“Jody is very creative with her décor ideas seems to find the perfect fit of furniture and accessories”

Jody and her team are a great staging company, they get their work done in a timely efficient manner. Jody is very creative with her décor ideas and always seems to find the perfect fit of furniture and accessories for the space regardless of the size or style of the house. Many times, the new homeowners ask to buy her furnishings after seeing how well she decorated the house. I would recommend Lovitt by Design to anyone who wants to work with a creative and energetic designer.

“I loved what she did so well with the houses I was selling”

I have had Jody stage home for me serval times and her décor always look fresh, up-to-date, and original. Her accessories are creative and unique, and she has amazing ability to visualize a room in new ways using existing furniture as well. I wouldn’t think of selling a home without using her! I loved what she did so well with the houses I was selling, I now use her at my own home to help with décor needs. She’s simply amazing.

~ Anne Sanford

“Jody’s Home Staging and Design in Toledo, Ohio is just what I needed for my business!”

Jody is just what I needed for my business! She’s amazing and has earned her keep. As a realtor, she helps me sell homes FASTER and FOR MORE MONEY. Her service pays for itself. She has an eye for knowing what works, consistently delivers a quality product and meets deadlines. I truly don’t know how she does it. Together, we’ve created some great success stories for our clients. I’m honored to be along for the ride.

Her attitude is infectious. We deal in a lot of high-end homes, and we know she is always available to help us out.

"When we decided to sell our home, we were skeptical about the additional expense of having our house staged – after all our house was in a great neighborhood. Our realtor recommended that we have our house staged by Jody. His experience had been very positive, and he felt staged houses sold quicker and for more money. He was absolutely correct. In two days, we had 7 offers and sold our home for $25K over the asking price. So, if you ask me, is staging with Jody worth it? My response is, absolutely YES!!!"

 

~ Sherry Whitaker

"Jody is tremendous. I’ve been working with her professionally, and recently engaged her service personally. Our clients LOVE her, and we always receive wonderful feedback. Personally, I’ve been impressed with even the small things she’s helped with in our house that have made us love our home even more. She’s perceptive, motivated, and gentle with her delivery (which is a special thing when someone is coming into your home and telling you how to change it!). She’s also been very conscious of our budget and navigated those waters gracefully as well. I highly recommend Jody to anyone looking to make their space comfy and fabulous, but maybe don’t have an eye for it yourself."

 

~ Jody Zink

"I have used Lovitt by Design to stage two different houses. They do such a beautiful job and make the rooms look even bigger. I am convinced that it helped me sell these houses faster. It definitely gives people an idea of what all can fit in each room instead of looking at just empty space. I would use them again in a heartbeat. Thanks, Jody, for doing such a great job."

 

~ Carol Walls

"Jody brings so much more than furniture. She positions rooms in a way that smartly portrays potential. What she did magically transformed the way I physically felt when I entered the home. I am convinced that her staging highlighted even more creative possibilities than I initially ever considered. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to meet and work with Jody Lovitt."

 

~ Jeanann Perkey

~ Justin Vandemark

"We live in California and purchase a second home in Ohio – sight unseen (other than online pictures). We LOVED working with Jody to get our new home ready. After lots of texts, FaceTime, and phone calls with Jody, we arrived at our new home with freshly painted walls, new carpet, furniture, a bed to sleep in, even TV’s. She has a keen eye for color, design and aesthetics and considered our likes and dislikes. We would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. She works tirelessly to make everything just right – so when she is done – you LOVITT!"

 

~ Karen & Steve Davis

"Jody has the magic touch – or shall I say, the “Lovitt Touch!” She cared about the presentation and outcome of my home for sale as much as I did. Jody is pleasant, flexible, talented, and communicative. She delivered a captivating experience, full of whimsical accents and vibrant color palettes – when walking through the stage home. Indeed, we had multiple offers, all above list price within hours of listing the house. Now I see real estate listings without staging and immediately think, “this needs Jody!”

 

~ Shannon Pelini

"I have had Jody stage homes for me several times and her décor always looks fresh, up-to-date and original. Her accessories are creative and unique, and she has an amazing ability to visualize a room in new ways using existing furniture. I wouldn’t think of selling a home without her."

 

~ Anne Sanford

"Jody did a wonderful job staging our home. She worked hard to incorporate a lot of our personal art and décor but added in exactly the right pieces to make every space balanced and appealing. The furniture she selected to replace our well-loved pieces was “perfect” for the rooms and she created just the right balance of comfort and elegance – our home looked beautiful but also warm and welcoming. We had an offer after 2 days, and I’m confident that Jody’s handiwork played a part in the quick sale of our home! "

 

~ Laura Guenther

"Jody is my go-to residential stager. The fact is, when a homeowner makes the investment in staging their home, the home will sell both aster and for a higher dollar amount. With a 30-year background in interior design, I can recognize when a home is properly staged. Jody is an A++ in her field!"
