Home Staging

Selling Success Starts with Stunning Style.

Home Staging is the art form of expertly placing furniture and accessories throughout a property in order to make it look like a model home. Our goal is to sell your home for top dollar fast. 95% of our staged homes are under contract within 11-21 days after staging and sell for up to 17% more than a non-staged houses. In 2023, Simple Elegance and Staging The Nest joined forces, pooling our staging teams and resources to establish Houston's largest home staging company.

Why Should I Stage My Home?

Staging your property is important in today’s real estate market. Many times, vacant properties sit unsold for long periods of time because they have less interest or the buyers cannot visualize themselves living in the home. By allowing us to stage your property with gorgeous furniture, artwork, and decor, buyers will be instantly drawn into the home and begin to connect emotionally. Using our home staging techniques will entice more buyers to schedule tours and make offers on your property. This results in a more profitable sale for you!

Our Impact.

  • "Staged 4497 sq. ft. property., Listed at $494,670 - "This listing had been marketed by another agent & brokerage for a number of months. It had not only been severely overpriced but was presented in a very unwelcoming and unengaging way to the public. When I took the listing, I immediately saw the "bones" of the house were beautiful, but there was no way to tell the story by shooting vacant rooms and relisting. I encouraged the sellers to consider investing in staging. The house was staged on Friday. We had an open house on Sunday and immediately there were multiple offers on the house. The house was under contract in 7 days. Simply amazing! These folks are total professionals, and a true delight to work with on every level - whether it is a simple staging consultation or a full blown house staging. When a house is priced right and staged well, it will sell!"New List Item

    Customer

  • "I messaged Mary in desperate need of a stager late on a Monday night and she not only responded but sent a stager out the next morning to my clients home. Karen Budde came out and did a fabulous job. I received 7 offers within 48 hours. Unfortunately that offer fell through and we went back on the market and received 13 more offers in 24 hours. I credit that to my clients hard work and the fabulous staging advice we got from Karen!!! Thank you so much for going above and beyond!"

  • "This company is absolutely wonderful. They have creative ideas for all different type homes. They have staged several of my listings which helped sell them all in less than 3 weeks. I will continue to use their services. They are Fantastic!"

    Debbie Brown

    Realtor

  • "This weekend I had the privilege of working with Mary Scalli and her team on this luxury home staging. What a great experience! Mary is "hands on" and spares no detail to have the perfect touch of luxury, elegance, style, warmth, and even a little whimsy in the right places. Potential buyers will see a place that they want to call home when this team is finished. Oftentimes because luxury homes are so large, the staging looks skimpy because two few rooms are staged or there are too few furnishings and accessories in the rooms that are staged. Mary's staging exceeds expectations! I highly recommend Mary Scalli and her Simple Elegance team for luxury home staging."
