Jessica Humphreys

certified home stager,
photographer, & Owner

Stage to Sell was started by two friends, Liz and Beth, in 2005 with a few chairs, side tables, and lamps. Slowly but surely their inventory grew and their advice became a crucial part of home sale prep in the real estate community. After 12 successful years, Liz approached Jessica, a long time neighbor and friend, about taking over Stage to Sell.

A Charlottesville native with an instinctive eye for design, Jessica studied and worked as a professional commercial photographer for 8 years before joining Stage to Sell in 2017, eventually becoming the owner in 2019. She's a triple-threat who can stage, problem-solve, and photograph your space.

She and her husband have 2 sons, Hudson and Flynn. She's an animal lover, horseback rider, and attempts to grow vegetables in her spare time.

It took 2 days to get used to the uncluttered look, then we actually liked it! ...we had three visits the first week the house was on the market, and on day 11 we had two offers---- one for full asking price.

Liz and Beth have transformed many of our listings from homes that are comfortable to live in to homes that sell! As a REALTOR, I know how critical staging is to getting homes sold in a tough real estate market. That's why we offer Stage to Sell services to our clients. These ladies have discerning, keen eyes and are very diplomatic in their approach with our clients. Their suggestions and expertise make such a difference! Stage to Sell is one of our keys to success!

Thank you SOOOOO much for the staging done on my house. I remember when I walked in that evening (after staging) and wanted to buy my house all over again! I know that part of reason my house sold the 2nd day on the market, in a "bad" market time, was in part because of the wonderful job you guys did on the staging. I wish you could come to Buffalo and stage my new house for me!

- Mia, Vacant Staging Client

I am convinced your service is well worth the cost. Thanks again for your professional service. Your approach and service takes the burden off the Realtor to give a client any bad news regarding their choice of colors, placement of furniture, whatever. The plus is you know what should be done and you provide your service and message to the client in a professional manner.

- Roger M., Realtor

Thanks again for all of your help. Your team did a great job on furniture selection, coordination of deliveries, and assembly. 

- Sam, Down Sizing Services

I wanted to thank you for your time yesterday. I have so much to learn about decorating, and yesterday was quite an educational experience. We implemented some of your ideas and are excited with the changes. We have a ways to go, but we are motivated. You both were very positive and upbeat and answered so many questions. We really appreciate all the assistance!

- Mona & Rick, Home Sellers
Staging our home was the best decision we could have made in this uncertain housing market. Your subtle changes and expert recommendations made all the difference. Within five days on the market, our home had three contracts and it sold well over asking price. We cannot thank you enough!

- Beth & Paul, Home Sellers

Just wanted you to know that we put the sign in the yard a week ago Monday and received a full price offer a week ago Wednesday! We had a great deal of interest and a lot of really positive feedback from both agents and would-be buyers. You deserve so much of the credit and I wanted you to know again, how much we appreciate your help.
