"My husband and I had a property located in Fort Worth that had been on the market for over 6 months. We were out of state owners, and could not really feel comfortable about how much attention was spent on the property. We decided to change agents, and our new agent suggested we get the property "staged". We have sold numerous properties in the past, never having to stage them, and were a bit skeptical.
Tessa talked to us over the phone, sending pictures of properties she had worked on and told us what she could do for us. After giving us the cost- which we were pleasantly surprised! - We decided to move forward.
Our home had over 20 showings the first month we put it back on the market, and sold within 1 month!! We were not only thrilled, but shocked with the amount of traffic the property generated, and the pictures she sent us of the property were beautiful.
We would highly recommend Hampton Redesign. We would like to thank Tessa and Hampton Redesign for helping make this sale effortless. "

Professional Home Staging is a very cost effective way of getting the most for your home in any market. Why reduce the price first? The cost of staging is much less than a price reduction and can be deducted from any sales gain.

Staging a home for sale takes an expert. It takes more than simply de-cluttering and cleaning. Creating the "model home" look is much easier using a professional who stages homes every day.
