When I put my house on the market, I had no idea how to 'sell' it. Ann's staging of the house was beyond words.  The transformation was amazing.    Everyone who came to see the house commented on it!    Ann is a top notch professional.   I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone who is in the process of selling their home.

Thank you for taking our very average home and transforming it into a beautiful showcase. By using what we already had, you created optimal layouts in every room and your commitment to excellence and detail were evident throughout. Your services far exceeded our expectations and really made the difference in a difficult market. Staging works!

My Well-Dressed House, courtesy of Anna Sember, helped me to achieve an early sale of my condominium in Rhinebeck. She emphasized the attractive features of the place—outstanding views, for example--with her well selected furnishings and her well-thought-out arrangements. Her advice was very practical and very helpful and contributed greatly to my feeling of confidence when I placed the property on the market. A stellar performance, Anna.

Many, many thanks. Kay Etzler


I have known Ann for many years, she had been a client of mine when selling her home and buying another in the area.  She was the perfect client at that time, ever mindful of keeping the house "just so" for all showings, and was very much like a partner with me in accomplishing the goal of getting the house sold for the best price.  Ann had an uncanny ability to remember the tiniest details, putting my memory to shame!
 
When Ann told me that she was thinking of a career in Home Staging, I was instinctively and instantly very encouraging.  I knew she had the stamina, drive, and attention to detail the job demanded.  I also knew we were sorely in need of new stagers, especially with our declining market.  In this market, homes have to be presented to their utmost best advantage in order to have a chance at selling at all, let alone for a good market value.
 
Once Ann got her license I put her to work right away.  She won the heart and confidence of my clients right away, and didn't back away from a challenge.  I tested her on some fairly difficult homes, and she helped me sell them in record time.  Smart as a whip, and quick and strong, with a great sense of style and flair for making even the most awkward spaces seem comfortable, Ann is truly an asset to any Real Estate Broker looking for ways to improve chances of making a sale in a timely fashion.  Of equal importance, and something I cannot stress enough, Ann is a truly wonderful human being with a gigantic heart.  She can empathize with sellers and their stress, no matter if it's from the monumental task of moving 30 years of accumulated stuff, or simply from the psychological attachment to "home"... I defy anyone to find a seller who will not be helped by Ann's faultless "bedside manner", if you will, and who will not grow to appreciate her as I do.  This fact alone will help any Broker with the "moving on" process involved with all sellers, and is totally invaluable. 
 
Ann can stage anything from an empty home, to a hoarder’s home! 
 
I cannot recommend Ann highly enough.  Please feel free to call me for any further information you may require.  Thanks.

Anna's staging was outstanding! The home was on the market for over a year prior to staging and we had an accepted offer in just six weeks! The sellers could finally move on with there future dreams. With the market as it is, sellers need every advantage they can get! Thanks Anna.

Ann Sember Staged two homes we had listed on Pearl Street in Kingston. The homes had been on the Market before in the previous year. They had not sold. A brief time after Ann staged the homes we had interest. The homes not only looked beautiful to potential buyers, her staging helped buyers work through issues they had in their minds with the positioning of furniture in certain rooms. As an example many buyers could not visualize furniture placement in the master bedroom in one of the homes. Ann positioned a queen sized bed and dresser in the master with plenty of room to spare. The fact that Ann was able to help us sell these homes quickly in a difficult market speaks for itself. We have her to thank!

While visiting her sister in Naples, FL, Ann Sember offered to help decorate our clubhouse for the Christmas holidays. Her innate ability to find the perfect place for ornaments and other decorations was a great help.  We had rave reviews from the members.

We were looking for options to help us sell our very lovely listings on Pearl Street in Kingston. Usually Pearl Street sells itself however, in these difficult times we decided to try the newest rage -"Staging". Frankly, I was skeptical. To my surprise in just a couple of days our stager Anna Sember from The Well Dressed House took our cold, vacant homes and transformed them into warm and welcoming. Anna remembered everything right down to the cloth pins in the utility room as well as the coffee beans in the mugs on the kitchen table.

Within three weeks we had offers on both properties. Anna made a believer out of me.
