Kym Hough lives in Danville, California with her husband Graham, daughter Alix and dogs Buster, Petey Mackenzie, Tootsie Rose and their newest family member, Homer Thadeus.

In a very short notice, Kym transformed our empty and undefined house to a beautiful, serene family retreat. Her staging enabled prospective buyers see and feel what it really is like to live in our house. She was also very professional; arriving before an appointment time, and doing the beautiful staging as promised. Our house went into an escrow within a month, in this tough time with bad economy. It was truly "Staged to Sell"! Mikaboo, El Cerrito, CA

A belated email to you about the work you did on 2294 Lomand Lane.  It should come as no surprise that the appearance and your staging were received enthusiastically by open house attendees  last Sunday and by agents at the Broker Tour.   What a great job...the house looks terrific...love your staging.  Photos are also great too.  Thanks so much.

"Staged to Sell is an A+ Staging Company. In preparing to put our home on the market we went out in our area to research Realtors and Staging professionals. What we saw was a C- except for Staged to Sell! They were an A+ every time!  Their furniture is wood, upholstered and glass. They use upscale custom silk florals and beautiful beddings! Nothing but quality. Many of the staged properties we saw had slipped covered furniture and Ikea like furniture. It cheapened the property in our eyes. We were so happy to have Staged to Sell on our team when preparing our home for market. We gave out their cards to everyone we knew and will use them again and again!

"Staged to Sell are amazing. What a difference. My property was on the market for 60 days prior to staging.  When my friends told me about staging and high recommended Kym Hough's Staged to Sell I figured I would give them a try. I am so glad I did!  My vacant house looked incredible and it SOLD!  I loved the free Virtual Tour and Custom Website. The photos were gorgeous and really increased the exposure of the property. I would recommend Staged to Sell to anyone interesting in selling their property and making it look its best!"

Hi Kym

Just wanted to let you know the SUPER job you did for me a staging the house at 654 37th st. It was really an incredible showpiece!! The seller was very happy and especially the fact that she received about $25000 more than we were asking, and this is in a down market. If we did not stage that house it would probably still be sitting on the market like all the others. I was  happy too because I was able to double end it from someone who just came to the open house and fell in love with it. The buyer said "it was  the most beautiful house she had ever seen"!! Everyone came out a winner!! I will be listing another property in a few weeks and would like you to stage it for me again, believe me it is money well spent. Thank you again and let me know if you  need any recommendations for your services they are the best.

We agreed to use Kym's services for the sale of my Dad's house.
What a dazzling transformation. From just a "nice house" to something
the really looked good. The end result was that we sold the house for
$60k over asking price, which I don't think we would have gotten
without her services.

So when we sold our own house it was a no brainer to hire her again.
She worked her magic a second time which resulted in the house selling
for $15k over asking price, on a much higher priced house, in a tougher market.

Our thoughts on all this? Get your house staged and get Kym to do it.
Otherwise you'll be kicking yourself when your neighbor, who WAS smart
enough to hire her) sells his house for a lot more than yours.

I have known Kym for about 3.5 years as a stager and business owner.  We belong to a local Chapter of Staging Professionals where she and I have held offices on the Board as well as worked together on various staging projects for charity as well as in my personal real estate business.

I value her opinioin and regard her as a top professional in the staging community.  She is highly respected as an "expert" by her peers who often go to her for mentoring and advice.  In addition, I feel she is honest and hard working.  I believe she personally has staged more homes than any stager in the Bay Area.  She is creative, a good  time manager and has her vision clear when counseling clients and Realtors on the staging job at hand.

Kym has the ability to bring a fresh insight to what she envisions when viewing a home.  She can bring it from ordinary to extra-ordinary with her creative and innovative approach.  She is clear on the concept of staging and has the ability to speak with homeowners and Realtors in such a way that encourages them to see it too and spur them to action.  All this with their result as her primary focus, the mark of a true professional in my opinion. 

Kym consistently helps her clients earn more equity when selling and in a shorter period on the market.  I personally have used her in a staging capacity and would only hesitate to recommend her because then she may get to busy for me...Just kidding.  The admiration and loyalty of her clients and Realtor clients is proof of her track record and results.  You can't go wrong using Kym for your staging.
