Her Designer is very talented, really transforms a boring, cold, bland space into a cozy home for potential Buyers - huge difference. A difference that means, faster under contract and more money in seller's (and your's) pocket. I've been with my real estate company for 34 years and it took me 30 to find the best staging company, easy contracts, and no surprise fees. **★★★★★ — Tom Z, Nov. 2024** > So, I was new to staging a home getting ready for sale. Then, I found Jen and from the first time we met she walked me thru the entire process > and made everything such an easy transformation. I loved the work she did and so did the new buyers, the house was only on market for 10 days! > Very Impressive work !! I will be using her again in 2 weeks for my new house. If you want to sell your home , call her ! Thnx again Jen **★★★★★ — Romie White, Oct. 2022** > Jan was amazing to work with! She gave the most inclusive vision for our property at the best rate for what we were wanting to accomplish. The property was a high end condo in Milton where there were other similar options we were competing with. We sold first at the highest price compared to the similar units that were not staged by Jan. She also was very accommodating with our challenging schedules and had great communication. I will be using her aging. Thank you Jan! **★★★★★ — Nichole Gaunt, April 2022** > Jan from Designed to Sell Staging did a wonderful job staging my listing. She knew exactly how to showcase this home and attract interest. The seller had doubt initially and she reassured him with the selection of furniture, placement and design. I received many compliments from the showing and know other agents will be reaching out. Thank you for making this listing shine. **★★★★★ — Nelson F, March 2022** > I had the pleasure of working with Jan to stage our home before selling this past month. Our home was not the most decorated so we knew we’d need some help to really sell the potential of it to buyers.

Would recommend using her services for any seller in the market! **★★★★★ — Diane Schram, Sept. 2021** > Selling our home was so stressful... Jan completely took the stress out of the staging process. She worked to understand our goals and how our current design scheme could work into the look of the home. Furniture and decor items are high end and gave a classy quality look to our home. Her prices are very fair. It has been a pleasure to work with Jan and her team. **★★★★★ — Ann Brashears, June 2021** > Jan came in with a plan to take a large, empty house and make it warm, inviting and highlighting the natural light. She was easy to work with and no doubt helped to sell. The photos, after her staging was completed, look like they could be in any magazine. I recommend her service and will definitely use her again. **Comment from Designed to Sell Staging:** > Thanks Ann. It was a pleasure working with you as well. Your listing was a gorgeous home and I loved transforming it into a home buyers couldn't resist.

Her communication and follow up was a bonus! **Comment from Designed to Sell Staging:** > Thanks Kristy! It was my pleasure to work with such a beautiful home.

Even though we painted the interior and cleaned it thoroughly, it was 2-demonsional, blank slate. We hired Designed to Sell who quickly and professionally added perspective and color so potential buyer could better understand room size, living spaces and see themselves living there. They did a remarkable job and the house went into contract within a couple weeks. **Comment from Designed to Sell Staging:** > I'm so glad I could help you get your house Staged and SOLD! **★★★★★ — LChandler Park Loft Staging, Aug. 2020** > Jan did a great job staging a loft I was listing in Candler Park!
