Leslie Eicher

Leslie Eicher is obsessed with home design.

Long before staging homes became a recognized profession, Leslie was perfecting her craft to sell her own homes. After each of her homes sold much faster than the market average, usually at full price, the idea of staging as a professional endeavor was born. Before she knew it, friends were asking for help with their homes (kind of like when you own a pickup truck…).

Seven houses and four states later, Leslie landed in Kirkwood, a suburb of St. Louis. She decided to turn her passion for home staging into a career, and became a Certified Staging Professional through CSP International and is a member of the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA). She regularly attends conferences and events to ensure she is on top of sales data and current design trends.

Leslie takes great pride in the personal connections she makes with each seller. She is motivated by the unique challenge presented by every home, and feels that her clients’ success is her success. By combining her design savvy and home selling experience, she is able to do what she loves and help Realtors®, developers, flippers and home owners cost-efficiently showcase their home and speed its sale.

It’s a win-win.
