Teresa is AMAZING!  After eight long and excruciating months of being on the market with a realtor who convinced us that staging our home was unnecessary, we decided to trust our instinct and find a stager.   We were fortunate enough to find Teresa at Designed to Show Off.  She not only exceeded all expectations, but was so easy to work with and had wonderful ideas.  There is no question, it was her expertise that got us our first offer within only a few days.  We sold our home at full asking price with multiple offers within two weeks of Teresa working her magic!  Teresa is professional, knowledgeable, and very reasonable.  We will never sell another home without first calling Teresa at Designed to Show Off!  Our only mistake was not calling her sooner!

Teresa decorated our lake house which is about 1.5 hours from our home. I did not want to have to run up there, back and forth, to decide on every little detail. Plus, decorating really is not my specialty. Teresa got a good feel for the colors and style I liked, and then just made it all happen. Our lake house looks wonderful and I was very pleased with Teresa’s ideas. It turned out exactly they way I hoped it would.

I have used Teresa twice for homes that lingered on the market and I am convinced it was her staging and pictures that helped sell the homes. Teresa offers several options for both the real estate professional and homeowner. Teresa has a wonderful way with words and people and she knows how to help without offending. Money well spent and highly recommended!!!

Teresa, I don’t know if you heard but we sold the house ! I have to say the staging made a tremendous difference so thank you!!!  I guess from staging to signed contract was appx 3 -4 weeks I think? Nice job.  We should close by mid July. I will let you know exactly when. Also the new owner showed an interest in buying some of the furniture. …FYI Jerry and I are starting another home at the lake and we will definitely use you as you results are proven. Thanks again.R.

Teresa is just plain awesome. She is able to design rooms from scratch or help pull out the beauty of a room by leveraging the items in that room in a more flattering way. She has worked with me to stage several homes and all of my clients have loved her. She is easy to talk to and can communicate sensitive things in a very professional manner. I would highly recommend Teresa to anyone with design needs.

As a real estate photographer, I’ve shot all kinds of houses from completely empty to fully furnished, and having a beautifully staged home makes a night and day difference! Not only does Teresa make the house look beautiful, but she makes my work look amazing while saving me the hassle of making everything photo-ready.

I’ve worked with Teresa on a few shoots now, and I’ve noticed that she does everything from polishing the look of a furnished house to fully furnishing a totally empty house and giving it a totally new style, and they’ve been selling quick! When she walks into a room she immediately knows what does and doesn’t work, and somehow comes up with a vision of what the room should look like, and makes it happen!

Ever since I worked with Teresa, any time I get an offer to shoot a house, I ask them if they have it staged, because quite frankly, if it’s not, I don’t want to shoot it!

We completely re-did my house, which I did not expect, but I’m really happy because it looks so much better!

Do you have any suggestions on how we can improve our service?

You were really awesome- great energy and ideas. I really wouldn’t change anything except maybe a warning that we might be moving furniture J

Overall, how would you rate our service?

*****Exceeded my expectations

Teresa was a joy to work with on staging our home. We not only hired Teresa to stage the home but rented her accessories. In three hours the house looked entirely different. We received very positive feedback on all our showings.

Teresa,
The rental worked great, thank you. The open house went swimmingly. It would not have been near the success without your advice. Elaine said everyone was impressed and the open house was non stop people.
Even the guys who delivered the table ask if the house was new and were shocked when I told them it was over nine years old.

Teresa, 
I thought you would be interested in how the house looks now. It is quite a difference. The time we spent with you made a huge impact on the house. Thank you, thank you! Can you move to Denver with us? I’ll be needing a little help decorating.

Thanks again,
Suzanne and Brian

Hi Teresa –
First of all, thank you so much for a very fun, insightful, and I think very PRODUCTIVE morning with the …’s (home). The timing was perfect since they were making final color and finish choices. I also heard that they love the wall colors that you helped them choose and wish they had done it years ago. Thanks so very much!

My apologies Teresa for not getting this to you sooner! I really wanted to just thank you again for your assistance with that particular staging project a while back. It was an interesting floor plan & your outside view was just what I needed to complete the project. I wish you the best of luck with your business and I believe that anyone who hires you – whether for a staging or redesign project – will be thrilled with the end results.
