. I think she has a true servants heart and a desire to perform her job with excellence. She loves what she does. I highly recommend her.
