In this insightful episode, host Janine Igliane and co-host Ryan Hatcher sit down with Tiana Cole, founder of Blank Slate Staging.

Tiana’s journey into home staging began organically after styling her own home and helping friends achieve incredible results. What started as a passion quickly turned into a business, leading her to launch Blank Slate Staging in Northern California in 2019. After relocating to Arizona in 2025, Tiana relaunched her company with the same people-first approach, meeting sellers where they are and helping them navigate what can be a stressful season with clarity and confidence.

This episode goes beyond décor and design. Tiana breaks down why staging plays such a critical role in selling a home, how buyers form emotional connections before ever stepping inside, and the small details that make a massive difference in both photos and in-person showings. From kitchens and bedrooms to entryways, smells, and maintenance, she shares practical, real-world advice that helps sellers position their homes for success.

If you are a homeowner preparing to sell, a real estate professional looking to elevate your listings, or someone who enjoys thoughtful conversations about business, service, and intentional living, this episode is one you will not want to miss.
