About Us
Putting the best foot forward is the key approach to everything we do. We started in real estate over 10 years ago, buying distressed homes and turning them into rentals. As the market recovered after the financial crisis we changed our strategy, and instead of renting our homes we started to redo them entirely and list them for sale. When we did, we put extra attention to detail at work: does the floorplan make sense? Do the rooms feel livable? What materials can we use to make our homes stand out on the market? All these considerations go into every single project. Melanie had always been a big fan of interiors (in fact, wanted to become an architect when she was still a girl!) and applied all her creativity and precision to creating exceptional spaces. But because buyers often can't envision themselves in an empty room, she started to stage her listings ... and they became a huge success! More than 100 people showed up on the first Open House of the first staged home. It triggered a bidding war, and went under contract just days later. Buyer agents saw what her team could do, and started calling her to stage their listings. This is how CURATED. was born.
We've helped owners and listing agents get homes and condos under contract in just days! By creating an ambiance that feels real we help bridge the gap that makes anyone feel home, clarifies layouts and spaces and allows you to focus on the way a home will be lived, not its bare bones.
Our name is a symbol of how we do things. We carefully select unique furnishings and decor, which are always highest quality and to the level of the home we're staging. No two designs are ever the same; every project is bespoke and customized to not only the property's style but market trends and buyer expectations alike. Our mission is to get your property sold faster and for more money. Every step we take is a vital piece to making it happen.
CURATED. is a Miami based firm and works with clients in West Palm Beach, Broward Miami and the Florida Keys. Contact us today for a consultation.

Gosh, where do I start with The Curated Group? First, I was very happy to find them when I did. I am a real estate investor with a background in Interior Design. I had been searching for a home stager that could finish off the look of our beautifully built homes but most stagers fell short with their aesthetic and found myself having to stage my own homes. It wasn't until I found The Curated Group that I felt comfortable with someone else taking over the Furniture component of a real estate investment.
Not only is their design aesthetic WAY more than just a stager but they invest in good quality furniture for their clients' homes. I felt like the "design" was equally important to them as it was to us. It was not just another staging project. Melanie and her team carefully curated the pieces that would best compliment the home. I was equally impressed with her responsiveness and communication with our team. We definitely had a one-on-one relationship with the lead designer and we felt like she was an extension of our own team.
I will continue to use Melanie and her team for future projects and will happily refer her to anyone looking for a professionally styled and staged home.

I hired The Curated Group to stage my 1/2 condo. I interviewed several companies but after meeting with Melanie I saw that she understood what I was looking for, and after reviewing the proposal, I agreed to step back and put my trust in her designing ability. Not the easiest thing for me to do, but I must tell you, the design was amazing and far exceeded my expectations. Melanie and Stefano elevated my ideas into a well thought out contemporary design with quality furnishings and accessories. They did research on the area, looked at other comps and put in lots of time and effort in fully staging the condo. I knew I was in good hands and chose the right company.
My beautifully upgraded condo staged by Melanie's group instantly became a standout in an area that had lots of units available with very few selling. Melanie and her team were very professional, knowledgeable and pricing was reasonable. I was able to sell the condo in just over 2 months well above the price of any similar unit sold in the area over the last 2 years and well worth the price. I would highly recommend this company for staging and interior design. Great experience!

I hired Curated Home staging to stage a client’s condo in Miami before listing it. Stefano and his team were professional all throughout the process, and the finished product is an elegant, beautiful space.
I have worked with several other stagers before and the difference is in that Curated owns their inventory and do not hesitate buying pieces that suit the specific needs of the space, instead of renting bland furniture. In my case, they used a brand new custom-built couch and a Saccaro glass and wood table!
The property listed and went under contract in less than a week which is way below average for a luxury condo in this market.
Thank you Curated and thank you Stefano, I will be calling you very soon for my next listing.

I am a real estate investor and this was my first time hiring a home stager. I found CURATED home staging on-line and loved their portfolio, so I called them. Melanie and Stefano explained the process clearly and made it, from beginning to end, very easy for me. I accepted their recommendations about the space and the design envisioned. Within two weeks the property was ready to go on the market and within two weeks from that moment it went under contract at asking price! Thank you Melanie and Stefano for helping me sell this property quickly, I am looking forward to working with you again.
