Staged Right Home Design and StagingStaged Right Home Design and Staging is a full service home staging company. We provide vacant and occupied staging as well as short term rental furnishing services. Our experienced home stylists are well trained at the science of using home staging as an effective marketing tool.

Staging a home is no longer optional in our current real estate market. Sellers need to differentiate themselves and buyers are expecting to feel “at home” during the first 60 seconds when they enter a home. Achieving top value for your property and minimizing days on market is as much our business as it is yours.

We service Hillsborough, Pinellas, Pasco, and Hernando counties. We work with investors, real estate agents, and homeowners who want to sell their house for more money in less time!

The Persuasion Equation
How to Formulate Your Words to Get Everything You Want
with Ed Middlebrooks

Ed MiddlebrooksTAMPA REIA meets on Thursday, October 13th from 6PM to 9PM at the Doubletree Westshore, 4500 W Cypress St, Tampa, FL with our very own Ed Middlebrooks who is going to show you how to get everything you want out of life, such as more deals, by changing what you say and how you say it.

On Thursday Night, get ready to change your mind by changing what you say. You’re going to learn the secrets politicians, celebrities, and rockstar sales people use to win people over. Ed is going show you how you can use those same technologies when talking with Landlords, Home Owners, and even Private Lenders to alter their reality and get them to the closing table. Overcoming your fear of talking on the phone or knowing what to say when meeting with prospects is paramount to getting from no deal, to a signed agreement.

Watch Video!

  • Going to, Happening, Happened
