Staging helps to make your property appeal to a broader audience by giving it a welcoming appearance. Staging highlights your home's unique features and depersonalizes it so that potential buyers can see themselves living there. Vienna Home Stagers is our trusted partner in staging because of her proven success over more than a decade in the business.

We're Here for You.

Red Dress Realty Group was formed just before the pandemic of 2020 entered our lives. We quickly adapted to the changing needs of our clients. We believe that masks help save lives. We want to reassure our clients that their health and safety and that of their family is our top priority. We conduct online meetings wherever possible and we practice physical distancing when we meet in person for showings. We take 35-50 photos and use video to showcase their home online. Open houses, should the client request them, are conducted with the strictest guidelines in place. We will continue these measures as long as necessary.
