Crickets Crush Home Staging

Cricket Burns helps you sell your home. While hiring Cricket is expensive but competitive for someone with her talent and high quality of inventory. Her staged homes sell faster and for a higher price. These facts have been proven over and over again. One broker said, "It's cost less to spend money hiring Cricket to stage your home compared to the cost of a price drop to sell your home." Her learned "eye" for what looks good in a home comes from 25 years as a NYC magazine stylist and editor. The transition to designer/stager has paid off. She has completed design work for a variety of clients in New York City, The Hamptons, and the Metro New York area. Her work has been published countess times in HC&G, NYC&G, Beach, Hamptons, Avenue and Quest. She's known: As a talented style maven who understands the clients needs.... easy to work with....provides amazing work quickly... she's just gets the job done! One big difference to Cricket’s service is that her decorating business is uniquely supported by her online consignment business. Cricket has over 50,000 sq ft of amazing home furnishings she personally curated. She curates from a list of “who’s who” of stylish homes in the New York area. Past Real Estate clients include many of the top real estate broker in New York City for the top companies. Successes include: • After months on the market, the owners hired Cricket to stage their upper east side 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment sold in 1 week. • In 2022, Cricket successfully staged over 20 apartments in New York City. All of these large apartments required full staging and painting. After overseeing the painting and staging each home with her unique traditional and eclectic decor, all of the apartments sold with several weeks. • A recently single woman needed Cricket to design her 3 bedroom apartment in New York City. She cried with joy when she came home from work to see what Cricket had done to her apartment in just a matters of hours. • Grandparents gifted Cricket services for their grand daughter’s first apartment in New York City. Cricket’s flare with pop art and contemporary chic hit the sweet spot with the gen-Xer. • A Soho building developer hired Cricket to stage 6 model apartments in their newly renovated rental apartment building. The challenge was showing how tiny living can be super cool. They loved way the small apartments scaled up with Crickets decor. • Several builders in The Hamptons have used Cricket's staging services for newly completed estates in Southampton, Bridgehampton and Watermill. The "working mom home office" is at the top of list of rooms builders want Cricket to create.

Since I can work very fast using my existing inventory, I don't get into "delays" associated with custom made decors. Thus, the relationship I have with my clients is always very very good. Not only do I get jazzed about hitting the desired aesthetic, I love when the project is done quickly. The speed at which I can transform a home really astonishes all of my clients. This job gives me a sense of great satisfaction when I know the owners finally have a home to enjoy!
