About

Hello and Welcome to Making Houses Beautiful. So glad you are here. MHB is a professional staging company based in Lake Forest, California. Currently, I specialize in the South Orange County area, but have worked nationwide over the last 10 years.

I think it's safe to assume that if you landed here it's because you know the importance of marketing your house when you're looking to sell. I am passionate about the creative and organizational skills of staging, which help to sell a home fast and for a profit. I love to work one on one with my clients to find the perfect way to do this. Working together, we will lay the foundation for you to see the highest return on your investment.

My goal is to make the process of staging your home as stress free (and dare I say fun) as possible. So let's get started...

Why Staging? Why MHB?

I have a busy schedule, i have already moved, and i just don't have the time or energy to get my house ready to sell

Whether your house is vacant or still lived in, i can set the stage for the perfect buyer to fall in love with your house. in addition, i can get it all done with minimal disruption to your schedule. let me do the work for you.

I'm not sure why, but my house just isn't selling in this market.

Save a lot by spending a little. The investment made into hiring a stager is one you will make back by selling your home at top price. "If a house doesn't sell within those first critical weeks when one hopes for lots of activity, interest and multiple offers, most agents recommend a price adjustment of AT LEAST $5,000. This is money right out of your pocket!" - Debra Gould, Professional Stager sixelements.com

I just don't know the best way to show my house to get top dollar.

The idea is not to completely depersonalize. A dull house does not show well. I will highlight your house's beauty by finding the perfect combination of layout, furniture, and accessories. In the picture above, a rug, artwork, and decor really helped this room to standout.

We have accumulated a lifetime of memories, furniture, art, and more and I don't know where to start

Part of the staging process is organizing , decluttering, and storing those precious memories. I will help you decide how many of your belongings can be used to help sell the house and what should go into storage. Many times with staging we are able to use the client's own furnishings...we just rearrange, pare down, and highlight what you already have.
