Introducing CURATED. Conversations: Elevating Real Estate Through Meaningful Design Dialogues
At CURATED., we believe in the transformative power of design—not just for spaces but for the people who inhabit them and the professionals who bring those spaces to life. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce the launch of CURATED. Conversations, a monthly workshop series designed to bring deeper, more meaningful conversations to the real estate community. These sessions will be hosted at our Miami Beach office, with plans to expand virtual participation in the future.
Why CURATED. Conversations?
Since entering the industry in 2015, I’ve worn many hats: remodeling properties, flipping homes, running a staging company with furniture rentals, and designing interiors for properties valued at up to $20 million. Along the way, I’ve worked as a licensed real estate agent in both Florida and California, managed luxury vacation rentals in destinations like the South of France and Tuscany, and collaborated with professionals across real estate, design, and construction.
These experiences have given me a deep understanding of the challenges realtors face when guiding their clients through property purchases and improvements. CURATED. Conversations was born from a desire to provide actionable insights and tools to realtors, empowering them to deliver unparalleled value to their clients.
What to Expect
Each session in the CURATED. Conversations series is carefully designed to address real-world challenges faced by realtors and the broader real estate community. Our mission is to foster collaboration, share expertise, and inspire innovation in the way we approach property design and transformation.
Topics include:
Guiding Buyers Through Fixer-Uppers: Learn how to navigate cost discussions, introduce key professionals, and confidently guide clients through the remodeling journey.
Maximizing ROI on Rental Property Upgrades: Discover the most effective design strategies to enhance value and attract tenants.
Navigating New Construction Projects: Co-hosted with industry experts, this session will break down the complexities of working with architects, designers, and contractors.
Understanding Pre-Construction Condos: Equip yourself with insights into the costs and processes of finishing pre-construction spaces, including window treatments, cabinetry, and furnishings.
Over time, we’ll also introduce virtual participation options, ensuring accessibility for professionals beyond South Florida.
Expanding Beyond Realtors
While our primary focus is on empowering realtors, our expertise extends to a broader audience:
Buyers & Sellers: We collaborate with sales galleries to offer informational sessions tailored to potential property buyers, demystifying topics like remodeling costs and staging strategies.
Vendors & Industry Professionals: At conferences and trade events, we share valuable insights on market trends, client expectations, and the evolving needs of interior designers.
Collaborative Events: We’re open to co-hosting events with like-minded companies to maximize impact and foster meaningful industry connections.
At CURATED., we don’t just design spaces; we design with purpose. We see every conversation as an opportunity to elevate the way real estate professionals serve their clients. By sharing our expertise, we aim to build stronger relationships, encourage collaboration, and ultimately, help everyone do better.
We invite you to join us at our Miami Beach office for our next CURATED. Conversations session. Space is limited, so RSVP today and be part of a community committed to excellence in real estate and design.
