Selling a home is about more than just listing it—it’s about presenting it in a way that maximizes its value and appeal to buyers. That’s where my Prep & Declutter service comes in. Unlike basic staging, this is a curated, hands-on process that blends design expertise, strategic decluttering, minor repairs, and even paperwork assistance to ensure a smooth, profitable sale.

With a trained eye for what truly matters, I assess each space, deciding what should stay, what should go, and what subtle improvements will make the biggest impact. Whether it’s refreshing an entryway, replacing outdated hardware, organizing closets with beautiful brass hooks, or even ensuring violations are cleared with the Department of Buildings, I take care of the details that buyers notice but can’t always articulate.

Today’s buyers expect homes to be move-in ready—and Instagram-worthy. They don’t have the patience for a vision; they want to see the finished product. I specialize in creating that polished, aspirational look, from fresh towels and a welcoming doormat to lighting adjustments and cosmetic fixes that add hundreds of thousands in value. The result? Homes that sell faster and for more money.

This isn’t just about making a space look pretty; it’s about maximizing your return on investment with strategic, cost-effective updates. My Prep & Declutter service ensures your home stands out, feels inviting, and sells for the highest possible price—without unnecessary renovations or wasted time.
