Want your model home to do the heavy lifting?
Let’s talk. Book a complimentary Discovery Call to see if we're the right fit. Then, let’s get that Vacant Consultation on the books.
Whether it’s a starter home, an occupied listing, investment property or a luxury model home, every property deserves to stand out.
Get your questions answered below.
Because even in fast markets, presentation drives price. A consultation aligns the home with buyer expectations, boosts perceived value, and sets your listing up for stronger offers. No second-guessing—just a strategic action plan that gets results.
Everything. From furniture layout to lighting, color, scale, and style—we assess the entire property with a buyer’s eye and a designer’s brain. You’ll get room-by-room recommendations, including what to remove, what to highlight, and what small changes can make the biggest impact.
Most take 1.5–2 hours, depending on the size of the home. You’ll walk away with a detailed checklist and a prioritized design strategy tailored to your listing’s price point, location, and ideal buyer.
Yes. For out-of-area listings or tight timelines, we offer virtual consultations with photo or video walkthroughs. You still get the same expert insights and actionable styling advice—just done remotely.
Because photos sell the home before a buyer ever steps inside. Styled to Shoot ensures your listing looks magazine-worthy online. We dial in the final details—pillows fluffed, lighting perfected, accessories adjusted—to create scroll-stopping shots that capture attention and drive showings.
We style every room to be camera-ready. This includes lighting tweaks, furniture positioning, accessory layering, and on-brand styling that speaks to your target buyer. It’s a powerful marketing tool, and it makes your listing photos pop.
Absolutely. We typically schedule this right before your photographer arrives, so the home looks its absolute best the moment the camera starts rolling.
That’s where Finishing Touches comes in. We layer in just-right accessories—like art, pillows, lighting, and décor—that elevate the look without requiring a full staging install. It’s fast, impactful, and cost-effective.
We shop with intention—online or in-store—based on the home’s style, budget, and market. You’ll receive clickable links, a shopping list, or full-service sourcing with local pick-up coordination. Ideal for listings that need that last 10% of polish.
Both. Sellers love it when they want to DIY but need help finding the right finishing pieces. Realtors love it when a home needs more style but doesn’t justify full staging.
Laurie’s staging was a game-changer. From her Top Ten Impact List to photo day, she made our home shine—so much so that the photographer didn’t need to move a thing! We got an offer within ten days and tons of compliments on the design. Her guidance made showings easy, and her pieces even work in our new home. I am so grateful for her talent, kindness, and eye for color!
As a high-end real estate agent, my partnership with Laurie since 2013 has significantly contributed to my success. Laurie’s Visual Marketing Plan Consultations and meticulous attention to detail consistently enhance the “wow’ factor and perceived value of m listings.
Laurie has the remarkable ability to turn my listings from ordinary to extraordinary. After Laurie’s expertise came into play, a previous listed property that had lingered on the market for over 400 days was sold in just 28 days.
We have hired Laurie many times to stage our model homes (75+ model homes) in the Twin Cities since 2013...she does a great job with bringing our models/specs to life to show how they can be lived in by our customers who walk through them. Thanks, Laurie, for everything you do and continue to do!
