GraceAnn Simoni, the Midwest’s premier award-winning real estate staging expert, has been in business since 2001 training industry professionals and helping residents enhance the resale value of their homes.
FIRST IN STAGING PROGRAMS She was among the first to offer staging programs in the region, and she has since trained hundreds of individuals from around the world. Students attending her highly-acclaimed five day certification classes receive personalized and nurturing instruction in small, intimate settings. GraceAnn is known for the extraordinary staging service she has provided more than 1000 homeowners in Wheaton, Woodridge, Hinsdale, Naperville and other Chicagoland communities. She develops long term relations with her clients, often works with different generations of the same family, and gets much of her work from referrals. She has staged five homes for a single client, and set them up in each of their new residences.
She is also a gifted interior consultant who advises homeowners how to save time, money and stress as they prepare their homes for resale. Many of her clients are retired empty-nesters, and they value her insights on topics ranging from changes in the housing market to aging in place. Area realtors also regularly reach out for GraceAnn’s expertise. As an interior redesign expert, she excels at helping clients stage their homes by using the furniture and accessories they already own. “Interior redesign is my passion,” she points out. “I tell clients that they don’t have to buy new, that they should honor what they have.” IN THE MEDIA Her work has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, on ABC TV and in a variety of other media outlets. Her company, Staging Redesign Group is backed by a resource team of some of the area’s foremost contractors, carpenters, painters, kitchen and bath experts, window fashion specialists, and other professionals, along with a national network of vendors and suppliers.
GraceAnn is an active member of the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) and is a board member on RESA’s local chapter. She founded and offers training through the Staging Redesign Group, and teaches staging and redesign seminars at a community college and at other area locales. GraceAnn is also a Licensed Real Estate CE Instructor.

Every stager has a voice and is now able to actively participate in the growth and direction of THEIR industry. RESA® gives your voice a platform to be heard. RESA® is working hard to bring legitimacy to the staging industry through public relations and marketing efforts on a national level. As with REALTORS®, it is important that every stager belong to RESA® so our voice is strong, heard and understood.
Many thanks again for all of the great information and advice that you gave us. It is empowering to look at your home from the perspective of being a seller. Or, in my case, of preparing to be a seller just in case something in my life changes that forces me to become a seller. One thing I know now is that I am nowhere near ready to move.
Take care and enjoy the almost Spring weather.

Shock? I could not believe my living room/dining room could look so good. I now have more floor space and the rooms are balanced.

Creatively “out of the box” thinking. I was a little skeptical, but now I’m a believer.
