ABOUT QUI
The Woman Behind the Brand
Qui Daugherty built her practice for the woman who wants the ease of a trusted confidante and the discernment of a seasoned dealmaker — across her wardrobe, her home, and the version of life she's stepping into next. Based in Nashville, she pairs luxury personal styling with white-glove real estate guidance for clients who refuse to settle on the details.
Meet Qui Daugherty
Nashville, Tennessee
Where impeccable style meets intentional living.
Before founding The Upper Echelon, Qui spent years inside the world's most respected luxury houses — Saks Fifth Avenue, Louis Vuitton, and Nordstrom — working alongside the stylists, buyers, and clients who define how the highest-performing women dress. That decade sharpened her eye for silhouette, fabric, and the small details that separate a polished look from a forgettable one.
When she stepped into real estate, that same precision followed. Qui became known for calm presence under pressure, sharp negotiation, and the way she cared for every step of the process — from first conversation to keys in hand. Her clients trust her not just for the outcomes, but for how seen and steady they feel along the way.
Today, Qui weaves those two worlds together — curating closets and homes that reflect who you actually are, not who you used to be. Her work is about far more than outfits and addresses. It's about the quiet confidence of walking into a room, a closing table, or a new season of life and knowing every detail is already handled.
Values & Approach
Luxury that feels deeply personal,
never performative.
Every engagement with Qui is intentionally intimate. She takes a limited number of clients each season so she can offer the presence, discretion, and thoughtfulness you'd expect from a trusted friend — backed by a private, detail-driven process you'd expect from a top-tier advisor.
Thoughtful discovery
Qui begins with careful listening — your story, your routines, the way you want to feel walking into a room or through your own front door. From there, she designs a path that honors your lifestyle and long-term vision.
White-glove execution
From pulling looks to previewing properties, Qui manages the details so you can experience the joy of the process without the overwhelm. Communication is clear, timelines are respected, and each step feels considered.
Discreet, trusted guidance
Whether editing your closet or negotiating your next home, Qui leads with integrity and discretion. Her goal is simple: for you to feel both fully taken care of and fully yourself in every space you inhabit.
