First off, Sharon insisted that we get the house appraised and provided us with her so-called excellent appraiser "James Moore". Don't go with him either. He was supposed to look into many homes in the area and consider the increase in home prices, etc. but he did none of that. Instead, he took six days to get back to us, told me on the phone that he had completed the appraisal within a few hours and called us past 9:00 p.m. the night before we wanted to list the house. He compared our home to ones in the same neighborhood only and did not consider any of our upgrades and energy efficiencies. The homes he compared were sold over 3 months ago or longer. He also sized it much smaller than our original appraiser had done. When I told Sharon what he came up with, not only did she tell me to go with his sizing (which is ridiculous) but she also said that we should price it at what he said or LOWER! That was crazy and for some reason, we bought it. We went slightly higher and that was not enough. She was obviously dying for us to make a quick sale and didn't want to do any work to get the money. I will describe more later as to the poor experience but in the meantime, another house in our small neighborhood sold for over $20/sq. ft more than ours and was not upgraded as ours was. Their bathroom was remodeled but nothing else was. We remodeled all bathrooms and kitchen, had travertine floor and hand-scraped wood floors, new landscaping, 16 Seer A/Cs, radiant barriers, and more. We had architectural features including the alcove for our wood-burning stove. I figure that we lost over $100,000 due to her tactics and the way she bullied us. I have been suffering for over a month in depression because of this. More details. The house was supposed to be listed on Thursday and I saw no evidence of it other than on her website. On Friday, I asked questions as to where the listings were online and was told it would take time. Finally, Sharon told me that it was on MLS and Realtor.com. I looked and it wasn't there. I sent an email to her and her staff and finally got a reply. Apparently, one of them forgot to check the box to post it to the internet. So it didn't get published to the two sites until Friday afternoon. We didn't have anyone call on Saturday but we did have two showings on Sunday. The people that saw it told her they would offer us something that night - we got the message just after their appointment viewing time ended. They offered us less money and Sharon told me that we should accept it. We counter-offered and she sounded very annoyed and didn't agree. Of course, they accepted it. We should have never priced it so low. What amazes me is that I see here that she is selling another home in Coppell for $175/sq. ft. She could have done that with us and allowed us to not lose money on our home. We told her that it was a sellers' market, that prices were rising, that homes were scarce and that we had lots of time. None of that worked - she insisted that we should price the home so that the banks would accept it based on other homes. That was all garbage. Obviously, banks are providing mortgages for higher-priced homes; and she's selling one of those homes (actually, I had seen on her site at that time that she was selling another for over $170/sq.ft). I don't know why she argued with us and coerced us to lose money. We spent over $200,000 on the home within the last five years (we lived it in less than five years) and we barely got that money back. Plus we had to pay the realtor fees, etc. out of our own pocket. Looking back, she must have just wanted the money quickly and not have to do any work. Her behavior is unethical. I had read a review about her on Yelp prior to choosing her and made the mistake of not considering it. The person had the same bad experience. She bullied him and got away with it. Another thing - she never stood up for us. Every time the other agent requested something, she would just pass on the email. She never gave us advice, only sent us his requests. Let me say something else about her team. They don't communicate with each other. I had to tell them what to fix in the flyer they prepared of our home. They had stupid irrelevant info in there where there were lots of things that could sell the house. They even had a line "appraised at ___". I told them to take it out because there was obviously no appraisal value we wanted shown since it was so low. I spent time fixing the "features" list and sent it to them only to get back the same thing. The sign had not been put up until the last minute and neither was the lock-box. I had to tell them to do it. Sharon gave us a long sales pitch when we met her yet never gave us any references. She refers to how her listings get on all these sites, but when you look at the URLs, there are multiple repeats and the data is old - some sites don't even exist. Please trust me that Sharon does not have your best interest at heart. I suggest you go with someone who is at least nice and takes into consideration what you want. We fully regret ever hiring her.

I would have even been willing to pay more to get it finished, but after he finished the second job, he completely disappeared, and i was never even given the chance to complain. The Second job was even worse. We are having the following problems with the floor: (i) the tiles are cracking in a section of the floor (ii) floor is noticeably uneven, leaving sharp lifted corners (iii) some of the tiles installed are broken and some have jagged edges (iv) some grout lines are noticeably thicker than others, and there is grout missing by the fireplace. It is completely horrible for the amount of money we paid him. Our builder, as well as another flooring specialist, has confirmed that the tile was incorrectly cut and installed. I reported him to the BBB and will take him to court over the installation. Now we will have to buy new tile and completely redo the floor.

Kitchen Cabinet Refacing questions, answered by experts
If you don't sand your cabinets, the new paint or stain won’t adhere properly, impacting the final finish and leading to peeling, chipping, or a sloppy result that won't stand the test of time. Sanding removes the old finish, smooths imperfections, and gives the new coat something to grip. Without it, you will waste your time, money, and effort.
You should not clean cabinets with vinegar. While many homeowners think it is a natural cleaner, vinegar is a mild acid, not a degreaser. Since it does not cut through greasy grime, it won't effectively remove it from kitchen cabinets. For best results, use a degreasing cleaner designed for prep work, then rinse and dry thoroughly before sanding.
Kitchen remodeling can be as minor as a new coat of paint or as significant as a kitchen expansion to add more space. Some common things to include in a kitchen remodel include:
New appliances
Fresh flooring
New paint on walls or cabinets
Luxury countertops
New or custom cabinets
Lighting fixtures
New cabinet hardware
Changes in electrical or plumbing locations
New sink and faucet
If you simply need to refresh the color of your cabinets, a coat of paint will make your entire room look brand-new. However, if your cabinet doors are damaged, you might consider cabinet refacing. Cabinet refacing involves replacing the doors, drawer fronts, and hardware, upgrading and repairing them. Consult a cabinet professional about the best option to upgrade your kitchen cabinetry.
While it’s possible to reface or refinish kitchen cabinets yourself, it requires substantial time, money, and sweat equity. In particular, cabinet refacing requires many tools and materials, costing you between $1,645 and $6,570, depending on what you already own. Besides that, this is a project that shows imperfections easily. If carpentry isn't your strong suit, hiring a cabinet professional is best to ensure high-quality results.
