TESTIMONIALS

What others are saying.

"You are the best DesAnn. That house was so Plain Jane when we took the listing. Very nice, great features...just needed your touches. You did them right. We got a great price for the house, 3rd person who saw it, then a secondary offer with the 4 th buyer to view it and yesterday a 3rd person who wanted to write an offer. Yup....the 5 person to see it. We always tell sellers, we want to capture one of the 1st 6 people to view the home. You did it...we got 3 out of 5. WOW!"
- Kim Kapustik, Keller Williams

Dear DesAnn,
You left just minutes ago and I have to tell you how grateful I am. Though I was feeling more than a tad self-conscious about the condition of my circa 1979 home, you made me feel immediately comfortable and that the possibilities for an updated and cozy house were there. I was feeling so overwhelmed by the opportunity to update and not knowing where to start. You made the process seem so much more approachable - and even exciting. Moreover, I felt like I was with a friend. I am so appreciative of your looking at our humble home with loving eyes. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

- Pam

"When DesAnn came into my house I thought it looked well decorated and ready for sale. She moved some furniture and removed some pieces from the room and I was amazed at how much more spacious and inviting the rooms looked when she was finished!"
- B. Popa

DesAnn,
Thank you so much for taking extra time to teach the Staging Class. Although I hold the ASP designation for the professional stager, not just the Realtor stager, I found your class to be more beneficial to me. I was at a loss for the bookkeeping system. I didn't have the best idea of how to break down the fees, and how to go about offering them. I did provide these services to my clients, but balked when it came to the fees. I now feel highly confident in charging the most reasonable fees for both me and my clients. I didn't want to lose clients, but I was not charging enough for my very valuable service. . Having the opportunity to once again stage homes with the instructor was extremely helpful. Your reputation extends to my area, and when I mentioned your name to my new clients, just the day after finishing your class, they knew of you from the Home and Garden Show! I felt instantly, that I had their respect, due to the training I received from you. I am much more confident in my talent and how to market itI recommend your class to those serious about having their own staging business. I look forward to taking more classes, and building my decorating business, as well. Please feel free to give my name and number to anyone who needs a "witness!"

"The family room looks great. It works well whether we're watching the grandkids, hosting a party, or simply watching television. DesAnn deftly incorporated hints of our family hobbies, heirlooms, and passions into the room. The best part was coming home at the end of the day to an inviting and comfortable space that we could enjoy immediately. What a super gift!"
--The Mischalks

WOW!WOW!WOW! I should have had a redesign years ago! I cant believe how FABULOUS the Family Room is. How soon can you come back and do the Dining & Living Rooms?
--M.Meschak

After almost 20 years of living in our home we needed a fresh set of eyes. DesAnn was able to help us showcase our home's best features. We feel that staging our home was a great success! The first showing led to an offer...after only 13 days on the market! Thanks DesAnn, we're true believers that staging a home makes the difference!
