Property investors concerned with the bottom line often cut staging when their budgets become tight thinking it is a non essential part of selling their homes. Staging however is often the key factor in differentiating a property when it has to compete with other similar homes in the marketplace. Our team worked with a developer today in Manyunk, Philadelphia County Pennsylvania that had used our services a year ago. His home had been on the market for 18 months, after staging it sold within 2 weeks! For his current project he did not even hesitate to have us prepare it for sale. The showings start on Sunday but you can take a look at it now:

You do the CLEANEST and SIMPLEST work. I love your style.

MANY MANY MANY stagers could learn from your style... and save on inventory costs at the same time.

I agree with Craig.  Your work & Jackson's work are always two of my favorites!  I try to take mental notes for my shopping.... we can all learn from each other, even when we are seasoned.

Nice job Kate and your investor client's are very savvy.  I've done staging for a few investors here, but the housing market is so bad they are still haven't sold.  But they continue to rent my props because they know their houses show better than they would vacant.

Kate, As your ardent fan I'm back for more. I was not disappointed. I agree with Craig Schiller, you do excellent work! How did you hang the curtain rods or will they convey?

Kate this is a prime example of "lifestyle selling". Potential buyers want to see that a property is "move in ready" and you have set the stage for exactly that. Here's to another speedy sale!

Beautiful work Kate!  You're right....investors need to budget that staging in.....its their secret weapon!  If only more investors would realize that!

Wow.. is that a huge rock in the back yard?  Just love the clean lines Kate.  You are awesome girl, no wonder it SOLD so quickly.  I hope that you told them that the "need" you ;)

Is that your dinette in the kitchen?  I need one just like it!
