SOLD $20000 OVER ASKING

"Linda provided beautiful staging for my mother’s home in Lynbook, NY. When she first viewed the house in the summer of 2013 (following my mother’s death) it contained all of my mother’s old and rather dated furniture. Linda was anticipating using some of that as part of the staging but repairs to the house required removal of everything. Linda was not dismayed by this change when we contacted her again in the early spring of 2014 and [she] immediately formulated a new, stylish and very comprehensive plan. Linda gave careful thought to bringing out the best features of the house while not overwhelming it with furniture and design. She provided us with many helpful suggestions such as paint colors, floor covering and lighting. She consistently returned phone calls, emails or texts in a timely way and was always on time for appointments. She did a simply fabulous job of decorating the house. Numerous agents who visited during a Broker’s Open House commented very positively about what she had done and my sisters and I were all extremely pleased. One of the most wonderful things about Linda is her sensitivity. She understood how difficult it was for me to go through the process of preparing my mother’s house for sale and was extremely kind and supportive, sometimes sharing some of her own experiences having gone through this herself. Conversations with her always left me feeling much better and more able to go forward. I can’t think of anything that could have improved my experience working with Linda. It was entirely positive and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

SOLD $9000 OVER ASKING

"I employed Linda Leyble’s many talents when I had a townhouse unit for sale in St. James. The home had been occupied by an elderly gentleman. And it looked it! Both dark and dated, Linda came in and worked her magic. By the time she was done, the unit was so appealing, not only did we get over $9000 full asking price, the purchaser bought it just the way it was, furnishings and all. Thanks Linda, that couldn’t have happened without you. Having had Linda stage that first property, I called her to do a consultation at a house I just couldn’t get sold. She gave many recommendations and ideas to the home owners. At first they were very hesitant to take the advice she had given them. No sale yet. Then I think her words finally sank in! Alas, they did just what she has advised. Prospective purchasers who came were very complimentary about the feel of the house. We have just recently sold this home and I believe Linda Leyble’s expert staging advice and her commitment to detail played a big part in finally getting it sold.”

I Just Love Her Style

"Linda is definitely one of the best!!! I have used her services on several empty homes that we easily got 15%-20% more for our clients than we could have gotten without her staging. I am a big believer in staging a home and only use the best. Linda has a unique eye and I just love her style."

Above and Beyond Expectations

“I had a last minute staging request for the annex space in my office. I was in pure panic mode trying to figure out how to get an entire empty room staged for a pitch meeting and Linda was such a help and a joy to work with. She was there with me every step of the way – she listened – and found the perfect pieces for our space within 24 hours. She set up all the logistics for delivery and pick up during snow storm and really came through with her ideas, kindness, and interior design talent. Not only that but she graciously took off a large portion of the cost since the bulk of the work was done on the phone. I would recommend her in a heartbeat and as our office builds out to the entire floor – I will definitely be using her services again. Plus – the pitch meeting was a huge success and the clients LOVED the room.”,

Amazing Transformations...


“Linda staged a very small waterfront bungalow that is a very difficult sale. The house went from looking like one large cold room to a warm, cozy waterfront getaway. The furniture and accessories were absolutely perfect. From the time Linda received the go ahead the house was fully staged and ready within 3 days.”
Kathleen Evangelista
Realtor, Douglas Elliman

A Warm And Exciting Approach

“Linda brings a warm and exciting approach to helping my clients prepare their homes for showings. Sometimes it’s a matter of Linda walking through their house explaining to the sellers what to do to prepare for showings, from painting to de-cluttering, moving furniture around etc. Other times Linda stages entire homes. Homes staged by Linda sell for far more money than homes that are vacant. With her elegant taste, homes that are typically harder to sell, have sold quickly for top dollar. I highly recommend working with Linda to prepare your home for sale."

"Good morning, Keora the realtor said she had loved the house! She couldn’t believe it. I told her that the house was decorated and arranged by you. She asked me for your business cards. I gave her a bunch. We had 3 families love the house and we got 2 bids. We are countering one of them. I really can’t express how much I appreciated your help and time. I couldn’t have done it without you"

Highly Recommended....for all your listings!

"I am a Realtor in South Nassau County and I have used Linda’s services quite a few times and I am continually impressed! She has really helped my business greatly and has been the best home stager that I have found. There are quite a few stagers or realtors that claim they know staging, but once you have Linda properly design a home, you will see the difference immediately. I had two homes recently that I was having trouble selling – they were both empty homes. One the sellers had moved out and the other was a renovated home by an investor. The investor house was a cute, but small cape style home that was located in Bellmore. Every buyer that walked in said the same thing – the rooms are too small and our furniture won’t fit. What I quickly realized was that most buyers don’t have the vision needed to see their furniture in it or even get ideas on how to lay out a room. Linda came in and I was only expecting some basic ideas and some furniture to rent for the sale. Her plan sounded good and the owner was ready to do anything to prevent making another mortgage payment and agreed to pay for Linda right away and I was happy because her pricing made sense and was affordable for this investor who is making sure that money is not spent unnecessarily. Linda came the day we had set and I left her to do her “Magic.” I came back later that afternoon and it looked like a completely different house! Not only was there furniture, but she has beautiful accessories, pictures, pillows and throws over chairs – something special in each room that just called attention to detail and made the room work. That weekend I did the 4th open house and I had the same amount of traffic as before, but this time, I had every buyer commenting about the designs and even some asking if this is a new house to the market, because they hadn’t seen it before. It really looked that different! That day I received 2 offers and had one accepted that evening for more than the owner was expecting. I figured if she can do it for this house, then I had another right away that I needed to sell and honestly, I wanted to see if this was just a fluke. The next house was an estate home in South Massapequa, but much larger than the first one. Plus this had many outdated features that detracted from the value of the home. Linda came in and just like last time, had a great plan and was ready to go, except this time, she had recommendations for some inexpensive things to do that would make the home sell faster and appear more updated. Such as removing some wallpaper in the entrance way and painting the front door and railings and a few other little things that took an hour or so to complete. Once the house was staged, I was ready to do the open house. The difference between the other home and this one, was the price was higher and I wasn’t getting any showings really at all here, so I was hoping the open house would be busier. That day we had about 5 people, but the best part was that the 4th person pulled me aside and said “I know this house is going to sell quickly, do you think I can bring my parents back a few minutes after the open house so its quieter and then we can talk about an offer.” We ended up selling the house to that buyer and the sellers were so happy and the buyer even asked if they could buy some of the furniture because it looked great in the living room. After those two jobs, I was hooked and realized not only the benefits of staging, but the benefit of having Linda, not myself, talking to the owner and explaining what needs to get done, she has a way of explaining things that shows her passion and genuine love for what she does. I highly recommend Linda to many of my friends in the business and continue to work with her today. Before you decide if this is right for you or not, just give Linda a call and meet with her, then decide… Don’t think of it just as home staging, think of her as your personal interior designer. Thanks again Linda!”
