I don't like the term "stager" because Julie's gift is that she is able to walkthrough a home, sense it's personality, and apply her design experience to enhance what is already there. As a result her work doesn't look artificially staged...instead it allows potential buyers to envision living there. Julie's efforts helps me sell houses faster and for more money as a result. **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > Thank you for your insight, Ellen! I truly enjoy working with occupied homes; helping them tell their story. **★★★★ — Lauren Butler, June 2015** > I asked Julia for assistance in properly staging my home for sale. Julia took her time in evaluating my house and property. She reviewed her suggestions with me and followed up promptly with a very detailed email including specific color paints, stores to buy curtains, etc. She was very professional and was right on the mark! Feedback from agents and buyers was very complimentary: Nice use of space and love the paint colors. I will call on Julia again when I move into my new home. **★★★★★ — chillycat, Aug. 2014** > Julia was extremely helpful in transforming my home from one that I couldn't sell to one that sold in a couple of weeks after we relaunched with the changes she recommended. She is easy to work with and responsive to follow up help that you might need to implement her thorough plan. I highly recommend and wish I had used her services to transform my home years ago to enjoy for us and not just to sell! **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > Thank you so much for your very thoughtful review, Casey! Proof that Staging first helps sell homes faster. **★★★★★ — valeriegillies, May 2014** > Julia's work is nothing short of amazing. She staged our 135 year old home, brought out the best of the old while making it absolutely shine. In just a few hours, she had sized it up, and then worked with us to keep costs down and still accomplish our goals. She was flexible and reassuring. I cleared things out and she put them back together in beautiful ways. What she did was so magical, we are going to have her stage our new home before we move into it. A friend of mine asked for her number so she could do the same. The bottom line: our house was under binder 5 days after it went on the market! **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > Valerie: Thank you for your review! Your house was a joy to work with and celebrate everything that's so special about living in a wonderfully updated antique home. **★★★★★ — spee2b, April 2014** > As a real estate investor we hired Julia to stage properties that we've rehabbed in order to help them sell quicker. Since we've used Julie, every house has sold in less than 2 days. Not only does she transform an empty house into a magazine quality interior she also helps with design ideas and color pallets for the entire house. We now call her in on every purchase from day one to assist in the complete design concept for the interior and exterior. She has assisted us in ways to save money and the best way to go about the staging process. Julie is a true professional and a great asset to have on your team, whether is personal or business. **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > What a great team to be on! Thank you for your generous review, Jeff! You have a great eye for transforming unloved properties into welcoming homes. I'm proud to be part of the process! **★★★★★ — EMB Investment Properties, LLC, April 2014** > Awesome!! We are professional Real Estate Investors, we flip houses. Julie stages all our flips and does a wonderful job. Not only is she great to work with she knows just what to do to sell our properties. She does such a great job our houses usually sell in 24-48 hours. We would highly recommend Julie. **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > It is an honor to help showcase the fine work you and your team do, Linda! Thank you for your wonderful review! **★★★★★ — eschiavone, April 2014** > Julia staged a home in Wilton Connecticut that I was listing for one of my investor clients. Not only was the feedback from prospective buyers positive we received a close to full price offer within days of listing the home for sale. Hire Julia if you are looking to sell your home quickly. **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > Thank you so much, Ernie Schiavone! Looking forward to helping others! **★★★★★ — jess1969, Nov. 2013** > Julia was so easy to work with and very professional. She is responsive and cognizant of the emotional aspect of suggestion in someone's home. She transformed my client's home and utilized the space perfectly, handled the entire transaction from furniture delivery to pick up. It was easy for both myself and my client and I have since referred her to numerous clients and have added her to our recommended vendor list on our web site. I wish I could use her on every listing! **Comment from Nestings Home Staging by Julia Vigneron Maher:** > Wow, Thank you Jess! You have amazing clients to work with! **★★★★★ — Judy Cicalese, Aug. 2013** > Julia is a great Stager. I recommended her for a recent home which was vacant and after she staged it, the sellers got an offer within 3 weeks. She did a fantastic job---paying very careful attention to not only the furniture but all the small details and accessories. Great job and will recommend her whenever I can. ## Selected projects - [Main Street, Westport CT Storybook Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/main-street-westport-ct-storybook-home-pj-vj~955649) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - Description: Charming 1920s Storybook home updated and ready for its new family.
