THAT
SELLS
Strategic staging and design that help homes sell faster, for more.
TRUSTED BY
Staging That Sells is our full-service staging experience that turns your property into a space that potential buyers connect with instantly. These are the kind of listings that photograph beautifully, show effortlessly, and sell faster - without lowering the price. When a home feels right, buyers stop comparing and start offering.
When a property first hits the market, you have one chance to make it worth the price you’re asking.
That moment happens in seconds — before they read the description, before they schedule a showing, before they ever step inside. Staging makes that moment work in your favor, by transforming your property from “just listed” to “must see.” It helps buyers imagine life there instead of work to be done, and it makes every photo, every showing, every detail feel elevated and intentional.
A stronger first impression
Your listing looks premium from day one, creating immediate interest and urgency.
Serious offers,
faster
Homes that feel move-in ready attract buyers who are ready to act, not browse.
Higher perceived value
Buyers don’t want to see a project. They see possibility and they’re willing to pay for it.
Confidence in your price
Go to market positioned above the competition, not forced to adjust later.
We handle everything, from design to delivery, so your focus stays on the sale.
WHY STAGING WORKS BETTER THAN A PRICE DROP
Buyers make decisions emotionally long before they make them financially.
They are not evaluating square footage. They are comparing feelings; comfort, aspiration, belonging. Our process combines design psychology with data-backed strategy to create spaces that appeal to both sides of a buyer’s brain: emotion and logic. The result is a property that feels right and performs even better.
I’m Your Stager, Georgie Schielke
Real estate agent, designer, and CEO of Block & Barker, where we design, stage, and invest in properties that outperform the competition.
For the past five years, I’ve been designing homes across Rhode Island, Connecticut, and New York, from luxury listings to short-term rentals. Every project starts the same way: with a deep understanding of how people make decisions about space, value, and emotion.
My work bridges those worlds - combining the psychology of design with the strategy of real estate.
Whether it’s staging a home to sell faster or designing a rental that books itself, my goal is always to make every property look, feel, and perform like an investment.
From First Chat to Final Showing
Every project starts with a conversation. We talk about your property, price point, square footage, and layout to understand how to position it best for your target buyer.
From there, we draft a custom proposal outlining the scope, cost, and timeline. Once approved, we confirm your staging date, handle all logistics, and prepare your property to launch strong.
After installation, your home remains fully staged for one month, with the option to extend as needed. Finally, we return for removal, simple, seamless, and handled entirely by our team.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
-
Most of the homes we stage aren’t at first.
We’ll walk through together and decide what stays, what goes, and what gets replaced to make the space feel cohesive and market-ready. The goal isn’t to erase what’s there, it’s to elevate it. -
We’ll guide you through what to store and what to keep so the layout and flow photograph beautifully. You’ll know exactly what to do before staging day.
-
We normally book projects a few weeks in advance, so it’s always best to reach out early.

If your home goes under contract early, we’ll coordinate pickup around your timeline.

The investment usually pays for itself, and then some, because design directly impacts perceived value. -
