About Me


Hi, I'm Diane Keyes.
As one of the original home staging professionals, I've been bringing my innovative approach to the real estate industry for more than twenty years.
Now, I've written an informative, easy to read book on Home staging. This book is designed for both home sellers and for realtors.
My unique talents have brought me 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 me.
I first began teaching classes in 1988 and have since taught my staging methods to many realtors seeking to fulfill their continuing education requirements.
Now, I want to share these secrets with you.
Along with great staging advice, I think I bring an 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.
I have a second book, Spirit of the Snowpeople, soon to be released by DownEast Books, several books in the works, and my poetry has been performed at the Center for the Arts in Bloomington, Minnesota for the past three years. I'm not only a pioneer in the staging industry, but I think a pretty good author as well. Writing This Sold House was a natural step for me as I continue to find better ways to help homeowners sell their homes quickly and profitably.
I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota with my husband Tom and our married children.
Come visit my we site, www.thissoldhouse.biz , to learn more.
The book is available on-line now.
