I have an extensive background in new construction, rehabbing and custom millwork which proves to be a valuable asset when determining the value of a home for a buyer.

As a realtor for 16+ years, I know what sells a home. As a decorator, I will use that knowledge to stage your home to appeal to the greatest number of buyers.

Before	After

My fee for the staging of your home is complimentary when you list with me! Why not use my decorating background to your advantage while dealing with an experienced real estate agent?

When a home is staged by an expert…

“…a staged house sells, on average, 17% higher than an un-staged home. (U.S. Housing of Urban Development) Staged homes sell 49% faster for 7-11% more money than homes that have not been staged. (National Association of Realtors)

According to a National Association of Realtors’ survey, the purchase price for homes that sold after four weeks on the market were 6% less than those that sold within the first four weeks!

Does home staging really make a difference?

Yes, because it makes your home appeal to potential buyers. Most buyers have trouble visualizing the potential of your home. Staging your home will grab people emotionally and make them want to live there.
