We were very happy with the consultation Act Two Home Staging gave us on how to stage our house for sale. We were very impressed with the nuances Leona knew about the difference between interior decorating for personal use compared to decorating to highlight the best features of our house. The way she had us rearrange the living room furniture really showcased the large windows in our living room and the view of the backyard. We were also very happy with how she suggested we set up the foyer and put a large picture, which wed had in our storage area, at the top of our staircase. Those changes

I called Leona because the house I was about to list for sale was a train wreck. The house is a great house but between the colors and the furniture and the STUFF everywhere, I knew my client needed help.
Leona went for the initial consult and spent about three hours there developing a plan. 2 weeks later the plan was complete and the house hit the market on Monday and on Tuesday we had multiple offers and a signed contract. Between Leona's expertise and the combined effort between her and the seller, made it happen

From beginning to end my experience with Leona Piro at Act 2 Home Staging has been wonderful. She and her staff have the most comfortable professional way of handling a project. The process is simple and seamless. I feel I can trust her with decisions and know that she has my, and my clients, best interest in mind. This is Home Staging at its best... no guessing here... it helps sell homes faster and for more $$$.
