- Description
- I started young as a stager, fueled by the colors in a box of crayons, pieces of fabric, yarn, natural materials and found objects. My Grandma introduced me to decorating and homemaking skills.
About Us:
My name is Johanna Wells. I am the owner of Look Group and a Certified Interior Staging Specialist. At The Look Group, I specialize and am an expert in staging and merchandising homes TO SELL. The art of staging is something I have studied, practiced, and became certified in. Not only do I have 10 years of experience in the application of design and staging, but I also have 20 years experience in color application and use. What does this mean? I have a list of certifications:
- Certified Interior Staging Specialist, I.R.I.S.
- Certificate of Completion in Color in the Architectural Space, I.A.C.C
- Certificate of Completion in Color-Environment/Human Reaction, I.A.C.C.
- Certificate of Completion in Biological Effects of Light/Color Psychology in Depth, I.A.C.C.
- Education: Commercial and Graphic Art, Design/Illustration
- Completion of training in the use of Specialty Architectural Coatings
- I also attend Interdisciplinary training with the International Association of Color Consultants/Designers NA bi-yearly
- Published in Colorado Homes and Lifestyles Magazine, Rocky Mountain News, Denver Post and Do-It-Yourself Magazine
- Participated in six of the Denver Junior Symphony Guild Showcase Homes and the Parade of Homes
Areas of Expertise
Certifications and Interdisciplinary studies offer expertise in the practice of showcasing architectural space. The strategies learned make use of the emotional factor in people's responses to their environment. It is unique in its recognition of the critical role emotion plays in the way people react to physical surroundings. The training allows me to elicit positive feelings whenever a buyer enters a space.
At The Look Group, I realize that selling a home at the highest price and as quickly as possible is crucial to you and your success. I also know you have a career and life, and you want a Staging Professional who has the experience and proof of doing things right so you don't have to worry. That's why I've committed myself to overcoming every problem you'll face with any other designer - to showcasing your homes, assisting the home to sell faster and for a higher price.

Even if you don't need a stager right now, this CD will show you different options that are available and give you the right questions to ask when you're ready.
Testimonials
Your staging of this home was great, and I am sure it contributed to the frenzy of activity and offers. On Sunday night I was able to present five offers on the property to Julie, and she accepted the highest offer, which was for $325,000 -- $26,000 over listing price. (Confidential - we don't share contract prices with others until closing.) The winning offer was from a cover who saw the open house signs on Saturday and didn't have a buyer's agent.-Jim Smith Broker Associate RE/MAX Alliance
Great report card! Also, I've got my condo under contract and I know I locked up the signatures because of the staging; Thank you- Sean Gatlin, Gourmet Realty
Ever since the after-staging photos got posted on the MLS, showing have doubled...and it isn't even the weekend (only 2 days on the MLS with the new photos). The staging has had a direct impact on my listing.-Michael Clarkson, Broker Associate, Remax Alliance
I have a contract on the Idaho Springs house. It was signed today. 98% ofthe asking price. Wow.
4 Days after putting it back on the market .....There was not even a sign out front yet. Thank you for the help. The place really looks great.-Craig Tessem
I am writing this letter to thank you for your professional and timely staging of our custom home at 8570 West 68th Avenue last week. Your sensitivity to the design features of the house was outstanding. Your selection and placement of the furnishings and accessories complimented the design intent perfectly. Your attention to the smallest details such as the bowl of chocolate candy on the foyer table pulled the effort all together to create a "home" environment my potential buyers could relate to. The planned broker wine and cheese open house date presented a tight schedule but you and your team pulled everything together just in time.
All future Vidar, ltd homes will include a staging phase budget. I'll let you know when our next project is ready for your "finishing touch".
I am pleased to tell you that I accepted a sales offer two days after you finished staging the 68th house.
Thanks again to you and your team for a job well done!Sincerely, Edward Johnson,President
I wanted to thank you for your advice on how we should stage our house. After following some of your advices, we started getting great feedback on all of our showings. Our house was on the market for over four months without much interest, but after we staged our house, we started getting compliments, and today we just got an offer on our house. Your service was worth
every penny.Thank you, Viler Xiong
I wanted to take the time to thank you for your tremendous work! I had never utilized a stager prior to this move and was faced with a number of obstacles: the condo market is currently inundated with properties, I had another vacant unit in my building (which only consisted of 4 units anyway), and I was listing the condo just before Thanksgiving at a time when showings drop drasically in the real estate market. Despite all of those obstacles, your outstanding work allowed me to sell my condo in 2 weeks at my asking price! I am "sold" on your services and will never again sell a property without enlisting you in the process. Thank you for making my home look its best to prospective buyers.-Nancy Casper
