"I can't tell you who staged this house, it's a secret!"

By
Real Estate Agent with Thompson Company, REALTORS® 240.593.2860 MD594797

The other day, while on a multi-property home tour with my buyers, we stopped by one that was in the midst of an open house. No problem, we can wait our turn we said, while one of the 3 assistants to the listing agent took our temperatures.. yes, 3 lovely ladies were helping out and making this open house appear (much) busier than it actually was. It was a bit of an oddity in rural Frederick County, but hey, different is good and I am all for doing things differently.

When we finally got our turn to look at the house (since the people inside were limited, having 4 people there just representing the seller made the wait time a bit longer), we really liked what we saw. It was a cute house, obviously well cared for and staged beautifully!

I complimented the staging and asked who this team collaborates with, instead of a name, however, I was told "it's a secret! I can't disclose this to you." Hm. 

Well, allow me to use this opportunity and shout the name of my preferred stager in Silver Spring, MD and beyond from this here virtual rooftop! 

Jessica Flavell, Flavell Home Staging, LLC

I met Jessica in 2016 when we had to sell my client's house twice, after the first buyer defaulted at the 11th hour and the then totally naked Colonial just didn't appeal to others. Jessica made ALL the difference. We received multiple offers, and sold above list (again, this was in 2016 - selling above list price was not the norm) and for more than the first time around.

Since then I've recommended Jessica to multiple sellers and she's always done an excellent job. Homes staged by Jessica just show beautifully, and feel lovely. Jessica is an exceptional home stager with an eye for detail and space awareness. She transforms an empty house into a beautiful home that welcomes potential buyers warmly. Her furnishings and accessories are always of high quality and selected to match the style of the home perfectly. 

I highly recommend Flavell Home Staging, LLC to my clients - and everybody else - and I am not keeping her a secret. 

Home stagers do not all provide the same level of service, nor do they all deliver a well-staged home. I've seen half-empty paint cans used for propping up beds (on newly finished hardwood floors), damaged walls, furniture that has seen better days, and poorly designed rooms. 

This is not the kind of staging we recommend, nor will it get a home sold. 

Sellers rely upon our professional recommendations and reviews. Home stagers depend upon our professional recommendation and reviews. That is why I am not keeping Jessical Flavell, Flavell Home Staging, LLC a secret.

I always laugh at comment like those, it's a secret...who cares as if this was the only stager in the world!  A

It was a very odd answer Alexandra!

Apparently those agents didn't want their secret source to be available to anyone else

Apparently not! I wonder how that stager feels - unless, of course, she's a company employee (in which case they could have just said so).

Hello Andrea - I do enjoy seeing how people react to questions,  Everyday life is part of a lifelong lesson.

Yes. My clients' and my reaction was just a confused look LOL. Why make such a secret out of it?

Hi Andrea- what a wonderful shout-out for Jessica!!!!  Her pictures are proof of the quality of her work.

What an excellent shout-out for Jessica! Why would anyone want to keep the name of their stager a secret? So they could hog her/him? That doesn't help the stager at all.

I am just as puzzled as you Kat Palmiotti, I am sure the stager would appreciate the compliment, and the opportunity to expand his/her network.


I handed out 2 of Jessica's cards on the last listing we worked together. One to the photographer and one to an open house guest. It would never occur to me to respond with "oh, the stager is a secret".

Wow, people are still having to stay away from each other and have temperatures taken before being around others?  I thought all of this was coming to an end, haha.

It is now Brian England - that was just prior to restrictions being lifted. Although having 4 open house attendants on top of each other kinda defeated the purpose of the safety regulations.

Good morning Andrea! Yes, I am with you. I tell everyone who does a great job for me.

Right?! It was just so odd! Perhaps they didn't want people to know that it was staged? I have no other explanation.

Andrea, it cracks me up when people hide their sources, instead of helping the Stagger they think their Stagger will remain exclusive to them and hence will be able to sell out the competition... what a joke...these are people....well never mind, Endre
