Recent Home Staging Reviews in Chicago
- Taylor Eileen DesignsIt was great. Taylor ensured that the decorations were suited for my personality and tastes. That is important as it’s not a cookie cutter design, and that it gives a reflection on how Christmas looks and feels to me on my terms.
- Rhoades Team, Re/Max SuburbanIt went FAB! Susann is so knowledgeable. She made recommendations for updates to our house so it could be market ready. She has an extensive network that helped us do repairs, spruce up the house in a timely and affordable manner. Susann is responsive, gets immediate answers and direct. I highly recommend her and would hire her again in a second. Selling/Buying a house is such an emotional process for the seller/buyer. I knew Susann was always on our side
- PULTE HOMESpulte do not keep their words. They threathen you. I bought a home from pulte in eastfield community in bartlet. Anyone reading this. DO NOT BUY HOMES WITH PULTE. I requested 9ft entrance door in my house. Me as a buyer pointed out 7ft door that they were installing 3 times while house was getting built and all what I was told your door is on back order don't worry. 3 days before closing while celebration walkway I again pointed out mistake. Now a day before closing sales manager senior manager started threatening me either close or start paying 300 per penalty and we will sell your house in 1 week and retain your 40k because I signed contract. My contract and change order do not even mention door height and pulte is not ready to accept their mistake. NO THEY WILL NEVER. Very bitter experience with Pulte. DO NOT BUY HOUSE FROM PULTE. IF U BUY GET READY TO BE THREATENED AND LOOSE YOUR MONEY. Unfortunately I don't have option to give negative rating
- Eye to Eye Interiors, LLCIt was a wonderful experience. We were redecorating and needed some help as I really hate making these types of decisions, Dawn was fabulous to work with, she spent two hours going from room to room, making paint, lighting, picture selections then summarized all her ideas in an email. We received large paint swatches two days later along with websites that connected to various products we had looked at. Really appreciated the help as this was a small job. I will definitely use her again
- Organizing Options of IllinoisI was overwhelmed! I had my own stuff, plus stuff from my parents home that I inherited. OMG, the STUFF! Antiques, silver, books out the whazoo. What to do! Mara came in, quickly surveyed the scene and laid out a game plan. Using her recommended vendors, I did most of the work, but she handled things I knew nothing about - like how to shed silverware and antiques. What mover to use. Who was the most dependable junk hauler. A few months later, I moved. Still with too much stuff, but that was my fault. Mara is a gem and a delightful lady. Just call her and REST EASY. Her fees are very reasonable
- Staging Redesign Group, Inc.We as always recommend GraceAnn for staging our upcoming listings. As usual she outdid herself. We were so happy to see all her consultation requests had been done. Removing furniture, rearranging furniture and painting. What a breeze it was to sell once it got on the market it was only there for 3 days and SOLD! Thank you GraceAnn you really help sell a house fast! John & Dianne Wilt Broker/Owners Realstar Realty Inc
- In & Out DesignOur experience with Mary was excellent. She came on time and went straight to business. She was very knowledgable and patient with our multiple questions. She took each room of our condo into consideration and we discussed colors, draperies, art work, etc, for each of the rooms in our condo. She gave us answers for things that we have been trying to find solutions for months. I really enjoyed watching her at work. I will definitely recommend her
- Inspirations For Your Home LLC-Interior Design & Full Kitchen/Bath RemodelsThe FaceTime consultation was perfect. I was able to scan through my condo while doing FaceTime with Lisa. She had great feedback while we were doing FaceTime. Lisa listened and understood my concerns and my goals. Making an appointment with her was very easy, she responded in a timely manner. I purchased additional services from her that included a floor plan and color suggestions and she was very reasonably priced. What was so great is that I worked with her for about an hour and provided what I needed. Any local designer requires 2-4 hour minimums. Lisa’s services were ideal! I highly recommend her
- Rhoades Team, Re/Max SuburbanWe listed our house in Wheaton with Susann after interviewing several realtors. Susann?s marketing plan, staging suggestions, pricing rationale and enthusiasm sold us. We had 2 offers the first 5 days which shows she was right on target. She was there for us every step of the way through closing and has kept in contact with us to this day. We had already purchased a home in the Evanston/Skokie area using a different realtor before meeting Susann and what a difference! Once signing the purchase contract that realtor almost disappeared into the woodwork. We told all our (former) neighbors how great Susann was to work with and highly recommend her
- Paxem, Inc. Residential & Senior Moving & Estate LiquidationThe Paxem rep who came to meet with us and go through the house was very professional, friendly and thorough. She took pictures to help research whether or not there would be enough items to hold an Estate Sale. And she gave us an estimate for decluttering. It was a big job and I felt in good hands. The decluttering team was fantastic. Two hard working women went through the house from attics to basement in 6 hours. They were pleasant and fun and kept us moving along. I really can't imagine how we could have done it without them. We bagged all of the stuff to be disposed and I called a trash hauler to pick up. (that was separate from their service.) The Estate Sale team came back awhile later. They set up 50+ years worth of items and advertised with their many contacts. I was not there (I live 2500 miles away) but the neighbors reported an excellent turn out and said that the sale was very well supervised and organized. We were lucky that enough items were sold that my Mom was able to put a few dollars in the bank. Paxem's contacts with specialty buyers made the sale successful, I'm sure. I can't say enough good things about Paxem. It can be very emotional to prepare your family home for sale and the work itself is physically taxing. They were so supportive and helpful and stuck with us during a stressful time for our family. The house sold very quickly, which will be a big help to our mother who is now in assisted care (after a fall that happened in the middle of all of this!) What a relief to have it done

"Eric & Jay arrived right on time, worked quickly and got an overwhelming (to me!) job done right. But above and beyond - they were easy to work with. They were sensitive to my needs, saw that I was unable to work with them for long hours. They accommodated my schedule, put me at ease, and gave no judgment. I highly recommend them and I WILL call them again for another job.

"<p>Overall we had a great experience with Martins. This was a rather large project that involved renovating the second and third floors in a vintage bank building into an over 5000 square foot personal residence. I had started this project with several other contractors, however they either did substandard and unsafe work, or ran off with thousands of dollars and never completed the job. Needless to say I was a bit nervous about starting the project again after my previous experiences.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> What I appreciated most was that he tried to make sure that he was the right man for the job and could bring additional value to the project beyond an ordinary contractor. I appreciated the vision and design elements that he brought to the project. We spent a few months on design. Martins was great at presenting ideas when I did not have a particular vision for a space. He was also great at incorporating our ideas as well. His years of construction experience combined with his design skills, helped us make elegant design choices that were also cost effective and functional.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Once the work actually began, things moved along at a steady pace. There were no long gaps waiting for one trade to finish, in order to allow the next to work. The project seemed to be choreographed quite well in that regard. While the tradesman who worked on the project, were often just one or two people, I was impressed with pace at which they completed their work. The quality of the work was outstanding as well. We made many design changes along the way, and Martins was able to incorporate them. Any delays in the project were a result of our design changes or our delay in getting back to him with our choices of finishes. </p>
<p> </p>
<p> In the end, we were able to transform a dilapidated old bank building into a beautiful home. I could not be more pleased with the result. We completed the bulk of the work almost a year ago and Martins checks in periodically to make sure that everything is still to our satisfaction. Martins will always be my first choice any time I need any design and build work done. Indeed I have already consulted him on several other projects.</p>

"We were fixing up our house to sell it. I quickly realized that I needed help with the colors. We needed to coordinate various whites and beiges of the cabinets, appliances, trim, walls and carpet. I thought I could handle that, but it was not working at all. The appliances were a bright, cool white and didn't work with the other colors.
<br>
<br>Grace Ann saved the entire situation. She had a deck of paint colors and immediately chose the perfect trim and wall colors, and then we changed the white of the kitchen cabinets as well. Then all of the colors worked perfectly with the carpet. More than that, they looked so beautiful in the rooms, because she had accounted for the direction of the natural light coming in the windows.
<br>She also helped us choose the granite countertops. Dark gray, softer than the usual black, and it also worked very well with the other colors. She advised us to choose a deep sink and pull-down faucet in an updated style. And then she helped us to pick out brushed nickel light fixtures that were awesome. The other excellent advice was regarding the front storm door. We were going to skip that one, but on her advice we replaced it, and the difference was amazing. It made the front of the house look completely different, so inviting and fresh. She also chose the exterior trim color, which was perfect.
<br>Everyone who saw our house was amazed. The colors are so clean and fresh, and have a soft glow. The kitchen is incredible. We've had so many compliments, and even several of the contractors expressed interest in purchasing it.
<br>I'm happy to say that we received three offers within two weeks of listing our home, and almost the full asking price. Thank you, Grace Ann.
