Home Staging Project reviews

Realtor : Cord Shiflet *

Moreland Properties  |  Austin TX

Anyone need an AWESOME home stager?  I used this woman for the first time and she KILLED IT!  This was probably the biggest nightmare situation any stager has ever incurred with regards to timing and execution.  She was planning a family trip the following day and canceled it to stay and complete this job.  Her pricing was extremely fair and her furniture looked awesome.  We received multiple offers on the house and closed it this week for WAY WAY WAY over asking.  WAY.  OVER.  ASKING.  

If you need any help or a 2nd opinion I hope you'll reach out to Minol.

Minol is hands down the absolute best at her craft and services our real estate team of 9! 

Anytime we have a project for a client or for our own personal needs, Minol is the brains and the artist behind it! 

Our real estate team is of the top in Austin and we work with Minol oftentimes on a weekly/biweekly basis! She gives design 100%. 

We use her services for vacant stages, occupied stages, new build consultations, remodel projects and design consults for new homeowners!

I've used several stagers and am hard to please,  but since we met Minol a few years ago we've never looked back!

Minol is a wonderful stager. I have utilized her services for my last 8 listings with great results. She will go the home and do a consultation and leave no questions unanswered. She tells the homeowner exactly where to put everything and what paint colors to use if needed. 

She starts with the outside of the front of the house and goes through every single room and closet offering input on home accents, furniture configuration, and organization until she gets to the back yard.

Minol also offers full-service staging for vacant homes as well as hourly services for homeowners who need her help with setting things up. Her advice is priceless when getting ready to put a home on the market.

Minol at Studio M did a great job staging our property! It was challenging due to the house's layout, but she did a fantastic job putting in furniture that was the perfect size and shape to showcase the space. We went under contract the first weekend, and I think the staging was a big part of that - definitely money well spent!

Thank you for all your staging help for our Avery Ranch listing. The advice you gave our client about de-cluttering her home, arranging furniture and choosing paint colors was so good that after the home was staged we decided to list the home for more money than we had previously suggested. 

We have worked with other stagers in the past. It has been difficult for us to find someone like you who treats staging like a professional business. 

When we are hiring a stager to help our clients we need to know we can rely on the stager to keep the deadline & provide recommendations in a timely manner so the home can hit the market at exactly the right time. 

I appreciated your professionalism and know that we can rely on you to do a great job for our next clients. 

We look forward to you helping us get our next listing sold!

Minol came for a staging consultation to help decide which items we should leave in the home to use for staging the home as we prepared to list our home for sale.  

As she walked through our home, she was able to identify items and offer suggestions on placements, color choices, art work that would enhance and accents to draw the eye to specific features we wanted to highlight. 

It was great getting these tips because I have a very distinct personal style but the goal was to sell our home, not to exhibit my style choices and collectibles.  

Because I needed to be in our new location before the photographer would arrive and I knew how important great photos were to getting interested buyers to the home, I also arranged her finishing touch services on the day of the photos.  

I could not have been more pleased with the finished product, her suggestions clearly show pops of color in the photos without being overpowering, drawing your eye to a specific feature, highlighting the spaciousness of our home, in a way that would allow potential buyers to imagine their furniture in the space.  

I am certain that the time our home was on the market was reduced tremendously by having Minol's professional services in staging and photography preparation.  

Plus I picked up some great tips for decorating our new home.....

Minol, we appreciate what you did for us yesterday with the staging services. 

Thank you very much for the home staging consultation service you provided !  

The Staging Report you prepared for us will make it very easy to stage the house, as we can simply use it now as a checklist and check off each item you suggested we do, as we go from room to room to stage them.

I enjoyed working with Minol.  She is a very talented home stager, and knows her stuff very well. 

As a realtor it is important to have a good stager set the house for successful offers. 

You will not go wrong with Minol Shamreen.  I look forward to working with her on my next listing !

When we first decided to sell our house my thought of having to "show it" made me cringe. I knew I was going to have to get rid of some things because it was so cluttered. I also didn't want to have to "stage my home". 

Fast forward to Minol. What a great job Minol did of showing me how to downsize the furniture in my living room and bedrooms to show them off. I was kicking and screaming at the thought of changing things around because it was a lot to do, but our house sold with the first person to look at it. 

Now that we are moved and are looking for a new home I am amazed at how hard it is to really "see" the houses on the MLS through all of the owners "things". I get so frustrated that many times I pass up on a beautiful home because it is too hard to envision myself with all their things cluttering up the rooms. 

I am forever grateful that Minol showed me how less is more. Thank you Minol

Minol Shamreen helped with the staging of our house, when we were getting ready to sell our house. 

She was very professional and gave suggestions that were very practical and yet did not affect the functioning of our household. 

She has a keen eye and can make small changes that bring about a big effect. A very talented designer indeed. 

Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help in decluttering, organizing their homes or staging.

I have high expectations for everyone I hire to assist me in marketing and selling homes. 

Minol recently helped me in staging a home for sale and did not disappoint. 

She did a premarket walkthrough with my client giving her very specific instructions on what to buy and where to put it. After Minol's visit the house was completely transformed into an elegantly staged property that showed extremely well in pictures and in person.  All the colors and design elements she recommended looked great. 

The house sold in 2 days at a record high price! 

I highly recommend Minol and am happy to have her as my staging partner.

Minol has great insight into staging house interiors. 

She gave me great tips & ideas on staging the dining room and also provided guidance on color and lighting choices for the living room. She has good knowledge of the latest styles. 

She also suggested minor improvements that were easy to make and inexpensive. It gave additional elegance to the rooms and were the key selling points at the time of sale. 

Home Staging Client:  Dawn Lewis , ATX

 Minol is an absolutely pleasure to work with and has a great eye for all the details! She helped me stage my home just a few weeks ago and we are about to close next week! Minol and I did a video walkthrough and I sent several pictures of EVERY room and she sent me a detailed list of all the suggestions we discussed on the call and them some. I consistently sent her pictures and asked for advice almost daily including up to the last few minutes before my listing went live. Minol was always quick to respond and super nice and amazingly helpful! My home looked incredible! 

I highly recommend Minol!
