Why Stage Your Home?
Dollars and Sense.
Pure Michigan Home Staging focuses on what appeals to Buyers, creates an aesthetic that supports that core customer, and turns your home into a highly desirable product.
Home Staging allows the homeowner to retain 5-20% more home equity. (the National Association of Realtors)
Staged Homes spend 78% less time on the market than homes that are not staged. Vacant Homes sell, on average, for 15% less. (HomeGain & Real Estate Staging Association)
A price reduction may not make any difference in the buyer’s perception of the home. However, the same amount or less in minor updates and a professional presentation can make a huge difference.
Home Staging may involve a full package furniture rental, minor cosmetic updates or simply move items around and depersonalize the space.
Even if you are working with a tight budget, we offer cost effective consultations that will turn your home into a very marketable property.
Testimonials
“Great sense of style and design; two key elements in staging your home to sell or to decorate after you buy. Katie did a great job for us, she made me fall in love with my home all over again.”
“Katie staged a new listing for me that received an accepted offer in 7 days. Before she staged the house, it sat on the market and didn’t sell because buyers couldn’t see the potential. ”
“Katie is an absolute pleasure to work with. Not only is she personable and knowledgeable about the local real estate trends, but she also knows what buyers want. Great insight into design, she has a very creative mind.”

About Me
MY NAME IS Katie
I spent the first 7 years of my professional life working in film and television; 6 of which I lived in New York City. My eye for detail and design lead me into a career in costume where I learned how to create a character and their space. I am currently a licensed realtor in the state of Michigan. I utilize these techniques for all of my listings, clients, and personal real estate investments.
I started Pure Michigan Home Staging to help people realize their real estate goals; to sell for more, faster.
I know how to paint a picture, create a mood, project a lifestyle, set a tone - I know how to make buyers fall in love with your home.
