I loved working with Leigh in designing my home office. This is the most important room in the house to me, and I can be very particular about functionality. I wanted design help to make sure my emphasis on functionality actually looked good, too. Leigh was wonderful in learning what I liked and didn’t like, and giving me the ‘right’ amount of options to choose from, starting with paint, fixtures, floorings, to furnishings. She understood what I was picky about, and worked patiently with me in t…

Leigh was integral in helping my sellers stage their home before listing. She provided a professional, in-depth consultation complete with recommendations, pricing estimates and a list of manageable “to-do’s” for my clients. By staging, I strongly feel that the home stood out against its competition both in photos and in person, and that her services directly impacted us getting an offer on the 2nd day of listing. Her team of stagers/helpers were both knowledgeable, efficient and a pleasure to w…

Leigh Newport completely reviewed our house and gave us a step-by-step, room-by-room plan for how to make the house saleable. This involved considerable downsizing and upgrading of floors, painting all walls, etc., but also advice on what furniture to leave in and how to arrange it to show the rooms to best advantage. Having a very specific plan made it easy for us to get the house ready for sale. Since our property is a horse farm and involved considerable acreage, we were prepared for a potent…

Beautiful work. I couldn’t have come close to it on my own. Condo listed 8/15. I received a solid offer 8/29 and closed 9/26. I couldn’t be happier.

Leigh – thank you for all the hugely valuable information and your delightful way of delivering it!  Must always be a challenge.  We love your recommendations and know that alone has been a huge time savings for us.

I just wanted to thank you and your wonderful staff for your hard work and very creative talent in staging our condo.   I never could have imagined how beautiful the end result was going to be.
My husband and I are so pleased with the outcome!!

I knew from the first words she spoke at a seminar that this person and service was for me. I engaged Staged By Design to prepare my house for sale with excitement for the possibilities; but, Leigh Newport’s efforts far exceeded all expectations. She and her crew were the consummate professionals one expects when hiring services for one’s beloved home. With a few simple recommendations and some minor, frugal remodeling, she transformed my home with that lived in look to a palace befitting nobili…

The buyer agents raved at how well the home showed. They were taking extra listing brochures back to their office and begging their clients to make an offer. Everyone in our agent’s team meeting was talking about the beautiful little home in Bristow. Even without an open house the showings kept us away more than we were home. We received our first offer 3 days into the second week. There were two interested buyers in the cue when we accepted an offer 15 days after it was listed.
