Affectionately known as “Big Betsy”, our delivery truck joined the team in 2017. She is hardworking, trustworthy and reliable. She’s had a few scuffs and scratches since coming aboard, however, she takes it all in stride. I don’t know what we would do without her!

How To Stage a House:
A Room By Room Guide
"Creating a soothing sanctuary. The master bedroom is where we spend 1/3 of our lives, so why not make sure it looks soothing, clean, and stylish. Add solid white bedding (avoiding busy patterns) and layered pillows while removing excess furniture and clutter. A well-staged master bedroom helps showcase an inviting and calming feel for prospective buyers, making someone feel like they can move right in." – Step By Stage Interiors

This was worth every penny! They were so easy to work with, responsive and professional every step of the way. They turned my Moms house into a modern, luxurious home. We definitely attracted the right buyers and her home sold for over asking price. If ever needed, I will definitely use them again.

Excellent company and very professional! If you are considering staging your home this is the company to use. I sold my home in two days and had over 50 showings with 22 offers. There is no way I would've had the interest or traffic I received without the staging. Well worth the time and effort!

Anne and her team did an amazing staging job at my home in Northeast Lakeland. We received a cash offer for 20% over the appraised value (our full asking price) in about 3 days. They were extremely quick getting in and out and were a pleasure to work with. I would recommend them to anyone selling a home.
