Christie Kelly

I am a property stylist serving the Twin Cities metro area and western Wisconsin.

I love houses! I have a passion for bringing out a home’s character and style, making it more interesting and memorable.

I work with realtors and people selling their houses to make their property showcase ready for today’s competitive market.

I work with homeowners to make their current home truly their own.

I also very much love designing vacation rental properties! As a vacation rental owner/host myself, I understand the importance of unique property design and a beautiful, well-worded listing to maximize rental and profit potential.

I am a graduate of the Staging Diva Home Staging Business Training, created by internationally recognized staging expert, Deborah Gould and I have completed coursework specifically on vacation rental styling. I also have a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication/Public Relations from the University of Minnesota-Duluth.

Most importantly, I take part in constant ongoing education to keep up with current design and real estate market trends.
