"Our house had been on the market and shown relatively often but no offers came in. All the showing feedback wasn't positive or negative there just wasn't anything special happening. That's when I decided to look into staging. The concept was new to me, but I needed something to make the house more exciting and enticing for buyers since it was vacant and didn't show with much 'life'. 

I was amazed at how few items could make such a huge difference in how the house showed and felt. I was impressed with Susan's ability to take ownership in the process, and that she really was interested in helping our listing show the best it could. 

After the staging we had a new open house to re-introduce the house and within the first week received two offers and more excitement about the home than ever before. We accepted the second contract and are very pleased with the outcome.  I have all positive things to say about Susan and her efforts and results."

"Susan of Creative Staging and ReDesign has a real gift. We had our home professionally staged by a different agency and it sat on the market for months with no offers.  Right away Susan was able to visualize how to make the most out of our home.   She expertly put in place furniture, window dressings, pictures, and decorations that made our home really stand out.  The pieces she used were a wonderful blend of classic and contemporary that perfectly targeted our intended audience.  Her work was quick and efficient, and she had no difficulty working with us from a distance by email and phone (we had already relocated).  

Our home was being offered for rent or sale.  Within six weeks we had two families giving their deposits, both wanting to rent the home; the one we accepted was interested in a lease-purchase option.  They commented how lovely the home was, how well-coordinated the décor appeared, and even asked where I had bought some of the decorations! I have no doubt that Susan’s tasteful and artistic work made all the difference.  I give her my highest recommendation. (And we paid less for her service than the agency we had used initially!)"

"Susan has a gift for seeing the strong points in a house and accenting them for showings and creating a sense of what it would be like to live in the house.  She is so talented in the way she stages a home!  In a few short hours Susan changed a cavernous vacant house into an inviting one, drawing the eye around the rooms, and creating a curiosity to see what was offered in the next room.  Susan made my job easy, accenting my listing so it would sell itself."
