What a difference working with a professional makes. You did a fabulous job! Thank you for all your hard work! You definitely are an expert at what you do. Sharma Gaponoff, August 2008
Thank you for doing a beautiful job Cathy Lee! The initial enthusiam from the real estate community resulted in my pricing the home substantially higher than I thought the market would bear. I am now reviewing multiple offers with my Realtor. I am so pleased!! Doug Wilson, August 2008
Recently I was respnsible for selling my mother's home. Cathy Lee's name was given to me. She helped me realize what was worth spending money on and what I needed to do. I was delighted to discover how she was able to use some of what we had in the home, add pieces and make the place look updated and fresh. The colors she selected showed off the floor plan and enhanced the view. The Realtor's loved it and we received a full price offer in three days. Susan Brady, Lafayette, July 2008
Cathy Lee, the respect, understanding and compassion you shared with us meant the world to us! Your warmth and presence has been a light in the midst of chaos these past weeks. We count our working relationship with you a true blessing. Thank you! Wales/Cole Family July 2008
Thank you Cathy Lee for making my home look so beautiful! I'm sure it will sell quickly now that you staged it. I am surprised at how much bigger the rooms look and I love all the colors you used. My home is very warm, inviting, comfortable and ready to sell. You are amazing! Jennifer Gray Concord
Each morning as I drive to work and look to the North, I give thanks to you, Cathy Lee and our Realtor-you both worked as a dynamite team to sell our home in three days in a challenging market. Your staging made our place look like a model home. Gratefully, Darren Angus Pleasanton
