Stage to Sell
During one of the most stressful times in life—relocating—I arrive prepared to make everything you own help sell your home. Feelings of overwhelm and stress fade as rooms are completed, and the to-do list becomes crystal clear. For more information about your staging session, read Home Staging FAQs.
“Can you help me with my new house?” ~Many Happy Clients after seeing what I do with their home (Oh, and “Yes, I can!”)

Downsizing Plan
Have you wanted to right-size for years but are plague by questions? “Where to start? What to keep? What to toss? What to sell? Estate sale or Garage sale? Dumpster? Off-site storage unit? What if I don't know where I'm going and what I'll need? Will I have to move twice?” I know the questions to ask and steps to make to help you move forward with a solid, clear plan.

Moving Cost Reduction
A relocation is costly, fast-paced and has many loose ends to manage. Who has time to go through the stuff? Just load it all on the van and deal with it later, right? But this is an area where costs can be reduced dramatically, and it’s far less work than you think! “I never thought of it this way.” ~Said by Countless Relieved Relocation Clients

Move-In-Day Plan
Move in with a plan by mapping out where everything goes beforehand, then guide your movers with confidence and efficiency!
"I have used Cynthia on my sales…she is awesome. Use her and see what a difference she can make! Also, she’s a good house-warming gift for those who can’t figure out where to put what." ~Happy Realtor®

Interior ReDesign
Give yourself the gift of turning this home into your dream home. Create an escape room; get a new furniture arrangement; select fresh paint colors; live with beautifully-arranged bookcases and displays; reconfigure storage; nail down a plan and shopping list. Live a beautiful life, NOW!

Couples Coaching
Blending households? I mediate, providing neutral yet creative direction for differing tastes. Idea: Include my gift certificate in your wedding registry! Constantly bickering over clutter? I provide a fun and eye-opening solution, while preventing bloodshed.
Bachelor/ette Pad Facelift
Tired of your place looking like a crash pad, or haphazard storage for your clothes and protein powder? It takes surprisingly little effort and money to create a sweet landing pad—good enough for entertaining—and still have it reflect who you are.

Grief Transition
While healing after death or divorce, our home can become a burden, often leading to neglect and clutter. Use your time in "Limboland" to imagine the next leg of your journey, starting with your home. Creating a fresh look is a step forward, and a great source of self-care, when you're ready.

Remote Consultation
We literally “phone it in!” Whether in person or via video conferencing, I simply need to see your home to help you get the results you want.
[How Remote Staging Works]
Furniture Rental & Alternatives
Call to discuss your needs and lower-cost, innovative alternatives. I can coordinate the rental of staging furniture (or a referral) if truly needed.

“Flip” Consultation
Whether an investment property or home improvement project, budgets can get eaten up quickly. Before drywall dust starts flying, run your plans by someone who has worked in thousands of homes, and sees what people tend to want.
[Impress Women First]
Minimalism
It’s a movement, it’s freedom, and it’s catching on! Minimalism is a way to live Broader, Lighter, Richer and more Intentionally. It’s choosing what supports the life you envision, summed up by “less stuff, more life.” I can help you get radical, or ease you gently into “minimalism lite.”
