Sorted Affairs Home Staging

Robin has helped me several times in preparing to show different homes for sale, and each time I was thrilled with the end result. Whether it was furniture placement, recommendations on art and accessories, or selecting the best accent colors, Robin easily brought it all together for the greatest and most pleasing impact. I believe she made the difference in getting the house sold, and at the best price.

A friend recommended Robin at Sorted Affairs for our main floor refresh for our house built in 2003. I looked at her website first, which I thoroughly enjoyed and contacted her via the website. Robin contacted my promptly and set a date to meet at our house. We needed to finalize paint colors for the kitchen, dining room and most importantly the kitchen cabinets. Although we had discussed colors and consulted the painters, we needed Robin to really give the entire refresh a unified direction and color palette. Robin chose paint, carpet and furniture colors with conviction - she took into account our thoughts and budget - and gave us a plan. She also emailed me ideas on how to refresh the fireplace and furniture options. Robin has a great sense of humor and is efficient! I recommend her to anyone!

Sorted Affairs has helped me twice, once with staging a property I was selling and another time with the home I have lived in for 3 years. Her ability to take an empty space and create a warm, inviting home which helped us sell within days of her work was amazing. She knew just how to place furniture and decor in an open floor plan to create vignettes that drew you in. Her staging helped focus attention on areas while creating a cohesion which flowed through the house. Pictures are from this project. In my own home she worked with what I had, made suggestions on what to buy or what I should consider removing. Some brilliant ideas that cost no money, but options I had never even considered! She helped me prioritize the process when I told her I felt overwhelmed. I envy her ability to so naturally and intuitively know what will and won't look good in a space without having it there. I found her rates reasonable and she did not seem to push any agenda or style. In staging, she kept things universal with broad appeal, and in my home she catered to my tastes. Communicating, timeliness, working with my schedule on both projects were just not an issue. contracts, terms and deadlines were all clear and easy to follow. I can't say enough good things about working with Sorted Affairs! It made what was so complicated and hard for me, done in a heartbeat.

Robin LeVine has been our ‘go to’ person for years. She is a very good listener, can arrange a room to look it’s best, has an excellent knowledge of color and fabric. My husband and I trust her taste. When we needed help selecting color of paint for our living and dining room and carpeting, we called Robin. When we got ready to sell our home, we called Robin to stage it. When we moved into our new home, we called Robin to arrange family pictures and artwork through out our home. She also gave us advice about the size and placing of furniture. When we narrowed our decision to two different sofas, I called Robin. She went to the shops with me, my husband dislikes shopping, to discuss, style, fabric choices, and cost. A decision was made! Next project is selecting paint for the master wing, guess who we’ll be calling. Robin is one of the nicest people I know. I have recommended her to many of my friends.

Robin is our 'go to' stager! We have used Sorted Affairs Home Staging for several years on all of our homes that entering the market. Robin has great ideas and can work within everyone's budget. Robin is very professional and all of our clients love working with her. Furthermore, if you need to hire contractors to complete the job, Robin has a great selection of pro's to choose from.

Robin was a HUGE help when we were staging my mother-in-law's outdated home in Richfield. Her objective expertise helped cut through the emotional baggage that often accompanies selling an old family home, and her advice (to paint everything in an updated neutral, replace some outdated light fixtures and the stove, and redo the hardwood floors, etc) helped bring in far more than we would have netted for the house had we sold it in its tired condition--well worth the added investment!

I worked with Robin from Sorted Affairs when moving into my new home. I had no idea what colors to paint or where to put things. Robin has a wonderful eye for color, she really listened to what I like and helped me get the perfect set-up! Everything turned out wonderfully, I am so happy with the results.

Sorted Affairs was able to work with me by combining rented items with items we already owned. Others I spoke to had the attitude that it would make things too complicated or that it would inhibit their style. Robin first went through the home offering suggestions on what to change (fixtures, paint, decluttering). There was a charge for this service whether you used her or not. I was sort of aware of this based on her on line info but probably could have given this a bit more emphasis prior to coming. Then she provided a plan for what she would provide for the staging. I was able to push back on some things and she accepted the pushback with no grumblings. The end job had a real fresh updated feel. The cost was for her service and a separate cost for furniture rental. I opted to get a small discount for commiting to several months on the rental. Turned out I didn’t need it as we had a buyer for the house in the first week! We went ahead and kept the staging through the contract period since our closing was late so that if any problems arose we would still have the place ready to show. As we were not staying in the house during the selling period we did not have to worry with working around the rented bedding etc. But I’m sure we could have come up with a plan that would have worked had it been needed. We had a billing hitch at the start that we had to work through (just came too early) but no other issues. Everyone asks if it was worth it. Our house sold in the $800k range. At that price level we were strongly advised to stage and since we knew we had some raggy furniture it made sense for us. As I am now shopping for a home in another market, I can see the differences in reaction to a decluttered, well presented home. They sell quickly while others languish. And we find ourselves shaking our heads at the things that could have so easily been fixed or painted to improve the home’s marketability.

I hired Robin to help me put the finishing touches on my home decor. She helped me with furniture layout, paint colors, and selecting soft goods and art that would make the whole look cohesive. She even suggested specific pieces that looked great and fit within my budget. My home looks great, and I'm so happy that I had Robin's help!

I am a Realtor and have Robin meet with many of my home sellers for help with staging their home before putting it on the market. She is very friendly, reliable, accommodating, and professional. Not to mention ecxellent at her job! She always offers great advice for making the homes look their best! I, as well as my sellers, are always impressed with her work. I would highly recommend Robin at Sorted Affairs Home Staging!

We received excellent advice in preparing our home for sale. She recommended a great paint color for all the rooms. Robin suggested changing from mini blinds to honeycomb shades which look fantastic. We took her advice and changes out the light fixtures to be more update and consistent throughout the 1st floor. She commended a great carpet color when refinishing the hardwood floors became impossible. I would recommend her services to anyone planning on selling their house.

I hired Robin to help get my home ready to sell. She walked through the house with me and provided advice along the way. She was invaluable in helping to choose paint colors, deciding which pieces of furniture to keep and which ones to remove, furniture placement, and general staging advice. We did an on-the-spot re-arranging of my daughter's bedroom furniture which made the room look twice the size. She worked with our existing furnishings whenever possible, and only suggested minor purchases where necessary. I was also able to purchase carpet through Robin, and she helped coordinate the installation. The carpet looks great and luxurious (and at a significantly lower price than I would have paid through one of the big box stores). The house looks fabulous! I couldn't be more thrilled with Robin's professionalism and the amazing results.
