Tami's headshot2Tami Lantz – Home Staging Expert, Professional Staging Expert

I live in Prosper, TX, with my beautiful family, Bill, Logan and Cole. I have a BS Degree in Education and have been involved in the Education field for 15 years in various capacities.

I began my Interior Decorating career 13 years ago after developing a passion for decorating friend’s and family’s homes. Decorating was second nature for me. In an effort to gain more knowledge and be more qualified in this field, I attended numerous training courses, workshops and seminars in the Dallas area and in Nashville. Word of mouth spread and so did my career path. Love for interior decorating became my desire.

I have helped families in the Metroplex and in Oklahoma for the past eight years with their decorating needs. In 2007, I began my own staging company but soon made contact with Jana at Model My Home and knew the decision to join the team was an easy one. I absolutely believe that Model My Home is the best staging company in the area! We provide full staging services without hassles or worries that often go with selling your home. I am H.S.E. certified and love working with clients to improve and enhance their homes.

Tina Looney – Home Staging Expert, Professional Staging Expert

I am a native Texan born and raised in Dallas. Although I majored in Psychology at Centenary College, I have always had a creative side with strong interest in the arts, decorating and layout, and real estate. While residing in Louisiana I was heavily involved in volunteer work, specializing in event planning and chairing fundraisers for numerous nonprofit and civic organizations.

Returning to the DFW area several years ago with my husband, Tim, a mortgage banker, was a chance to live closer to and spend more time with my family in Dallas. We are members of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Catholic Church in Keller, and have enjoyed living in the area and developing new friendships and business relationships.

Becoming a Home Staging Expert with Model My Home has allowed me the opportunity to meet and work with some of the most dedicated and successful realtors in DFW. Helping realtors and sellers prepare properties for the real estate market is challenging, exciting, and rewarding. I absolutely love every aspect of Staging! Although my work takes me all over the DFW area, my focus areas are Grapevine, Colleyville, Southlake, Keller, and NRH.

Chase Turnbow ~ Media Director

Hi, I’m Chase. When I was 10 years old, one day my parents let me use their video camera if I promised to be careful with it. For hours, that camcorder entertained my brother and I. We created an action movie in the living room and it was some of the most fun I had ever had. It was the first time I was able to use my creativity to visually produce something that could be shared over and over. Since then, I knew I wanted to pursue film and video for the rest of my life. I like being able to create something unique that can be relived.
Working with Model My Home has given me a chance to help others get their message across in a more creative way. Everyone loves video. In fact, it’s the most preferred way to attain information online. What’s not to love? It’s faster, more effective, more powerful, and more entertaining than any other marketing or learning platform. When people can see and hear you, they can make a deeper connection to you.

I have skills in every step of video production; from planning and scripting to editing and uploading. When I’m not creating videos for Model My Home, I’m either creating videos for fun or for an independent client. Whether you are interested in making a music video for your band or creating a marketing video for your business, I am the guy that can get it done with professional results. Feel free to call or send me an email if you have any questions about what video can do for.
