Home Staging & Enhancement

In an article from "The New Mexican" on November 29, 2009, Danelle Kendall (owner of Casa Milagros Interiors) says that "Most anyone who has searched for a home can attest that you know when a place is right. It's just a feeling."

A home styled and staged by Casa Milagros graces the cover of the June, 2007 Santa Fe Homes Real Estate Guide. A home styled and staged by Casa Milagros graces the cover of the June 2007 Santa Fe Homes Real Estate Guide.

She has helped many people present their homes in such a way that potential buyers fall in love with the home and ultimately make an offer. "We go from room to room and get all the items out that detract from the home. Its easy to focus on these things instead of on the house itself." Using what remains Kendall helps her clients re-work the space to appear larger, have a better flow and attract the eye to each home's special architectural elements.

The first impression is often the last. Real Estate Staging is perfect for the Realtor®, or homeowner, who wants to distinguish a home from others on the market. Without a doubt, having a home professionally staged is the single best way to outshine the competition.

Benefits of staging include:

  • Problem areas in the home are downplayed while positive features are highlighted
  • Potential buyers can better envision themselves living in the home, thus increasing the likelihood of an offer
  • Many Realtors® value having an outside party prepare the home for showing before listing
  • Real Estate Agents can give their clients added value by providing complimentary staging or consultation
  • Staging is a great way to reinvigorate a sluggish listing

Services include:

  • Hands-on staging for furnished or partially furnished homes
  • Consultation for the do-it-yourself homeowner (this can be also provided by the Realtor® to the client)

Staging Fees

Staging Consultation

This is a blueprint for selling success for home sellers who have the time and desire to make improvements themselves, but need expert guidance to make the right choices. For a $150 investment, you'll receive a one hour on-site consultation. We'll discuss any possible cosmetic work that should be tackled, curb appeal and clutter removal. Also we'll discuss furniture placement and addition or subtraction of accessories. If more time is needed, the charge will be $50 per hour. If you decide afterwards that you want "us" to carry out the improvements, we'll credit half the consultation fee towards other services.

Hands-on Staging

Leave the work to us! We'll give you a free estimate of how much time it will take us to stage your home. After you have finished any necessary painting, floor work and curb appeal projects, we'll arrive to pack up any "clutter," move furnishings and accessories to better show off your home and re-hang any art work. The fee is $100 per hour or $125 per hour if moving assistance is necessary. The average 3,000 sq. ft. house will take around 4-5 hours.

I was so pleasantly surprised to see my beautiful Vista Redonda listing transformed by you. This is truly a magnificent property and shows as such after your magic. Sometimes sellers don't realize that all of their personal effects, albeit special and full of memories for them, can actually detract from the architectural and design attributes of a home. You have a great eye and you have proven to me that there is no property too large or too small that can't be tackled and marketed at its highest and best value!! Thanks again for a great job.

My clients are happy with how Casa Milagros Interiors utilized existing materials efficiently to show their condo in the best way.
Christopher Doyle, Realtor,
Prudential Santa Fe
I cannot express how wonderful it was to see what a fantastic job you did in our home. The whole family was excited! We are pleased and grateful and happy with your incredible attention to color. Our only regret is not having called you sooner so our house could have looked better a long time ago. We feel this will definitely help it when we put it back on the market. As soon as our house sells and we buy another, we'd like you to help organize & help with furniture placement & accessorizing. Thanks again!
Elena Brown & Family, Santa Fe, NM
It was great having you redesign the rooms in our house. The improvements you made and working with what we had already was especially appreciated. There is no question in our minds that the house should sell for top dollar thanks to you.
Susan T. Bowman, Tesuque, NM
With a very minimal budget, Casa Milagros transformed a barren little home into a welcoming, cozy refuge, all in a single afternoon! Less than six weeks later, the home sold!
