Robyn @ StageAZ is AMAZING!!!!! We did a complete remodel on this property and had listed it with a Realtor. Knowing this market, with REO's and short sales in the neighborhood, we priced very competitively. So, we were low priced and best looking in the entire neighborhood, plus updated..... but that wasn't enough. We had over 25 showings but no offers.
I knew we needed to do something to get someone to commit and that is when I found Robyn @ StageAZ. I knew over the phone that she was awesome!! She came in on a Friday, had the property fully staged by Tuesday and we had 5 more showings throughout the rest of the week.
By Sunday night we had an ACCEPTED OFFER less then 1 full week of being staged!!!! We closed 15 days later!!! It just goes to show in this market you need more than low pricing, you need StageAZ to transform your property into a home.
Thank you soooooo much Robyn.

Well, if someone needs "proof" that home staging works...it happened here folks! My husband and I listed our home three months ago without any action. I had been talking to Robyn Guinn about staging our home and thought we would give it a try. We received an unexpected call on a Wednesday afternoon to see the house early the next morning. I contacted Robyn, and without hesitation she staged a 3000 sq ft home in just one afternoon. The buyer/agent/clients were looking at three potential homes in our same neighborhood. Our house wowed them!
It is so rare to find a consummate professional that knows instinctively what needs to be done, does it and completes the project efficiently, economically, and with a smile on her face. Robyn’s professionalism and dedication to detail with her natural decorating talent are really remarkable!
We would like to thank you for helping us prepare our home for sale. Our house looks spectacular and could rival a builder's model home. The placement of artwork and accessories throughout the house created a warm and inviting environment. The arrangement of furniture also opens up the space, which we never thought about doing.
Thank you again for seeing the potential in our home and for creating "the look" we could never imagine. Sellers that are not getting showings should really invest in your service because it will make the difference. The buyer is willing to pay more money for our house than exact model matches in the neighborhood. It makes a difference when a house becomes a home.
Sincerely,
Ben I contacted Robyn Guinn of StageAZ to stage a property I was selling. I knew we had to do everything possible as the house was located on a busy corner in Central Phoenix. We had updated it and it looked good but needed something else. Robyn brought in furniture, accessories, art, plants, kitchen items, patio furniture, even items to fill the book cases and a TV! Her choices were terrific and the house looked outstanding. The buyers thought so too! They made the offer and loved it so much they wanted all of the furniture! This is just a testament to Robyn’s artful staging talent. Even with other similar houses in the neighborhood for sale and not located on busy streets was no matter…… they wanted this one!! I firmly believe that Robyn’s staging made the difference between selling this property and sitting on the market. Mike A past client of mine came to me and wanted to sell a home. He wanted it sold sooner rather than later. We did not want it to sit on the market like so many other properties in the neighborhood. I knew we had to do everything right, to obtain a fast sale. I called
Robyn kept the focus on the great things about the property and made it feel warm and inviting by bringing in furniture, art, greenery, and accessories. It all came together with a flair that when you opened the front door you knew……… this property is special. It looked great! The buyer thought so too. Nine days after this house went on the market , we received an acceptable contract. The entire process from listing, staging, de-staging, and closing was less than 30 days. I believe that Robyn’s staging talent was a very important factor in obtaining a fast and acceptable contract. I highly recommend StageAZ !
I had a property to sell and called my realtor, Cindy Cindy and I had worked together before on various other properties with good success. Cindy’s no nonsense style and can do attitude always got the job done. I had spent quite a bit of time and money on remodeling and updating the home. I wanted to sell this property quickly, and was concerned because several houses on the same street have been on the market for quite awhile. Cindy suggested that prior to “going on the market” we bring in a “stager” to “stage” the property, so that it would show to it’s best advantage. Cindy, Robyn and I met at the property and went over the plan and the details. Within a couple of days of our meeting, Robyn from StageAZ, transformed the property into a welcoming, inviting home. Robyn brought in furniture, art, plants, knick knack things, towels, beach bag, chairs, props such as a TV, wine bottles, and even items for the patio and laundry room! The property looked great! Within 9 days I had an acceptable offer and a 10 day close! I couldn’t be happier. I still see the other houses on the market and know that Robyn’s staging sold this house in record time. I highly recommend Robyn and StageAZ if you want your property to stand out and be the one that sells! Jack

Leading real estate website conducts national survey to show highest return on investment of home improvements for selling a residential property
Emeryville, CA - JANUARY 7, 2008 - HomeGain, According to a national survey of 2,000 real estate agents conducted by HomeGain, the home improvement that has the highest return on investment (ROI) is cleaning and de-cluttering.
Results showed that, on a national average, homeowners who spend a couple hundred dollars on cleaning and de-cluttering a home for sale could yield a 578 percent ROI, which may be incremental home value of $2,000. The highest ROI was reported in the West region with an 837 percent return.
HomeGain's survey identified 10 most recommended home improvements for getting a home into "home selling condition" for minimal costs and within a quick time frame.
"With homes sitting on the market longer, homeowners should do everything they can to sell it quickly and at a price they expect," stated Louis Cammarosano, General Manager at HomeGain. "Overall survey results show that spending between $5,000 and $8,000 on the 10 home improvements can increase a home's value by $20,000 or more. This kind of information can prove to be useful to real estate agents in advising their home sellers."
In each of the four regions, East, West, South and Mid-West, surveyed real estate agents reported the top four recommended home improvements to be:
- Clean and de-clutter
- Lighten and brighten
- Professional home staging
- Landscape front and back yards
