TLC Home Experts

All About TLC Home’s experts, and how we can help you achieve your goals.

Terry L. Cooch, Founder

Terry founded TLC Home, LLC in 2008 as a Professional Organizer logging hundreds of hours helping individuals get comfortable and functional in their homes. Terry knows how to make a home attractive too! She developed her love of design and added staging to her services. Terry became an ASP certified Stager in 2012. Though now TLC Home solely offers staging services, Terry’s previous experience as a professional organizer gives her the know-how to offer practical ideas in her staging consultations, reducing the overwhelm and empowering homeowners to take on the tasks needed to get their home sold. She loves hands-on occupied and vacant staging too, and is always excited to hear her staged home sold on Day One, getting top dollar and often multiple contracts!
