My experience and training have provided me with a keen understanding of what home buyers will find appealing in each market and price point and what motivates them to purchase one home over another.
"Winning the RESA 2010 Professional Stager of the Year award is exciting and energizing. I feel honored and priviledged to have been chosen by my peers for this honor," said Michelle Minch.

My goal as Professional Stager of the Year is to raise awareness about the value home staging adds to the bottom line, both for the home seller & buyer. Home staging should be an integral part of every home sale."
