If you’ve ever wondered what actually makes a home feel high-end, timeless, and ready for buyers to fall in love the second they walk in — this conversation is your new playbook.

In this episode, Ingrid sits down with stager, designer, and entrepreneur Tess King, co-owner of King & Co Staging, to unpack the real behind-the-scenes of design, staging, partnerships, and motherhood. From surviving wild Denver markets to running a business with her husband, Tess brings insight, honesty, and humor that every homeowner, agent, or aspiring designer needs to hear.

We cover:
• The 2026 design trends that are in (and the ones that desperately need to die)
• Why rug size, paint color, and layout matter more than anything else
• What people always get wrong when they DIY their staging
• How design trends differ between markets (Denver vs. inland PNW)
• Running a staging company with your spouse — what actually works
• Homeschooling, mom life, and the non-negotiables that keep her sane
• The role of faith and identity in navigating entrepreneurship

You’ll walk away with actionable design tips, staging insights, and a deeper look at what it means to build a business while raising a family — without losing yourself in the process.

n today’s episode of Yoked, Travis and Ingrid break down the biggest real estate headlines dominating the news — and what they actually mean for buyers, sellers, and investors right now.

From the government finally reopening after its longest shutdown to the buzz around rate portability, 50-year mortgages, and lower credit score minimums, we cut through the noise and give you the real-world impact behind the clickbait. If you’ve heard rumors about portable mortgages, loan term extensions, or looser lending standards, this episode explains what’s legit, what’s unlikely, and what could transform inventory and affordability in 2026 and beyond.

We also share the investor perspective: how these policies could thaw the frozen housing market, why major lenders may push back, and how creative finance strategies have already been offering solutions long before the headlines hit.

Plus — we talk fall in Coeur d’Alene, 1031 updates on our Sterne property, gratitude season, Osprey-and-fish God moments, and why it’s always a good time to buy real estate… as long as it’s your right deal.

This episode dives deep into:

• How to use a HELOC to build long-term wealth

• Lessons from property management and house hacking

• Knowing when to sell and recycle equity

• Creative financing, refinancing, and leveraging sweat equity

This week, Travis and Ingrid pull back the curtain on what it really means to be yoked—and why it’s the secret ingredient behind thriving marriages, businesses, and families.

Fresh off a weekend at Owners Club surrounded by hundreds of entrepreneurs, Travis shares the struggles and breakthroughs many are facing right now in real estate and business. Together, he and Ingrid unpack how being “yoked” goes far beyond faith—it’s about alignment in six key areas: personal growth, finances, career, health, relationships, and spirituality.

They share real-life stories from their 17 years of marriage and partnership, the lessons learned from their counselor (“you’re crossing every part of life together—get yoked!”), and why this idea has evolved into a new project designed to help couples build unity and purpose.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur, a spouse of one, or simply trying to strengthen your foundation, this conversation will help you visualize how to move in step toward a shared vision—side by side, like oxen pulling the same plow.

👉 Stick around for their most honest moment yet: what they’re each “yoked to” right now in this season of life.
