Staging can embrace a season without being obvious. Colors of late summer & early fall can help a buyer subliminally envision upcoming holidays and family gatherings which in turn helps them see themselves in YOUR home for sale. Staging is not just "pretty furnishings " it's a strategic marketing tool to help house hunters turn into home buyers who connect their dreams & lifestyle to your home & get you the best return on your investment.

We officially ushered in 20 years in the home staging industry August 3rd, 2026 (also my son's birthday 💙) We are Double Decades! What started as a passion for real estate, marketing & home design has flourished & grown beyond my earliest expectations, a small business to help support my family with expenses coming for college tuition & other things I never saw coming. It's our family business & we create wealth & forward trajectory for all our clients. Eddie & I are so grateful for the trust that our clients give us with their largest investment, their homes. Here's looking ahead to what the next 20 years has in store as we continue to turn house hunters into home buyers!

Take a picture, it will last longer than this very special house did on the market!

We got to stage one of my closests friend's homes recently, which was bittersweet. The camera art is actually his work which we intentionally put in his home as homage to all the years we've been friends & working buddies too. While one Dallas house chapter is closing, we're still planning our next adventures & who says working & play can't mix?

"Do you sell your staging furniture?"... " Why, yes we do!" (swipe for price)...😲

Taken from the files of every day life of a home staging company. While yes, we get asked all the time if we sell our inventory and unless it's a one of a kind piece, the answer is generally yes. However, we're not a discount store, and no you're not "taking it off our hands" or are we willing to take your counter/half price offer. It's kind of insulting. Would you walk into any retail store & negotiate their price? especially if you love the pieces and they've already been selected specifically for the home you're buying? And yes, we do sometimes offer reduced pricing but it will always be in our first reply to your request, so please keep that in mind if you love something we've selected for your new home.

All homes at ANY price point deserve the best marketing! Love seeing "multiple offers - highest and best by" on listings that just went on the market over the weekend! (note: there's still time to get an offer in today!) Another great job by Kim Clarke McCarty & team on this great home 1613 Rancho Dr Mesquite, TX

Now you see it. Swipe you don't. Especially in small spaces it's imperative to show how furniture works in the room. Empty spaces almost always feel smaller without a point of reference. Effective staging helps overcome that huge objection when selling any home.
