Introduction

5-Star Real Estate Award Winner from The Sacramento Magazine for the last 14 consecutive years! (Client Nominated Award) I provide Real Estate Services, on-site Project Management Service, and Home Staging.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

If I am your Realtor and list your home I will provide "FREE" Staging. Otherwise, if your home is vacant and you just need staging my pricing is: Partial Staging starts at $500-$1,000. Full Staging starts at $1,500-$3,000 (Depending upon the size of the home.) This includes entranceway, kitchen, bar area, living room, dining room, family room, all bathrooms, hallways, fireplace mantel etc.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I offer "FREE" complimentary consultation. Where I can come to your home and we can meet and discuss my services that would be the best fit for you.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I've been in business for over 14 years and have my Real Estate license. All 14 years I've received the prestigious 5-Star Real Estate Award in the Sacramento Magazine. Also, I have worked as a Project Manager for clients that flip homes and/or previous tenants have left their rental in horrific conditions. Then, I Supervise the Rehab of a home. I have a team of workers that I bring in such as: contractors, painters, flooring installers, roofers, landscapers, handymen, Etc. I get all estimates for the owner's and supervise all work to the owner's satisfaction. Once completed I provide staging, professional photography and list your home for top dollar!

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I started with Real Estate when I purchased 2 condos in Huntington Beach. They were in horrific condition! I had to basically"gut them!" Then, I hired all the necessary crew of workers; after that, I bought furniture, staged them and turned them into gorgeous vacation homes! This was back in 2005.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I've worked with Buyer's, Seller's, Investors/Flippers. Anyone involved in Real Estate.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Actually, I just finished up a big project last week! These investors live in the East Bay and met me at my listing in Elk Grove. I was conducting an Open House at the time. They told me that the tenants had just vacated their home and left it in shambles! My husband called It, "The House of Horrors!" I was hired as the Project Manager to basically do a complete remodel from top to bottom. After that; I did my beautiful staging and wow, you would not even recognize the home! This project took me about 6 weeks.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Get your due diligence done upfront. You want to get their estimate for their services upfront so there are no surprises.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

Their short term goals and long term goals. What are they ultimately wanting to accomplish? What's their budget? Do they have a time frame?
