Staged SO Right stages you and your environment to be AMAZING! Let's get YOU staged as well as where you live and work!

Staging for Success

My company, Staged SO Right started as a Home Staging Company.  I attended the Accredited Staging Professionals Course in 2007 and came home to begin my business.  I realized after years of consultations for home owners and business owners that staging means changing things around to maximize what is there.  People needed help making facilitating changes not just in their homes or offices, but also in their lives. Through plenty of ups and downs, I have learned that staging is not just a matter of choosing color for a wall or decluttering a home.  Staging extends to all facets of our lives and every phase can somehow be staged for success. Staged SO Right has transformed from a home staging company to a personal staging company poised to deliver skills, resources and encouragement to facilitate lasting and beneficial change for its patrons. 

Real Estate Services

I offer an array of Staging services.  I am committed to getting houses ready to sell through consultations.  This includes a walk through of the house and additional support throughout the "work" phase.  The homeowner completes a list of priority items and then I return to complete the final touches.  If additional staging services, beyond the consultation, are needed, I can provide those as well.

I  also offer services for those who aren't selling their homes.  Most of us have a problem room in our homes that we just aren't sure  what to do about.  Some are just tired of looking at the same decor or have a room that isn't functioning well.  Redesign is a wonderful way to define the purpose of the room and highlight the architectural features while striving to provide functionality, comfort and style.  

At times there are some clients that need additional attention when staging their homes for sale and that is the Senior Population.  I have worked with seniors to not only clear their homes of clutter and a lifetime accumulation of treasures, but then help them choose updates for their home to make them sellable.  Senior Staging is pretty emotional and time consuming and takes a special understanding.  I truly enjoy helping Seniors Stage their homes for success. 

Staging to Work rounds out the trio of Staging options.  If you have an office or reception area, I can help stage it for success.  By organizing your storage and work areas, I can help you function at a higher level.  My goal is to create a comfortable and motivating work environment for you and an inviting and warm reception area for your clients.  By Staging your work environment you send a strong signal that you are confident and responsive to the needs of your clients.  What a great message to send! 

 

 

What Clients have to say ...

"What an awesome job!  I enjoy daily how you transformed a plain office into a warm, friendly environment for my team and our clients.

In my business having time is golden.  Sending your company out to consult with clients on staging has opened the door so that I have more time to bring in other business.  The transformation that you have done on some of our homes is outstanding.  The hard work and time that you spend on a project has not gone unnoticed by my company or my clients.

I look forward to doing more business with you and your company in the future."

Have you ever wondered what to say to your clients when it comes to the cluttered arrangement of their furniture, or the bright neon stripes on the walls ... ? Well as a real estate agent, I have, and needless to say this is not my favorite topic on listing appointments, but understand that first impressions are crucial in a competitive real estate market.

When I met Sheila for the first time at a Staged So Right Presentation, I was curious as to what she could offer brand new clients of mine and booked an appointment with her that same day.  The house was fairly new and in great condition, but in order to peak interest right away among potential buyers, I decided to introduce staging to my clients as an additional tool to get the home sold quickly. 

           The sellers were in for a big surprise and received invaluable information and strategies on "How to transform their Home" into a Top Selling Product.  Not only did Sheila offer a list of ideas, but she also prepared a full written report that broke down each transformation with a plan of action.  Instead of being overwhelmed and confused, the home owner was able to follow a step-by-step guide line to complete the requirements to have the home officially certified by a professional Stager.  After 2 weeks, the house was ready to be "shown-off" online and among buyers and their agents.  As a listing agent, it was a pleasure to arrange for an Open House that same weekend, but before it came to that Open House-we received an offer on the home . . . . Fairy Tale---NOT AT ALL---but a glimpse of reality that shows what staging can do for your clients.  I could not imagine listing another property without the wonderful service Sheila O'Mara offers to her customers.

"Prior to my opening weekend on the market, I actually discussed moving into the house with my fiancé and selling my current house.  I was amazed at the coziness and charm that Sheila had brought to the house.  I truly wanted to live there even though I stood to make a nice profit by selling.  I'm not sure if my Before and After pictures actually do justice to Sheila's work, because the entire feel of the house actually changed.  I would recommend Staged SO Right to anyone selling a property and even more so to homeowners who want to transform and enhance their current living environment."

"When my realtor suggested staging our model unit, I was very hesitant.  My construction budget was tight and the thought of spending "unnecessary funds" on staging made my head spin.  Reluctantly, I called the only person I knew in the staging business---Sheila O'Mara from Staged SO Right. 

I kept emphasizing my lack of budget and she kept reiterating that she can work effectively with any size budget.  Upon arrival on a Thursday morning, I informed Sheila that the realtor had moved up our grand opening to the upcoming Sunday.  I am not exaggerating when I say that I witnessed the fastest, most unbelievable quality-at-bargain-price shopping spree I'd ever seen.  She made her own items for accents and orchestrated my workers and movers with military precision.  Sunday morning at the realtor open house, they all walked into a beautifully staged, very impressive model unit.

I am pleased to tell you that I sold a condo 4 days after opening and 3 condos in the first 45 days on the market.  There were numerous requests for the name and number of my Stager from realtors and two of the first three buyers asked if she was available for their condo units. 

Needless to say, my staging investment paid huge dividends and in a timeframe that I didn't think was possible.  I owe much of my successful construction project to Sheila and I've since referred her to other real estate professionals who have done business with her."
