Deb and Per with Raquel Flournoy

With Raquel Flournoy of Credit Optimization Program

Raquel Flournoy

Grew up a military brat from Fort Lewis, graduated from Spanaway Lake High School then attended Seattle U studying accounting.  I married my high school sweetheart and we have to adult children; Sherise and Jordan (26 & 21) plus my furry baby Hannibal.

Majority of my career has been in the accounting / tax field.  I specialized in construction cost accounting when I opened and managed Accounting Pros NW.  I have experience with A paper mortgage lending and Private Lending leverage with land/property.  Budgeting, audit and finance comes natural to me.  I enjoying analyzing numbers.  Real Estate is also a passion of mine.

I started the Credit Optimization Program when I saw a need for consumer credit consulting after the housing market crashed.  Many people and families were affected by this.  There is no government agency that will “audit” a consumer’s credit report and hold the credit bureaus accountable.  The only person that can hold the credit reporting agency accountable is the consumer.

There are great laws in place to protect the consumer but without the audit there is no way to know if the bureaus are following the laws.  COP is making sure the credit bureaus are compliant.

Lockin’ it In welcomes to the show Leah Nitz, of Constructive Consulting, LLC Home Staging & Redesign. We’ll chat about the fun and creative topic of Home Staging.

About Leah

Peachy pink me

Leah Nitz, Home Stager

I was a Project Manager for 20 years. I learned project management in construction administration building out bank branches. I started as a Project Coordinator and worked my way up, and took training along the way. I loved buying the products for each project and weighing in on design decisions. After the market crash in 2008 everything changed and I became a 1099 contractor taking project management contracts in all different industries and companies from Microsoft to a startup with 5 employees. I have always missed the buying product and space design elements from my past.

In 2012, I started a side business making Cardigan Clip jewelry and now ‘Something Old, Something New’ bridal jewelry to allow me to use my creative side again. I worked full time on the jewelry business for a year.

I have thought about becoming a home stager many times over the years, but something always held me back. This year I decided to go for it! Shortly after opening Constructive Consulting, LLC Home Staging & Redesign, I opted to become certified. The training gave me the answers I need to handle all the tricky older homes in the Kitsap Peninsula area. The ability to help homeowners increase the value of their home by making it more appealing to a wider mass of buyers is so gratifying.

My mission is to make your home a place where buyers aspire to live. I neutralize homes with furniture and accessories but also through paint, flooring and updated fixtures. I partner with home owners to match the needs of the market with the availability of their resources.
