I'm super proud of the project I'm currently working on 🖤
There’s something really satisfying about watching an idea come together one piece at a time — especially when you’ve hauled every rock yourself. Give me a hot sunny day, a wheelbarrow, and a vision — and I’m in my element ☀️

Projects like this remind me why I love what I do. Whether I’m cleaning, staging, or helping someone find their next home, it’s all about seeing the potential and bringing it to life.

Misty Hollow is my way of helping homes shine — inside, outside, and everything in between.
I can't wait till it's all finished. It's going to look amazing 🖤

Follow the black brick road 😉

Some people walk into a fixer-upper and see a nightmare.
Others walk in and start visualizing paint colors, vintage light fixtures, and possibility.

If you're the second kind of person — I'm your kind of Realtor.

I help folks with vision, tight budgets, and zero desire to live in a beige box.

🖤 Delaware. Gritty charm. Hidden gems.
Let’s find the one that speaks to you.

Table is all set up and ready to rock for today's flea market & BBQ contest 🖤

🏡✨ Just wrapped up a full deep clean and staged the kitchen and dining room at 2005 N. Lawrence St, Philadelphia, PA 19122—and this home is glowing!

This 3 bed, 3 bath twin has been completely redone inside—modern, fresh, and move-in ready from top to bottom. It looks and feels like a brand new home in the heart of Philly.

Proud to support Selinda Kennedy-Bryant, the listing agent with RealtyMark – Huntingdon Valley, PA, by helping prepare this beauty for the market!

✨ New Name, Same Magic ✨

After much deliberation, I’ve decided to update the wording slightly to better reflect the heart of what I do:

Misty Hollow HomeWorks – Home Staging and Property Care Services 🏡🖤

“Property care” captures more than just cleaning—it includes the thoughtful prep, polishing, and minor fixes that help a home feel welcoming and well-loved. Whether you’re staging to sell or just need a space refreshed, I’m here to help.

Let your listing (or living space) shine ✨

✨ I’ve been hard at work behind the scenes building something I’m incredibly proud of—Misty Hollow HomeWorks, my own home staging and cleaning business! 🖤

As a certified home stager, I specialize in transforming spaces to highlight their full potential and create that instant ‘wow’ factor buyers are looking for.
Why staging? Because it works.

According to the National Association of REALTORS®, 81% of buyers say staging helps them visualize a property as their future home, and staged homes tend to sell faster and for more money.

In today’s market, presentation is everything. Through Misty Hollow HomeWorks, I’m now offering professional staging and cleaning services to help make your listing shine—online and in person.

💡 Already working with a real estate agent? No problem! I’m happy to collaborate and provide staging as a stand-alone service to help boost your home’s appeal and impact.

Whether you're listing soon or just want to refresh your space, let's make it beautiful—and get it SOLD. 🏡✨

⛈️I’ve always loved the rain—watching it, playing in it (when it's warm), listening to it as I fall asleep🌙, and yes… even showing homes in it!

Turns out, I’m not alone. According to the National Association of REALTORS®, rainy days might actually be the best time to tour homes.

Why? Because rain reveals the truth:
✔️ Roof leaks
✔️ Drainage issues
✔️ Gutter problems
✔️ Slippery or flooded walkways

It’s easy to fall in love with a home on a sunny day, but a little gloom can shine a light on potential red flags—saving you stress and money later on.

So don’t let the weather stop you. Bring an umbrella and let’s find the one that holds up rain or shine! ☔

Real estate pros say many buyers may be tempted to cancel a home tour due to nasty weather, but here’s why they shouldn’t.
