As Seen in Real Producers Magazine: Bringing Style to Every Home I Sell

Being included in Real Producers Magazine was a proud moment. It’s a publication that highlights top-performing real estate agents across the country—people who are building strong businesses and stronger relationships in their communities. For me, it felt like a reflection of the hard work, attention to detail, and design-focused strategy I’ve poured into every listing I’ve taken on.

I didn’t build this business by following a formula. I built it by making homes feel more desirable—from the inside out. That’s what made me stand out in a competitive market. And that’s the story I’m proud to keep telling.

Before real estate became my full-time career, design was already in my DNA. When my husband and I relocated to North Carolina with military orders, I quickly realized how much impact a home’s layout, color palette, and staging could have on a buyer’s first impression.

At the time, we were first-time buyers dealing with a tight military timeline, and I saw how important it was to walk into a home and feel something. That insight stuck with me and as I began working with sellers, I knew staging wasn’t optional. It was essential.

From day one, I incorporated staging and design into my process, often doing the styling myself. I’ve since staged everything from vacant homes to high-end coastal properties, each time using design to highlight what makes the home special. The result? My listings didn’t just show better—they sold faster and with greater ease.

Real estate is an emotional decision long before it’s a financial one. Buyers walk into a home and decide in seconds whether it feels right. That’s why thoughtful design isn’t just a nice touch; it’s a strategy.

A well-staged home tells a story. It shows buyers how a space can support their lifestyle, their routines, and their dreams. It gives context to open layouts, warmth to blank walls, and flow to rooms that might otherwise feel disconnected. Whether it’s adding texture to a coastal living room or creating a cozy reading nook in an unused corner, every design detail helps paint a picture of possibility.

Today’s home search almost always starts online. That means your listing photos need to work hard and fast. When a space is styled well, it draws people in. It stands out in a sea of generic thumbnails and gets more clicks, more interest, and more foot traffic.

Design plays a huge role in that. I think about how each space will photograph, how the colors will look on screen, and how to create focal points that stop a scroll. The same attention to design that helps a home feel great in person also helps it perform online.

Over the years, I’ve intentionally kept my business boutique. That means I take on fewer listings at a time so I can deliver a higher level of service. I’m hands-on with staging, design selections, vendor coordination, you name it. And it’s not just about making things pretty. It’s about creating a smart, tailored strategy that helps sellers feel confident and supported from day one.

Clients don’t just hire me to list their home. They hire me to elevate it. I bring in furniture, style the space, recommend small upgrades that make a big difference, and guide them through every decision. It’s this design-first approach that helps my listings feel unique, move faster, and ultimately stand out in any market.

Being recognized in Real Producers Magazine didn’t happen because I focused on volume or flashy marketing. It came from building trust, offering consistent results, and leaning into what makes me different: the ability to see a home’s potential and bring it to life through design.

I’ve always believed that how a home feels is just as important as how it looks on paper. This approach has helped my clients achieve faster sales, stronger offers, and a smoother experience from start to finish. Seeing that work recognized among other standout agents was a great reminder that staying true to your strengths really does matter.

For most people, selling a home is personal. It’s not just about contracts and comps; it’s about letting go of a chapter and preparing for the next one. That’s why I lead with empathy and design in equal measure. I want every client to feel proud of how their home is presented and empowered by the process.

Whether I’m working with military families relocating under pressure, sellers prepping a long-time home, or clients listing a luxury beach property, the goal is the same: to make their home shine and the journey smooth.

If you’re thinking about selling and wondering how to make your home more marketable, more memorable, and more beautiful, I’d love to help. My approach combines design, strategy, and service to create an experience that’s both elevated and personal. Contact me, Savannah Holman, today to learn how we can style, stage, and sell your home—beautifully.
