Stage To Sell

I often get calls from Los Angeles Realtors and sellers asking if we would be willing to just Stage a couple of rooms in a home. Well, the short answer* is yes!
Recently a client called me about Staging his designer decorated 2-bedroom condo in West Hollywood. The catch was that he only needed one bedroom [...]

We recently Staged an adorable vacant townhome in Santa Monica. It had been listed for awhile with no offers, so we were brought in to help buyers see the potential.
The townhome had been painted and remodeled, so we had a great canvas to work with! Unfortunately the awkward layout of the living room, a not-so-neutral [...]

A few weeks ago I celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary with a trip to New England to see the fall foliage.

I just read this interesting article in the Los Angeles Times about the problems associated with trying to sell your home when you live next to a dump.
It was very timely since I encountered this very issue while previewing a beautiful new construction home in Sherman Oaks just last week. The developer built 2 gorgeous, [...]

I recently Staged a beautiful home in Los Feliz, California. It was a large home, had a gorgeous outdoor covered terrace with amazing city views, and had a view of the Griffith Observatory out the Living Room window. When I arrived to preview the home, the Realtor told me the home had initially been listed [...]

As a professional Home Stager, it is always such a pleasure to work with clients who  take your advice and roll with it! Such was the case with a recent occupied listing in Cheviot Hills.
