Imagine Gurus

When my realtor recommended having a staging consult, I wasn’t exactly sure what that would look like. With a reasonable price, I gave it go! Mikaela was prompt in her arrival and explained the process up front(which made it super easy), and we were off and running. I appreciated her careful listening to my perspective and her thorough and thoughtful process and plan to showcase our home at its maximum potential. Using my own home items and with some reasonable additional recommendations, in a very short time, Mikaela was able to give me a Profit Plan that was very doable! Her plan was so easy to follow and she welcomed sending pics should I need her eyes again. I started implementing the steps she put in place excitedly that very evening! I would highly recommend Mikaela/Imagine Gurus! Thanks, IG and thank you Mikaela for making it look easy! Grateful for your gifts and...

Mikaela Rios did an amazing job of advising us on staging our Dad's house when we were ready to sell it. Having a checklist in each room saved us so much time and we breezed through what would have taken us weeks! I highly recommend her services and will use her again.

Mikaela did an amazing job staging our lake house! She worked incredibly hard and it really shows. I was a little hesitant at first but after seeing the final product I will never second guess her again! I would hire her time and time again!

Mikaela was so helpful in staging my son’s house for selling. She came in and walked room by room. Then she provided us a written report with suggestions per room. While we were setting up each room, if we had any questions she promptly replied to our questions via text or phone. Mikaela made the process easy. She is very professional and efficient. We would highly recommend her for all your staging needs.

Staging a home for sale allows the property to show better by causing professional photos to look more attractive on different web site portals. But...helping a buyer do furniture layout in their new home is priceless! Mikaela's ideas are not only pretty but functional. Her quick response to questions is especially helpful when working with a contractor to get home improvement projects started and ready for completion in an organized time frame.

I love Imagine Gurus for staging my listings as I believe they are always up to date with all the current trends. I know my listings have sold faster. Not only do the homes look amazing in person, but photographs online look fantastic as well. All of the staff at Imagine Gurus are very easy to work with.
I would also recommend them for your personal home, hanging art work, moving furniture etc. I highly recommend this company.

I loved Mikaela with Imagine Gurus because she was most interested in what my needs and wishes were. She is an excellent listener and her advice made complete sense. She didn’t try to change our style, she simply enhanced it. I hope to work with her again and again in the future.

I have often heard of Mikaela but just now had the opportunity to ask for her services and WOW was I completely pleased. She showed up promptly and got right to work carrying her computer from room to room, analyzing and typing notes. Then she sat down and addressed every notation directly with my seller, keeping eye contact, making sure my client understood the necessary changes to be made to the huge house both inside and out. Mikaela then emailed a copy to the client and to me - so we didn't even have to make our own notes! She offered to return and help further or answer phone calls (and encouraged us to provide pictures with our questions via email). The very next day my client went shopping for the new items recommended by Mikaela. I wish I could explain what an improvement Mikaela has made to my listing already. What an impact Mikaela has made on this property For Sale...

Mikaela was AMAZING! She had a vision for our home to help us sell and it worked unbelievably quick. She exhibited such professionalism while still being approachable and open. The entire experience made our whole family much more at ease with the process of getting our house market ready. She has an eye that screams style and warmth. I would recommend anyone looking to redo their home or staging a property to work with Imagine Gurus.

I thought I had gotten our house ready to list and then we met with Mikaela. That evening, I received a 7 page “profit list” in my inbox. Phew! So thankful to have her eye. Using the suggestions, tips, and tricks from that list, we were able to refine each room to really look and feel like a model home. Several of those ideas I would have never thought of, and others saved us quite a lot of money. So many of my friends told me that hiring a stager was a waste. I couldn’t disagree more! Our house hits the market in 4 days and I feel confident that these easy changes have given us a great start to getting a buyer quickly!

Mikaela with Imagine Gurus took my listing to the next level. She left my clients with a to-do list that ultimately left their home looking like it hopped out of a magazine. Her report was extremely detailed, easy to follow and she even gave a phenomenal photographer recommendation! I will continue to use Imagine Gurus for my future staging needs. Thanks Mikaela!!

Mikaela was great! She gave us great advise on staging our home and even helped move furniture! We sold our house in 9 days! We feel that with Mikaela advise and knowledge of what home buyers are looking for, really helped us sell quickly! I can’t say enough good things about her! She’s just amazing!

Imagine Gurus made a huge difference. Last August, Mikaela visited our home and provided us with a to-do list to get it ready for sale. When we put our home on the market in March, the on-line photos were amazing. We had 6 showings in the first 2 days. The agents commented on how beautifully it was staged. Buyers loved the house. Consequently, it was on the market for only 4 days when we accepted an offer.

So pleased with the input and guidance we received from Imagine Gurus. The advice was spot-on and the written report gave us an easy reference to use. Everyone who has seen our house after the "transformation" loves the changes we made based on the advice we received from Imagine Gurus. I totally recommend their services.

I’m incredibly impressed in how Imagine Gurus worked for my clients and I. They were incredibly efficient and worked with what we had; without “recreating the wheel.” They saw the great bones of the home and capitalized upon it in their styling choices. Their work will truly be the icing on the cake and key in selling this home quickly for my clients. Thanks again and I genuinely look forward to working with you in the future!

Imagine Gurus made my listing a success. Any agent can put a house on the market take pictures and put a for sale sign in the yard. The true difference is when you set up your house to invite the next owner to see it as their home and not just a house then you’ve sold it! That is what Mikaela accomplished through her expertise in interior design and her eye for beauty. She has an incredible talent for blending color schemes and Making a space inviting. I had my listing online for two months with five showings and after Mikaela staged the home we had 10 showings in 20 days and the home was under contract. I can’t speak highly enough about Mikaela’s professionalism and talent. I will pay for my clients to have a consultation with Mikaela for each of my future listings regardless because what she does sells houses!!!

Mikaela Rios is the best! She is so helpful and what an amazing eye for decor! Couldn't have done this without her!

Mikaela is a dream to work with. She really understands this industry and uses her knowledge to your benefit! We loved how she was able to take pieces we already had and showcase them in our home. I would highly recommend Imagine Gurus to anyone looking for buyer/seller staging and we can't wait to work with them on our future home needs!

Our experience with Mikaela at Imagine Gurus was terrific. She came in with so many ideas for our home that were beautiful and most of all realistically affordable. Our house looked amazing after and our photographer was able to capture that beauty in the photos he took. We never thought staging played that big a role but after selling our home in 1 showing we have definitely changed our minds on that!!! If you are looking to sell your home STAGING helps and Mikaela with Imagine Gurus can help you get it sold!!! Thanks so much Mikaela!!

I recently moved into a new home and I needed assistance with furniture and art work placement. Mikaela came to my original home to view my existing furniture then helped me decide on placement for my new home before the movers came. She came later in the month to my new home to help me with artwork placement and display my personal photos and other items. My new home looks amazing and she took away my feeling of being overwhelmed with the stress of moving. I would recommend her to anyone that needs assistance in staging before your home sells and decorating once you move into your new home.

Had a great experience with the sale of our home. Our stager and realtor advised and helped us create a very appealing home for our potential buyer. It looked beautiful! We sold our home in 3 1/2 hours. Mission accomplished. Very satisfied.

Extremely friendly, knowledgable, helpful and went above and beyond to provide service that exceeded my expectations! I highly recommend Imagine Gurus!

What a genuine find! Mikaela is creative, and brings beauty to every surrounding she touches. She respects any constraints yet flourishes within them (ours was not to buy anything new but to re-purpose all we had). We have what feels like a new home environment themed for our location on the water and yielding beauty and comfort throughout. Thank you, thank you Mikaela!!

Mikaela is an amazing stager. My clients house changed completely.

Mikaela Rios is a fantastic home stager & home organizer. She's helped several of my clients with different areas of their home. Some were to put on the market to sell and others were to stay put. She's extremely professional and does excellent work.

Mikaela helped us get our home ready for sale. Mikaela is a delight to work with. She is totally amazing. She transformed our house. She made it look spacious and more beautiful. She gave us a detailed list of improvements. She helped with rearranging our furniture and arranging decorations artistically all over the house. I would recommend Mikaela to anyine interested in improving their home for their own enjoyment, or preparing a house for a quick sale.

Mikaela was great to work with and very accessible. I had two clients back to back needing to list in a hurry and in need of help with staging. Her two hour consultation brought a wealth of assistance and relief to my clients - and to me! Her expertise and suggestions were spot on and I almost didn't recognize one of my clients homes after seeing the difference they made in tackling her "profit list." Thank you Mikaela! #worthit
