I am pleased to announce that after many successful and enjoyable years of working with clients to stage their homes, I have decided to retire.

While I enjoy transforming my clients’ homes for both sale and livability, I want to devote more time to family, friends, and my hobbies.

Why Staging Matters

A home is never worth more than the first day it is listed. Prepare your home before listing, so that it will look the very best it can in the online property photos and will appeal to the targeted buyer!

  • Home Staging presents the house is such a way that the buyer can picture herself living in the home.
  • Staging a house makes the home look warm and inviting, and allows buyers to visualize the possibilities for the space.
  • Homes that are staged are seen as “well-cared for” and “move-in ready” by most buyers.

Did you know that….

  • there are thousands of homes for sale in the Pittsburgh area?
  • over 81% of buyers found it easier to visualize a property as their future home when it was staged?
  • on average, homes that are staged sell in ½ the time compared to unstaged homes?
  • 91% of sellers’ agents believe home staging increases the amount buyers are willing to offer?
  • Only 10% of buyers (9 out of 10) have the imagination to see past the clutter, personal decor, or visualize furniture in empty rooms.
