Tara GillespieAccredited Staging Professional™ (ASP)
I graduated from IVC High School in Chillicothe, Illinois. I earned a Bachelors in Psychology from Illinois State University. My husband and I now live in Washington with our boys. I have been a Committee Member for the Children’s Hospital of Illinois / Children’s Miracle Network Telethon since 2005. I was employed as a User Experience Designer in the I.T. department for a large insurance company in Central Illinois for 8 years. Analyzing people's perceptions is a key part of my work experience and training. When I recently left my job to spend more time with my family and help my husband with his real estate business, home staging was the perfect fit. Creating the perfect experience for buyers was an easy progression from what I've been doing for years. In May 2008, I completed the Accredited Staging Professional Course provided by StagedHomes.com, where I received hands-on instruction and experience staging a home listed by a REALTOR®. The Accredited Staging Professional Course was created by Barb Schwarz, the Creator of Home Staging, President and CEO of Stagedhomes.com and the International Association of Home Staging Professionals. Barb developed the concept of Home Staging in the early 1970’s and has since educated more than one-million people on the subject. She is a nationally known and award-winning speaker, author and trainer and has been featured on ABC’s Good Morning America and 20/20, NBC’s The Today Show, as well as many local news programs. When you work with me, an Accredited Staging Professional™ (ASP) you expect me to help you prepare your house for sale so it shows better than the competition. With your Staged home on the market, you can be sure you’ll be moving...and when you move you’ll need to pack...so just pack up early! Staged homes will usually sell for more money and in a quicker amount of time. Working with an Accredited Staging Professional™ Stager will give you the Staged Home Advantage! |
