Smart
Move Design partners with Realtors,
builders, relocation companies and
homeowners to sell a home quickly and
for top dollar. We consult, recommend,
redesign, and even shop – giving the
home a look buyers will love. We provide
lived in and vacant homes with that
"model home" look. We service areas all
around Central New York from Utica to
Auburn and Syracuse to Alexandria Bay.

Taylor Regal joined Smart Move Design in
September 2008 from a varied
background in the Home Furnishings
arena. In 1989 Taylor relocated from
California to work at the MacKenzie-Childs
Ltd studio factory in Aurora,

Testimonials:
Lisa Ryan is just a delightful person to work with - she is not the
typical designer. Lisa goes the extra mile to make
sure that your home is staged to SELL, From the
beginning of our projects - picking paint colors,
room details, ordering furniture, accessorizing and
providing pictures of the end results
Recently we started using her Virtual Tours on our
Real Estate Listings and with one house we had over
740 hits and a purchase offer from a couple in
Oregon (we are in NY). They were looking to purchase
a home for their Graduate student and put the offer
in, just from viewing the Virtual Tour.
I could continue with descriptions of Lisa's many
other good qualities -her work ethic, energy, and
her creativeness to name three. Instead I would
simply like to say how much I think of Lisa and how
strongly I would recommend her for any task that
involves a high level of commitment.

It is amazing on how much of a difference your
little touches made on the inside!! The outside
looks great – thank you for all of your hard
work. We should have gotten you involved way back in
the Spring when the house was finished
Thank you SO much!!
Isa (Syracuse)
I am thrilled with the staging in my house! I showed it to
a few friends who were somewhat skeptical as to why we would
do that. They are not skeptical anymore. We love it! Thank
you.
