"Every time we have a house staged I am blown away by the change. I thought I had staged but it was a joke. I can sell houses but I can't make them look like that...thats why you need a stager! You transformed this house into something spectacular with what they had. I'm so thrilled! Thank you very much!"

Holly Maricotti

"Without question Esther's talent made all the difference when designing our investment properties. When the time came to list for Rent we had potential tenants lined up to live in our spaces. Higher rents, better quality of tenants, and faster occupancy are all a testament to the difference Esther makes. Needless to say all future projects will include Olive + Ash."

5 Reasons I Think Every Realtor Should Stage Their Listings

5 Reasons I Think Every Realtor Should Stage Their Listings

If we were having coffee and you asked me, "Is staging really worth it?" my answer would be 100% yes, and here's why. 1. You only get one chance at a first impression. Most buyers meet your listing online before they ever book a showing. If your photos don't stop them from scrolling, they may never even walk through the front door. 2. Buyers don't buy rooms; they buy a feeling. People remember how a home made them feel. Staging creates warmth, flow, and that little moment where they think, "I could see myself living here." 3. Empty doesn't mean better. I hear this all the time: "Let's just leave it vacant." But empty rooms usually feel smaller and make it harder for buyers to understand the space. Furniture gives every room a purpose. 4. You're not selling furniture; you're selling potential. Good staging isn't about decorating. It's about helping buyers focus on the home instead of the distractions, so they can picture their future there. 5. Every listing is a reflection of you. This one is big. Every home you list says something about your brand. When your listings consistently look polished and professionally presented, people notice—and so do future clients. My Final Thought Home staging isn't about making a home look expensive. It's about making it unforgettable. If staging helps one more buyer fall in love with a home, or helps your seller get a better result, I'd say it's one of the smartest investments you can make before hitting "Go Live."

How I Approach Occupied Home Staging

How I Approach Occupied Home Staging

One question I get asked a lot is, "What's the first step?" Most people expect me to say it's choosing furniture or accessories. It's not. It's the consultation. For me, that's the most important part of the entire staging process. When I walk into an occupied home, I'm not just looking at the space. I'm getting to know the people who live there. I want to understand their routines, what they love about their home, and even the little things that make everyday life easier for them. Yes, home staging is a strategic marketing tool. Every decision we make is designed to help the home appeal to the largest pool of buyers. But when it's an occupied home, there's another layer to it. You're asking someone to let you into their personal space. You're asking them to pack away family photos, move furniture, and sometimes change the way they've lived for years. That deserves empathy. My goal is never to turn someone's home upside down. It's to find the balance between creating a space that buyers will love while respecting the people who still call it home. The consultation is where that balance begins. It's where we build trust, create a plan together, and make sure every recommendation has a purpose. By the time staging day arrives, it shouldn't feel overwhelming; it should feel like a team effort. At the end of the day, I'm not just staging a house. I'm helping someone through one of the biggest transitions of their life, and I never lose sight of that.

Home Staging + Pets: A Few Tips Before Listing Your Home

Home Staging + Pets: A Few Tips Before Listing Your Home

If you have pets, let me start by saying this... I'm a pet lover too. 🐾 I know they're part of the family, and I would never expect anyone to feel otherwise. But when your home goes on the market, it's important to remember that you're no longer preparing it just for yourself, you're preparing it for every potential buyer. And the truth is, not everyone feels the same way about pets. Some buyers have allergies. Some are sensitive to pet odours. Others simply don't have pets. The goal isn't to hide your furry family member, it's to remove anything that might distract buyers from seeing the home itself. Here are a few recommendations I always share with pet owners before staging and showings: Be mindful of the staging inventory. Staging furniture and décor are brought into your home temporarily and should be treated with extra care. If your pets are used to jumping on sofas or lounging on rugs, I recommend removing or covering certain staging furniture, rugs, or decorative pieces while you're living in the home. It's a simple way to help protect the inventory and avoid unnecessary wear or damage before your home sells. Put pet items away. Food and water bowls, litter boxes, pet beds, crates, toys, scratching posts, and training pads are all part of everyday life, but they don't need to appear in listing photos or during showings. Eliminate the little reminders. Pet hair on furniture, nose prints on windows, lingering odours, and even cleaning up the backyard are small details that buyers notice more than you might think. Have a plan for showings. If possible, arrange for pets to be out of the home during photography and showings. It's less stressful for them, makes buyers feel more comfortable, and allows everyone to focus on the home. My Final Thought Selling a home doesn't mean pretending your pets don't exist, it simply means presenting your home in a way that appeals to the widest range of buyers. A little preparation goes a long way, and these small steps can make a big difference in helping buyers picture themselves living there. Your pets will always be part of your home. For a little while, it's okay to let the house be the star of the show.

Why should I stage my home?

Staging a home for selling is not a new concept, but it is one that is gaining steam especially in a challenging market. A Home Gain survey of 1000 real estate agents said that home staging brought a 196% return on investment for the showcasing component alone. First impressions occur within seconds of entering a home and we want the impression of yours to be positive! And in an increasingly technology based world where buyers look online first, effective staging puts your house on the list of must-see properties.

Do you have a client referral program?

We love referrals! Word of mouth and good reviews are what keeps us in business and we so appreciate it. We love to thank our loyal clients for their continued business and referrals.

What should I expect during my consultation?

During the initial consultation, a staging professional will tour your house making note of any repairs to be made or items they suggest changing to make your house appealing to a broad audience of buyers. They will then sit down with you to discuss next steps and answer any questions you may have.

How long does the staging process take?

The staging time is different for each project but typically we will be starting around 10 am and wrap up within 4-6 hours. After that, your home is ready for professional photographs and a fantastic open house! In order to provide you with the best possible service, we do ask that the house be empty of people or pets. Staging is a busy time of moving, unpacking, arranging and styling.
