Staged2Sell Home Staging: A Year in Review

As 2024 winds down, the team here at Staged2Sell home staging is reflecting on another wonderful year full of exciting projects, amazing partnerships, and huge business growth. We couldn't have done it without our amazing team or the important partnerships we have with our trusted realtor partners. Here's a snapshot of what we're so proud of and the milestones we're celebrating this year. 2024 Highlights—Our Favorite Staging Projects This year brought a variety of homes and creative challenges, but these five projects stood out for our team: 1015 Hornsbyville, Yorktown: A beautifully renovated home with black accents, warm wood tones, and an open floor plan.

In this situation, buyers had difficulty visualizing how the home could be updated or personalized. As a result, they were passing up the opportunity, even though the house had [...]
