What others say about Merrow Staging & Design LLC
“I have hired Deirdre to stage several of my personal and investment properties and she has consistently met the goal of customizing the interior and exterior spaces so as to appeal to as many buyers as possible and get the property sold quickly and for the highest conceivable value” – Martin McCormick, Rye NY
The Merrow Staging & Design Process
In order to ready a property for sale, Deirdre starts the process with a home consultation during which she will assess, make recommendations and begin the process of transforming the home into a market-ready property. At the end of this visit, the home seller will be prepared with a room-by-room action plan and checklist of priorities. The home seller will then decide whether they will implement these recommendations themselves or have Merrow Staging & Design handle the process for them, or a combination of both. Sellers typically entrust Deirdre to style the entire property, a service which includes sourcing furnishings and materials, color and finish consultation and referrals to trusted partner vendors and consultants.
