Two Ways to Work With Me

Selling or Staying, I've Got You

Why Do I Need a Stager?

"My Home Is Already Professionally Decorated."

Yes, and that makes my job even more fun, because I get to showcase all that potential. I've staged a double wide in Dunn and a $7M custom home in the same week. At every price point, staging shows buyers how a home lives, and that's what sells it.

I stage your home's story with cozy vignettes, popcorn in the game room, inviting tablescapes in the dining room and lemonade by the pool.

Before your listing photos, I stage with what you already own. If your home would shine with a new rug, art or a few small accessories, I'll tell you exactly what to pick up.

Honorable Mentions

From a Double Wide to a $7M Custom Home

Every price point gets the same love. I staged a double wide in Dunn and a $7M custom home in the same week, and staging showed buyers how each one lives.

  • A double wide in Dunn. Staged to show buyers how it lives.
  • A starter home under $400k. It sold for $26,000 over asking.
  • A $2.3M Raleigh home. Pool included.
  • A $2.75M coastal home in Wilmington. Kitchen and primary bath updated.
  • A $7M custom home. Staged the same week as the double wide.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I stage for the first buyers who walk through the door, and many of my homes go under contract within days. Recent examples include a home under contract in 20 hours, another in one day, and one that earned $100,000 over asking in 48 hours.

  • That happens often. Most of my stagings are on a tight timeline, so we pick the updates that matter most, like the primary bath and the foyer. Then I pull together lamps, bedding, pillows and accessories in a matter of days.

  • You stay right where you are. I stage your occupied home with your own furniture, art and accessories, so it looks beautiful while you live in it and show it.

  • Absolutely. I use your own treasures in fresh, intentional ways, so buyers see a home with personality. One seller told me the result looked amazing and still felt authentically hers.

  • Yes! At our initial consultation I walk through your home and record the whole conversation. It's transcribed and sent to you and your Realtor the same day, so you have a clear plan of action.

  • I love working with Realtors. Many call me as soon as they get a listing, and several tell me their listings sell faster and for more when I stage them.

  • Occupied homes are my specialty. I also help builders and sellers with design selections for vacant homes.

  • Staged to Sell is for homeowners who are leaving. I get your home ready for photos and showings so it sells faster and for more. Style to Stay is for homeowners who are staying, with decorating, design help and my trade discounts to make your home special.
