Interior Designer with Real Estate Roots

I started my journey in real-estate lending, working at a mortgage company in Fairlawn, OH. I am an artistic person and craved a career with more creativity, so I went to the University of Akron for my degree in Interior Design. Staging combines my background in real-estate with my passion for art and interior design.

How can my experience and education help you sell your house faster and for more money? Or give the new look you've been dreaming of today? Schedule an appointment. You'll be suprised at how affordable a home makeover can be!

Staged Makeovers' Juicy Gossip

Staging Testimonials

"Thanks to Staged Makeovers my house sold in 4 hours! I thought I had my house ready by cleaning and decluttering but you came in with "wow" factors for each room that blew me (and everyone else) away. I would have never thought of those finishing touches that did the trick. Now I can use the ideas in my new house in Baltimore and "wow" my new neighbors." Cathi Kulhanek, Hudson, Ohio

"I was skeptical when I first heard my home was going to be 'staged'. I didn't like the idea of someone critiquing my decorating. However, after hearing Staged Makovers' suggestions and making the recommended changes (which weren't all that drastic), I realized that this was what was needed for a potential buyer to see my home as possibly their new home. Tucking away some of our personal items made the house less cluttered and more appealing. Our home sold in less than 2 weeks and I believe that it was due to your staging. Thanks Staged Makeovers!" Debby Laudicino, Aurora, Ohio
