Life & Work with Sandra Matt of Parker and surrounding areas

Today we’d like to introduce you to Sandra Matt.

Hi Sandra , thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I spent over 25 years as a manager at Del Frisco’s Steak House in the Denver Tech Center. After transitioning from that role, I sought a new professional pursuit that combined creativity, personal passion, and financial opportunity.
I have a strong appreciation for the creativity that home staging offers. Earlier in my career, while I was a stay-at-home parent, I worked alongside my mother decorating the homes of friends and colleagues—long before home staging was formally recognized as an industry.

Two years ago, when a longtime colleague and friend of 25 years relocated from Denver and transitioned out of her staging business, I purchased ownership of the company. While I initially had some reservations about stepping into the role, I met with the real estate agents she referred and quickly reestablished those relationships.
Since then, the business has been operating successfully, with over seven agents who consistently work with me. Today, my mother and I run the business together, combining experience, reliability, and a strong commitment to quality service. In addition to being professionally rewarding, it allows us the opportunity to work closely together.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It’s been an incredibly rewarding journey. Like any business, there have been challenges along the way, and the two biggest have been transporting staging inventory and navigating vendor availability. During busy staging seasons, vendors often sell out of popular, high-demand pieces like high-end sofas, coffee tables, and bedroom furniture, which can sometimes affect timing and selection.
That said, these challenges have also pushed me to be more creative, flexible, and resourceful—skills that ultimately lead to better solutions for my clients and stronger outcomes for each home.

Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I built a long and rewarding career at Del Frisco’s Steak House, starting as a hostess in the 1990s and eventually managing a highly successful restaurant team for more than 20 years. Throughout those years, I learned that great service goes far beyond the table—it’s about truly connecting with people, making them feel seen and valued, and building relationships rooted in trust and care. Those are skills that can only be learned through time, experience, and genuine commitment to others.
I’m incredibly proud of the relationships I formed along the way, spanning many industries and lasting well beyond my time at Del Frisco’s. Those connections, and the support that came with them, gave me the confidence and community I needed to successfully launch my own home staging business.
Giving back has always been just as important to me as building a career. For the past 10 years, I have served on the Board of Food For Thought Denver, a 100% volunteer organization dedicated to ending weekend hunger for children in the Denver Metro Area by providing PowerSacks of food for weekends. In my role as Grant Writer, I am grateful to support a mission grounded in a simple belief: no child should ever go hungry.
Community, gratitude, and service are values I carry with me in every part of my life, and they continue to guide both my work and the way I show up for others.

What matters most to you? Why?
Giving back to the community is at the heart of who I am, both personally and professionally. I truly believe that the way we live our lives shows up in the way we work. When we lead with honesty, empathy, and accountability, those values naturally carry over into our relationships and the businesses we build.
Leading by example helps create trust and meaningful connections, and it reminds us that success is about more than individual achievement. Being involved in the community is not something I take lightly—it’s a privilege that brings perspective, deepens gratitude, and keeps me grounded. These values guide my decisions every day and shape how I care for my clients, my work, and the community around me.
