They understand what buyers are looking for and make the home appealing to them both in listing photos and in-person.

About the Owner

Hi, I’m Heather. After a career in staffing and branding, including 15 years at Microsoft and Amazon, and some independent consulting, it was a personal project that introduced me to the world of home staging.

As a kid, I was the introvert who would spend hours rearranging the furniture in my bedroom for fun. To be honest, I still do that, but it didn’t cross my mind to turn it into a career until my family built a vacation rental property at Seabrook and I took a summer off to furnish and decorate it. It was like a dream. Not only was my right brain on fire, I was also able to apply my previous marketing expertise to understand our target visitor, the type of experience they were looking for and how to attract them to our home over the many others they might be considering. I loved every minute of that summer.

Coincidentally, I was starting to plan for my new career journey and by the time our rental went live, I knew I should be combining my love of all things décor with my marketing abilities; particularly my experience in customer research. Home staging became an obvious choice and the opportunity to acquire Essential Home Staging fell into my lap.

What I love most about home staging is that I help sellers increase the value of their property, and I get to have fun doing it. And I get to work with their broker to make an otherwise potentially stressful process a hell of a lot easier.
