Raving Fans
Kym Hough, owner of Staged to Sell, has greatly exceeded all of my expectations as a stager. She provided services beyond her title, becoming my interior designer, buyer, profiler, real estate marketing consultant, personal shopper, construction referral resource and even sometimes psychologist! Kym is a great communicator listening first to my needs and service requirements. Highly organized, she produced a complete schedule and budget from the start of my project. As the consummate professional, she "delivered" at every meeting with very creative and resourceful ideas that gave me the big "WOW" factor, making my home a memorable experience.
The end result was an appealing, staged home that matched the tastes of my target buyer. I sold my home within one week of the first broker open house at a top of the market price. There is no doubt in my mind that Kym's staging services was a major contributor in helping me sell my home in these tough real estate times. Glenn Ishino, Harper Avenue, El Cerrito, August 2009

Staged to Sell works miracles!! As an active realtor, Kym Hough, has staged all my listings for nearly 6 years. They know the critical factors that help sell a home and they present each home in it's best light, ensuring a quick sale for the highest price possible. Staged to Sell is my secret weapon and every time they stage a home for my client, they prove how valuable they are!

Our real estate agent recommended that we use Staged to Sell when we put our house on the market. At first I was thinking that I could clean clutter and make the house look great myself, but when Kym came over to the house and spoke to me about the process I started to be convinced. After some homework on our part to paint and fix some things around the house Kym came in and did "MAGIC" I was amazed at how great the house was when she finished. It looked fresh, open, stylish and comfortable. All of my neighbors and friends loved what she did too. Our house went on the market and was in contract by the end of the first week. Kym was great to work with. She answered all of my many phone calls and reassured me that the process would work even with the kids, pets and busy life of the family. The whole process really helped me get organized to move and be excited about selling my house when it looked its very best.

We also found Kym through our real estate agent. She responded very fast to our call-for-help, had a professional proposal to us quickly, and assembled a skilled team to deal with all the aspects of getting our home ready for the market. The upfront investment in Kym and company's services may seem daunting -- but don't be put off by that. We're confident the return we received, in terms of speed of sale and sales price, was a multiple of what we paid. I wouldn't hesitate for a second to use Kym again if I were in a similar situation, and would strongly recommend her to others. By the way, I have nothing to gain personally by writing such an enthusiastic endorsement, other than the satisfaction of pointing you to a rare example of professionalism and integrity.

"It's been a great pleasure to work with Kym and everyone at Staged-to-Sell. I know that I can call them and they will handle every detail. Not only are her jobs stunning, she is professional, timely, and flexible. Her style is elegant yet practical and appropriate for the space she is working with. I've gotten nothing but rave reviews from potential buyers and other Realtors. I look forward to working together soon."

Initially, I was skeptical about the whole idea of staging my house, but after my experience with Staged to Sell, I am a believer. The house was beautifully staged, but more important to me was Kym's thorough assessment of what needed to be done to make the house look its best. I wish I had hired her as an interior decorator years before! She was easy to work with and offered her services at a fair price. Top recommendation!

In a very short notice, Kym transformed our empty and undefined house to a beautiful, serene family retreat. Her staging enabled prospective buyers see and feel what it really is like to live in our house. She was also very professional; arriving before an appointment time, and doing the beautiful staging as promised. Our house went into an escrow within a month, in this tough time with bad economy. It was truly "Staged to Sell"! Mikaboo, El Cerrito, CA, 2009

Kym did an excellent job staging our home. She had great ideas and reasonable prices. She brought in pieces that matched our home and enhanced the presentation dramatically. I would recommend her highly!!

A belated email to you about the work you did on 2294 Lomand Lane. It should come as no surprise that the appearance and your staging were received enthusiastically by open house attendees last Sunday and by agents at the Broker Tour. What a great job...the house looks terrific...love your staging. Photos are also great too. Thanks so much. Heidi Sl., Coldwell Banker, June 2008

"Staged to Sell is an A+ Staging Company. In preparing to put our home on the market we went out in our area to research Realtors and Staging professionals. What we saw was a C- except for Staged to Sell! They were an A+ every time! Their furniture is wood, upholstered and glass. They use upscale custom silk florals and beautiful beddings! Nothing but quality. Many of the staged properties we saw had slipped covered furniture and Ikea like furniture. It cheapened the property in our eyes. We were so happy to have Staged to Sell on our team when preparing our home for market. We gave out their cards to everyone we knew and will use them again and again!

"Staged to Sell are amazing. What a difference. My property was on the market for 60 days prior to staging. When my friends told me about staging and high recommended Kym Hough's Staged to Sell I figured I would give them a try. I am so glad I did! My vacant house looked incredible and it SOLD! I loved the free Virtual Tour and Custom Website. The photos were gorgeous and really increased the exposure of the property. I would recommend Staged to Sell to anyone interesting in selling their property and making it look its best!"

What I love about Staged to Sell and Kym Hough is that they take all of the worry off my shoulders when preparing our client's property for market! When I call Kym and her team I know that I will never be disappointed and the property will also look amazing. Realtor's have enough to do! I love letting the professionals at Staged To Sell do the work to make it the best property on the market!

Hi Kym,
Just wanted to let you know the SUPER job you did for me a staging the house at 654 37th st. It was really an incredible showpiece!! The seller was very happy and especially the fact that she received about $25000 more than we were asking, and this is in a down market. If we did not stage that house it would probably still be sitting on the market like all the others. I was happy too because I was able to double end it from someone who just came to the open house and fell in love with it. The buyer said "it was the most beautiful house she had ever seen"!! Everyone came out a winner!! I will be listing another property in a few weeks and would like you to stage it for me again, believe me it is money well spent. Thank you again and let me know if you need any recommendations for your services they are the best.

We agreed to use Kym's services for the sale of my Dad's house.
What a dazzling transformation. From just a "nice house" to something
the really looked good. The end result was that we sold the house for
$60k over asking price, which I don't think we would have gotten
without her services.
So when we sold our own house it was a no brainer to hire her again.
She worked her magic a second time which resulted in the house selling
for $15k over asking price, on a much higher priced house, in a tougher market.
Our thoughts on all this? Get your house staged and get Kym to do it.
Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself when your neighbor, who WAS smart
enough to hire her) sells his house for a lot more than yours.
