Susan Bourassa of Coast to Coast Interiors is proud to provide concierge level, compassionate home staging services, tailored to the specific needs of her real estate clients. As a military spouse who was constantly on the move, I was accustomed to redesigning living spaces. In addition, my background in marketing made the idea of staging homes for sale even more enticing. Based in Burke, Virginia, Coast to Coast Interiors serves the DC/Maryland/Virginia area, known as the DMV.
“I always had an interest in staging, but the timing wasn’t always on my side. As a military spouse who was constantly on the move, I was accustomed to redesigning living spaces. In addition, my background in marketing made the idea of staging homes for sale even more enticing.”
Susan is a Certified Staging Professional® from RESA® Accredited Education Provider, CSP International™ with a degree in marketing. She is the former President-Elect and current member of the RESA® Greater Capital Area Chapter.
“I believe that we are stronger as a cohesive industry. A group of likeminded professionals can make a much larger impact on the real estate market than the sound of a single voice.”

When faced with a struggle…
Respond with grace!
When you are in a rut creatively where do you go or what do you do to get out of it?
Magazines and catalogs are my go to, but I believe inspiration comes from everything around us. That is one reason I embraced moving cross country again and again. Living and traveling to different regions fills your subconscious trunk of knowledge. Inspiration is a cumulative package of our lifetime of experiences.

Mexican Food!
My morning ritual is…
Breakfast, Coffee, Emails, Appointments!
