**★★★★★ — Joe Meinking, Nov. 2021**

> I cannot recommend the services of Helpful Home Staging high enough- 5,000 stars is not an option. To begin with I was unsure if the expense of a stager was needed and considered showing my home empty. A few of my friends had used a stager and convinced me of how impactful it can be during the selling process. After about an hour on installation day I became completely convinced of how important this service can be for potential buyers! It truly made my home more appealing than at any point while I was living in the house. The rooms were appropriately furnished, seamlessly flowed between areas and made the whole house feel inviting- I actually considered buying the furniture and keeping the house!  Lisa and the team at Helpful Home Staging were absolute professionals and made the whole process simple from setup to move out.  The designer (Karen) thoughtfully and tastefully furnished the house after just a short visit. My home was just a simple middle of the road bungalow and she nailed the prefect balance by matching the staging with the eventual price point for the home.  The crew worked incredibly efficiently while also being extremely respectful of my property by leaving the home cleaner than they found it. The owner (Lisa) was immediately responsive throughout the entire process and even offered tips based on her experience to make the house even more appealing outside of the staging (paint colors, curtains, etc.). However the most convincing proof of Helpful’s work is the immediate and overwhelming response after listing- I had to cut off the showings after the first day, had a list of offers by the second day and was in contract by the third.  Granted it is a strong market but the fact that other agents took all of her business cards from the counter leads me to believe that the staging was a critical element of the sale.  Again, I cannot recommend Lisa and the team at Helpful Home Staging high enough.

**★★★★★ — cliff hershman, June 2019**

> What a pleasure having Lisa stage our home. First of all, she staged our home beautifully. A large carriage home with eclectic features and she pulled it off for today's buyer. Also, there was never any drama or confusion. Any problem that came up was quickly taken care of. And best of all, our home sold.  I highly recommend Lisa.

**Comment from Helpful Home Staging:**

> Thank you Cliff! I enjoyed working with you and am glad for the successful sale of your home.

**★★★★★ — jmarksz, Nov. 2018**

> Of all the many things we did to prepare our home for sale Staged to Sell was one of the most effective. Our home sold in 3 days.

**★★★★★ — Straight Shooter, Nov. 2018**

> Lisa is a true Pro. She offers a valuable service to home sellers. It surprises me that more home sellers don't bother with staging, or terrific professional photos, for that matter. Thanks Lisa for sticking to your guns, with this valuable service!

**★★★★★ — HU-7059254, Nov. 2018**

> Help pull together the entire home for a cohesive  flow. We will diffinatly be calling her in the early stages of rehab for color design in our next one.

**★★★★★ — Mona McCowen, Nov. 2017**

> Lisa helped to transform our home prior to sell and we were able to sell extremely quickly at full price.  Her suggestions were absolutely innovative and interesting, hit the target for drama and elegance, and really did sell the home, in my opinion.  She also helped me with expediting carpet and other remodeling services that I was having trouble getting done quickly and reliably on my own and coordinated affordable professional photography for my listing.  I wish I knew her sooner, as her partnership was priceless and I could really have used her help on other projects.  I actually wish I had talked to her when I first moved in.  I am moving out of a perfect home now!!!

**★★★★★ — Gene Kelly, Sept. 2017**

> Lisa Staged Two Homes for us and BOTH Sold! - These were investment homes (rentals) that were being sold at a loss and so we were on a real budget. We are out of State owners, so it was really hard for us to do anything with the houses. The houses had been rehabbed after the renters moved out, by our contractor so everything was clean and new, but the houses seemed Soul-Less. After more than 6 month of no action we hired Staged to Sell and Lisa worked her magic with-in our budget and all of a sudden we went from no interest to solid offers. Thanks Lisa!!

**★★★★★ — Jane, March 2016**

> Lisa was a delight. She worked within my budget and created a space that finally attracted a buyer! My condo sat empty without any interest for nearly two years.

**★★★★★ — HU-76822, Jan. 2016**

> Staged to Sell Homes completely remodeled and staged my 2-story condominium.
>
> I live out-of-state and inherited an almost 40 year old condo that had never been updated and was owned by a heavy smoker.  Lisa returned my emails and calls promptly, and we set up a time to meet during my next trip to Ohio.
> During our initial consultation, she calmly took what was an overwhelming task for me and came up with a solid plan for what needed to be done to get this home ready to be sold for top dollar.
>
> A couple months later, and with excellent communication all along the way, I was looking at pictures of a gorgeous property that I no longer even recognized!
> Besides the fact that she is so skilled in what she does and knows exactly what catches the attention of buyers, she is just a wonderful person that is so easy to work with.  She also has a large network of excellent contacts that were able to help with other aspects, such as liquidating the home contents and getting it listed.
>
> I highly recommend Staged to Sell Homes!

**★★★★★ — dyan31, March 2015**

> The holiday season is a difficult time to sell a house. However, with the help of Lisa Ciofani Basham we were able to sell our property in just three months. Her work was absolutely beautiful. Having our home staged, rather than letting it sit empty, allowed those who were interested to envision it as their potential home.
>
> Although Lisa and I had little face time, her customer service was great. After explaining our situation, she exemplified her genuine kindness through her effort to help us make this sale. She even said a prayer once she was finished staging the house. I would highly recommend Lisa for anyone trying to sell their home with a quick turn around.

**★★★★★ — cpalm53, Dec. 2014**

> Lisa was creative, responsive, and willing to work with us on a very demanding time line and she treated us with respect and truly cared about the home and partnering with us so we could make the most of the staging.  As sellers who were working against a very tight time frame, she understood our stress and responded calmly and with great kindness.  Staged to Sell Homes & Remodeling, Ltd. set a new standard of professionalism for Staging companies. Lisa is truly the very, very best!

**Comment from Helpful Home Staging:**

> Craig,
> I enjoyed working with  you and your partner from across the continent...you California guys!  I am encouraged by your ability to improve properties and make a profit in spite of the miles! Keep'em com'n!

**★★★★★ — paripper, Dec. 2014**

> Provided a large array of home furnishings for all my rooms and and professionally  accented my home for a spectacular showing.Very prompt service.

**Comment from Helpful Home Staging:**

> Your home was a pleasure to stage...accentuating all of the natural wood and "lodge-like" feel. I'm glad you were Blessed with a fast sale!
