Working with Lisa and her team at Design Buzz has been a successful great since the first meeting! They were able to capture and highlight the differentiating aspects of our property and the result was amazing! We had 23 showings on the first day, 5 offers and sold 10% above LP!

DesignBuzz led to 16 showings in the first 5 days of listing, and an offer at the listed price in less than a week, which eventually closed in 30 days! The photos of the staging made the place look better than I had ever seen it, as the previous owner. As siblings who inherited the property, we had mixed feelings about whether to stage the place. Our conversations with Design Buzz, our agent, and some compelling sales data convinced us to invest in the expense. It was a great investment. DesignBuzz was prompt, responsive, reasonable, attentive to detail, gave a 45-day window which was longer than a competitor's, and had a very good sense of style to match the property and the market. They even alerted me to the tiny nail holes we'd have to patch after the De-staging. They wanted to hang light-weight pictures on the wal to enhance the vibe. We agreed. It was an easy patch. Also, no issues with moving a lot of furniture up and down stairs. In short, style, professionalism, rates, recommendations and results make DesignBuzz a good choice.

AdamLocal Guide · 15 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Adam has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I was extremely impressed with the job that Lisa and her team did with staging my house. She was friendly, communicative and transparent through the whole process. Design Buzz was a no-brainer after I had met Lisa and gotten the quote. It was less expensive than my other quotes, plus hers had 15 days extra, just in case the house didn't sell quickly. I felt confident that she was going to do a great job after hearing her ideas, and seeing all the positive feedback from her other clients.
The feedback from the staging from prospective buyers, as well as friends and family who saw the staging, was overwhelmingly positive! I had heard from multiple friends and family members that my house never looked so good! (Ouch)
I'm very pleased with my experience with Design Buzz and would recommend them to anyone!
