Sold in a Day: How Seamless Staging Helped our sellers Earn $88K Over Asking
Selling a home is one of life’s most stressful experiences — balancing timelines, emotions, and big decisions while trying to present your property at its very best. For our sellers in University Hills (a sought-after St. Louis neighborhood), the stakes were high. With busy careers, family schedules, and a relocation already in motion, they knew they needed staging they could trust to deliver.
Enter Olive + Opal.
From the first consultation to final styling, our mission was simple: take the entire staging process off their plates — and execute it flawlessly. We curated the perfect furniture, accessories, and design elements to highlight the home’s architecture, showcase its full potential, and capture buyers' attention from the moment they walked in.
This project was in collaboration with Krissy Hof, one of our trusted realtor partners. We’ve had the opportunity to stage many of Krissy’s listings over the years, and every time, the process is a true team effort built on trust, communication, and shared goals. As Krissy puts it:
“As a realtor, Olive & Opal are my go-to stagers always and forever! Their communication and organization is unmatched — from scheduling, to install, to removal. I know when I book Olive & Opal for a listing, everything will be done properly, on time, and they always exceed my/my clients’ expectations. Any time I recommend staging with Olive & Opal, I am confident that I am setting up my clients for success on the market!”
The homeowners echoed that same experience:
“From start to finish, our full home staging experience with Olive & Opal was exceptional! Not only did our house look amazing, but the process was so easy. They truly think a step ahead, and take care of everything to make the process for sellers seamless! Selling can be a stressful process, and we are so thankful to the Olive & Opal team for being a part of it. We highly recommend them!”
The result?
This beautiful St. Louis home was under contract in just one day— selling for $88,000 over the asking price.
Professional staging doesn’t just make a home look good — it creates a competitive advantage. In today’s fast-moving St. Louis real estate market, buyers are making decisions quickly. Our goal is to help every listing stand out and sell for top dollar — while making the process easy for both sellers and agents.
