It can be incredibly difficult to work with someone long distance, but Margo was very flexible, accommodating, and showed great empathy to the frustration I was experiencing in selling my home. She always provided warm and punctual responses to all my questions. She did a great job understanding the target market of the condo and adapted staging and design sets that would "speak" to the potential buyers. We had so many people come through our condo with the help of Margo! I HIGHLY recommend Margo for all your staging & design needs! Thank you, again Margo! Thanks to YOU, I'm able to live stress-free due to the quick selling of my condo after your staging! **★★★★★ — Caroline Dobbins, March 2019** > Margo did a wonderful job staging my condo for sale! She is extremely professional, talented and easy to work with. She created a clean, modern look that helped my condo sell quickly. I highly recommend Margo for your staging needs! **★★★★★ — Bob Lynn, Jan. 2019** > Project was done professionally and with great taste by Margo and team at Presence Staging + Design! Condo in Lakeview neighborhood sold in 17 days from listing for above asking price with multiple offers. Margo's use of modern, mid-century design contrasted perfectly with the classic style of the condo. This was my first time using a staging company. The entire project was well managed by Margo who made life easy for this out-of-state seller! Count me as a huge fan of Presence Staging + Design! **★★★★★ — Nancy Freitag, Oct. 2017** > Margo did a fantastic job in helping us get our condo ready for sale. Her recommendations were easy to follow and made a huge difference. She connected us with an excellent painter and provided us with specific suggestions and suppliers via web links. Her advice was spot on and we've used her suggestions for decorating our new home. She was very affordable and well worth the investment! **★★★★★ — Keith Claunch, Oct. 2017** > Margo is a gifted professional. I was especially impressed by her ability to focus her expertise on the specific needs of my client. As a real estate broker we encounter a wide range of needs depending on the client. Margo is able to address every unique situation with the right solution. When my clients are happy everyone wins. I would highly recommend Margo no matter how big or small the project may be. **★★★★★ — Margaret Wilson, Dec. 2016** > Margo recently helped me renovate my kitchen. I have used design experts for other projects and they can sometimes be overbearing. Margo is not only personable and fun to work with, but she always keeps you opinion and tastes in mind while making helpful suggestions. Margo's knowledge of design options, products, as well as light and color is impressive. She worked hard to make sure that we arrived at the perfect color for my kitchen cabinets and walls. I love my new kitchen and highly recommend Margo and her work. **★★★★★ — Sarah Ziehr, Dec. 2016** > Margo has excellent taste and is extremely detailed and thoughtful. I have worked with her on several projects and am very happy with the results. I highly recommend! ## Selected projects - [N Sheridan Condominium Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/n-sheridan-condominium-staging-pj-vj~6134622) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [2400 N Lakeview Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2400-n-lakeview-staging-pj-vj~5684451) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 4 - [River North Condominium Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/river-north-condominium-staging-pj-vj~5731802) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 3 - [Ranch Triangle Condominium Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ranch-triangle-condominium-staging-pj-vj~2757049) - Location: Chicago, IL - Photos: 6 - [Lakeview Condominium](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lakeview-condominium-pj-vj~6134608) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 1 [See all 5 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/presence-staging-design-pfvwus-pf~59200734) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/151849353/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [Curb Appeal](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/30609138/list/curb-appeal) — 4 ideas - [Eco Friendly Materials](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27751318/list/eco-friendly-materials) — 4 ideas - [Kitchen Planning](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27722508/list/kitchen-planning) — 2 ideas - [miscellaneous](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/28058314/list/miscellaneous) — 69 ideas [See all 5 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/margopatterson) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
