A little about us...
Sparrow Homes is owned and operated by Susan Hartford and her three daughters, Jessica Sutton, Shelby Howerton, and Katie Barlow.
These resourceful and determined women found a rambling, romantic piece of countryside, and created a wedding venue and three romantic cottages. Like sparrows, who collaborate to build their nests, Jessica, Shelby, Katie and Susan have woven their visions into one, and worked together to bring it to life.
Creating and designing the wedding venue brought about a love for designing spaces. Since then, they have designed and built several homes. Whether it's organizing your forever home or helping you stage your home to sell, they would love nothing more than to help you transform your home and turn your dreams into a reality.

All about staging...
Having a professionally staged home is the first step in selling your home. The objective of staging is to present your property in the best possible light and to make it stand out from other homes currently on the market. Staging creates a setting that allows visitors to visualize residing in the home and is an integral step in effectively packaging and marketing a property.
Occupied Home Staging:
We will walk through your home and discuss strategies that will transform your home into just what buyers are looking for. This visit will take up to 2 hours and then we will provide you with a detailed assessment for each room, recommending de-cluttering, furniture arrangement, organization and optimizing your space.
Our fee for this service is very simple and is based on the size of the home. We charge $150 for every 1,000 square feet. Then you can hire us to make the transformation or do it yourself. If you do it yourself, you owe us nothing more. If you hire Sparrow Homes to do it, we will charge a fee of $50 an hour to provide and stage your home with our beautiful home accessories. You will be able to take gorgeous "after" photos of your staged rooms and use these for your online marketing. At the end of the day, we will remove all of our inventory and let you start planning the next chapter in your life.
Vacant Home Staging:
Homes that are vacant are in need of thoughtful staging and this is our specialty. We have a large inventory of beautiful and tasteful home accessories for every room in the house, all the way from a hand-picked oak dish scrubber to fully stocked bookshelves. We also have a large selection of furniture if the space is completely empty. We have spared no expense in picking out timeless and beautiful items that will give your home a welcome and warm feeling at your Open House.
Our fee for this service is a flat fee of $500 for up to 4 hours of staging, if no large furniture is needed. If you would like to have us stage your home with furniture, the flat fee is $1,250 to stage up to 3 rooms, adding $300 for each additional room. After viewing your home and making a detailed action plan, we will come to your home two days prior to your Open House weekend and set the stage for buyers to fall in love. You will be able to keep the staging inventory up to 3 weeks and then we will come back and lovingly pack our things away. Do you need to keep our accessories longer? Each additional week costs $100.
Our downtown office/event space has all of our design elements that we would be happy to walk you through. Call or email to make an appointment today!
