Greetings Home Owners/Sellers!
A lot of thought goes into preparing a home for sale. It seems that most decisions are based on how much investment you are willing to make before the house goes on the market and what the return on that investment likely to be.
So, it may come as a surprise that little changes can make a big difference in attracting the right buyers. The interior and exterior of a house tell a story of how well the house has been kept, loved and appreciated. This story, when told right makes buyers feel good about buying your home. Together, we can make your house look and feel like a home that is really attractive to buyers.

Excited to stage your home? Here’ s How We Work: Three Steps to Success
Consultation: I’ll come to your home to take a good look around, then discuss a simple and practical top-to-bottom interior design. After that we’ll create a plan together and I will be happy to help you throughout the process.
Recommendations: Cleaning, Decluttering and Organizing. I’ll provide specific recommendations on decluttering and organizing your home and provide guidelines on how to do it. I always urge my clients to do three things: clean, declutter and organize.
- Why clean? Cleaning a space is the first step toward transforming it. I can recommend several area cleaning services in case you need help.
- Why declutter? Clutter in
homes is distracting and emanates stagnant energy. I’ll provide tips on
how to tackle this task quickly and effectively.
- Why organize? An organized home
is attractive and welcoming. It’s that simple!
Interior Design with a focus
on Feng Shui principles (the art of promoting positive energy, hence
harmony in your home). This is the final step in transforming your home
environment and promoting good energy throughout the house. I’ll apply
practical interior design enhancements for each room using your existing
furniture pieces, arts, fresh flowers and plants in a way that complements that
environment. After we’re done, you’ll feel the positive energy
throughout the home. And it will attract buyers who just feel
good while walking in and around your home. My expert understanding of
Feng Shui principles is something that sets my services apart and will bring
you tremendous value.

Additional Service: Re-Staging Your Home - I will assess your staged home as to what may be preventing it from selling and provide you with specific ways to shift the energy to enhance the sale of your house. Sometimes, buyers can't visualize your house as their home due to the stagnant energy caused by lack of complementary staging and interior design. When a house exudes good energy, it will make the buyers feel good to be in the house and wanting to buy your house.
