Laura's home staging company, minimal in design, llc, is geared to help homeowners sell their homes for top dollar in the competitive realty market. hiring a good designer/stager to prep a home before it goes on the market can help the home sell for a lot more than an un-staged home..... and that's a huge return when it's all said and done. 

 

laura and the MID team take a lot of thought and care with each home so it has the absolute best resale potential.  One of the attributes of laura and the MID team's designs, is to take much consideration to detail, along with the quality of staging articles presented in the home to ensure the best presentation.

 

this is more than a business for laura, it's a passion, and with that said, It's important to take time with every project and make it beautiful!

 

spending the last 20+ years in set design for global advertising photoshoots, it was a natural and easy transition to include home staging and home design to laura's expertise.

 

Depending on the style and location of the home, laura will design accordingly, being a minimal modern aesthetic, to a cozy lived-in feel, boho chic, and/or a beautiful blend of all.  

 

laura and the MID team are very reliable and organized with every project and have wonderful relationships with all the lovely real estate agents and developers in town. No matter what happens, we will get your home staged on schedule... We take much pride in our efficiency and professionalism.
