We walk side-by-side with Realtors and homeowners to sell homes for top dollar. UpStaging Designs provides expert advice on how to maximize your home’s market value. As an experienced investor, rehabber, stager and realtor, staging recommendations are practical and actionable with a focus on visual marketing through MLS photographs.

Two (or 3) hours of expert visual marketing advice

We’ll focus on seeing your home from the perspective of a buyer in order to unlock your home’s greatest potential. Seller’s learn the what and why of each detailed recommendation as we go room by room.

Upstaging Designs provides expert recommendations to improve curb appeal, ideally place furniture and accessories, utilize decor, make smart repairs, change paint colors, replace fixtures, and organize/declutter your space.

We can adjust the recommendations to fit the needs of a furnished rental host to create online marketing photos that appeal to potential guests or tenants looking for a temporary home. With the popularity of platforms such as Airbnb, VRBO and others, investors must stand out online in order to attract rental clients.

We always keep your timing, budget, potential buyer, and list price in mind.

After our session, you’ll receive:

• Seller Service Packet with staging instructions

• Photo and Showing tips

• Product Recommendations

• Seller Staging Plan outlining the room-by-room recommendations.

We get your home photo-ready, so the pictures sell the space.

Once a homeowner has completed the recommendations given at the initial Staging Consultation, we provide our Photo Styling & Showing Prep services.

We adjust furniture placement and art, prep linens and bedding, and style accessories on furniture and built-ins. Includes closet detailing and last-minute showing tips to ensure MLS photographs have the impact they should.

Expert paint color selection & design consultation, so your home looks its best

We offer our Certified Color Expert consultation services to homeowners. We help choose the best interior and exterior paint colors for the home based on preferences, décor, and the home’s existing finishes.

For homeowners needing additional personalized assistance, we consult on art and furniture placement, décor, or renovations to accommodate personal tastes and lifestyle.

This is great for an existing home, new homeowner, renovation projects, properties about to go up for sale, or new build.
