"I love your work!!! Your brand stands out from the rest in my eyes!"

- Matthew Finlason, Stager & TV Personality (The Stagers on HGTV)

When it comes to Real Estate, first impressions are critical. Home sellers need to impress the buyer the moment they walk in the door. That's why successful builders use staged model homes to sell their projects. They have been doing this for decades and understand the importance and the psychology behind a well-designed model home. 

With the current housing market in todays economy and with so many homes competing with your property, you need to understand that after a while, they all start looking exactly the same in the eyes of the buyer. What are YOU doing to make YOUR property stand out? Setting the stage is one of the most powerful marketing tools at the seller's disposal - Embrace it!

We work with you, the seller, and do a quick and comprehensive study to assess and determine the target market for each project and design your property accordingly - with the likely home shopper's income, tastes and more importantly, lifestyle in mind. We hand-pick furnishings, accessories and artwork from our exclusive inventory to wow the buyer and knock-the-socks off your competition. 

We work with a diverse audience and situations. Our clients come from all walks of life and backgrounds and include some of the largest privately-held residential developers and managers in the nation as well as leading architecture firms in Southern California for environmentally sustainable design practices and spacial architectural planning.

Our work is motivated by the possibility of *real change* and informed by rigorous research. We bring passion for innovation and deep knowledge of Southern California's architectural history and real estate to every project. This, coupled with tightly focused, undiluted, no-nonsense useful information on how best to position your property as ART equals expertise and unmatched value to our clients.

The truth is we love our job and are good at what we do - whether designing properties to sell or to dwell, our goal is the same: To bring about spaces that evoke emotion, deliver meaning and create positive change in your life!

I'd be happy to set up a time to take you through our program, explain it to you, tell you the different options and see which one makes sense for you and discuss the results you can expect.

When you are ready to sell your property, I welcome the opportunity to assist you in determining the BEST and most cost-effective way to prepare your home for market. For more information and to set up a FREE phone consultation, e-mail us today. We can also be reached at 310-245-6097.
