Barbara Heil-Sonneck founded Design2Sell in 2007 and runs the firm from Marietta, Georgia, serving sellers, agents, and builders across Metro Atlanta’s residential real estate market. The company specializes in residential home staging, luxury home staging, model home staging for builders, interior design, and short-term rental styling.
The firm’s proprietary approach, branded as “The Staged to Sell System,” operates in three steps: a complimentary preview consultation with a customized assessment and staging plan; professional staging with curated furniture and decor installation; and a market launch phase. Design2Sell claims staged homes sell 50% faster with a 6 to 12 percent higher sale price and cites a “$23.34 ROI per $1 invested” figure.
Three service package tiers accommodate different home values and scope requirements. The Essentials package starts at $2,500 for homes priced under $800,000 and covers three areas of the home. The Premium package expands to four to five areas. The Luxury package addresses five to eight areas with senior designer involvement. A Pay-at-Close staging program allows qualified sellers to stage before listing and defer payment until closing.
Service coverage extends across a wide swath of Metro Atlanta, including Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Alpharetta, Roswell, Marietta, Decatur, Dunwoody, Johns Creek, Kennesaw, Acworth, Brookhaven, Canton, Cumming, East Cobb, Smyrna, Suwanee, Vinings, and Woodstock.
Design2Sell holds a Top 10 national ranking sustained for eight or more consecutive years. Industry credentials include HSRA Mastery Level certification and ASID Firm Partner status. 2025 recognitions include the IAHSP Superfecta Winner award and Best of Georgia honors.
