Dear One Two Six,
We appreciate your talents in making my brother’s old home sparkle! 240 people went thru the (first) open house over two days and we received 5 bids, four above asking.
Jan (home owner, Mountain View)
Congraz Jan and happy Thanksgiving!
We received an email from the US Commerce Association a week ago, notifying us that they’ve chosen One Two Six Design for the “Best of Palo Alto Award” in Home Design & Planning Services category.
One Two Six Design, Best of Palo Alto Award
Woohoo~~!! Yippeeee~~!! (for the next 5 mins)
Finally when the excitement subdued, and calmness settled back in, we realized… wait a minute, “Best of Palo Alto”? But… we moved from Palo Alto to the present Mountain View location more than 5 years ago. US Commerce Association? Who are these people?
Intrigued, we followed the link provided in the email, the web site open with instruction on how to obtain the award plaque, for a fee… Something didn’t feel right, if someone really want to give us an award, shouldn’t they give us the plaque for free?
Have to say, these people have came up with a very creative way to grab your money, hats off to them. In the world that’s full of spam mails, at least US Commerce Association’s spam comes with a vanity award.
Picture > 1000 Words?
Here is what one of our clients had to say:
Thank you Vivian,
Your photographer is amazing – he makes this old house become new!!
It is so clear, crispy and freshen!!I will have to use the team of you and Victor for the other not so perfect listings :-0)
I understand that my request gave you and Victor more works – but it is the BEST reference evidence when I needs to recommend you to my other clients – thanks again!
Well done Victor! (www.victorlinphoto.com)
We received this email from the realtor for one of the houses we staged today:
Oh my goodness Vivian and team,I cried when I looked at these pictures – what a difference!!!!Thank you thank you thank you!Yours sincerely,Amelia (Coldwell Banker – Los Altos)
Wow! What a heart felt note! Thank you Amelia for making us part of your team!
I meant to post this a month ago, finally got around to do it today.
This nice note was mailed to us by the owners of a Los Altos home we staged back in March. We are always very appreciative of our clients who spend the time to send us testimonials. It puts smiles on the faces of our entire team!
Before the staging
After the staging
Here are some nice words from a client (Mountain View) who we recently helped to stage her home for the market. This was an occupied staging, we added our furnishing and accessories to compensate her existing stuff to make it practical / livable and yet presentable.
It is always to hear nice words…
