Robin gave us several suggestions to give the place an updated appearance without spending a fortune on major design changes. She used what existing furniture we had available and brought in a few of her design elements and it brought the place to life. When we walked in after she worked her magic we were blown away! The house photographed nicely and was only on the market for 3 days before we had several offers and we are closing next week. I highly recommend using her service to help move your property! **★★★★★ — Jake Fortner, Jan. 2026** > Robin helped stage a condo that I was putting up for sale in Royal Oak. She was quick to respond, easy to work with, and undoubtedly helped me in finding a buyer within the first 2 weeks. My listing was up against competition within the same condo complex and definitely stood out as the best option available. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much, Jake! I appreciate the glowing accolades. It was great working with you and your clients. I'm so happy you got a solid offer and sold within the first 2 weeks on the market (especially since there was another condo in the same complex with the same floor plan and the same asking price! And it is still sitting there now 90+ days later). I wish your clients all the best as they move on to their dream home! **★★★★★ — Mary ellen Mazurek, Dec. 2025** > Robin Alley was recommended by our realtor. She was to stage our house for a photo shoot and open houses. > She did an excellent job. Robin took her work seriously. She had us remove certain pieces of furniture the created a larger space. When she was done the house looked like a room out of a magazine. She also provided props to accent the space. I highly recommend her services. In addition to being good at her craft, Robin is very personable and willing to listen to your ideas. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much, Mary! I truly appreciate the accolades. You and your husband were great to work with as you completed all your "homework" before I arrived. I really enjoyed staging your home as there were a lot of nice features, we just needed to show them off! Congratulations on getting a solid offer and selling before the year is out. I wish you all the best as you move on to this next chapter of your journey and wish you and your family a Happy New Year! **★★★★★ — HU-8355164, Sept. 2025** > Robin was very easy to work with, extremely professional and organized. I loved the staging items she brought in as well as assisting us in setting up our house for the on-line pictures. Many of the showing comments for our house mentioned how well the house showed. We appreciated Robin’s expertise that helped us sell our home and would highly recommend her. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much Colleen for the glowing accolades! You and Chris were great to work with and I appreciate that you had all your "homework" done before I arrived on Staging and Photos Day. It made my job so much easier and it was fun to stage your home as you had prepared a blank canvas for me to work with. I'm so glad everything went well with the sale of the home. I wish you both the best as you move out of state and on to this next chapter in your journey. **★★★★★ — Jill Speed, Oct. 2024** > Robin was brought into our home to assist with the staging and preparation of listing our home on the housing market. I will admit I was a bit skeptical at first. No one wants to hear someone make recommendations on what to differently inside your home. However, Robin was very kind and professional. With her less is more philosophy, we transformed our home into a sophisticated retreat and received 5 offers within a month's period of time. We would highly recommend working with Robin as she Sets the Stage for you. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much Jill for your kind words. I truly do appreciate it. You guys were wonderful to work with. You had a very beautiful home and yard, we just needed to show everything off. I am so thrilled you guys got 5 fabulous offers in the first few weeks and ultimately went with an incredible offer! Congratulations! I wish you and your family all the best as you move on to this next chapter of your journey. **★★★★★ — HU-376067433, Oct. 2024** > We recently had the pleasure of working with Robin from Robin Sets the Stage, and we couldn’t be happier with the results! Robin not only staged our home beautifully but also provided thoughtful suggestions on how to best use our existing items before the photography session. > > Her guidance was invaluable, and she made the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Robin was incredibly easy to work with—her positive energy, fun personality, and hopeful outlook really put us at ease. She took the time to understand our needs and used our space and belongings in a way that highlighted the best features of our home. > > If you’re looking for a home stager who is both professional and personable, we highly recommend Robin. She truly sets the stage! **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much, Margaret! I really appreciate all the positive feedback. You guys were great to work with and had such a beautiful home. We just needed to show off all the fantastic features! I'm so happy you guys got a couple great offers right out of the gate and went pending so quickly! I wish you and your family all the best as you move on to this next chapter of your journey. **★★★★★ — mbaileyrn, Oct. 2024** > Robin truly did Set The Stage at my Rochester condo. We are different from her typical clients as we no longer lived in the home and had "estate sale-ed" most of the dated furniture. Robin helped me choose a few perfect pieces to keep and a few to eliminate. Robin then brought the most perfect accessories and pictures. She made our vacant home look warm and welcoming and told a story any buyer would fall in love with. We listed our home on Tuesday afternoon, it sold for full price on Friday!!! there were 4 other homes in the sub for sale for thousands less yet buyers lined up to tour our place and we had numerous offers. Staging works! I can't thank Robin enough. Her prices were fair and she was able to fit into our very tight timeline. Robin was great to work with and reliable. I would hire her again. She did an amazing job. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you Mellissa for the glowing accolades! I truly appreciate the great feedback. You did an awesome job giving the condo a few needed updates - we just needed to show them off! You were wonderful to work with - taking my recommendations and preparing the condo for staging. I'm so happy you received multiple offers within a day on the market and sold for full asking price 3 days later! **★★★★★ — Lucy Opris, Aug. 2024** > Robin was great to work with. She was professional and non-judgmental. She staged my home beautifully and worked with what I had and the style of my home. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much for the kind words, Lucy. I truly appreciate them. You were wonderful to work with. You had a beautiful home, we just needed to show off all the great features. I'm so glad you got a fabulous offer and sold quickly. I wish you and your family all the best as you move out of state and on to this next chapter of your journey. **★★★★★ — L Veeser, July 2024** > Robin was a very important part of the sale of my parents’ home. Her staging ideas and additions were very impactful and led to a quick sale. She was professional and thoughtful. I would suggest her without hesitation. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much Linda for the glowing accolades. I really do appreciate it. Your parents had a nice classic home with good bones, we just needed to show it off. I'm so glad their home sold for over asking price in a short amount of time. I wish them all the best in their new place in this next chapter of their journey. **★★★★★ — Terry & Jackie Grabinski, June 2024** > Robin was very personable and professional. Robin came in and made our house look amazing. I believe that she helped our house sell as quick as it did. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thank you so much! You guys were great to work with. You had a really nice home, we just needed to show it off. Thanks for doing all your "homework" that I gave you after the Staging Consultation. You did an amazing amount of work in a short time. You made my job of staging your home really easy and very fun! Congratulations on getting so many amazing offers for way over asking price the first couple days on the market! That is fantastic. So glad it went pending and sold so quickly. I wish you and your family all the best as you move on to your new home. **★★★★★ — Jamie, May 2024** > I worked with Robin as part of my home listing. She walked through the house with me and gave me a list of recommendations by room. She had a few suggestions of ways to re arrange the furniture and rooms that I would not have thought of. Right before listing the house, she came through and did a final walk through and adjustment of items, and even brought some of her own items to help with the staging. The house was fabulous when she was done. Listing pictures looked great with her help, and I would not hesitate to use her again. I'd recommend her for home staging but also any sort of design project as well. **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thanks so much Jamie for the glowing accolades! I truly appreciate it. You were great to work with and had a beautiful home. We just needed to show it off and the purpose of each room. I'm so thrilled that you guys received multiple offers and for way over asking price and on great terms too! I wish you all the best as you pack up and move out of state and on to your next adventure. **★★★★★ — Maggie Linnell, May 2024** > Robin is a true professional and treats your home with the utmost respect! She staged mine and I had a ton of showings! She has an eye for detail that should be on the home network! Anyone selling their home really needs Robin's services for staging your home to SELL! **Comment from Robin Sets The Stage:** > Thanks so much Maggie! I truly appreciate your feedback. You had a beautiful lake home that just needed to be shown off! I loved working with you and a lot of your beautiful items that I was able to incorporate into the staging. By adding a few of my own decorative items, your house truly did shine! I'm so glad you had so many showings in the first week and got several great offers right out of the gate. Wishing you all the best as you move on to this next chapter of your journey. ## Selected projects - [Royal Oak, MI Occupied High Rise Condo](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/royal-oak-mi-occupied-high-rise-condo-pj-vj~7782473) - Location: Royal Oak, MI - Photos: 8 - [Rochester Occupied Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/rochester-occupied-home-staging-pj-vj~6602221) - Location: Rochester, MI - Photos: 40 - [Clarkston Occupied Home Staging 2](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/clarkston-occupied-home-staging-2-pj-vj~2767744) - Location: Clarkston, MI - Photos: 81 - Description: This was a large beautiful home with a finished basement that needed some tweaking.

I was brought in by the second realtor to stage it. The homeowners didn't want to spend any money on major projects to update the home. So I had to work my magic to update and freshen the home with very little money and time. We removed dated window treatments and a few outdated light fixtures and painted a couple rooms.
