My husband and I moved to Cary from south Florida last year. We rented a house, intending to stay…read morethere while we scoped out the area - but then this fantastic townhouse came on the market and we had to buy it. Next question: What to put in it? It's much bigger than our rental house - and much nicer. That said, we didn't want to spend crazy money on new furniture (we've made that mistake before) - but on the other hand, we wanted nice stuff (i.e., not Rooms to Go). We recognize our limitations, so I searched for someone who could help us with our new home - and luckily enough found Amy. She first went to our rental house (where we were still living) to see what we already had, get an idea of our colors, artwork, etc., then went to our new (empty) home. We were, frankly, amazed at some of her suggestions - amazed just because they *never* would have occurred to us. As soon as she saw our (very large) master BR suite, she noted that there was ample space to fit our existing living room furniture. She also suggested that we have the mantle in the living room (which was crazy high) lowered. ??!! We did not know such a thing was even possible. Amy had great recommendations for - and accompanied us on - furniture shopping trips (can't say enough about Cooper's - must get to their review next). She was also great for the little stuff - positioning furniture, helping organize the kitchen, etc. We could not have had a better experience and would not hesitate to seek her advice again.

We moved to NC from Cali to a home with approximately the same square footage, but a drastically…read moredifferent layout. We had the "stuff", just no real understanding of how best to use it. When I reached out to Amy and told her what I needed, she made it happen! Finding pieces in one room that would be better in another; creating flow where corners or awkwardness had previously interrupted it; and most importantly, making this brand new space feel like our home. Working with Amy is quite a treat! She's professional, detail oriented, and has resources for whatever a home and family might need! Having an understanding of different perspectives in decor is a HUGE plus, too, as a simple mention of feng shui (which I know nearly nothing about) opened up a whole new conversation about placement of plants and honorary placement of our dearly departed pets! She has amazing energy, practical sensibilities, and a keen understanding of family functioning so she can help turn a house into a home. BIG SIGH! I adore my home now!

I really like the simplicity of the staged look in a home, so I hired Sherrie to help us redesign…read moreour family room. She created a beautiful, comfortable space with personal touches that fit our preferences. She was incredible to work with. Sherrie listens to your desires as a client and finds solutions that work. She is practical and yet creative. We had a small space to work with but she was able to transform it into something I couldn't have imagined! It is a beautiful, soothing space and a room we enjoy being in now. She also helped with some recommendations for our dining room and we are currently in process of transforming that space with her support. She utilizes the resources already available to reduce unnecessary spending and is able to work with whatever your budget is. We absolutely recommend Sherrie and will work with her again.

We chose the Clark…read moreTeam to sell our home because of their proven record of selling homes in our area quickly at above asking price. Up Staging Designs is an integral part of the Clark Team's Marketing plan. When you have a very nice home that you are proud of, your initial reactions to the stagers recommendations challenge you, asking you to make dramatic changes within the home you are proud of. Ellie skillfully explained the strategy of staging to be the art of allowing a prospect to see themselves living in your home with their furnishings and decorations. Removing your personal articles and family pictures are an important effort, and removing some furniture creates space so a buyer can have a vision of living in the home. We are absolutely convinced that implementing Ellie's recommendations played a very important part in selling our home in 5 days for significantly higher than the asking price.

Bobbie is a true standout in the staging profession and I highly recommend her on multiple levels…read more I have seen the magic and buy in that Bobbie brings when working with clients to get their homes ready for the market. Her knowledge helps to position them for receiving top dollar while listing while delivering her message in a kind and authentic way. I have also had the pleasure of taking a continuing education course recently with Bobbie to help better myself in my real estate career. She brings the same professionalism and her sense of humor with her as an instructor. She is a wealth of knowledge and openly shares her experiences and humor to make the information useful and understandable. The format of the class was interactive, which I appreciate as a person that likes to be on the go and not in a classroom. Whether you are a Real Estate agent, a Stager with experience or a novice, or a person who will be selling a home in the Triangle I highly recommend connecting with Bobbie McGrath.
