About The Staging Fashionista

Hi, I'm Manuela "Mannie" Tantawy and I'm an APSD certified Property Scene Designer and the President of The Staging Fashionista.  I graduated from the School of Interior Decorating at Ashworth College in 2003. I have always had a passion for rearranging, decluttering and decorating my own home and the homes of my family and friends.  My friends refer to me as "Martha Stewart, Jr."  As Martha says – that is a good thing!   Although this has been my passion since I was 9 years old, I did not pursue my dream until my later years.  

Home staging and decorating brings out my creative side. Twenty years in public service has not done much for my creative side but home staging has given me this outlet. My second passion is helping people achieve their goals and objectives.  Due to my human resources background, I have worked with individuals from all walks of life and I have a knack for really understanding people, as every person is different and so are their needs, wants and requirements.  So my number one priority is to provide the best customer service possible to all my clients. I take pride in serving people with a smile and a positive attitude and really listening to what they want. I understand that selling a home is stressful and that many times the reason for selling is not necessarily a want but a need due to unforeseen or unfortunate circumstances.  

My goal is to provide courteous and honest feedback and to lessen the burden on the home owner or realtor to get a home prepared for the market.  I provide affordable options to clients that satisfy the customer, maximize their equity and gets their home sold.  My customer service skills and my ability to work with diverse cultures and backgrounds are skills that I pride myself on and I want my clients to be satisfied throughout the process.  After all my client's success is my success.
