Meet Your Staging Team
MK & Ashley
We started Staged To Closed because we believe selling a home should feel calm, clear, and confident — not chaotic. With backgrounds in design, real estate, and project management, we partner with homeowners, agents, and builders to turn listings into buyer favorites.
From the first walkthrough to the sold sign, we handle the details so you don't have to.

Realtor & Homeowner Trust
The people who recommend us keep recommending us.
"I've referred Staged To Closed to every serious seller I've represented in the last three years. My clients love them because there are no surprises."
"They took a house we'd lived in for twenty-two years and made it feel like the one buyers were dreaming of. Under contract in nine days."
"The clarity was everything. They walked in, told us what to keep, what to store, and what they'd bring. We never had to guess."
Common Questions
Everything you'd ask on the phone, answered up front.
How much does staging really cost?
+
Our Signature Stage starts at $3,800 for most Raleigh-area homes and covers the rooms buyers judge first. Full-home projects start at $6,900. Every project is quoted in writing before we begin.
Do we need to move out?
+
Almost never. We work around lived-in homes and coordinate a single-day install once the plan is approved. Most clients pack a few personal items the morning of install and are back in the house that evening.
How soon can you start?
+
Consults are typically available within a week. From consult to install is usually 10–14 days, aligned to your listing and photography dates.
Do you work with our Realtor?
+
Yes — most of our clients come through Realtor referrals. We coordinate directly on timing, photography, and open-house prep so you don't play middleman.
What if the house doesn't sell right away?
+
Our Signature Stage includes a 30-day lease and Full Home includes 60 days. Extensions are month-to-month at a published rate — no penalty, no drama.
