Testimonials
A sampling of what satisfied clients have to say...
“Wanted to let you know that we got a really great cash offer for the house! The buyers even wanted to buy the rugs and some of the furniture. Thank you so much for your hard work. It was instrumental in getting us the offer so quickly.”
“Successful selling of a property is a collaboration between all the vendors and the sellers. Staging is one of the many resources that I use to get top dollar for my clients. Working with Susan Atwell on this Highland Falls, NY, home was seamless, leaving our sellers extremely satisfied. Multiple offers were received and a sale 16% over asking price was the result of the collaborative effort set forth by all the vendors from home improvements to staging to marketing.”
“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!”
Our broker took one look at our dramatically changed condo and said, “This one is going to go fast!”… and it DID!
We had a string of offers and ultimately sold above asking! All in a remarkably short amount of time. That was the goal we had hoped for and that is exactly what we achieved, and we credit Susan with providing the needed direction to accomplish it!
Of course, we were extremely pleased with the outcome and constantly pointed out to our friends and family how we couldn’t believe how great our place could look and wondered why we had lived with it the way it was for so long!
Realizing this, shortly after we moved into our new townhouse, we decided to ask Susan again for her expertise. Thanks for everything, Susan!
I want to tell you how much I’ve enjoyed working with you, and I’m sure your efforts in these last few months have brought us to the finish line in fine fashion!
I look forward to seeing the professional listing pictures and hope that things will move quickly.
You and my brother make a great team, and I’m excited to see the outcome of all your hard work. Thanks for all your generosity, experience, caring, and time.
“What a difference staging can make!
Recommending Susan of AtWell Staged Home to my clients was one of the best decisions I have ever made! Her expertise and experience with staging beautiful homes like my clients’, quickly and on a budget, were integral parts of the selling process.
Susan was responsive and worked within tight and often uncertain time lines, delivering an extremely desirable product that any agent or home seller would be proud to present and every home buyer would love to call home.
My clients were thrilled with the results Susan achieved and the return on their investment.
“We raised our family of five children in an enormous old Victorian home, gradually accumulating bits and pieces of furniture and a huge collection of possessions. When we decided to sell it, we realized that we needed to do a significant amount of repair work, so we hired Shelley Wells, a construction project manager, to organize and supervise the repairs. Shelley was very efficient and got the repairs sorted in short order, but the house was still packed to the rafters, dark, dingy and disorganized. It was obvious that the next step was to transform our remodeled house into a home that would appeal to potential buyers.
Fortunately, our Realtor recommended that we hire Susan Atwell to take the lead on this part of the job. Susan, with assistance from Shelley and her crew, utterly transformed the house from a randomly furnished, incredibly cluttered dwelling to an elegant, delightful, well-organized and beautifully appointed home. The house became inviting and literally glowed with light. What was so amazing was that Susan accomplished all of this in just two days, using items and furniture we already owned.
Frankly, the transformation was so overwhelming, my husband and I seriously considered taking our home off the market because the beautifully staged spaces were so appealing!
However, we had little time to think about that option because the house sold to the first people to see it. Needless to say, we immediately hired Susan Atwell again to set up our new apartment!”
“You had a good eye for what we needed (and didn’t need) to stage our home to sell quickly. I also appreciated that you were able to stage our house using just my existing furniture and that we only had to buy towels, doormats, pillows, and a throw!
It was a lot of work to stage the house, the cottage, and the outside but well worth the effort because the house looked beautiful, and I’m sure that is why it sold so fast. Thank you!”
What a pleasure to work with Susan! I was the executor of an estate with a condo to sell that had not been touched or upgraded in 35 years.
Susan came in and saw the potential of the place, with its big, beautiful windows and sunlight that shone in from all sides during the day. Replacing the carpeting and giving the interior a fresh coat of paint transformed the unit into a gem.
Decluttering and adding decorator touches throughout, using most furnishings and accessories already in the condo, made such a difference.
In the end, I was tempted to purchase the condo myself, as it gave me such a feeling of “lightness” and “ah” as I walked through the front door and saw the bright, airy living space! The condo had been a diamond in the rough, and Susan brought out its brilliance!
Now that I am designing a new house of my own, Susan is part of the design process. Her insight is invaluable in making a house a home.
“Well, we just finished up with the photographer and our agent Donna. After doing her walk-through her first words were “I LOVE IT! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!” She was ecstatic and said EVERY room looked great.
I said it was really a combination of your guidance and eye for detail, along with Hilde getting everything “clean, clean, clean!”…that really made the difference! So a sense of relief, happiness and a wonderful sense of accomplishment came with proudly showing the house in the best possible light.
Thank you so much again for all of the sound advice, insights, and patience through this process. It was a wonderful, worthwhile journey in getting our house truly ready for sale. We had a lot of fun working with you! You definitely found your specialty/niche, and I hope it continues for many years to come.”
“As a real estate team with decades of experience between us, we know just how important staging is to a listing. We have been recommending Susan to our sellers since 2009 and will continue to do so. She has an extraordinary eye and an innate sense of what appeals to buyers in the current market. She works with sellers using what they already have and within their budget as much as possible. It is always a delight to see the before-and-after photos.
Susan has gone above and beyond quite often, including making arrangements to work remotely on this Poughkeepsie, NY, home during the recent lockdown. The homeowners took her with them room-by-room via a Zoom call and followed her guidance meticulously to get the house ready for sale, which is no easy task with small children. Due to her advice, the house sold within the first listing week with multiple offers.
We cannot stress enough how important Susan’s services have been to us and our clients. Staging makes all the difference when marketing a home and we will continue to turn to AtWell Staged Home for all of our staging needs.”
“I’ve worked with Susan on many listings over the years.
She has a heightened sense of style and a great eye for detail both of which result in a home that photographs well and shows beautifully.
Her staging skills can be counted on to generate multiple showings within the first few days of listing.
Susan is my go-to professional stager.”
“Susan was very helpful throughout the entire process. Her ideas were on point, and our house looked better than it had in years. Her input made our house very marketable and made for a quick sale. We would recommend her without hesitation to people looking to sell their house.”
“Bringing Susan in to stage is always a good idea and a great investment, given the results.
She transformed and prepared this house for sale with a lot of decluttering and reorganizing, especially on the first floor of the home. The sunroom, which was way too crowded, ended up a perfect office and the living and dining rooms were also redone to show off the beautiful hardwood floors.
It was an amazing transformation, and my clients and I could not be happier with the results. There are multiple over-asking offers on the home, and we are convinced that the expert staging is responsible for this outcome.”
“We could not have done it without you. Your suggestions and comments made all the difference. We staged the rooms per your ideas.
A real show stopper was the fireplace—red brick painted white!! Changed the whole look of the room. I just loved it.
The paint colors we chose with you were fabulous. Clean, light, and neutral. This was the biggest difference in the whole scheme of things, and I feel it sold the house. We absolutely loved the way our house looked and wished we had been able to do all the updates and painting (all 16 rooms!) earlier so that we could have enjoyed them even more.
You were great to work with, Susan. I had a good time with you and was in agreement with your thinking.
Staging a house for market is absolutely the way to go. It makes so much sense. You have a great eye and lots of experience, and it shows in the finished product and final results.”
“A challenge made easy. Great communication and a great eye for scale and design. The finished product—a perfectly staged home! My joint projects with Susan always end up with a quick, successful sale for our clients! Thank you, Sue! Let’s do it again soon!”
“I was the second agent to list this home. When it was originally listed, by the first agent, at $730,000, it sat and sat with no offers.
When I was brought in to market the home, I knew it could sell, but it needed staging. I brought in Susan to perform her magic.
The staging was comprehensive, including the repurposing of two rooms and the painting of three.
We ended up selling it fast, through a 6-way bidding war, for $730,000—the exact price my sellers had hoped for when they listed it the first time. Susan did it again!”
“Thanks to Susan’s home staging skills, we received multiple bids and had an accepted offer in the first listing week. Total time, from listing to closing, was an astounding 26 days!
Susan was involved from the beginning and assisted in every aspect of the home’s preparation, right down to helping me pick countertops, flooring, and paint colors.
Empty, most of the rooms in this house appeared to be tiny, a sales-killer. This home would never have sold as quickly, or for as close to asking, without the addition of the appropriate furniture. Susan’s staging made a critical difference in bringing this home to life and helping buyers visualize themselves living in this space.
I have used Susan multiple times for a variety of listings and will continue to refer her. Her staging helps homes look amazing, show well, and sell quickly!”
“It was such a pleasure to see your genius unfold as you transformed the house into a buyers’ dream!! Also, a lot of fun for me!! The final reveal was just fantastic! Seeing the mirrors and pictures hanging really put the bow on the package!
Thank you so much for guiding us through this process, a huge weight was lifted off of us. You are one of a kind, and we are so lucky to have connected with you. Thank you for helping!
Wow, it’s strange not going to the house every weekend to declutter, thanks to you! And we’re so excited about Bret’s huge bid!!!! You had so much to do with it!! You are a blessing and a very special lady!!!”
You are a lifesaver! Selling is so stressful, and the work you did to stage for us, right after we moved, greatly lightened our load. It was truly the one thing about this move that I was not anxious about. Turning the reins over to you was definitely the right thing to do. The house looked incredible, and it got that way without me losing any sleep. Thank you so much! You did an amazing job.
We sold the house to the very first people to see it. Selling your home to someone who sees it just two days after it is listed is awesome. Receiving six offers, three at the full-asking price, is a miracle! Everyone who saw our home raved about how great it looked!
Thank you again…for everything!!
“After one afternoon with you, I was able to put your staging expertise to work and quickly transform my condo to sale-ready. It sold after being on the market for only two weeks, at a price that was nearly $20,000 over the original asking price before we worked your magic. Thank you, Susan!”
“Hiring Susan Atwell to stage 338B Heritage Hills was the best thing I could have recommended to my seller. Susan encouraged him to paint the unit, replace the glass in any windows where the seal had broken, sort and get rid of all the unnecessary stuff, and she coordinated the entire process. When contracts were signed, she then arranged for all the furniture to be removed, leaving the unit ready for the new owners. I could never have sold the unit for as much money as I did without Susan’s professional knowledge, her eye for beauty, and her attention to detail.”
“I can’t believe it actually all got done! Thank you SO much for staying so late to finish the staging—the house truly is gorgeous! Everything went perfectly with the photographer, and he was able to get some really amazing shots. Because of that, we had a crazy number of online views as soon as the listing went live. We had our first showing a few days later, and it lead to an offer, which we accepted. Everyone commented on how beautiful the house was—and that was all you! Thank you again. We greatly appreciate all that you did! We’ll definitely be contacting you again the next time we need to sell a house!”
“Hi Susan,
Your efforts were the catalyst to our selling our home in New Rochelle six year ago. Paul and I moved to Florida, where I began work as a Marketing Director for a real estate entity.
I transitioned to work as a REALTOR three years ago, and continue to read your newsletter.
Keeping up with everything I learned from you, we are in contract to sell our current Florida property in just 34 days on market. The photographer was so impressed with our staging that he asked for permission to put it on his website.
Thank you for everything you taught us about home staging. As a REALTOR, I can honestly say your work is top-notch.
If you are ever visiting Palm Beach County, I would be pleased to host you at a sales meeting or a breakfast and learn.”
“It’s been wonderful getting to know you and working with you over this past year. I really appreciate all you did, your recommendations, money-saving tips, and willingness to focus on the areas of most concern to us. We very much enjoyed living in our refreshed home.
I’ve got great news. We sold our home! If you recall we went on the market February 1. By February 16 we had two parties bidding on the house. That got us just over asking!! We couldn’t be happier!
A year ago, when I searched to find a home stager, one of my top priorities was to find someone who used what people already had in their home. I could see from the before-and-after photos on your website that you fit the bill. Using much of what we already had saved us money and allowed us to invest those savings into higher-return projects like painting.
We learned so much from you. You made the process fun and collaborative. Thank you! We couldn’t be more delighted with the results. It feels like a new house. As one of our neighbors said, “Why do we do this when we’re moving out, we should do it when we’re moving in.” She is so right! Can you help us move into our new home? 
Thank you again for helping us show our home in its best light and generating so much interest in our house.”
“Home stager Susan Atwell is my secret weapon for successful sales and happy home sellers. Minor changes in a home’s appearance can make major differences in its appeal to potential buyers. Susan knows exactly how to use what the home owner already has to transform a home, leading to faster sales and higher sales prices. It’s not unusual for a home seller to be intimidated or nervous at the thought of having a stager in their home, but Susan quickly puts them at ease. In just a few hours she collaborates with the seller for a quick, highly effective, and, more importantly, still livable transformation that everyone, especially buyers, will love.”
“What my homeowners and I appreciate most about Sue is her creative vision and her focus on cost-effective modifications. She has the unique ability to utilize what is readily available in the home and transform my seller’s properties into, what I like to call, the “GEM on the market.” Thank you Sue for another quick and successful sale!”
“I want you to know that [my wife] and I were deeply impressed with the staging of the house—every choice, every placement. Truly outstanding.
Thank you so much for the fantastic job—economical, tasteful, effective.”
“Susan, you did an amazing job transforming our messy house with its existing mismatched furniture into a cozy and chic home. You have great taste and a true talent for home decoration.
It was such a great pleasure working with you to stage our home! I enjoyed the time spent with you very much, and I have learned a lot about decorating from you.
I am waiting for our Realtors’ reactions when they see the home. I know they will be WOWed!
We will need your consultation for our new house. I will talk to you soon.
Thanks again for your super awesome work!”
“Susan,
Received this note from an agent who showed the unit:
“The condo looks so beautiful! Do you know who staged it? Is the furniture available for sale? If my clients decide on it, they may want to purchase the furniture too!”
Nice compliment for you! And I couldn’t agree more. You did a great job putting this all together so quickly for my client. Both the seller and I are thrilled with the results.”
“The place looks great! Makes me want to raise the price! Perhaps there will be a bidding war. Thank you for everything, especially for getting it all done so quickly and at such a reasonable price. I greatly appreciate all your help!”
“Thank you so much!!! After our staging day I was literally exhausted and couldn’t move. Even my ex agreed that it was so worth every penny; he definitely noticed the difference the staging made. My agent was also thrilled—and speechless—when she saw the incredible one-day transformation. I’m excited to say that we got a full-price offer the day the home was listed. We then received a second offer a week later for 11k over asking. OMG! So thank you again so much. I can’t thank you enough and will highly recommend you to everyone I know.”
“Susan, you are worth your weight in gold! We had 4 offers in just the first day the condo was on the market. In the end we received 27k over asking, and I have you to thank for that!! Everybody loved the staging—especially me! I’ve already given your business card to the next-door neighbors. I suggested they call you because “your houses sell” and you are an amazing person to work with. I can’t say thank you enough!! You are Tinkerbell magical!”
“Shortly after listing my house for sale, we moved, leaving it completely empty. After two months on the market and a price reduction, I knew that what it really required was staging. I needed buyers to start seeing the home’s potential and stop seeing all its imperfections.
Susan fitted the entire home with contemporary furniture and made it look warm and inviting.
Susan helped me to see my house from the buyer’s perspective. We implemented all her suggestions, which were quick and inexpensive fixes such as changing light fixtures, paint colors, and bathroom knobs.
The house relisted on a Tuesday, and I received full asking price a week later. Susan was so easy to work with, and we are thrilled with the results!”
“This has been a banner year for me. Susan has greatly contributed to that success. The excitement to stage begins as soon as Sue enters the front door! What a whirlwind, what excitement and transformation. All my properties have had a stellar makeover by Sue, and the results are in. All properties have sold in record time, close to or over asking, and many times we have seen bidding wars gone wild. Thank you, Sue!”
“Susan, Thank you! I had the broker open house today. You got rave reviews and everyone wanted to know, “Who was the stager?” All your design choices, together with the seller’s improvements, made the house look crisp, clean, and new! Your careful choice of staged furniture and placement were spot on – even the grandfather clock!”
“The transformation worked and things are moving fast!
We had a great offer at asking price…before the public open house. Remarkably, the same buyers had seen the house last year and hated it! (This might make a great case study for you.)
You predicted that we would get another offer and we sure did! Higher than the first offer, but the first buyer matched it, so we signed a contract with the first buyer today. They are looking for a fast closing and that works for us.
Great job by you and your team. It was a pleasure working with you, and Judith and I were very impressed with the results! Thank you for your vision and attention to detail.”
“I am a real estate agent and it finally was time to sell MY own home. I had been following Susan Atwell on line for many years and called her in to give me an objective eye as to what I needed to change to get the house sold quickly and to appeal to the most number of buyers. As an agent, I realize that sellers, myself included, do not always see what the public sees.
Sellers remember the day they picked out the new carpeting and wallpaper and how expensive they were… they are reluctant to consider that today’s buyers are no longer into those colors and prints. Susan came in and did a comprehensive survey of my 4500-square-foot home and made suggestions. Together we started the work of making my home “showtime ready.” I also needed help to organize and declutter after raising 4 kids in that home over 25 years.
After shopping, moving, junking, decluttering, and storing, we were able to get my home to market with a buyer within 2 to 3 weeks. Susan was able to call in all the right people to help me do the job in a very short period of time. I would highly recommend Susan to any of my clients.”
Dear Susan,
As Maddie’s realtor and friend of her children, I cannot thank you enough for your professionalism and great eye for design. Your assistance made the difference in achieving a rapid sale at a great sale price. I cannot thank you enough and I know we will be working together again. All the best to you, Dee
It’s funny, but the house had its first offer BEFORE the open house and then got a full asking price offer the day of the open house. I found out they want to buy the house and everything in it. Exactly as it is. Lock, stock & barrel. Nice job! Truly appreciate all your help and flexibility with our very fluid construction schedule. I’m blaming you for the quick sale 😉
“I am so happy with the basement renovation, my updated office space, and new laundry room. It’s so nice to be able to exercise in front of the TV, turn on the fireplace any time of year, close off the laundry area so the sound does not compete with the TV, and just to have such a huge built-in laundry workspace compared to before. Working with you and Andrew (the contractor you recommended), really was a pleasure. Finally, and most important, my daughter absolutely loved the renovated basement! She thoroughly enjoyed all the changes during her summer break from school. My sister was over recently and loved it as well. Can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job you did. I could not have done this by myself. I think it all came together just perfectly!!”
“Hi Susan,
Thank you for EVERYTHING! We had an excellent turnout for the agent tour and public open house. Not only did we have very positive feedback, but I’m excited to say that we also received – and accepted – an offer. The entire house looks great, but the bathroom is especially transformed. The black wainscoting looks amazing! What a major improvement. I wish I had known you 6 years ago. I could have spent more time enjoying these changes. Hope others are inspired to bravely follow your suggestions too.”
“Susan,
We are very happy with the results of your home staging consultation. We feel strongly that your guidance played a pivotal role in the selling of our home. After a frustrating 120 days on the market, our place sold a mere 40 days after we made your recommended changes. There are many things about the selling process that we would do differently if we could do it over again. Our biggest regret is not involving you from the start! Thank you again for your sound advice. We couldn’t have done it without your help!”
“Susan Atwell was an “Angel” to my client who was an out-of-state Heritage Hills condo owner that wished to sell. Susan arranged for the condo to be repainted, choosing appropriate colors, have new carpeting and light fixtures installed, and she also was able to be rid of everything else the owner did not want. She kept enough furniture, artwork and accessories to make the condo eye-catching and attractive to potential buyers. After the condo went to contract, she sent the artwork back to the owner and had everything else removed and taken away promptly. She transformed the condo so well that the owner received a higher price than he would have otherwise gotten. I, as a Realtor, was very proud to handle such an attractive listing!”
“This was an estate sale, and all four children lived out of state. They trusted me to do much of the prep work to market and sell the home. I could not have done it without you and your staff. You were always prompt and kept expenses down for my clients. You made my work much easier and facilitated a quick sale. The clients were very pleased with the outcome.”
“The unit sold the first weekend for 98% of its asking price. It’s due to close in two weeks, which is partly what made the deal so attractive. The quick sale and closing minimize the time my seller would otherwise continue to pay taxes and carrying costs. You should take a good deal of credit for this success, and you can quote me! Thanks again for your good work.”
“The unit looked great!! You did an outstanding job and I know the home owner was so pleased with all your work. She was very excited and thrilled! We had showings immediately which lead to a quick sale. All your hard work showed! I will be referring you to some other clients soon!! I would also love for you to come in to one of our office meetings so I can promote all you do as my sincere thanks! Most of the agents know your work but there are some new agents that would love to meet you.”
“I can always see the difference after Susan has staged one of our listings. It’s almost impossible to look at your own house through the eyes of a potential buyer. Most people wouldn’t consider moving their favorite chair or taking down a sentimental photo or knick-knack.
Susan’s sense of design; spatial relationships, color, and texture plus her experience staging homes to sell sets her apart from decorators and agents who may be pretty good at staging but are limited by their relationship to their client.”
“Well, Susan, it all worked to plan. I was able to enjoy the upgrades while I was living here and they certainly helped when it came to selling. As you know, the home sold for much more than the asking price with seven interested buyers. Thanks for all your help decorating and staging my home. Couldn’t have done it without you!”
“You did a superlative job in bringing out the best of the home. It is scheduled to close on 11/1. We couldn’t have reached this successful conclusion without your insights and support. Thanks again.”
“I am thrilled with my new kitchen! It’s beautiful and functional and turned out better than I ever could have imagined. Thank you so much for all of your help along the way. You were professional and patient, you have good taste and you thought of things I never would have on my own, like opening the wall to the dining room and extending the tile through to the entry. I didn’t realize how many decisions and details were involved in a kitchen remodel, and I’m so thankful for your help and guidance along the way as you made this very large – and sometimes overwhelming project – go smoothly.”
“Just want to thank you for helping us with our Poughkeepsie home. We sold the house about 2 months back. The house was staged very well and you did an awesome job of bringing out the best of our house.After you worked with us on 9/10 we listed our home for sale on 9/23. Four to five parties actually saw the house (not many real buyers in this market). Out of five, two parties made serious offers to buy and one of them finally bought. All of that happened within 3 months. Yes, that’s how impressive you made our house look. You sure were God sent because even we were not expecting to make the sale so fast looking at the market conditions. We also learned so many things from you about decorating homes which we are going to use from now on, amen! Thanks again.”
“My house was on the market for 3 months when my agents recommended staging and brought in Susan from AtWell Staged Home. For 3 hours we rearranged furniture, removed window treatments and re-hung artwork. Susan suggested a few more changes – additional decluttering, grout cleaning, and wallpaper removal – which I promptly took care of over the next week. After taking all of Susan’s advice, the first person that came in after the staging did a “WOW” and bought the house. The whole presentation worked like a charm because the buyers fell in love with the house immediately. The staging experience was more than pleasant. Everyone was cheerful, and I could not resist Susan’s positive presentation of ideas. If I were to do it all again, I would call Susan first.”
“We signed a binder with the first couple that saw our house. We were very pleased with the outcome of the staging and can’t thank Susan enough for her direction. I have also stated more than once to the sales manager at Pulte Homes, of her value to us. Another very satisfied customer.”
“The condo looks great!!!!!! As they say in England I was gob smacked! Wow. Incredible! Great job!! The furniture looks great. I am so excited! Thanks for all your work. Everything worked out 100% GREAT!!!”
“You did a magnificent job. I just walked through the house and I said, ‘Boy, I’d like to buy it myself again.’ Thanks for all the help in staging our vacant house.”
“The condo has sold and the closing is this week. The buyer is actually someone who had seen the home when it first went on the market, but it was priced too high, and you know the condition it was in. She came to the open house we had after the staging and made an offer. Thanks for your help. If we end up buying a new home in the area – and we have any money left over – I’ll call you for decorating help.”
“Susan’s staging skills always bring great results for me and my clients through higher list prices, faster sales, and more offers in less time.
Past clients rave about Susan and how she works. She is fair and tries her best to work with her clients and what they already have. I knew that this home could also benefit from Susan’s staging expertise.
The final results were 8 offers—with the first full-priced offer coming in on the first listing day—and a final cash sale of $151K over asking.
I give a lot of credit for this rapid sale to the staging that was done and the overall presentation and feel of the home. With results like these, I will continue to recommend Susan to all my future sellers.”
Susan Atwell’s staging expertise is amazing! As Realtors with years of experience listing and selling homes of every size and description, we often rely on other top professionals to help provide the best marketing experience for both sellers and buyers. This is especially true for some challenging properties that need additional help. Susan and her talented team transformed this home into a lovely example of North Salem lakeside living. Thank you Susan!!
“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!”
.“Thank you so much for staging our house, Susan! I think the work you did is nothing short of genius!”
Susan assisted in transforming and staging an inherited two-bedroom condo. When we started, the home had been unoccupied for more than a year and was not in great shape.
She eliminated the clutter, advised on fresh paint and fixes, reorganized existing furniture, and added a few new pieces and coverings that made an incredible difference. It looked so inviting that I was tempted to take it off of the market and keep it for myself.
Susan is a pleasure to work with, hardworking, and she got things done so that we were able to sell our unit for far more than we initially thought. Highly recommended without any reservations.
“My husband and I didn’t think we needed a stager to sell our house. We thought that all we needed to do was declutter. With Susan’s expert advice and guidance, not only did we declutter, but we also managed to showcase the beauty of our 95-year-old colonial by picking a few key pieces of our own furniture and positioning them in strategic areas around our house.
Simple tips had a huge impact on the appearance of our home. For example, removing curtains showed off all the light coming from our windows which made our house look bigger. Susan also helped us pick just the right neutral colors for our walls. It was invaluable to see our home from another perspective!
We received offers within 48 hours of listing and we closed within the week of our initial listing. We’re sure the staging of our home is what helped to sell our house quickly!
We truly appreciated Susan’s expertise, hard work, work ethic, and patience throughout the whole process!
Thank you again for all your help, Susan, and for making it possible for us to enjoy the process of staging our home for sale!”
I recommended that the executor hire Susan to stage the unit before I put it on Multiple Listing, and as I knew she would, Susan did a fantastic job.
Susan arranged for the unit (a 1-bedroom Guilford Model) to be thoroughly cleaned, painted, sorted, and to remove everything she did not need to decorate and stage the unit. She did a fabulous job.
The day before it was to go on MLS, I showed it to a customer of mine and she offered full price, all cash. The buyer was thrilled with Susan’s efforts, and the executor was very happy that I raised the price considerably after the unit was staged.
As the Listing and Selling Agent, I was very happy that I brought about this successful transaction.
“This is my second time consulting and employing Atwell Staged Home. I have also recently consulted with Susan on selecting paint colors, furniture placement, and new furniture purchases for my new home. Having Susan’s help in my new home has helped me to avoid making costly mistakes such as picking the wrong paint colors, the wrong size furniture, and keeping styles cohesive.
I love Susan….She’s honest, talented, hardworking and one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.
In staging my Yonkers home, she incorporated a lot of my own furniture. And in both homes Susan staged, I discovered that the buyers kept to her color palette and furniture placement…and that says a ton to me!!
My Yonkers home was on the market 5 days with 7 offers—4 full-price offers, 2 over asking, and one just a smidge under. The first day alone we had 2 offers. Susan’s staging is key to selling quickly and for the most money.
I once thought staging wasn’t necessary, BUT I have quickly learned it is KEY in selling. Susan succeeds in being cost effective, and her fees are quite reasonable. I’ve said this before about her, she’s Tinkerbell magical and worth her weight in gold. I look forward to working with her in the future!!!”
“Susan has helped my clients many times over the years. I depend on her to transform a home and stage it to sell. I have a tremendous amount of respect for her remarkable work and the highest level of confidence in recommending her. She has an eye for detail and is a tireless worker…she gets it done quickly!
The owners of this beautiful Colonial needed Susan’s advice on decluttering and moving items around. When we finished implementing Susan’s ideas, my clients and I were completely bowled over by the results! We had multiple offers as soon as we put the home on the market. It’s so rewarding to know that I can recommend someone who will reliably provide direction that the sellers appreciate, an experience they will enjoy, and results that will wow them!
The sellers were only too happy to follow Susan’s suggestions, and they were extremely pleased with the outcome. It was like a different house when it was all done! Thank you to the sellers, Bill and Hilde, for having confidence in utilizing Susan’s expertise, knowing they would be the ones to benefit from it.
Thank you, Susan…you know I will always recommend you!”
“Susan is worth every penny! I just finished my initial consultation with Susan. She spent 4 hours (which just flew by) going through EVERY room, section and closet in our house. She has already saved us days of time from doing things which we thought were a good idea to do but really were not needed AND provided so many ideas and insights about what to really focus on to get this house ready for sale (which of course is not trivial and added many more days to what we need to do! LOL). We now have laserlike direction and focus on what needs to be done and feel more in control of how to address it. Susan is also a great listener and always makes you immediately feel comfortable working with her. I know she will be there to support us throughout the process.”
“We are so happy our Realtors referred us to Susan for staging! With three kids at home, our house looked very “lived-in” but not very sellable. Selling a house in the early pandemic period made everything a bit more challenging, including Susan’s not being able to see the house in-person. With the help of some photographs, a video tour, a video call, and later, one socially distanced in-person visit, Susan was able to safely give us the knowledge we needed to make the house shine. With her help, we had many, many people interested as soon as it was listed and ended up accepting an offer within the first week of being on the market!
As we were looking for houses to purchase after selling ours, it was quite evident which homes had not been staged, because our attention was drawn toward the “stuff” and away from the house itself. Susan was a true joy to work with and was always readily available for anything we needed. Her knowledge and expertise are outstanding! Highly recommend!”
“Thank you for your support in getting us through this journey and for all you did to help beautify our home. You went the extra mile, and your help and suggestions were greatly appreciated.
Change is hard for most people, and in the end you made it even harder for us to leave our stunning, updated house. We almost hated to sell!
How fortunate for us that we were able to sell quickly to people who love the house. The staging was key. You made the difference between a long, stressful sale and a quick, profitable one. Now we need you in our new home.”
“With a sizable house and plenty to do to prep for the market, Susan accepted the challenge. In the end, the results are what I call the “Gem on the Market.” My goal as a listing agent is to WOW potential buyers, and Sue created that WOW factor. Thanks again, Sue.”
“We cannot tell you how much we appreciated all your help. It truly made a difference—and still does—as we use your staging tips and ideas in our new home.
It was a far-reaching and eye-opening experience, to be moving and relocating after almost 20 years, and you, Laura, and Todd made a stressful time so much easier.
What I greatly appreciated was your ability to use what we had in our home to give it a fresh new look, your vision and creativity, and your ability to see things through the eyes of a potential buyer. These are all great assets.
Most of all, you gave a fresh feel to a house that was very much in need of one, and buyers responded better than I could have expected. We sold our house more quickly than I expected, and to a wonderful family.
After this experience, we would definitely recommend using a home stager to anyone selling their home. It gives you, the seller, a whole new way to look at your home, and the investment is surely well worth it. Thank you for everything.”
“The best investment I made toward selling my home was hiring AtWell Staged Home. I know Susan and her team were instrumental in getting my home ready for the market.
Susan was a pleasure to work with and the kind of professional you always want to have in your back pocket. She was very responsive, always on time, and I knew I could count on her every step of the way.
I knew my home would be difficult to sell, but her suggestions were spot-on. She saved me money by using some of my own furniture and gave it that homey touch. She’s also a font of knowledge, with contacts to recommend along every step of the way.
Susan has such a good eye for design that I’ve hired her several times to help me with arranging furniture, color and design in my new home. I don’t make a major move without her.”
“Susan helped us twice under two different sets of circumstances and did a great job both times. First, we decided to swap homes within the same town…The proof of success was that the house sold within a whisker of asking price in less than a week. Susan also helped me with the bigger project of preparing my mother’s house [of 55 years] for sale…a huge endeavor…Susan came in and made a dated home look clean and bright at minimal cost. The house sold in 5 days for essentially asking price. In both experiences, huge improvements were made at minimal cost...We more than recouped her fees even if we only consider the greatly reduced time it took to sell both properties. I would recommend Susan unconditionally, and I don’t say that very often.”
“Though it was bittersweet, our home was terribly underutilized, and it was time for us to downsize! This house had served our family very well for almost 30 years, and we were hopeful another family would love it and make great memories here just as we did!
“Our first big step forward was to hire a savvy real estate agent who advised that we meet with a home stager well in advance of our target listing date. We then met with you in the fall to make a plan for preparing our home for a spring sale. We were so impressed with your suggestions and feedback on our ideas. Your approach saved us time and money because you worked with the furnishings we already owned to show off each room optimally and you recommended against some cosmetic improvements that we were planning to make, which would not have given us a good return on the investment of time or money.
“We loved the results! Our agent said the house was perfectly staged, and he did not change a thing! Also, we received glowing comments from family and friends about how beautifully our house was presented. I am convinced that an independent perspective is indispensable—and yours certainly was! When it’s your own home, you’re just too close to see it through the eyes of a potential buyer.
“We had 6 showings in the first 10 days after the listing and successfully sold much faster than we expected. Thanks again for all your help. I really enjoyed working with you…one perfectionist to another!”
“I thoroughly enjoyed working with you and your assistants. You were clearly knowledgeable, had a vision, and were without a doubt on my side. You saved me money by using my furniture to show off my home’s best features, were willing to get your hands dirty, (not avoidable in my home!), and are well worth every penny!
My home received a full price offer after being on the market for only 3 days! (Compare that with the nearly identical home next door that wasn’t staged and is still on the market after 5 months!)
I know that other factors go into the sale of a home, but during open houses of both homes, I was hearing comments from people that they liked my home better because of the ‘feel.’ I attribute that to YOU, Susan.
Considering carrying costs, worry, and the fire that you lit under my butt to get things done, you were, by far, my BEST INVESTMENT. You were the best part of dealing with my personal tragedy.
Thank YOU again for your assistance, friendship, and expertise in preparing my home for sale.”
“Susan helped bring this home back to life! All her recommendations, work, and staging helped buyers envision this home as their very own and helped pull people in the door. The first impression is always the best impression, and she made sure that this home made a statement!
Our team is so lucky to be working with Susan; not only do our clients love her, but the buyers were impressed with her work as well.
Susan is a professional who makes sure to answer emails and phone calls quickly, handles pressure like a champ, is efficient and has the most AMAZING level of energy! She can handle anything!”
We are thrilled to share that we signed a contract for the sale of our house. While the market is not great in our price range, all you need is one family that can envision your home as their own. The work you did to help us purge/repurpose 30 years of stuff and arrange the rooms to best showcase what our house has to offer was undoubtedly a factor.
I learned a lot from seeing our house through your eyes, and I even enjoyed sliding furniture with you to find the right look for each room.
Also, I see you are doing a series of workshops—kudos to you! I am going to recommend these workshops to my friends.
Thanks so much.
“It takes a person with a rare combination of skills to help someone prepare their beloved home for sale in a limited time and as economically as possible. To do what Susan does requires a combination interior designer, accountant, and project manager. It also requires empathy, something that you don’t learn in school, to help sellers complete the work that needs to be done while simultaneously navigating the emotional roller-coaster that comes with selling their long-time home. This remarkable combination of high-tech and high-touch is why the Gino Bello Homes Sales Team—and our home sellers—love working with Susan Atwell of AtWell Staged Home. The sales team agrees that her work is exactly what buyers are looking for today when purchasing a home, and our sellers consistently tell us how happy they are with Susan’s work, as well as how comfortable they feel working beside her. We greatly appreciate everything she does!”
“Recently, I began a project involving 50 new units in Carmel, NY. My sellers agreed with my suggestion to stage one unit to serve as both a model unit and the centerpiece of an advertising campaign. I needed the help of a professional Home Stager and a colleague referred me to Susan Atwell of Atwell Staged Home.
Susan was very knowledgeable, consistently professional, and just a pleasure to work with. She involved me in all of the major decisions and took the time to teach me a lot about the staging process. This is valuable information that I will share with future sellers.
I thoroughly enjoyed the entire process, which was incredibly effective. In fact, the staging was so beautifully done that the unit sold for asking price even before it was photographed!
I highly recommend Susan to anyone in search of a stager, no matter how big or small their project might be.”
“The results are in again! From the front door entrance, throughout every level, this home was transformed from a diamond in the rough to the “Gem on the Market”. Within 3 days we had a bidding war leading to a final sale of 104% of list price. The staging helps marketing, photos, video, and print look sleek and professional. Thanks again Sue.”
“It was such a pleasure working with you to stage our home. You made extremely effective changes, and we accomplished so much in just 4 hours! We listed the house and had 8 offers over asking in the first week. We can’t believe how quickly it sold and truly believe it was all due to the staging. Thank you so much for your efforts!”
“WOW what a transformation! I had forgotten what it looked like prior to staging. The before-and-after pictures are dramatic. I showed the home to clients today and their constant comment was how great the house looked! Kudos to you! It was a clear reflection on you and the staging done. It was great to work with you. Staging has proven to be such an important part of the selling process, and we hope to do a lot more business with you in the future.”
“Thanks for ALL your good advice regarding staging our home to sell. We received an offer the first day we listed for full asking price. We accepted and a day later received another offer for $5k over that. There was even a 3rd offer a few days after that, but the first buyer had been looking for close to a year in Yorktown so we chose them. I am convinced all the work you helped us with made the difference!”
“I recently sold my house in Millwood, NY. It sold in less than a month, a huge load off of my mind. I had a very good agent, and her best move was encouraging me to let Susan Atwell stage my home.
Susan appeared at exactly the right time with advice on transforming the home for sale. In addition to my to-do list, we agreed that Susan and her assistant would return for a day and do furniture and art rearrangement, etc.
They came and transformed the home quite dramatically—I am still trying to arrange my possessions nearly as well in my new place! I believe that the work Susan did and the knowledge she imparted to me on showing the home properly were crucial to the quick sale. It was money more than well spent.”
“Working with Susan to prepare a home for sale is a fun and rewarding process. She has the rare ability to transform a home just by moving furnishings and accessories around. She may ask the homeowner to make a few small purchases, such as fresh towels for the bathrooms or slip covers for a dated couch, but she has a talent for using only what is in the home and making it look fabulous and inviting.
Susan definitely helps me achieve my goal, getting the homeowners the highest possible price in a timely fashion.
Susan, you’ve got that magic touch!!”
“This home got a lot of attention and went to contract quickly. 12 days to an offer and just 1 day to accept. Buyers and sellers all HAPPY! Thanks!”
“Susan, Your professional help made all the difference! The photos looked great, and we could tell that the house felt more like a home following the staging. And thanks for doing all of this so cost-effectively! After many months with no offers, we received multiple offers within weeks of staging. Thanks so much for all your help!”
“I have so much success with Susan Atwell of AtWell Staged Home. Susan works magic in any house. She sees a home through the eyes of a buyer and always makes the changes that most increase the home’s market appeal.
Susan has staged homes for me at almost no cost to the home owner, by rearranging rooms and furniture, moving or replacing art-work, and painting select walls. She has changed the flow in a beautifully furnished home to make it far more inviting and gone as far as a complete renovation, including selection of a color scheme and renting furniture.
In every case, there is no doubt that Susan is able to get every home she stages for me sold faster and for a higher price.
I am so convinced that Susan makes such a significant difference that I cover the initial 3-hour home staging consultation fee as part of my services as a listing agent.
Susan is the best professional home stager I know. In addition, she is both delightful and a pleasure to work with.”
Hi Susan,
Thank you for the care that you took in making the condo look like it has never looked before. Excellent choices in furnishings, accessories, and the paint selection for the walls is perfect with its soft, warm tone.
The property sold for its list price, and I am convinced that part of the reason for the full price and the relatively quick sale was the staging which was anything but ordinary – great job!!!
Thanks again for everything. Very best,
“I recommended my client stage his almost empty house. The comparable sales showed a wide range in which the home could sell. After Susan’s staging, we had an accepted offer even before the first open house, and at the highest end of that price range. My client and I could not be happier with the process and results. Susan is my go-to Home Stager.”
“We had an open house Sunday and got an offer for the full asking price on Monday. The house had really been on the market for only two days.
Everyone has commented on how nice the house looks. The photographer kept saying, ‘Thank you so much for having the house look this nice. You would not believe some of the messes I have had to shoot around.’
Susan, I know we paid you, but these days I have almost gotten used to not getting everything I think I have paid for. You were a wonderful exception to that trend. Your suggestions made this home literally pop out in the eyes of the agents and prospective buyers. Even those who wanted a center-hall colonial instead commented on how wonderfully the house showed.”
My home appeared more attractive and stood out on the market because of Susan’s work.
My Realtor recommended Susan to help with the staging of a home I was selling in Westchester. Susan did an amazing job of explaining the process, and quickly simplified the elements that she thought would have maximum impact on a prospective buyer, to help him get a vision for what the home could be when designed and furnished. She coordinated virtually every detail, including arranging for some furniture to be brought into the home to show off some of its best features.
The photos were terrific, and the feedback from prospective buyers who toured the home was very positive. It sold quickly, in no small part due to Susan’s expertise.
I would highly recommend her. She is professional, talented, and she made the process easy.
Susan,
You are a genius. Truly, I am grateful beyond words for your dedication, eye for detail, kindness, patience, and flexibility.
Your work is a masterpiece, and I am so grateful that you created such a perfect “look” for the condo. We’ve received lots of compliments, and those belong to you. Perhaps the greatest accolade came from our very own Realtor who recommended we go with the higher end price based on how well the home shows.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! The place looks and feels so good that I want to move in.
Please use me as a reference as needed. You do great work and provide phenomenal service. I have only good things to say.
From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU!
Susan listened to our ideas and improved upon them, making our home look better than we ever imagined. Susan also worked with us to make this transformation affordable, using our existing furnishings and artwork wherever possible.
From the repositioning of knickknacks to rearranging furniture, Susan knew how to make every room “pop” and allow buyers to visualize themselves living in these spaces.
We received numerous comments from buyers and brokers alike, congratulating us on how well our house showed. Susan’s staging definitely helped us get the best deal possible. I would enthusiastically recommend Susan’s services to others. In fact, I have already done so!
“Hi Susan,
We so appreciate all that you have done to assist us in the sale of our old house in Katonah and in making our new abode so beautiful and warm. We love working with you and always have lots of laughs while benefiting from your expert advice. The results of the basement entertainment area are incredible and speak so well of your talents. You are a consummate professional with an exquisite eye for detail (an absolute maverick at your trade). Also, you never lose sight of your customers’ budgetary needs. In summary, you are a delight to work with and we wish you continued success!”
“The house sold very quickly. The couple that bought it had been looking in Carmel for a while and they saw it the first week that we listed it. It took a little while to negotiate, but we closed in less than three months. I appreciate all your hard work. It made a tremendous difference in how the house showed.”
“Susan,
Thanks for the great work. I really appreciate all you’ve done, and how well you do it. Everyone is delighted with the before-and-after pictures. And thanks for your efforts to keep the total cost down; much appreciated. You did a great job (and I would be delighted to serve as a reference). Thanks!”
“I now know firsthand that you are an excellent captain of the ‘Sale’ boat (ooh see what I did there hahahaha). Closed on my house last week.
You made it happen!
It was a bumpy road, but we ultimately sold to the people who made their offer within the first 48 hours that the house was listed. (In between, of course, we drafted contracts for the second-offer buyers–made within one week of listing–because they were higher, but it turned out that they had a difficult time retrieving their funds from the OTHER house they were already in contract with…so the second-offer people didn’t work out. But luckily, the first-offer people hadn’t had time to go far, and they were still very interested, so it all worked out in the end.)
Looking at the ‘before’ pictures – what a credit to your vision. Distanced from it now, it’s even more impressive that you could see beyond the RIDICULOUS amount of stuff that was strewn about the house. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
“From the first time Susan and I worked together to stage a small 2-bedroom home in Shenorock, I knew we made a great team. Since then, I strongly encourage all my home sellers to stage their homes because every home can benefit from Susan’s expertise. Susan’s staging helps these homes show better, sell for more, and get on the market sooner. I love getting hands-on in the process and seeing how quickly Susan can transform a home, often in just a few hours. This experience has turned me into a huge believer in home staging after so many quick sales and satisfied clients.”
“Thanks for all your help staging my condo. I want you to be aware that I received more than $25,000 over the Realtors’ recommended listing price and $11,000 over the actual listing price on my Condo and had multiple cash offers within 7 days of the listing (within $1K of each other). Your help made the difference. You have a real talent! I have two friends to whom I am sending your newsletter who are interested in your services. I may request some professional assistance with arrangements once I relocate – so store those images in your head!”
“Susan, Thank you again for all your guidance with our house. The closing was last week. The house is sold. I cannot thank you enough. I am certain it would still be on the market were it not for your help with staging. (In fact, many of the homes that were on the market when we were selling are still for sale!!) So many thanks again!!”
“Dear Susan, As a local real estate salesperson, I recommended you to a client of mine who was preparing to sell her condominium in Heritage Hills. My client was extremely pleased with your expertise in helping her rearrange furniture, organize, and the makeover was complete in a short period of time. She was so satisfied with the end results and her home sold very quickly! I recently moved to Heritage Hills and would like to thank you personally for your professional assistance. The before-and-after pictures tell the story!!! Thank you, an amazing job!”
“Dear Susan, There are not enough words to say how much I love my new space. Thank you for your patience, guidance and good humor through it all.”
“This wasn’t the first time we tried to sell our home, so we were open to new ideas. One of those ideas – suggested by our agents – was home staging. At first I was a little hesitant. To be honest, the idea of someone coming through my home and critiquing it made me a bit nervous and uncomfortable. But Susan dispelled all those fears and made me feel totally at ease. (The fact that she kept telling me I had good taste didn’t hurt either!) After all the staging was done, I wondered why I had ever been nervous. It was a lot of work, but overall the experience was enjoyable. And now I’m looking forward to buying a new home – in the area.We already plan to invite Susan to help from day one, so we may enjoy the home to its fullest the entire time we live there, not just when we are getting ready to sell. I also appreciated the fact that Susan used what we already had, and kept expenses to a minimum. After this experience, I would not hesitate to stage and look forward to working with Susan again when we purchase our new home.”
“Just got home and saw the final changes. We love the touches – the artwork, baskets in the living room and blanket on the bed. You and [our agent] are certainly professionals. Now that the place looks so nice, I’m not sure we want to sell….just kidding. You really helped guide us in updating our home to sell. Thanks for everything.”
“We finally sold our home, in no small part, due to your help staging. You were so very helpful. We loved your suggestions, especially for how to convert our home back to a three bedroom from two, without having to complete the rest of our major remodeling plans. It was simple, economical and quick to implement. Thank you for all your help in selling our home. You were wonderful.”
“I’ve worked with Susan three times – first for a bathroom renovation in my prior home; then to stage that home for sale; and most recently, to decorate and renovate the house I moved into. Susan’s attention to detail made a handyman special into an inviting home that reflected my personality. As for my prior home, Susan’s staging expertise moved that property within the first listing week and at a price higher than asking. You can’t beat those results. I’d recommend Susan to anyone looking to sell or just upgrade their home.”
“It was time for a change and I had put off any major renovations for several years. So I asked Susan to advise me on making my home more livable and saleable after learning I might relocate for work. Susan gave me the best options to sell or dwell – without spending a lot. We agreed to paint every room and update the baths and fireplace. Susan explained the choices – due to my color blindness – and chose a palette that was neutral but not bland. She also helped find the best way to organize each room while displaying my favorite personal items. I’m really proud of my home and look forward to showing it off to friends and family. It doesn’t just look good, it feels good. More inviting, modern, bigger. I have no doubt, that when I do finally have to sell, buyers will feel the same. The majority of this transformation took place while I was away on business. I put my trust in Susan and she successfully combined my likes and desires while adding value.”
“Susan advised me on the total renovation of the 1970s home I inherited. My parents had maintained the home well, but it remained stuck in the 70s. The project included the combining of 4 small spaces into one large, bright, open-concept kitchen, 2 complete bath renovations, along with new lighting and flooring throughout.
Susan took into account my lifestyle, budget, and desire to sell in about 5 years. My home is now open and bright. It’s a pleasure to spend time there. My neighbors are envious of this unique design in this cookie-cutter community.”
“Susan – What a pleasure it was to finally meet you. The person behind the miracle makeover. The seller has been praising you since I first spoke to him over the phone and hasn’t stopped yet! When you look at the new listing photos, you’ll see that it hardly looks like the same house.”
“Susan provided my home with a fresh look and perspective on how the house should appear to make it attractive to potential buyers. Her plan was well designed and executed with ease and minimal expense. The outcome was making the house appear more spacious, cheery and bright, with updates that made it more in common with current decorative schemes. Without Susan, my house would still be on the market today.”
