Frequently Asked Questions

When should i plan on setting a pre-listing consultation?

I have worked with sellers up to a year in advance of them being ready to go on the market. Typically I meet with sellers 1-2 months before they plan to go live on the market.

Why should I hire a stager?

Staged homes sell for more money in the fastest time by appealing to more buyers by creating a higher psychological value to potential buyers. HANDS DOWN! See a few of my success stories to see true stories of money (or even a sale) earned after staging.

Home Much does staging cost?
