Chicagoland Home Staging of Dolton

Chicagoland Home Staging of Dolton is a home stager in Dolton, IL. The business stages homes for sellers and works alongside real estate agents, offering vacant home staging, occupied home staging, and staging consultations. Vacant home staging is described as its specialty, with a design consultant visiting a property to recommend which rooms and areas to stage for the greatest impact. Occupied home staging involves redesigning and arranging items the seller already owns, while a consultation provides a buyer's-eye assessment of a property and recommended solutions for sellers who are living in the home while it is on the market.

The team brings more than 30 combined years of full-time staging experience. Its approach uses design science and a set of techniques meant to lead people through a walkthrough, including places to pause, lanes to walk, sight lines to gaze, and empty space so buyers can picture their own furniture. The business calls this the "Yellow Brick Road." Its designers have been recognized with nominations for Top 75 People in the Real Estate Staging World, the Most Influential People in Staging, and four wins as a Top 10 Professional Home Staging Team. Their insights have appeared in the Wall Street Journal, Associated Press, LUXE Magazine, MSN, DuPage Real Producers, and the Chicago Tribune.

Margaret Gehr founded the business in 2005 after studying at the Harrington Institute of Interior Design in Chicago. Kathy Lobkovich joined in 2008 and became a managing partner in 2012, bringing a B.S. in Business from Marquette University and experience in marketing and project management for Fortune 500 companies.
