Lisa Ryan

About Us:

I have lived in Central New York all my life and love to spend summer weekends on the St. Lawrence River in the 1000 Islands. I love interior design, decorating, and visual communication. I believe that professionally staging a home will show off its best features and provide great online photos. By staging. we create a warm and inviting atmosphere that appeals to buyers and emotionally connects them to the home. Once emotionally connected, they can envision themselves living in the home.

I am certified in both Home Staging and Redesign, a member of the American Society of Home Stagers and Redesigners, International Redesign Professionals, and the Interior Design Society.

Smart Move Design provides staging for those getting ready to sell their home. We also redesign current living space using what the home owner already has to give the home a new look. We consult, organize, pack, rearrange, decorate, shop and rearrange. Every client has different needs and we provide a range of services to accommodate all of those needs. We are professional, certified, insured, and committed to providing excellent customer service. We are affordable and discounted realtor pricing is available.

Testimonials

"I can't thank you enough for all your help, it is so greatly appreciated. My house is beautiful because of you and your talent." Helen M, Cicero NY

"Lisa Ryan is just a delightful person to work with. Lisa goes the extra mile to make sure that your home is staged to SELL, from the beginning of our projects - picking paint colors, room details, ordering furniture, and providing photos of the end results. etc.

Recently we started using her Virtual Tours on our real estate listings and with one house we had over 740 hits and a purchase offer from a couple in Oregon looking to purchase a home for their Graduate student - all just from viewing the Virtual Tour.

I could continue with descriptions of Lisa's many other good qualities, her work ethic, energy, and her creativeness to name three. Instead I would simply like to say how much I think of Lisa and how strongly I would recommend her for any task that involves a high level of commitment."

" Picture Perfect" is the best way to describe how Smart Move Design can turn an empty home into something magnificent. Today's Buyer needs to walk into a home and almost immediately feel like it is theirs, Smart Move Design has accomplished that goal for my clients and myself on several occasions.

I have worked with Smart Move Design to Stage Vacant Home listings I have acquired. They bring all the Furniture and Accessories into a Vacant home and with their keen sense of interior decorating they will make the home look modern and lived in. Also, as apart of Smart Move Design's service, they will take professional photos of each room to enhance the look of the home on the Internet. As we all know, Today's Buyer more than likely will start their search online than any other avenue, so descriptive photos are important.

I will continue to refer Smart Move Design to my clients and colleagues.

Not only does Lisa Ryan of Smart Move Design do a great job of staging our listings so they sell quickly, she has also made every one of our clients feel very comfortable with her suggestions and her professionalism. It is a pleasure to know that when we recommend Lisa, the job gets done.

Gail Shafer, Coldwell Banker Prime Properties

Dear Lisa,

I just want to thank you again for the great help you have given my partner, Diane Ragan, and me to bring a successful contract on the sale of our homes. Just to name a few are: City Lights, Lynacres Drive, Woodberry Lane and most recently, Hook Circle.

Your reasonable approach blended with your high quality taste and good eye for design and space in each home have succeeded in showing off the best features of the property. Truly, your staging brought together all our efforts of marketing with many websites, virtual tours, open houses and advertising. Your staging was the "icing on the cake."

Thank you for all you do and we will certainly continue to recommend your "Smart Move Design" to sellers and our fellow agents.
