Attract your buyer.

A well-designed property gives you an edge in the real estate market. Property staging statistics are an example of this principle:

About 75% of sellers see an ROI of 5% to 15% over the asking price when they choose to stage their homes professionally before they put them up for sale.

Investing 1.3% in staging results in a 7.1% average over-list return, according to a 2021 survey.

Staging helps increase the sale price by up to 20% on average based on a 2022 report.

Sellers who chose not to stage their homes experienced an average home price reduction of five to 20 times greater than the staging investment would have been.

Process

Perception is important in real estate. Sellers want their property to be received in a way that creates a sense of high value. I am an agent with an art background that knows how to use everything from small tweaks to big statements to enhance the appeal of any space, even within limited means.

Working with me begins with a consultation where wants and needs are discussed. Whether buying or selling, limited-service staging and/or full-service design, what you need to enhance your property to its fullest extent in relation to your goals, timeline and budget will be determined. Once we come to an agreement on services, the property is assessed, a report written and paperwork processed.

More extensive design expenses may be taken from seller proceeds. For my seller clients, staging expertise and artwork rental is included with my agent services, a tremendous value.
