My team, The House Angel Team, as used Melinda to stage many of our listings which have always sold quickly after staging them. We love her professionalism, and I know many Realtors who also use her services. I highly recommend her. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Charlotte~ I'm so happy I've been able to work with you and your team and your Sellers! Hugh Graham and Mossman are some of my favorite stagings this year, and you are right - they sold quickly with staging! Here's to a smashingly successful 2017! **★★★★★ — Kevin Mullaney, Nov. 2016** > LOVE Melinda! She has fantastic taste in home staging and really makes my listings POP! would recommend her to any one looking to get their home ready to sell or just trying to decorate a home! **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thanks Kevin! I really enjoy working with a Real Estate Pro like you! **★★★★★ — Eric Dopslaf, Nov. 2016** > Melinda and her team are amazing. MAP Consultants are our go to staging and interior design company. The professionalism, timeliness and customer satisfaction is always top notch!. Melinda and her team have enabled us to help our own customers, while also increasing our business as well. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Eric, thank you so much - it is a pleasure to work with you, Deanna and the team at http://discoverabqliving.com/ **★★★★★ — Linda Joyce, April 2016** > Melinda is awesome. She staged a listing of mine that was vacant on the market for almost six months and it sold two weeks after she did her magic! **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thank you Linda for giving me the opportunity to be of service! I hope it is the first of many! **★★★★★ — kara6298, April 2016** > Melinda is a true professional! As a Realtor, it is difficult to win a clients trust, while telling them they need to take down all their personal photo's, clean the home, and declutter. Melinda is able to not only do the above mentioned with ease, she is also able to get them to do amazing things for a quicker, higher dollar sale. Your potential sellers will take you much more seriously when you tell them you, "Hire your weakness", and will have a professional stager come in and coach them on the best way to showcase their home. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Kara, I'm grateful for the chance to work with you and your Sellers! Thank you so much! **★★★★★ — Linda DeVlieg, April 2016** > The best EVER in staging advice and services. Melinda puts together an easy plan for your clients and customizes it to their ability and style. > > She's my go-to staging and design professional! **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Really enjoy working with you Linda, thank you so much for the opportunities you send my way! :-) **★★★★★ — mike6712, Dec. 2015** > Melinda staged a mid century house in a way that impressed everyone who saw it. She also promoted the house through her social media network. She was true to her budget and it felt like the results were worth every penny. Melinda is professional, creative, and generous. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thank you so much for the opportunity to be of service on this one, Mike. I hope it is the first of many to come. **★★★★★ — anneimal\_44, Dec. 2015** > Melinda meets with all my clients for a consultation on how to make their home show better then any other homes on the market in their area. Melinda is prompt in contacting my clients and setting appointments. She is extremely respectful of the homeowners and their home and belongings. She provides them her insight into the market and the little improvements they can make to help their home sell quickly. She is very through in the follow up with the clients. She also offers full staging and design work to them at great prices. Melinda's final presentation shines! I would recommend her to any realtor or seller looking for assistance in selling homes quickly **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thank you so much Anne! I'm very much looking forward to working with you more. **★★★★★ — lynn\_martinez79, Dec. 2015** > Melinda provided excellent service to my clients & me. She met with them at their property 900 Warm Sands SE. Advised them of what to keep & what to pack away. She then came back after other repairs, fresh paint, etc & the staged it for us. I had pictures taken on Monday of Thanksgiving week. I put it into MLS active on Tuesday am. We received an offer Friday evening which the sellers accepted & we are on our way to a successful closing in January. Thank you Melinda!!! **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Lynn, I am so very grateful to you for your business, your support and encouragement. It is truly because of your trust and referrals to me that my business continues to grow and to be successful - PLUS this was a fun one to stage, and I'm thankful I got to "run with the theme". **★★★★ — noki28, Sept. 2015** > Melinda did a wonderful job. I am very happy I went with her after interviewing 3 other stagers. She is very pleasant to work with. I was honestly concerned about what I was going to get, but I was VERY happy with the result. Our house was on the market for 8 months without being staged. Got an offer within 5 weeks after staging. I am a true believe in staging now. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thank you so much for the opportunity Deanna! It was my pleasure to work with you! Please don't keep me a secret - if you hear of anyone around the office who needs a stager, I hope you will send them my way. :-) **★★★★ — johnbedward, Sept. 2015** > Melinda did a great job working/brainstorming with the seller on staging the home. The work was professional. Furniture was tasteful vs just filling space as you can sometimes find in a staged home. It felt real. Houses are built but homes are purchased. She helped flavor the property so that it was homey and handsome. Job well done. Last two homes I sold in the area were under contract in less than 10 days, one before that in less than 20 days. All were owner occupied and nicely decorated. This home was a rental. Well with Melinda's services and a cooperative and open minded seller the home was staged... and put under contract in less than 3 days. Thanks Melinda for keeping my streak of transactions with a high sale price in less than 20 days alive....and making for a happy and profitable sale for my seller. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Thank you for the opportunity to be of service, John. **★★★★★ — sarahblack3, Sept. 2015** > Melinda's passion showed withing the first two minutes of meeting her. Her attention to detail and current, trend-savvy mindset helped my latest listing sell in just four days. She knows how to leverage existing material, combine with properly proportioned pieces, and make a home look brilliantly lived in. Her aesthetic, energy, and professionalism were refreshing and a dream to work with. **Comment from MAP Consultants, LLC:** > Wow thank you Ms. Sarah! It was a pleasure and a joy to have the opportunity to work with you. Remind me not to challenge you in Scrabble, your vocabulary is impressive and I am so very grateful to work with smart savvy Real Estate Professionals such as yourself!

Can you tell me the color of the walls, please? A: Hi thank you for your question. the home owner painted the walls prior to my staging the home when it was listed for sale. I wasn't involved in the paint color selection. sorry I can't be of more assistance in this regard. **Q: do you know how much will this piece cost** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Seemi, it is $243.99. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Bradford-Crimson-Bench/5961403/product.html?TID=Profile:IndvList:Private:ProdPg **Q: Couch** *(in Photo Questions)* Love the couch, where is it from? A: Furniture was provided by CORT Furniture Rental ABQ. The sofa is called "Darby". **Q: Carpet** *(in Photo Questions)* Can you tell me what type and color this carpet is? A: Hi Cyberta88, sorry, I don't have the answer to your question, I was the home stager on this project. **Q: What is the best hostess gift you could receive?** *(in Design Dilemma)* We've learned from a poll on Houzz that hostess gifts not routinely expected, but are appreciated when they are received. Have you received one you thought was particularly thoughtful? What was it? What would you most like to receive? Tell us! (Photos encouraged) A: Def. a "nice" bottle of wine will always be welcomed, I also like the thoughtful handmade gifts - like a jar of jam or apple butter, something that can go in the fridge for a bit. **Q: POLL: How often do you have "ready made" meals?** *(in Polls)* Prepared meals or "TV dinners" can make life a little easier when you are working full time or just when you need a little break from cooking. How often are you eating these kinds of meals? VOTE and tell us about it in the comments! A: I cook 90% of my meals at home, however, Trader Joe's has a great selection of frozen east indian fare that I will readily admit I will "heat and eat" about 1x a week if I am in a jam. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
