WHY DWELL?
WHat Our Clients Are Saying
WHY DWELL?
What does “IN-HOUSE” MEAN? We own all of our furniture (nearly 100 homes worth!), we have our own trucks and logistics teams, our designers are Dwell employees, and we have a 13,000 sq ft warehouse full of on-trend inventory that’s replenished monthly. This means every aspect of your stage is meeting our exceptionally high standards.
We have been named TOP 5 and 10 NATIONAL STAGING COMPANY by HSRA 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018,2017,2016,2015, and TOP 10 IN THE COUNTRY by RESA for 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016 and BEST OF HOUZZ in 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015. We’ve been featured on HGTV, national design blogs, news programs and leading real estate publications. We set the industry standard for quality design, client service, and efficient processes.
We invest $30,000 per month in new staging inventory, train extensively in interior design AND interior marketing, and commit to buyer-targeted design on every stage. We know there’s an art to staging, and a psychology to buying. We get inside the head of who a home’s target buyer will be, and tailor our staging plan to that buyer. We ask this about each property: 1. Who is the buyer? And more importantly… 2. Who does this buyer want to BE? How can we tell the story of who this buyer is on their BEST DAY?
All of our 4 or more room Premiere and Luxe vacant staging packages include FREE gorgeous real estate photos. Because we believe staging is a marketing experience, not just filling your listing with pretty stuff.
The current average days on market for our staged homes is 5 DAYS!
Our process is thorough, tested, and easy. Check it out here.

This is owner Jeff Kale. He owned the furniture rental business where Kristy rented her stuff. A Tampa native, he grew up playing football and moonlighting on the middle school math league team. He studied business and finance at UF, then his over-achieving aS$ started building a business. After helping grow Happy’s Home Centers into 14 locations in 5 years by the geriatric age of 29, he was ready for a new challenge. He was also intrigued by the idea of learning to coordinate throw pillows running a creative endeavor. Alas, his artistic career highlight was a 1st grade finger painting still hanging on his mom’s fridge. Lucky for him, he knew someone who could teach him the nuanced difference between magenta and fuchsia.
In 2017, Jeff and Kristy joined forces. No, they are not a couple. Kristy is old enough to be Jeff’s mother, or at least a very cool aunt. But they began a business marriage of sorts, marrying Jeff’s flair for business and love of chaos with Kristy’s design and branding talents and love of color-coded process manuals. Within one year of the Dwell Home Staging re-launch, they had built a team of 12 and grown their revenue to $1 million. In 2018, they opened Dwell Villa, their AirBnB/Vacation Home Design division. In 2020, they expanded into a 26,000 square foot South Tampa location, doubled their team, grew to a 3 truck fleet, and opened Dwell Home Market. Humbled by the constant stream of customers, they are ever grateful for their freaking ROCK STAR team that is bringing Dwell’s signature “designer look with a down-to-earth vibe” to all of Tampa Bay.
This is owner Kristy Craig Anderson. As a child she refused to play with Barbies, but boasted an impressive collection of homemade Barbie furniture. She was a middle school assistant principal for years, but in her free time would force encourage her friends to let her redesign their houses. So she got certified in home staging and design, filled a shelf in her garage with thrift store decor, and started Dwell Home Staging in 2014. Within months she was staging full time, hired 3 more stagers, and got a small warehouse next door to a questionable massage parlor. She sometimes rented pieces for her projects from a local furniture rental company, where she annoyed the staff with her obsessively beautifully color-coded charts of furniture requests and schedule demands. She was booking jobs faster than her team could fulfill them, and she need to expand. Fast.
