A pre-listing walk-through
A complimentary walk-through of your Muirfield home with Stephanie Gulau and Amanda Williams of Mission Design Co, a stager whose work has been featured in Architectural Digest and on A&E. We tell you what to change, what to leave alone, and what your home is likely worth once it is done.

Why Muirfield is its own market
Muirfield Village began selling homes in 1974. Fifty years later there are roughly 2,400 of them, and nearly every one has been updated at least once by somebody with a point of view. Some of those decisions aged beautifully. Some of them are quietly costing the owner money.
That is what makes selling here different from selling in a subdivision built in 2019. Buyers touring Muirfield are comparing a 1980 home that was renovated in 2004 against a 1994 home renovated last year, and they are doing it in a weekend, across six houses, on their phones.
Most sellers guess at what to fix. New carpet nobody asked for. A repaint in a color that dates the house. Meanwhile the one change that would have moved the number never gets made.
Free, and nobody else has it
Forty-nine things Muirfield has an opinion about, what the rules actually say, and what the application costs. Fences, roofs, paint colors, sheds, basketball hoops, solar. Straight out of the Association handbook.
For the families
Dublin assigns schools by street address, not by neighborhood, and the boundaries change for the 2027-28 year. Plus the daycares close enough to matter, starting with the two inside Muirfield.
One spin, one real offer at a restaurant or shop a few minutes from your driveway. Everybody wins something. The only question is which one, and whether Buckley turns up first and makes you go again.
New in the neighborhood
S/WING sits in the open space between Whittingham Drive and Muirfield Drive, near the golf club. The City of Dublin and the Dublin Arts Council dedicate it Thursday, September 3 at 4:00 PM, and the public is invited.
It is by Ivan Depeña, and it is the newest piece in Dublin’s Art in Public Places collection. The land was donated by the Muirfield Association, with support from the Ohio Legislature.
The shape is a bird’s wing and a golf swing at the same time. Depeña built it around Jack Nicklaus’s technique and the countless swings that have shaped the course since 1974, the same year the first homes here sold.
If selling is ever on your mind
Everything on this page is here because somebody in Muirfield wanted it and could not find it anywhere. This is no different. If selling is somewhere on your horizon, an hour with us is the most useful thing we can hand you, and you keep all of it whatever you decide to do.
Stephanie and Amanda come to you. Room by room, in the house as it sits today. Nothing to prepare, nothing to clean up first.
What is worth doing, what is a waste of money, and roughly what each item runs. Including the things most sellers spend on that buyers never notice.
What the home is likely to sell for as it sits, and what it could sell for after. Then you decide whether the difference is worth the work.
If you decide to sell with someone else, or not to sell at all, the list is still yours. That is the whole arrangement.

Muirfield’s own game show
Stop the board and see what Muirfield owes you. None of it is redeemable and all of it is true. Land on Buckley and he takes the whole pile, because that is exactly what he would do. Four Buckleys and you are out.
Hostas are not a currency and Buckley has eaten most of them. If you want something you can actually use on a Friday night, the wheel hands out real discounts at places a few minutes from here, and everybody wins on that one. Go spin it.
No prizes, no claims, no entry, nothing to win. Just a board full of things
this neighborhood has an opinion about. Hostas have no cash value and cannot
be redeemed, at Gene’s or anywhere else. Buckley is not affiliated with
the Muirfield Association, the deer population, or anyone’s hostas, and
has already eaten most of them.
Buckley has turned up 0 times while you have been here.
He does that.
Tell me a little about the house and I will reach out to find a time. I follow up personally.
