Home Staging

For more than 20 years I've helped people with home décor selections, furniture placement, color selection and Real Estate Home Staging .  My previous corporate management career, combined with my experience as an investment property owner, is an added value to my clients. I look beyond just the aesthetics to help them see the bigger picture. This broad experience & knowledge --  and the grace of God -- led me into a home staging and interior redecorating career when I founded Ballantyne Home Staging +more.

We create real rooms for real people at Ballantyne Home Staging, a licensed and insured Home Staging and Redecorating company. As a Certfied Color Consultant CfYH®, Accredited Staging Professional® and Certified Decorating Professional®, I bring my passion, training, and hands-on experience to every job big or small: Home Staging consultations, Color consultations, Redesign Consultations, One Day Makeovers, and More.

When it comes to Home Staging, our goal is to get the property under contract quickly at a good price. 

 It's that simple

We offer Home Staging Consultations and will Stage vacant and owner-occupied houses.  All vacant home quotes are considered bids and are no charge. 

If the homeowner needs help with anything -- from house cleaning, painting, landscaping, countertop, flooring to handyman services or more -- we can make recommendations to a team of professionals that we know, like and trust!

Listing a Home? Ballantyne Home Staging serves the Charlotte market including Waxhaw - Marvin -  Gastonia - Belmont -  Indian Land - Indian Trail - Mint Hill - Lake Wylie - Lake Norman - Concord - Harrisburg.  Occasionally we work in the mountains of Western NC and the coastal regions of the Carolinas, too!

What People Are Saying...

"Carol is a consummate professional, yet personable and easy to work with - she is responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Carol always does what she says she will do and follows up to ensure customer satisfaction." - G Andonian, Atlanta GA

"After far too many months and 30+ showings, our home sat on the market with no offers. After calling Carol and Staging the house, we received an offer within a few weeks. Staging clearly made a huge difference for us. Our only regret, not calling Carol sooner! Many thanks!" Amelia & Jason Napodano, Marvin NC

"We listed our house on a Wednesday and got a full price offer on Saturday. Unheard of in this market!  How could this be possible?  We are convinced it was due to the wonderful work of Carol Schulenberg.  We would recommend Ballantyne Home Staging to anyone who wants to get the best price in a short time for the sale of their home."  - Pam & Mark Schneider, Charlotte NC

 "From the beginning my client was impressed. You responded quickly and professionally and did an excellent job using the resources available, while complimenting them with your inventory. The home was beautifully staged, but didn't have a "staged" appearance. It looked natural. The home sold in 2 days! Thank you for doing what you love and loving what you do ~ it shows!  Pam Love Orsburn, Allen Tate Realtors

 "Thanks to Carol's staging my house sold in 1 day! Every prospective buyer was blown away. She also put together my new home from boxes to live-in condition in 1 day. I would highly recommend her services whether selling or moving!" - J Conder, Charlotte NC

 "We had competing offers the first 3 days on market.  You worked your magic on this one.  I am convinced Staging works!"  Karin Hull, ReMax Metro Realty.
 
 "You really made the home look brand new and attractive. It looked so great that we had a showing two days after it was on the market and the couple fell in love with the house and purchased it.  Even the couple's real estate agent was taken back. She asked who had done the staging and said that it was the best she had ever seen.  The thing I like about Carol best is she is very easy to work with! She has great ideas and is very reliable, dependable, and trustworthy." - B Hines, Indian Trail NC

 "Thank you for using what I had in my home and supplementing rather than starting from scratch.  It was nice working with someone warm and inviting, constructive while kind, helpful and thoughtful.  I really appreciated being able to send additional questions and getting quick, decisive and helpful replies." - A Burris, Gastonia NC

 "Thank you for your hard work and dedication in Staging my clients home at the last minute.   You took on a big project to be completed in a short time frame.  I was most impressed with the time and energy you put into this project and it showed in the end product. My clients are very happy and we feel with the changes you made to this home will help to sell it quickly." - Carol Hampton, Realtor.

 "The property was on the market for six months with a lot of showings but no offers.  After staging the family room, kitchen and main bath, we had an offer within 35 days and I would highly recommend working with Carol."  - Jan Kremer, Kremer Realty, Munroe Falls OH.

 "Carol staged one of my properties that has been on the market quite some time. After the staging was complete I have seen more showings and better feedback on the house. I would highly recommend Carol for any home staging needs. She does fabulous work."  Julie Jenkins, Keller Williams

About Me

Having grown up in the Midwest, #5 of six children, I'm thankful to my parents for instilling a positive outlook on life & a strong work ethic in me.  I learned to be creative, negotiate and manage life with integrity largely because of my upbringing!  Today, I have a loving husband, three grown sons that I am so proud of, and three grandchildren, too!

I enjoy a good book to relax, and just about anything outdoors: camping, hiking, the mountains, the beaches.
