I think we can all agree that staging makes a huge difference when it comes to selling an unfinished home. However, hiring the right stager is probably the most important thing to consider. As a real estate photographer, I can tell when something is out of line in a staged home. You can immediately feel the…

Brittany is a miracle worker! As a realtor in the Toledo area, I have recommended her for 3 different properties and each project she has knocked out of the park. First of all, her personality is go with the flow. She’s very flexible, understanding, approachable and adaptable to the client and situation. No two clients are the same. I’ve been so impressed seeing her approach to every single project. The most notable difference with Brittany is her attention to detail. Other stagers I’ve worked with just put furniture in the home, trying to occupy the space and distract buyers. Brittany is very methodical in her process, she pays attention to the colors of the room. For example I had a home with a light pink formal living room, she used furniture to mute out the color. It turned out amazing. Another property she tied little accents from the backsplash into the living room. It was absolutely amazing and she could easily be a designer for a restoration hardware photo shoot. All I can say is, you get what you pay for. She’s not the cheapest stager I’ve worked with but she’s certainly the best in the business. I could throw any project at her from $80,000 to $800,000 and I know she would be worth 10x what she charges. Because I’ve seen it first hand. All 3 houses have sold for way more than they would sell for without staging. I’m talking easily $25,000 (1 sold for $44,100 over asking, another $39,035 over asking). It’s just amazing 😻 to see the difference!

Response from the owner · a year ago

Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! Your words truly mean the world to me. It’s been such a joy working alongside you on these projects and I’m genuinely grateful for your continued trust and support. Every home tells a different story and I take a lot of pride in making sure the staging complements the unique character of each space—so hearing the details stood out to you (like carrying the backsplash color throughout or muting that pink room) really makes my day! It’s always my goal to create a look that not only photographs beautifully but also connects with buyers the moment they walk through the door. The results we’ve seen together have been amazing and I can’t wait to keep collaborating and bringing more properties to life!

Debbie, thank you so much for your review! I am grateful that you "knew" you didn't want to show an empty house and chose to stage it; that the return on investment would pay for itself! Congratulations on your quick (and higher) sale!! I respect your professionalism as well; so very important!

Hi Pravina, thank you so much for your review! It was my pleasure working with you and your husband on preparing your home. I loved when you told me how much you were learning from me about staging, and that you were excited to take this new knowledge and implement it in your new home. That statement is at the top of all compliments, in my staging book! Congratulations on your quick sale; I am truly grateful you found me in your online staging search!

I think we can all agree that staging makes a huge difference when it comes to selling an unfinished home. However, hiring the right stager is probably the most important thing to consider. As a real estate photographer, I can tell when something is out of line in a staged home. You can immediately feel the energy in the home if the pathways are obstructed because the furniture is too big for the room. You might not be able to connect the dots at first but you’ll be able to feel it. Sharon does a great job balancing the space in a room using furniture that makes sense. Not only does she know how to size up a room, but she does a fantastic job coordinating style and colors. If you’re thinking about hiring a stager to furnish your home, consider using Sharon. She’s the best.

Your words truly humble me, David; thank you so very much! The respect is very mutual when it comes to your impeccable photography skills and professionalism, in general. Thanks again and I always look forward to working with you in the world of real estate!!

My living room has always been difficult to rearrange due to the odd shape but Sharon came in and instantly had a great idea that opened the room up while still making it feel really cozy! She was also able to pull some simple decorations I had in other areas to the kitchen and front room to create a cohesive and warm entry. Sharon exceeded my expectations!! I only wish she had come over years sooner!

Response from the owner · 2 years ago

Ericka, it was so much fun meeting you and helping you prepare your adorable home (I loved your selection of pieces, as you know, lol) for Scott Estep's listing. Your response was priceless to my ears and heart; I love doing what I get to do and am grateful to be a part of Scott's team! Thanks again for kind words; I wish you all the best in your new season of life!
