Sometimes the best ideas
come when least expected and
creativity can come from change.
During 2008, when DFW and
most of the country experienced
a real estate recession, Hannah
Gigley was still listing and selling
homes at a much higher rate
than her competition, despite
the overwhelming odds.
In a troubled market, she set out
to help the many people who
were in the unfortunate position
of having to foreclose on their
homes or go into a short sale
position. Homes were just not
flying off the shelf and there was
an overwhelming amount of
inventory just sitting in the DFW
marketplace. Homeowners
would sit, in tears at the listing
appointment, asking what else
they could possibly do to sell
their homes.
Hannah saw a need and
recognized an opportunity
- the need to enhance the
look of her listings with her
personal design flair in order
to set them apart from the rest
and SELL. Her husband would
often come home from work,
and ask jokingly if they had
gotten robbed because they
were missing furniture, lamps,
and pictures from their walls.
Hannah took those personal
items to her clients’ homes, who
just didn’t have the money to
go purchase items or pay for a
staging company, due to the
expense. She did whatever it
took to save her clients’ money
and enhance her clients’ homes
with her professional staging
and yes, she got them sold.
Interior design and home
decorating came naturally to
Hannah. She owned a decorating
and sewing business for several
years prior to her successful real
estate career. With accessories,
additional furniture and artwork
she gave her listings the extra
boost needed to set them apart
from the competition.
This strategy and vision became
a reality when her staging
company, Luxe Staging Co., was
born in 2011. She soon brought
on a fellow home decorator, Jill
Lee, (who is now her Lead Buyer’s
Agent) to assist with the staging
and home design for her clients.
After meeting and exceeding
the expectations of hundreds
of clients over the years, and
having clients ask, over and over
again for help getting their new
homes decorated just like the
staged home they had just sold,
it was time to take the staging
and now decorating business
to a new level: Luxe Staging and
Decorating Co. was born!
