Michele Nowak with Moving By Design Home Staging
Moving by Design will stage your home to look its absolute best to be put on the market. Staging is not expensive! I can provide you with a detailed plan to do it yourself, or I can do the staging for you. For staging vacant homes, I have my own furniture, art, and accessory inventory, which allows me to offer significant savings over furniture rental companies. It is a fact that staged homes sell 50% faster and for 6%-10% more money on average, so a small investment in staging can pay for itself many times over. It is my goal to provide you with the highest level of service and exceed your expectations.
