         “Our house sat on the market for an entire year with very few showings. Courtney identified the problem after a ten minute walk through. She said that the house was too formal for people to imagine themselves in with their kids!! With a few modifications to each room, Courtney turned our house into an environment that any family would want to “play” in! The showings became non-stop and we had a contract on our house just a few weeks later. Not only were we able to sell our house effortlessly, but I feel as though I made a new friend, as well. Courtney is wonderful!‎”  ~ L. Hammel, Homeowner
       “Courtney from Austin Simple Staging came in after a another decorator had steered us the wrong direction. She took that persons bad advice and redefined it to make our Circle C Ranch home stunning. It helped us close the house in 14 days. Courtney was able to take our furniture and decorations and completely redefine the flow of our home. Then she recommended some great paint colors on a couple walls for icing on the cake. I would recommend her services to anybody looking to spruce up or sell their home.”  ~ David C., Homeowner
      “I have followed your ideas and decorated my art niche….and I LOVE it!  I have been staring at that niche for 5 years and could not figure out how to use it.  And now it is beautiful…and we are trying to sell!   Figures!  Everything else is starting to come together and is looking so beautiful.  Thanks to YOU.”  ~ Julie F., Homeowner
       “Thank you so much for your fabulous help yesterday in helping us get our house in tip-top selling condition. Your ideas and suggestions were great and we’ve already got a HUGE start on implementing them. The areas we worked in last night look SO much better!
If I’d known a new ceiling fan would have made such a difference, I would have changed it out long ago!  Thank you Courtney!”  ~ Lori C., Homeowner
“I hire Courtney for one simple reason. Her advice and work help me sell homes more quickly and for more money.  By getting the buyers emotionally attached to a home, we are getting faster offers, with the ability to better defend the asking price.” ~ Realtor- Earl Price, Team Price Real Estate, Austin TX
I have had the opportunity to see the results of your services on my listings, I would like you to stage all of my listings.  The average days on market for the listings that you have staged for me is 12.5 days.  And percentage of sold to list price has been over 97%.  I can simply not argue with these numbers. 
Even beyond the concrete results of your work, I really appreciate your pleasant demeanor and positive attitude with my clients.  The feedback from my clients has included… “She is a doll!”  and from another client… “She is gold!” So, thank you very much – and I look forward to working with you for many years to come.~ Realtor- Seth Koppel, Tex Homes, Austin TX

“Thank you….thank you! You made my condo ready to be put on the market. It looks picture perfect. The first showing wants to put down an offer! Comments on our place have been “shows fabulously!” You have great ideas that don’t cost a fortune. Thank you again for all of your work and great decorating eye.”~ H. Brown, homeowner
“I have worked from home for over three years and never felt situated in my workspace. Because my workspace has to be multifunctional within my everyday life, I have never been able to find the perfect balance that lies between a tidy office and home until now. When I met Courtney and told her about the hurdles in my limited office space she immediately had ideas to transform it into a mobile office. This will allow me to change the scenery of my workspace within my apartment as often as I choose, as well as put away my filing system when we have company. This will also allow me to easily move my office when we buy a home. I also expressed budget constraints, therefore asking for an awesome workspace on a limited budget and not thinking these two items could go together, but she definitely proved me wrong! Courtney made it all come together within a reasonable budget, a very short time frame and no stress at all while exceeding my expectations with style and functionality. My work day is more stream lined and efficient now. Courtney shows passion for her projects large and small which shows in the end result.”~ S . Gale, Homeowner
   “It was such a pleasure meeting you and seeing you at work!  I really appreciated your honesty, taking into account expenses and prioritizing what pieces of the staging would be essential.”  ~ Linda, Homeowner   
    “I hired Courtney to come into my home office, which was a cluttered, disorganized place that I hated spending my days, and make it organized. In a short amount of time, Courtney transformed this room into my favorite place in the house. She found a place for everything, so that my room is not only pleasing to the eye, but is still organized almost 8 months later. She stayed until every detail was completed, including labels for all of my files. I was so impressed, that I hired her to complete the decor for the rest of my house. Courtney is the first decorator with whom I’ve worked that works with my style instead of trying to change my style. She is awesome!‎”  ~ D. Williams, Homeowner
   “I had the pleasure of working with Courtney Unangst owner of Austin Simple Staging to prepare my home for sale. What a talented gal she is! She came into my home with such creative ideas! I had a specific room that was causing buyers to struggle. I hired Courtney to come in for a two hour consultation and we went to work and made the most out of the room. The best part was we used what I had! She is a blast to work with and my home was under contract within 16 days! I would highly recommend using Courtney & Austin Simple Staging!‎”  ~ D. Wallace, Homeowner
     “Courtney came into my outdated house with enthusiasm and a positive attitude!  She turned my house into a user friendly home while making it look and feel like a model home. Her flare for decorating is apparent in her finished product. Courtney is a delight to work with – always professional and productive while having fun.”  ~ J. Widetich, Homeowner
   “I was so impressed with Courtney’s ability to see through the clutter and disorganization in a room and find the beautiful simplicity that can be achieved.  In a matter of hours she transformed my kitchen from the family’s central mud room into an elegant cooking and meeting area, and my bathroom from a laundry room to a spa — complete with scented candles!  The end result provides prospective buyers or guests with a relaxing yet functional space.”  ~ M. Cech, Homeowner
