This is me, Tina Borders, owner of Stagerhaus. Doing some of my favorite things: Eating ice cream in a place I’ve never been, looking for inspiration. This was taken at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London a couple of years ago. I highly recommend it, except maybe the Mr. Whippy—turns out I don’t like British ice cream. Sorry Mr. Whippy.

My love of homes goes way back and I’ve built three of the four homes I’ve owned with my husband. I spent my early career in the apparel industry after receiving my degree in Clothing and Textiles. About five years ago I decided to take the plunge and started my own staging company.

Selling your home can be one of the most stressful events in life. It can feel like you’re selling your heart. I get that, and I like being able to help people through one of the hardest transitions they’ll experience.

Staging is one part design and one part marketing. And I know you have a lot of money riding on it. So, for those who want to see the facts, here’s some hard data showing the increased value staging gives your home.

I hope you’ll give me a call.

Cheers!
