PROPOSAL TEAM

The first step in working with Design Milagros is to set up an in-home meeting with our proposal specialists to identify how best to bring the home to market.

If you are looking to make home improvements please let us know and they will arrange to bring one or many of our capable contractors to give you the best estimate for proposed renovations. For those choosing to make improvements prior to going on the market, you will be assigned a Project Manager to oversee the renovations.

If the home does not need improvements but needs designer staging to achieve the best return on investment, Janelle or Noemi will take notes and photos of your home’s rooms and details to create a staging proposal and share it with our Design Team.

PROJECT MANAGEMENT TEAM

For those that have chosen to take advantage of of maximizing your home value with home renovations, you will be assigned a Project Manager to follow up on all the details of your home plan.

The Project Management team schedules contractors, they review all work taking place in the home to ensure high quality, that is on time and on budget. They problem solve when necessary and take care of your home as if it were their own.

When all of the cosmetic work is complete the Project Manager passes the job over to the Design Team for staging.
