"You guys are aces! We listed with another Realtor for 6 months but came up bupkis. Then, we talked with our neighbors who recommended you and called you 2 days after our first attempt expired. You came in, gave us advice, staged it and got us an offer above list price in just 8 days. Wahoo!" - Jana & Kevin M.

"The best thing we ever did was hire you two. First, helping us find and buy my mother’s Desert home. Then selling that one, then selling ours, and finally helping us find our permanent Desert home. When that was all done, interior redesign down to the studs? We didn’t realize you and Bill were so talented. You both have been such a gift to our new lives out here." - Gail M.

"Wow, what can I say that others have not? I needed to find a good rental and because I was out of the country, Linda and I did everything by Email including funding the property. Linda reached out knowing that I was stuck far away but still needed a hand to find and secure a lovely home when I returned to the States. She and Bill sent photos, negotiated with the property owner, managed the transfer of funds from overseas, and even helped me get settled in. I was at my wit's end when we connected, but because of their professionalism, I survived the process, very well, thank you very much!! Linda and Bill are a treasure and anyone not using their consummate skills when searching to buy or rent, is surely missing out." - Gary H.

"We originally put the sale of our existing residence in the hands of another Realtor. Although shown many times during the 6 month term, our first Realtor was unable to solicit even one offer. We took it off the market and called Linda & Bill B – the experts at home staging. Your team of designers, marketers and movers performed a seamless job of decorating the home. The results speak for themselves: 2 offers in the first week back on the market, and we closed at a very competitive price! We will recommend you to all of our friends and neighbors as their next agents - and stagers!" - Jerry & Ruth M.
★★★★★
"Thank you for the yeoman’s work you and Bill did for me. It has been a very hard move and still feeling very sad about leaving my home. But you two were amazing in helping me handle the stress of selling and working with the movers. I will miss the Desert and you both very much. Could not have been happier, first class, top professionals...absolutely TOPS! " - Betty K.

" - David & Marta S.

" - Dave & Jan E.

"We just wanted to let you know how happy we are with the job you did stepping in to help redesign our house. The house is beautiful. For years, we have dealt with interior designers for our other houses. Almost without fail, jobs come in late, over budget, and the quality is usually not what was promised. Our experience with you was the opposite. The quality of your work was exactly what was promised. The remodel was completed on time and the furniture was delivered when you said it would be. It was even below budget. Your response to any complication or request was terrific. " - Chris & Gail M.
★★★★★
"We want to thank you and Bill – again – for the wonderful job you did remodeling and staging our home. Like the first one, you captured the character of the architecture of this one beautifully. The furniture you selected, its placement, plus all the artwork and other furnishings, as well as the sense of color you created throughout the whole house gives a clear feeling of how comfortable this home really is for us. Your services have truly enhanced our lives. When things go so well, some people forget to say Thank You. You’ve got another big one from us!" - Lexine & Cuyler T.
★★★★★
"Lupita and I are excited about getting to spend time in our lovely desert home thanks to you! Great job finding the house in the hot summer and negotiating the deal. Looking forward to great family times there." - Ron C.
