Description
Now into our 10th year, Real Estaging has been Chicago's premier staging company. We offer 5 levels of staging services to fit any budget. To know the "magic" we do, check out our BEFORE & AFTERs.

About Real Estaging:

Our staged properties show BEAUTIFULLY... so they sell faster and for more money.

We are soon to start our 8th year, REAL ESTAGING has grown and now has a staff of talented design professionals who know the business & art of real estate staging. 

We know the importance of SEEING a property before staging it. We perform on-site property evaluations to determine just what, if any, level of staging services are required.

We understand how to apply style, scale, proportion, color, and flow so that a property looks its best and sells quickly.

We have built an extensive Staging Prop Library with nearly 20,000 decorative accessories that allow our Property Stylists to select just the right props that subtly blend in, yet still enhance the property’s overall appeal.  

Our work doesn't stop with the physical staging, we also include a unique suite of marketing services that pro-actively help the Home Seller and Realtor advertise and market the property.

Our Commitment is to create an authentic WIN-WIN-WIN scenario for all involved... Realtor, Home Seller and REAL ESTAGING.

It's no secret,  the metro Chicago staged homes we have worked in show like model homes. We don't "dabble" in staging... we do it!

Testimonials:

"The owner is so appreciative & excited. I listed a unit that had been on the market for over 6 months.  The seller canceled his listing with the company he had it with and re-listed with me.  I got the unit owner to… stage his home with Real Estaging.  After the staging was completed, it not only sold for $19,500 more than his best (previous) offer, but sold it in 4-days!"   

A. Alexander - Realtor Keller Williams

 

"I walked away with an extra $9,000 after paying your fee. My first impression when coming home after the staging was WOW! UNBELIEVABLE! Thank you so much for what you did to stage my condo before I put it on the market.  I believe the professionalism and thoroughness of the work you and your company provided was a big reason it sold so quickly -- in just 27 days.  And, let me say again, WOW!"

 

 

"We both are mesmerized by the magic you make. …the first couple that made the low offer did see the house (again) yesterday and upped their offer.  The other party… is ready to offer asking price. Excited isn't even the word we feel over this.  Now, I wouldn't even consider putting a house on the market without your services. It is a necessity. Thanks again."  

"I am ABSOLUTELY THRILLED with how the place looks!  I was there today to see how it all looked done and truly couldn’t believe how far it had come from when I saw you there two days ago.  My husband and kids… all loved it. But I have to admit I had some reservations.  You really can’t be an observer and truly appreciate the designer’s vision, at least that’s the conclusion I’ve come to.  You and your team have done a fabulous job with the place.  I couldn’t be happier!  This has truly been a pleasure and I will be your biggest advocate in this area!" 

Y. Despinich - Home Seller & Realtor Prudential Realtors

 

"Thanks … we couldn’t have done it without you!  I took over an expired listing that sat on the market for 346 days with another agent.  In the first 40 days I had the listing I had 10-15 showings and no offers.  Then I heard about Real Estaging.  Within 20 days of Real Estaging doing their thing we had received multiple offers on the property.  I was ecstatic and so were my sellers" 

J. Speckert - Realtor Keller Williams

 

"I have enjoyed working with… you on our recent home staging projects.  (The Real Estaging) team do a professional job, the properties always show beautifully.  I look forward to continuing to provide this service to my clients and making this work in the 'Win-Win-Win' context... Thanks for your help on Todd's place - I can't wait to see the finished product on Jeff's place."   

A. Carter - Realtor Realty Executives City

 

"I truly believe that because of the staging…the (4) condo(s) sold quickly. Thanks so much for the great job you and your staff did on staging my client's condo.  Your company picked out just the right pieces to make it look like a home. Many buyers and agents commented that they thought someone was living there and inquired as to where they could acquire some of the furnishings. You and your staff have been extremely accommodating, exceptionally helpful and a pleasure to work with.  I would definitely recommend your services to other clients and agents." 

F. Horvath - Realtor Coldwell Banker 

 

"THANK YOU! You made it (our sale) happen for us! WOW, OH MY GOD were just a few of the reactions that (I) had! Thanks so much for making our place look like a million bucks! And, needless to say I am telling EVERYONE I know about your great job. Thanks again!"  

T. & L. Azupop - Home Sellers 

 

"We had multiple offers in less than 10 days!  I had a 2 bedroom 2 bath(s) listing that had previously been on the market for a year with another agency.  We reduced the price slightly, but had no offers for just over a month!  The place was painted white and still had craft paper on the floor for protection.  The unit looked the same as any other condo in the building.  ...we suggested staging the condo so buyers could get a feel for the size of the unit.  They agreed and they hired Real Estaging.  A contract was signed and closed in thirty days.  Our client was ecstatic! They thought the cost of the staging was well worth it.  And they would do the same thing all over again. I highly recommend Real Estaging for all of your staging needs!"
