About Us

Since 1990, the lead auctioneers at Luxury Estates and Home Staging, Wayne Wheat and Leb Kemp have been selling high end furnishings, handmade rugs, fine art and home décor. We select only 2 homes per month to stage and promote for the home seller and/or realtor.  Over the years we have expanded our merchandise to include Fine Art, Bronze Statuary, Home Decor, Accessories along with New Quality Model Home Furniture.

The Luxury Estate staff create a professional staging of your home.  The open house typically results in a turnout of over 100 prospects looking at the property and who may also have other real estate needs.  The realtor is encouraged to set up an area in the house to meet and greet all persons that attend the open house and to collect information from those they may be interested in the property or interested in looking at other properties or selling their own.

If you have never attended one of our auctions, we would like to invite you to attend, as it will be a fun auction experience.  If you have been with us before, we hope you will join us again.

There is a good reason that the most expensive artwork, cars and real estate are sold through auction marketing.  We bring together a large qualified group of buyers and the realtor/ homeowner has the ability to choose to sell the property at auction, or just entertain offers on site during the home staging weekend.  Wayne Wheat and Leb Kemp have sold more than 25,000 homes at auction since 1990 and do not charge the seller a commission or fee of any kind!

Testimonials

"

"The extensive marketing they provided to get my home sold was incredible! I will only admit it now ...it is easy to tell LUXURY ESTATES AND HOME STAGING have massive amounts of marketing experience! I couldn’t have picked a better team to work with! Tony was amazing with the 3-day set up and protected the floors and walls and treated the property as if it was his own. The estate items and home décor that they added was very attractive and transformed the look of my rooms.

Wayne, Leb and the girls registered all the visitors and provided a highly entertaining environment, even while social distancing!

Thanks for everything we look forward to referring you to friends and family!"

Lina M., Memorial Drive, Houston Texas

“We’ve used another staging company several times but Luxury Estates and Home Staging blew us away. From the $10,000 rugs on the floor to the fine art and furnishings, everything looked amazing.  We registered over 120 prospects that were interested in the home or in us listing their home. This was an open house event on steroids!”  Thank you so much Leb and Wayne!

Jennifer W, Piney Point Road

“I decided to put my bed and breakfast up for sale and contacted Wayne Wheat.  His team tastefully augmented my antiques with high quality Persian carpets and fine art.  The event was even covered by the Austin American Statesman!  We registered over 300 people in 2 days!  The home sold at live auction for quite a lot more than we were going to list it for.  Thank you Wayne Wheat and team!”

Leigh Marcus, Georgetown Bed and Breakfast

“Wayne Wheat and Leb Kemp have sold several thousand properties for us in the past 10 years.  These guys are just plain good!”
