Meet Leah
Leah Gomberg is the founder and owner of Sweet Life by Design, a women-led home staging company with over 20 years of success.
Dedicated to empowering homeowners with the tools they need to sell their homes faster and for more money, Leah has built a trusted brand recognized by realtors and clients. She specializes in guiding sellers through what is often their most significant financial—and emotional—investment: their home.
The process begins with a comprehensive staging consultation, resulting in a personalized list of recommendations (a “map to success”) for presenting the home at its absolute best. This clear, itemized list outlines what the homeowner should complete in advance and what Leah and her team will take care of on staging day. As one recent client described it, staging day feels “stealthy and incredible… like a reality TV show but better!” The final result is more than just a beautifully styled home that resonates with buyers—it’s a meaningful step in closing a chapter with the home itself.
Leah and her team understand the emotional weight that often comes with selling a home. With empathy, encouragement, and an expert eye, they gently guide homeowners through the process, transforming any property, old or new, while respecting its unique story and character.
With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work from NYU, it’s no surprise that Leah consistently hears feedback like, “You really listened,” “I don’t feel judged,” and “It still feels like my house, just even better.” Her ability to connect with clients on an emotional level is as central to her work as her design expertise. One of the greatest compliments she receives is when clients say, “Come to my new house and make it look as gorgeous as the one you staged!” Leah doesn’t take these words lightly. She approaches each project with care, empathy, and a genuine appreciation for her clients’ emotional journey. Through Sweet Life by Design, Leah leads with heart and vision—transforming spaces and brightening futures, one home at a time.
How we do it
We start with a consultation, working with you to assess the contents and overall condition of your home.
From our evaluation, we create a plan designed to play up your home’s unique features, declutter to improve flow and functionality, update where necessary, and create a desirable living environment.
We present you with a proposal that is cost conscious and craftily filled with detailed room-by-room recommendations to bring clients the best results possible.
Once a client receives the staging recommendations, it’s best to contact Leah as soon as possible to secure a spot on her staging calendar. Staging typically takes one day, and photos can usually be taken the same day the home is staged.
The end result photographs beautifully, invites more traffic, and sets the stage for a quick and successful sale.
