Elite Austin Designs

If you are looking to sell your home, this should be your first call after you choose your realtor! I can’t stress enough how wonderful it was to work with Valerie and her team. The quality and creativity was the definitive difference in our house selling versus continuing to sit on the market with some activity but no real interest. We had our home on the market for 5 months in what was supposed to be the height of the selling season with some showings but not offers. Within 30 days of having the home staged using EAD, the house had an offer without a major price drop! Valerie and team did an incredible job in choosing the right mix of furniture and accessories placed in just the right way to highlight the best qualities of each room.
Beyond the quality of the design and the furniture EAD brings to the table, we were thankful for the way they worked with us to provide the right design options at the right price. They really went above and beyond to get us the right fit for our budget. We really had not budgeted for staging after spending money to get the home ready for sale but Valerie and team worked with us on a payment plan to help us get the house staged right away rather than waiting several more months. We had done a lot of research finally deciding on EAD even though they were not the cheapest offering, we just felt after talking with Valerie and seeing the quality of the furniture they used, that this was the company to go with. Best decision we ever made and we only wish we would have used their services from DAY !!
Sincerely,

Homes in our price range and area west of Austin are on the market an average of 180 days. We got offers 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.
