## About

Home Staging is the art of preparing a property for sale in the marketplace through Visual Marketing strategies. We can look at your home objectively and showcase the selling features. Our goal is to make your property appeal to the highest number of potential buyers, so that it sells more swiftly and for more money.

For some, our affordable 2-hour consultation is the way to go. We quickly give you our objective opinion, provide a top-ten list (or less), and spend the majority of our time with you, tweaking what you already have so you can see immediate results. 

Our warehouse is full of up-to-date quality furniture and accessories for enhancements and vacant stagings at any price point.

We also assist new home owners with furniture and art placement. Making sense for the way you live.

**★★★★★ — HU-809142326, Oct. 2024**

> I could not be more pleased or excited to work with Dawn. She has a unique eye for detail and staging that cannot be replicated. Her customer service, joy in what she does, has made my clients beyond comfortable with her expertise. While other listings were on the market for days upon days, Drew came in and got my sellers under contract before them.
> If you want affordable staging for your clients that makes buyers click on the photos, I recommend Dawn!

**★★★★★ — Cathy Bailey Homes, May 2018**

> If you are Selling your home, Staging is a necessity and The WOW Factor should be your
> 1st choice. Dawn staged both a Luxury and Starter home for me this year.  Both sold at above
> List Price and in record time.  My return on investment (ROI) exceeded my family's expectations. Dawn and her team are savvy, creative, experienced and so very nice to work with.  Their work is exceptional but affordable and she is conscientious about meeting all schedule requirements. I highly recommend Dawn and her WOW Factor Team and would not sell a future property without using them.

**Comment from The Wow Factor:**

> Thanks so much for your kind words Cathy. It was such a pleasure working with you. Two great houses. We're not surprised they sold so fast!

**★★★★★ — Gene Mack, May 2018**

> Dawn is FIRE. Wonderful as a person and the best money I spend when selling a home. My go to personally and my go-to recommendation to others.

**Comment from The Wow Factor:**

> Aww, thanks Gene.  We are so pleased that our service is such a help to you! We look forward to assisting with your next project!

**★★★★★ — Tracy Hoggard, May 2018**

> I LOVE the Wow Factor!  I am a REALTOR and this service has helped me serve my clients above and beyond.  I am 100% confident that this quality and level of staging has been crucial in the high sales price every time I use them.  It's worth EVERY penny!

**Comment from The Wow Factor:**

> Thanks so much for your review Tracy.  Working with you to serve your clients is a pleasure!

**★★★★★ — Toni Kemble, Oct. 2017**

> The Wow Factor are the only stagers I use, and I've been using them since 2013.  They are professional, cost efficient, and always get my sellers more money!
