"Robin is fantastic.  I was in the process of cleaning out and preparing my father-in-laws' home for sale.  He and his family had lived there for nearly 50 years.  It had good bones, but was terribly dated. Robin came and advised me on what colors to paint every room and encouraged me to have all of the doors and trim enameled in white. She also gave me advice on what items in the house should be updated/upgraded for the least amount of money with the greatest return.  I put new knobs on the kitchen cabinets, new toilet and sink in two bathrooms, put contractor grade light fixtures throughout the house, swapped out all light switch, outlet plates, and air registers.  <br /> After all of the upgrading and painting, Robin then staged the house in such a way that helped potential buyers envision how they might use the space.  Every item from rugs, furniture, pillows, accessories, lamps, pictures etc was perfect for each room and the house no longer looked like "grandpa's", but like a  "pottery barn" showcase.   <br /> Before implementing Robin's plan, real estate agents estimated that the house would sell for around $250,000-$260,000.  After doing the painting and the upgrades and having her stage the place, the house sold in 19 days with a bidding war for $315,000. <br /> I would say she was WELL WORTH THE COST.  No doubt about it! <br /> In terms of some details. She has a team of other stagers in the area who share a common warehouse of furniture.  She uses a professional moving company to bring in the furniture and to take it out. She promptly answers her phone and returns messages.  Time to set up was about 4 hours.  The average cost per room was $200 and we bought a two month plan.  I would recommend the two months because it helps with the bank appraisal and inspection."

"Sue is a delight to work with. We used her services to decorate a rental home in Naples. Sue is professional, creative and budget-conscious. Everybody who sees the home is so impressed with how nice it looks and the pictures look amazing for the rental listing. I highly recommend Sue."

"Fabulous! Sharon offered helpful suggestions on flooring, cabinetry, and paint colors as we update our current home. She offered recommendations on where and how to place our current furnishings to make the most of what we already own. She gave us a comprehensive list of items in our home we might want to update and items to purchase in the future (as our time and money allows) to make the most of our home for our family to enjoy. We are grateful for Sharon's talent and "decorator eye" to guide us. We have also used her previously for staging and were extremely pleased. Well worth the money."

"She and her husband, Jeff, were really excellent. Jen is the listing agent and Jeff is the photographer/buying agent half of the team. We sold the house (Western suburbs) in 48 hours with multiple offers which is a result of the house, the market, and the realtor. Having said this, Jen was incredible to work with. She helped us (greatly) stage the house, had excellent marketing materials, and was thoroughly professional. Excellent follow-through, always punctual, very pro-active, good strategizer. Plus, she and Jeff are exceptionally nice people. We interviewed some other realtors who were very pushy or all about themselves and chose Jen and Jeff because they weren't. I would recommend them to my friends and use them again if I were silly enough to move again."

"It was time to update the living room after over a decade. Emily provided a workable floor plan for a room with an unusual configuration. She worked with me to narrow down color choices that I love and that work well for the space. She went furniture shopping with me. I purchased a sofa, accent chair, and recliner chair within my budget. She paid great attention to detail and to the size of the furniture. The best thing was that she co-ordinated the fabrics in a way that really works. I would have been lost with so many choices, but with my input, she helped me make choices that make the room have the exact look I wanted. It took less than three hours with her friendly, helpful advice. <br /> We also went carpet shopping together at a wholesalers. There were too many choices, but she had some ideas and we kept narrowing down to make good use of our time. Emily co-ordinated the installation with painting and furniture delivery times. I am very pleased that the room looks modern and functions well. it has a professional put-together look. Classy, yet comfortable and inviting. <br /> Emily also helped me decide on an updated color for the master bath. It's a bright lime green, which I had doubts about at first, but now love. It's cheerful and fresh. I would have gone too dull. <br /> Emily is prompt and personable. She has a great eye for color and details. I really felt like we worked <strong>together </strong>to get the look I  wanted. I feel she is very affordable and got me a good discount on carpeting. She was also very conscious of the budget I needed to work with. <br /> I am currently working with her to get some other projects done. If you want a plan and not a mish-mash, I really suggest you go with Emily Korf. Her knowledge and skills saved me time and money by getting exactly what I wanted. <br />"

"My partner and I recently had the pleasure of working with Jeff Norberg of Huerkamp Home Group (HHG) as our realtor. Jeff and HHG helped us sell her condo in Minneapolis and helped us buy a home in Hopkins. We chose Jeff as our realtor after meeting with a handful of other options as we sought listing proposals for the condo. Jeff proved to be a reliable, responsive, and punctual professional who went above and beyond to meet our needs. One of the things that stood out to us about Jeff was his low-pressure approach, letting us drive the process. Amid a hot housing market, Jeff prepared us for the realities of selling a condo versus a house. For example, he always communicated news about showings, feedback, and offers in the context of his experience, without sugar-coating, keeping our hopes in check. HHG helped with listing, staging, photographs, and the standard transaction documents. Although we were several months away from buying, Jeff took us to showings throughout the western Twin Cities Metro Area to better understand our preferences. He was generous with his time and accommodated our needs, e.g. letting us preview the condo listing for our approval, adjusting the default terms of the listing agreement, and scheduling showings to our convenience. Once the condo sold, we moved into buy mode. Jeff kept us grounded through the roller coaster of busy showings, offer preparation, and waiting for responses. He respected our budget and was clear about the pros and cons of our offer strategies. Jeff kept us moving forward after several of our offers were declined. Fortunately, the sellers of one of those properties came back to us after another buyer backed out. Late that night, Jeff went out of his way to call us and coordinate the acceptance of our original offer. HHG supported the whole transaction, from listing alerts and legal docs to inspection and closing. We highly recommend Jeff Norberg and HHG. We would definitely work with them again."

"great, good ideas. very professional."

"We purchased this home in a wonderful old neighborhood but due to many years of neglect it was in desperate need of extensive remodeling. After our work was complete it was time to stage the home and put it on the market. I had reviewed and interviewed several home staging companies and concluded that Shar Sitter, owner of Rooms With Style was the right person for the job. Although the price was slightly more than others, I felt her sense of style, attention to detail and professionalism was worth it. She also pulled everything together and actually staged the home in an amazingly timely fashion. Shar staged the living room, dining room, maim floor bathroom, master suite, sitting room and master bath. Our realtors, friends, family and other realtors that have seen the house were blown away with Shar's work. Since seeing how Shar staged our house, our realtors contracted her to stage another one of their listings. After the house sold, Shar came in and quickly removed all of the furnishings and accessories, leaving the house in perfect condition. I highly recommend Shar Sitter and Rooms With Style and look forward to working with her on future projects. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Wonderfully! We HIGHLY recommend Melanie! We had just moved into our first home, and didn't have a lot to work with and weren't sure what to expect. Gratefully Melanie did an amazing job helping us identify easy & affordable quick fixes to make our home more beautiful. She also shared helpful insight into DIY projects we could take on, her experiences, and projects we could wait and think on. We loved her insights into setting a color scheme based on what we already had, and how to best mesh different styles with our home. We will likely use her services again, and can't say enough good things about her support!"
