I have always loved home decor and decorating. When I was newly married and raising my young children, money was tight. During that time I did not have extra money to buy home decor. Instead, I loved being creative at home by moving furniture around , painting old furniture, or walls and finding fun ways to decorate my home on a budget.
I have worked in a variety of industries, mostly banking, mortgage loans, and then Real Estate. I became a Real Estate agent and listed a small condo. The condo needed that ‘wow’ factor to stand out amongst other similar properties that were also for sale. I added some decor, moved some furniture around, and cozied up the rooms. I had so much fun staging the condo! This is where my passion for home staging began. I loved it so much, I followed my passion and started Adore Home Staging.. the name comes from my LOVE of staging.
My favorite thing about staging is seeing the transformation that takes place. I love transforming spaces into something beautiful and inviting.
A note to Real Estate Agents : From my real estate experience, I see the advantage of showing buyers Staged homes versus Unstaged homes. Staged homes simply show better, both online, and in person. Buyers get one first impression and my goal is to create a space that a buyer will fall in love with! My staging has shown to sell properties faster and for maximum profit.
