Hi Jeffrey and Son,…read more I am so sorry to call you on Christmas Day. I was going to call you first thing in the morning and I just found out From my husband ....this minute at 10:30 pm..... Christmas Day.... The commercial Precor movers from LA are coming to our house at around 10:30 am tomorrow. Possibly a little later......i do not know for sure. I asked my Husband to call them when he wakes up to ask for a more accurate arrival time. My husband thinks he can arrange the pieces himself. He has zero space planning skills. . The machines are very heavy and need great care moving them from our living room back down a hallway to be placed in my guest room .... from their Covid home taking up my living room! Ugh! finally!!!!!! I am so sorry I did not give you more notice but, he has been planning this all on his own and just advised me tonight that they are coming tomorrow. I will pay you triple whatever your consulting fee if you or anyone in your company would be able to come over earlier and give me a feel for where you think each piece of equipment should go. The room is completely empty! my husband already has the mats on the floor, but, he is not a designer at all. I desperately need someone to just give me their professional opinion. I don't want to make stakeout heavy exercise equipment. I would feel very comfortable if there's any way your son or you or even any designer you know could come over anywhere from 9:30 am to 10:30 AM tomorrow and just take a quick look at the room as well as the Commercial Precor equipment. It is extremely heavy to move and needs the professional crew from LA to safely move it down the hall and into the back bedroom . There isn't too much: 1 commercial Precor treadmill, 1 Precor adaptive motion trainer(step machine). 1 Commercial bicycle and one commercial size ----- low to the ground water rower. 1 normal size flat / reclining weight lifting bench. Free weights can be stored empty clothes closet. The back room of the Bougainvilla one plan in Indian Ridge country club was designed to be a guest bedroom. It has an attached bath. It is 12 Ft by13 ft. Call The larger closet can accommodate free weights and many other fitness accessories. What pieces should go where.? Machelle DeSilva. 760610 3610 . Thank you for helping me if you or your son feel you may quickly help me.. i don't want to make a mistake as the professional Precor pieces are very heavy. . I am so sorry I didn't call you earlier. My husband seems to think he knows what should go where. In design even with just a few piece of furniture it can make her break the aesthetics and design of the room. I just want to know that I hired someone who knows about space planning and design. Of coursejeffrey Juasky recommends you and you talked about your son as well. Even if just your son could come over or any other designer that may work for you it should be a pretty easy job. In spite of the short notice, I will have to remain very blessed and delighted if one of you could come over or even another designer that you think might have a spare half an hour to take a quick look. I did not call Jeffrey Joravsky as I know last time we spoke he was exceptionally busy with his project up in Colorado. I just don't want make a mistake of moving this heavy equipment into a room and have it look hodgepodge. We may not have many options due to the small space, but at least I will feel at peace, knowing the designer looked at it and reassured that the placement would be best of the furniture From a design perspective. Please call me rather than text. I will keep my phone close with the Volume on high.. please call me one way or another if your son can come over for this quick job. I can also share with the other projects on my list to get your ideas and proceed with them soon. Please call me in the morning if possible Machelle at indian Ridge Country Club 760 610 3610 As you probably remember, jeffreyjurasky recommended you for my future projects. He also recommended Troy Zimmerman. I am desperate as I don't want to place the equipment without a professional Designer as the fitness equipment is so heavy to move. I am optimistic that I may see you, your son or another talented person tomorrow mornin. Please call me one way or another. I can also how you my other project that I. Need your help with. Kindest Regards Machelle Indian Ridge Country Club

Needless to say our yard needed a lot of work. Troy put together a very unique plan for our yard incorporating some of what was already there and at the same time changing a number of items. Troy produced a drawing of our front yard and our backyard and what he envisioned should be the design of our completed yard. Along with Troy's help, Karen and I did a lot of the labor ourselves. The work went on for a couple of years. In the end, our yard was featured in an issue of the Phoenix Home and Garden magazine. Karen and I were excited about the finished product. Since the article in the magazine, we have used Troy to assist us with additional work on the yard. He comes to Phoenix approximately monthly and will answer any questions we have.

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.
