Cindy owns two successful design companies that stage vacant homes to help them sell faster. Showhomes stages homes by furnishing them with managers' belongings to create lived-in looks. Homes sell in 2 months on average for 10-15% higher prices. Stage by Design also stages homes using clients' existing items or items they purchase. They present options and bid prices, then fully stage and design homes over 2-3 days to prepare them for selling. Before and after photos show their staging's dramatic impact on curb appeal and salability.
