How It Works
- Each project starts with a consultation to analyze the space and needs.

Home Staging
Home Staging can help you sell your property faster and for more money. Homes filled with personal items can hide the possibilities while vacant homes can leave little to the imagination. As a result the homes sit on the market longer. For a currently occupied home, Rebecca will help accessorize, rearrange, and de-clutter to emphasize positive points and detract from any negatives. For empty homes, Rebecca will work with rental companies to fill the home with the perfect look to help inspire any potential buyers.
