Testimonials

  

"I will absolutely be using Melanie for future staging, and I highly recommend her to other Realtors and home owners looking for a talented and reliable stager/designer." 

   

"Melanie has the eye of a top knotch designer for staging.  She took my condo from a single person environment to a Hilton Hotel look! My condo sold in 30 Days because of her great staging and incredible look." - Paul Ostrowski

"Hi Melanie, Thank you for a job well done. Wish I had the house presented that way when I lived there!" - Sara & JC

"Melanie did an amazing job staging our home.  She came into our home and walked from room to room  to get a feel for the house, and deciding what to use or not use of ours in the staging process.  When she was ready to proceed she came back with helpers to move or remove the heavy  objects, and replaced things that really set off the house.  She has an excellent eye for what will look good where.  She completed the whole job very quickly and efficiently...  Our house sold very quickly and I think it had a lot to do with the great job she did staging our home.  I recommend her highly."  - Geri Potter

"Melanie and her crew were amazing to work with.  I recently remodeled a townhome and wanted to have it staged before selling.  I was extremely happy with how the staging turned out.  Melanie has an eye for design and pays attention to the details.  She chose furnishings and pieces that complimented the overall style of the house and accentuated the floorplan.  The house looked fantastic, and every single person who toured the property commented on how great it showed.  It sold in two weeks, with multiple offers, over asking price, and I have no doubt that Melanie's staging was a key part of that result.  What's more, I truly appreciated that Melanie was able to get the house staged and de-staged with short notice.  I will absolutely be using Melanie for future staging, and I highly recommend her to other Realtors and home owners looking for a talented and reliable stager/designer."  - Melissa Lin, Beechwood Realty

"It was a pleasure to work with Melanie in preparing my home for sale. I want to emphasize that she "worked with" me by sharing various ideas and options, and considered my ideas and needs so that I could still live in the home without feeling like a visitor. Together we created an inviting home that received multiple offers. I am convinced her input and guidance is what enabled us to get the price we wanted for our home."  - Chris Hilton, Homeowner  

"Melanie’s work is fabulous. She most recently staged for me a small condominium and did a brilliant job. She filled the small space with character and class and her work showed the many visitors to the home the potential that existed. I believe that without the furnishings and accessories this home would not have sold as fast as it did!" - Greg Peralta, Intero 

"I’ve been working with Melanie for at least 5 years now and use her on each property that I list to make sure that we don’t leave any stone unturned when it comes to preparing a house for sale. She works with my clients in a professional manner, easy to work with, very efficient and gets the job done on time! I would not even think of listing a home without at having Melanie’s Staging Consultation Service completed. I would highly recommend her services to anyone selling their home." - Mike Lombardo, Intero 

"Melanie did a fabulous job in staging my home in this very tough market. Not only did she stage my home but guided me from the beginning on exactly what I needed to make the home desirable. Neither the advice or staging was expensive, in fact, very reasonable and I appreciated the result...SOLD." - Larry Lynn, Home Owner 

"Wow, I have great news. My unit that you staged in Paseo Villas has sold! There are four other units for sale including a low priced bank owned property, but the one that sold is the one you staged. So that is wonderful!"  - Chris Munro, Home Owner 

"Melanie is a professional colleague I rely upon to service my own customers. She is an expert in her field who offers great customer service and is a true team player. When she is on the job, I know my customers are getting the best in the world of redesign and staging." - Jaylene Kent / Nationwide Floor & Window Coverings  

"Melanie, I am convinced that your staging helped get us top dollar. You will definitely continue to get my business in the future."  - Kip Barnard, Coldwell Banker  

"Thank you Melanie for rearranging my office. You came in with fresh ideas that made my office feel warmer yet professional. As in many times in the past, I will continue to refer you to as many clients as I can because of the results you achieve and the pride you take in your work - it really shows."  - Michael Craighead, Broker/Owner First National Real Estate

Thank you for all your hard work. Our house looks so presentable and neat. We are doing our best to keep what you did in place. I love that bedding in our bedroom!!
