MARY PENNEY, OWNER

FINISHED ROOMS

Limited home staging starts at $1,880.  (Please see detailed pricing below)  Through my 30+ years of experience in real estate, I have learned exactly how a house should show to attract the most number of buyers. Selling a property means selling a lifestyle.  We strive for a fresh and welcoming look that is not taste specific. This is the difference between interior decorating and staging to sell, and, there is a science to it!!!   

TESTIMONIALS

Mary did a fantastic job staging what we had lovingly begun to refer to as our “shoebox house”. The transformation almost made us wonder why we were selling it (ok maybe not quite)! Somehow, she managed to make the house appear bigger, brighter and much more inviting than it ever looked when we lived there. I’m not quite sure how she and her crew managed it in about a day, when it took us several to move all of our stuff out. Mary has a keen eye for design and her seemingly small finishing touches made a big difference. With her staging (and admittedly a great location), we had more than 60 showings in one weekend and 9 offers all over list price! This service was WELL WORTH THE COST!! The addition funds we received over list price amounted to more than 10 times the staging cost! It’s a no-brainer!

Working with Mary has been a incredible experience. The compliments we get during a showing and from other agents touring the property gives an extra sense of excitement to the property. She takes time and care in every project and we will certainly continue to use her for any of our renovation projects! You won’t regret working with Map Home Staging

Mary and her team do a great job and have excellent taste. They are extremely professional and work with my client’s timeline. Their staging is a great investment for clients listing their homes.

(Response from the owner:

I’m blushing😊! As a top agent in the area, you already know how home staging can be a powerful and effective marketing tool to get your listings sold quickly and for top dollar. Thank you again for working with us.)

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE YOU  CONSIDER STAGING WITH US:

Exceeding your Expections is our job

We own all of our staging furniture, rugs, art and accessories etc.  All items are purchased new, except for a very few unique and high end vintage pieces and custom artwork.  The cost of our ever evolving inventory is almost $35,000, and all items are carefully selected for beauty as well as taste level. We do not use repurposed or "up-cycled" items.  Because we do not rent furniture or moving van (we have our own) you will not have other contracts or costs to worry about.  We strive for perfection in our home staging, and hope you will not mind if we showcase the finished product on social media.

Mini/Light staging includes living room -no couch or heavy furniture, kitchen and both bathrooms.  Stage is for 30 days, but may be extended for a monthly fee if agreed to by both parties.

FIRST impressions are the ONLY impressions in real estate!

According to REALTOR.org, staging will help sell your home 88% faster and for up to 20% more than homes that are not staged because of the visual appeal created.  My services are designed to maximize home seller's profits by positioning the property in its best light to sell quickly and for the most money possible.
