Kathy Burke moved from a highly successful career as a Senior Vice President with Wells Fargo Bank to creating a premier home staging business in the East Bay: Sensational Home Staging. After early retirement from finance, Kathy saw an opportunity to merge her creative design skills with her strong business sense and customer service background. Bringing these skills to the newly emerging field of home staging has been key to her success.

Kathy has transformed homes throughout the East Bay since 2005 using a contemporary style and elegance. Home Staging is about appealing to the buyer’s emotional response and creating a sense of must have. Sensational Home Staging’s focus is to set the stage with a stunning installation making a home showroom perfect and ready for market!

Since 2011 Kathy’s exceptional work in home staging has been honored by her peers in the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA). Her award winning staging includes:

  • 2014 BEST Occupied Home Staging
  • 2013 TOP 10 Professional Stager of the Year ~ United States
  • 2013 TOP 10 Re-Design ~ North America
  • 2012 BEST Occupied Staging
  • 2011 Finalist ~ Stager of the Year

Kathy has branched out into “after-sale” work as many sellers are so happy with her staging that they ask for her help in Re-Designing their new home. Working with homeowners to identify and match needs with style and function so they may better enjoy, and live in their home.
