One of the country’s first homestagers, Diane Keyes has been bringing her innovative approach to her home staging career and the real estate industry for more than twenty years. Her unique talents have brought her to four-star restaurants, multi-million-dollar island get-aways, and thousands of private homes. And when they needed someone to prepare the state mansion for
the Swedish royal family the governor’s wife called Diane.

She first began teaching home staging classes in 1988 and has since taught her staging techniques to many realtors seeking to fulfill their continuing education requirements.

Along with consummate staging advice, Diane brings understanding and insight to the complex psychological issues surrounding the sale of a home, a much ignored but vitally important facet of real estate sales. Bringing together her years of experience staging homes for sale and her writing ability, Diane has written This Sold House, a do-it-yourself home
staging guide designed to teach the average homeowner how to stage a home to sell quickly with the least amount of money, time and effort. This Sold House has been endorsed by Joan Steffend host of HGTV’s Decorating Cents and is already considered the ultimate source of staging information by many realtors and homeowners alike.

Also an accomplished author, Diane’s children’s book, Spirit of the Snowpeople was released by Down East Books last fall and sold out the first printing less than three weeks after its publication date.
