WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY ABOUT US:

HOME STAGING clients

  • As a realtor with experience in new construction development as well as residential re-sales, I have a great need for working with people who understand the nuances of different housing types as well as the various needs of the sellers and potential buyers. Erin is professional and friendly and capable of understanding what is necessary to stage a home for the potential buyers of numerous housing types. Erin understands how to work with sellers to make their homes ready for the market by creating welcoming environments and removing the personalized clutter of owners so that buyers can envision themselves in these homes. She realizes the importance of giving buyers a clean look at a home instead of a look at sellers "things". Erin's expertise allows for the quickest and best results for sellers. I highly recommend Erin as a home staging expert.
