I have now successfully staged 6 homes with her. Allison has an uncanny knack for giving me some very cool design unpredicted by the home. Allison is a thrift freak who pulls in the unique resale pieces to add to the more expensive newer pieces. She always delivers. She's always on budget. That's a true relief. I highly recommend this very creative human being.

Homes in our price range and area west of Austin are on the market an average of 180 days. We got…read moreoffers within 3 days and closed in 6 weeks from listing, with special thanks to Valerie and Decora crew. We wanted something with "class" and noted that Valerie's homes were not stock set ups but a bit more in tune with the home's area and price and, most especially, in tune with the house being sold. She knows how to highlight the good and make the best of what we thought of as awkward or worrisome. She sees the house as a buyer would. After living there 20 years I could not see what a buyer would see. For years I'd played with different layouts in my LR. I'd consulted two designers in my 20 yrs there and recently had one stager in for consult. Valerie came in with what seemed like a hodge podge of furniture and "fixins" and 24 hours later had done what no one before had accomplished. We saw all that stuff and just stood back and trusted them to do their magic. They waved their magic wand and set up that troublesome space so taht it seemed like a cozy conversation area in a big space and made sure that the great views were not harmed. She knew what aspects could sell the house and designed for them. The house flowed and felt comfortable and each area had its own identity. I wanted to move back in ! I had initially thought more areas needed to be staged but she said we could do less than I thought and that saved me some money. Some places would have seemed awkward to a buyer but she made them special areas to be appreciated. Buyers could envision what the possibilities were because of her and her assistant Mary's talent. Valerie's crew was efficient and respectful of the property which was key since I'd just done repairs after the movers took out my furniture. I hate to say it but I was a bit worried about getting someone too creative because I worried that they'd be more into the art than into the business side and selling your home is stressful business. Valerie seems to be balanced between left and right brain because she made every appointment, returned every call, and never missed a beat. Organized and on time. Thank you! Woo Hoo! House sold.

She knows her stuff, and she delivered on her promises. Actually she SIGNIFICANTLY OVERdelievers on her promises! Trulie takes the time to thoroughly look at the entire home. Then she takes the time to properly LISTEN to you, and what your goals and objectives are. Then she combines everything she learned about the home and your goals and objectives, and comes up with a fantastic staging solution. I have received numerous compliments on Trulie's staging. Trulie's professionalism is second to none. All appointments were kept on time. Delivery and pick up were scheduled and executed without any challenges whatsoever, including NO scratches!! Finally, I'd like to point out that she has a great team to help her with delivery and pick up. I HIGHLY recommend Trulie for all of your staging needs!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Janice Hanks of Next Level Austin. Next Level Austin…read morespecializes in interior (and exterior) design in home and office remodeling and in new construction. My husband and I worked with Janice four years ago with a complete remodel of the 1980s home we bought in central Austin, which had "great bones" but was very dated and needed a total overhaul. (Peach colored padded raw silk walls in the formal dining room, anyone?) Janice was involved in every decision -- from paint colors to flooring (new wood floors, tile and carpet throughout the entire house), lighting, plumbing fixtures, new granite countertops, down to helping me select new cabinet hardware for the entire house. The kitchen was a major part of the project -- walls were moved, an island added, new appliances, new granite countertops, and many other changes. We had a tight timeline since we were still living in our previous house, which we had already sold, and the buyers wanted to move in. We worked with a fabulous contractor and between Janice and our contractor, we got the entire project completed in less than three months. We updated the three bathrooms, but we left the old, small shower and bathtub (which we never used) in the master bathroom. Late last year, we decided that we were ready to do a total remodel of the master bathroom, with the main goal to get rid of the old shower and turn the bathtub space into a large, walk-in shower. We contacted Janice again and worked with her to design the new bathroom (the old bathroom was completely gutted). As with the prior remodel, she thought of wonderful little touches that really made the new bathroom gorgeous; things I would not have thought of. She helped us select the paint and tile and made sure everything pulled together seamlessly. Every time I walk into it, I can't believe how beautifully it turned out! Janice is truly gifted, and her ability to choose colors and textures is phenomenal. She is able to look at a dated house or room and visualize what it *can* look like; something I have a hard time doing. She works with her clients to learn their tastes and style, and she then pulls it all together to create a space that is perfect for the client, whether the client's taste is classic, modern or something in between. I would recommend Janice Hanks and Next Level Austin to anyone who needs assistance with design. Check out the website; there are many gorgeous photos of her work (including some of my kitchen and new bathroom!).

Janice Hanks shows up at your door as a classy, highly sought after professional designer, but I am…read moreconvinced that she wears a superhero costume underneath that business attire! Where do I even start? I have worked with Janice on numerous occasions/homes, from paint colors and staging to "whole house" top to bottom projects. She has been a game changer for my business and my own home. I am a Realtor, and when I bring Janice into a listing, I assist my sellers in selling higher and faster than the other homes in the neighborhood. Anything she touches turns to art, and she has left my clients speechless by her results. On a recent listing, I sat down with an amazing client who said "We hate this house- get us out of here". The home needed a new roof, new paint, and updating everywhere and would be considered a "handyman's special" if we listed- and we had a very small remodel budget. We also needed to sell this home high to get the seller what she needed out. I immediately called Next Level Austin. Janice picked out roof singles, exterior paint, interior paint, staging, door handles, and everything in between. With my listing strategy and Janice's magic, we were able to list high and receive 3 full priced offers immediately. The only hiccup was when the seller fell back in love with her home after she was under contract with a buyer- Janice is that good! I promised her we could use Janice on her new home when she invests in one, and we both got excited. Working with Janice is a blast! I did the same thing at my house. Having the wrong "feel" in your home is frustrating. I called Janice in and did whatever she said. I trust her this much. My home feels like a showcase, and my investment was less than half of what I expected it to be. Janice is the best in her field and works with your budget. Working with her pays itself back twenty fold- I tell my clients when we are focused on their bottom line, we cannot afford NOT to call Janice- and I mean it.

We just had a small garage door issue 3 years later. I called and they picked up right away. Despite the fact that we are way out of the warranty time-frame, they sent someone right out to make sure everything was OK and were very nice about it. They genuinely stand behind everything involving their homes. We rarely had issues after purchasing, but when we did they quickly became non-issues and they took care of them immediately. Totally recommend them to friends that are looking for a new build in the Austin area.

My initial impression of Paradisa Homes was not very favorable as evidenced by my first review…read more However, given new developments and courteous assistance from the company's owners themselves, I felt it necessary to revise my review to highlight their most attentive help in resolving all the construction issues with the home. Shortly after purchasing my home, a series of miscommunications and oversights lead to prolonged delays in addressing some minor unfinished repairs that stemmed from post-construction mishaps and damages, which were later revealed to be no fault of the builder. Additionally, certain design elements of the driveway made it impossible to utilize the parking garage. Both of these issues made for an inconvenient and frustrating initial few months of home ownership. But eventually, my concerns caught the attention of the company's two primary partners, Ed and Thomas. Once the issues were explained in detail over several email exchanges, they were more than willing to accommodate my repair requests and even went so far as to redesign my driveway, which they were really under no obligation to do so. After speaking with Ed and Thomas, it became apparent that they are both genuinely concerned in making sure their clients are thoroughly satisfied with their homes and that any issues be dealt with in a timely manner. I believe my case was entirely the result of a breakdown in communication within the companies various departments and in no way a reflection of how they conduct business. I don't believe that it was the intent of Paradisa Homes to delay addressing my home's repairs had upper management been made initially aware. Ed and Thomas have been nothing more than courteous and accommodating during these past few weeks. And my frustration has given way to genuine gratitude for their utmost professionalism.

Jodi came over and was happy to provide consultation and leave it at that....but her input proved to be spot on that I eventually wanted her help every step of the way. We ended up selling the house PRIOR TO LISTING AT ASKING PRICE and I am 100% confident it was due to her consultation and staging design. Jodi is extremely pleasant to work with and provides a sense of relief that she can take all the stress off of you and exceed the expectations of your design needs. We loved her work so much she decorated our new home as soon as we moved in and it was the best feeling to be done with decorating (at my last home it took me 3 years to decorate ). Jodi will give you options on how to go about it depending on your budget and truly understands individual taste and tone. I couldn't be happier to recommend Envision Staging & Design for your next design project. Jodi is cost conscience and her input is worth it!
