Early career
Cheryl Eisen’s career began when she launched her first company, an executive search firm called “FindNetwork” at age 24. Shortly after, due to the dotcom bubble burst, Eisen was forced to rebuild her career from scratch. She began working as a real estate agent, staging her own listings. Eisen soon discovered a crucial niche in an underserved market and decided to launch her own luxury staging and interior design company.[15][16]
She founded Interior Marketing Group, Inc. in 2007;[17] a 90% women-run interior design and staging firm that reinvents luxury properties to help them sell faster and at higher prices. She now serves as President of IMG, and works closely with the team to produce unmatched results.
Eisen, recognized for her uniquely effective design style, is frequently cited as an authority on New York City real estate and staging.[14][18][19] In 2012, The New York Times featured her in a cover story titled "Ruthless Came the Stager," discussing how Eisen transformed a West 17th Street Apartment in New York City in less than two weeks.[1]

In 2013, Real Estate Weekly features how The Sheffield, purveyors of high-end housing located on West 57th Street in New York City, chose Eisen to stage the fifty-fourth story model home where they would be hosting the 2013 VIP Broker's brunch.[28]
