Amanda Gibson, owner and lead designer of The Finished Touch Designs is a Certified Staging Professional (CSP) and Master Color Consultant. She's an active member of the Real Estate Staging Association (RESA) National, former Secretary of the RESA Orlando Chapter Board and a member of the Home Staging and Redesign Association (HSRA). Amanda is an approved and licensed continuing education (CE) instructor under Principles of Home Staging with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) and Florida Real Estate Commission (FREC). She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and post graduate courses in interior design. Amanda uses her extensive knowledge of design principles, color theory, 25 plus years of experience and a hands-on, detailed-oriented approach to every project.    

I love what I do because it enables me to implement my two passions - interior decorating and education. In addition to my creative side, I teach CE classes to agents & brokers. Home staging requires me to be equal parts designer, educator and psychologist. As a Certified Stager and Color Consultant, I understand that buyers primarily choose a home based upon their emotional connection to it. It's very satisfying, exciting and challenging to me to educate realtors and homeowners on the importance, benefits and value staging adds to a property before its listed in the real estate marketplace.
