Accredited Staging Professional® Code of Ethics
o I believe in my ability to help my clients Stage® their properties.
o I will follow and protect this Code of Ethics for all Accredited Staging Professional® Stagers (ASPs®).
o I will establish and maintain professional policies to hold my clients accountable to prepare their homes for sale and keep them in Staged showing condition until the home is sold and the inspection and appraisal are completed.
o I will protect the quality of Staging by following the Staging Criteria & only using the word "Staged" to describe homes that have truly met or exceeded that criteria.
o I will protect the Stage® trademark by including the registered trademark symbol (® ) with any derivation of the word in any print advertising or marketing that I do.
o I will protect the Accredited Staging Professional® trademarks by including the trademark symbol (®) with any marketing or print advertising that I do with the ASP®® and ASP®M® designations.
o I will not use deliberately and knowingly underbid other ASP®’s prices as a way to attempt to obtain business. Although we cannot price fix fees in the Home Staging Industry, I will professionally set and promote my fees in accordance with what the market will bear.
o I will edify fellow ASP® Stagers in all business dealings, expressing positive praise for them, their business, and Staging work.
o I will honor the Staging University® by not releasing my password to the University to any non-ASPs®. I further agree to not give non ASP® Stagers our ASP® materials for their use.
o I will display and market my ASP® Designation in my Staging marketing materials to inform people that I am an Accredited Staging Professional.
o I will educate my clients and the public as to the meaning and origin of Staging to enhance the ASP® Designation for all ASPs®.
o I will bring credit to the ASP® Designation through my honesty, my integrity and by honoring my clients and myself.
o I will honor all ASPs® with the dignity and the respect of the designation for the greater good of all.
