Areas of Expertise

Selling a home can often be a stressful, emotional experience. Hiring a Home Stager is the way to alleviate that stress, thereby making the job of selling the home quicker, easier and more profitable.

Consultation

Amie will do a walk-through of the home assessing buyer appeal and recording pertinent details of what is needed to get it ready for sale. Following the consultation, the property owner will receive a fully detailed report outlining her recommendations.

The Consultation service is designed for homeowners who wish to implement the plan on their own. However, time and frustration can be saved by allowing Amie to implement the Home Staging plan and recommendations.

Complete Home Staging Implementation

Knowing what needs to be done and actually doing it are two different things. Home Staging by Amie offers complete home staging implementation. To ensure the home will be shown at its finest, Amie will fulfill the staging plan and recommendations provided during the consultation.

Home Staging by Amie will assist as little or as much as needed, from a single consultation to a complete Home Staging implementation.

Testimonials

"Amie was outstanding! We were able to sell our home in three short weeks thanks to her advice and staging techniques. She was very professional and easy to work with. She knows what people are looking for when it comes to the interior of a home down to the smallest detail. We couldn't have done it without her."

Andrea Mueller, Homeowner
Mandeville, LA

 

"To all those who want to make a difference and put their home in the number 1 position for a sale.

"We own a beautiful home in Mandeville and have had our home on the market for longer then we had anticipated. We have struggled through a slow market and could not identify a way to bring our home to the point that would stimulate buyers to differentiate us from the competition. We have even been stubborn enough not to consider consultation, as in our eyes we had the perfect house…we didn’t need help!

"Well, we were recently introduced to Amie and because of her friendly style, down to earth approach, and what I consciously perceived as a desire to be engaged, to put our needs in front of her own, and to honestly make a difference, we accepted her assistance.

"After a day of review, moving of furniture, the addition of some accents, and following Amie’s recommendations we felt like we lived in a new home. She was amazing; her eye for just the right thing in the right place was startling. My wife and I are pretty creative but we had never considered the changes that Amie made.

"Amie's experience was obvious to us and we are now delighted with the results and are even more optimistic that a buyer is just around the corner.

"I strongly recommend Amie and believe that you will receive a friend as well as a consultant."

"Amie did a wonderful job decorating our home. She talks with you, listens to you, and makes good choices for you! Amie can also take “no” from you if you don’t like something she suggests and then come up with a good alternative. She shops wisely, economically when desired, and has excellent taste in matching colors with furniture and life styles. I whole heartedly recommend her for her decorating skills and pleasant personality."

Peggy Hall, Homeowner
Baton Rouge, LA


"My experience with Amie was both pleasurable and very professional. She not only took time to meet me during my busy schedule and made the process of staging the home I had listed effortless. She was easy to work with and communicated her thoughts succinctly. The final product was even better than I expected!"

Stacey Fabre
Coldwell Banker Pelican


"Thank you for the help you gave us in staging the house. It was a big help and we had many comments from people who came through on what a difference there was with how our house presented itself vs others."  As a result, our home sold at a higher price per square foot than other comparable homes in our area AND for thousands over the appraised value.

"Amie has the verbal and staging skills to facilitate a smooth, comfortable way for clients to make the necessary changes to their homes to make them more presentable. Amie does not encourage people to spend money unnecessarily, but to first work with what they have."

Penny McGehee, Realtor

"Staging does add a much needed value to the newly constructed house. It not only enhances the construction but also allows the prospective buyers to visualize the house as a “home”. Staging adds color and texture to the house. It makes the buyer have a warm and inviting feeling. I have staged the last three homes that we have built and I think that is the reason I have sold our houses so quickly. With each house, we had an “Open House” on a Sunday and had a signed contract by Monday evening. You just can’t beat that! I would recommend staging to anyone trying to sell a house. Staging works!"

Pam Weaver

"I used Amie for my listing in The Reserve Subdivision in Mandeville. This property had been vacant and on the market with another agent for around 15 months when I took it over. The sellers were very open minded and took my advice on some updates and to stage the house. Since the living room did not feature a fireplace; I needed the buyer to be able to visualize the flow since most of the living area was in the keeping room. After Amie staged it I got a good reception at the open house. It took 45 days for the first real buyer to see the property. That buyer bought it! Thanks Amie"

"I hired Amie to review my home and met with her several times. I am very impressed with her knowledge and ideas. I also appreciated her commitment to spending as little of my money as possible. I would highly recommend her to anyone preparing to sell a home."

Marjorie R., Homeowner
Lafayette, LA


"Amie, working with you was a pleasure! You did a fantastic job on staging this home! The owner was excited with the beautiful work that you did and your fantastic personality. Thanks for your patience and speedy deliverance in a time crunch. I will refer you to anyone that needs staging of their home and continue to use you as my personal home stager!  Thanks!"

Cheri Little, Lafayette Realtor


"What an asset Home Staging by Amie is for real estate professionals! Amie's services will definitely give our listings 'the edge' to make them more appealing and memorable to potential buyers."

"Amie went above and beyond our expectations when staging one of our listings. She had so many ideas for each room and amazed us with the end result. The house took on a whole new look and this could have not been done without her. I will definitely be using her again in the future."

"I highly recommend the use of Amie and her knowledge to all who want to sell their house. After she worked her wonders, the responses were overwhelming. She economically transformed my single mans domain into a show piece, and I could not have done it without her. Amie can come decorate any house I will ever own. She was a total joy to work with." (UPDATE: Because of Amie's hard work, my house the first month it was on the market. SB)

Stan Bugara, CEO
Subsea Solutions      


"I have requested Amie's expertise for two listings (so far) and have been extremely pleased with the jobs she has done. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable and creative, her people-skills are exemplary and she goes "the extra mile." One of my clients is quite elderly and working with her, at times, was "challenging." Amie's tact and patience achieved the desired results and my client is absolutely delighted that her home sold after being on the market only two days! I will definitely be calling Amie in the future!"

Wendy Klamm, Realtor

"My home was on the market for several months and I was not getting any offers.  The subdivision was still building new homes and the buyers were coming in and buying the new homes.  My house was only a year old.  Amie did a wonderful job staging my home and in no time I got a contract and sold my house. I liked the fact that I did not have to buy anything.  Amie used the things I already had in my house and made it picture perfect.  I would highly recommend her to anyone who is trying to sell their home."

M. McGee, Homeowner
Lafayette, LA


"I want to thank you again for coming to do a walk-through of our home and giving me your opinion of what we could do to update it and make it more 'sellable.'
 
"Our home is 28 years old, and everyone said they loved it, and none of the potential buyers had made any negative comments, but no serious lookers. We needed an outside, professional opinion; and you came in with a knowledge of who our competition was and what it would take to make the house more presentable to prospects.  Even the realtors that have come through since the changes have remarked "What a difference!" and we spent minimal dollars!  When I told people we had a "Home Stager" come in, they didn't even know what that was - UNTIL NOW!
 
"THANKS A MILLION"
