“My seller felt overwhelmed at even the thought of preparing her home for sale. It’s so hard to know where to begin after living in a house for 20+ years and raising 4 children there!

I had heard of Susan Atwell’s staging services, but I had never spoken to her or had firsthand experience with her work. From my first conversation with Susan, I felt she would work well with my client. Her method of working with the client—first with a hands-on session, walking through the house room-by-room, and spending time together, then making decisions regarding what to keep, what to remove, and how to present a welcoming feeling for buyers—is what we were looking for. Especially because Susan collaborates with the seller to figure out how to use as much as possible of what already exists in the home.

I knew this approach would help my client relax about the task ahead and feel confident that she had good support from Susan.

When the day arrived for the photographs to be taken, before placing the house on the market, I was again impressed with Susan’s support. She greeted me at the door that morning, immediately after helping my seller with last-minute prep for the photos!

When I stepped inside, I was completely amazed with the transformation that had taken place!

By the time the photo session was over, I had decided to list the home for 100K more than I had originally planned.

The house sold quickly and for 50K more than my original estimate.

My client was so pleased with Susan that she is using her services to set up her new home!”

“I knew I wanted help figuring out how to stage our home for sale, but I was concerned about what it would be like to work with a stager.

Hoping to find someone who was low-key, nonjudgmental, and willing to work with what we already owned was key for me.

I turned to our Realtor for help. She recommended Susan Atwell, and I couldn’t have been more thrilled to work with her!

Susan has an incredible eye and a rare talent for paring down, rearranging, and sometimes changing colors to make a tired-looking room come to life and appeal to potential buyers.

Her methodical approach made a potentially daunting task streamlined, manageable, and even fun!

Throughout the process, she was always available to answer questions, ease my anxiety with tasks such as picking paint colors, and even accompanied me to help make the necessary purchases to complete our transformation. The end result was remarkable!

In addition, Susan provided invaluable advice on how to manage the showing process while we continued to live in our home. Not an easy task, but by following her checklist to the letter, we could be ready for a showing on a moment’s notice and in relative calm.

My time spent with Susan was the best investment we made in getting ready to sell our home. I couldn’t imagine having done it without her sound advice and guidance!”
