Lisa Lucas Design

Lisa performs miracle transformations of houses and consistently improves their value for selling. If you plan to sell your house and it's looking tired, Lisa is your gal.

I don't usually take the time to write reviews but after consulting with Lisa Lucas for the interior update of my mother's 1954 city brick home that she helped us sell, in record time, I had to take the time to share my thoughts. Lisa recommended the paint colors for a full house update, had a keen sense of what needed to be done (and what didn't) both inside and outside the house to get it ready to sell, and was very responsive when we had questions or problems along the way. She staged the home in a mid-century appeal that looked harmonious with the age of the house and added just the right touches to generate maximum interest in the home. I believe that we got top dollar for our home largely due to her hard work and expertise. I appreciated her interior design guidance so much that I also asked (begged!) her to help us update our rural suburban home. We followed her suggestions for paint colors, carpet, lighting, and furniture placement "to a tee" and are extremely happy with the results. Lisa gives candid feedback, is thoughtful but decisive with her guidance, is full of ideas (she saved us money by providing cheaper but equally beneficial alternative solutions to ideas we had), and works with integrity and professionalism to help transform a home within budget - whether to appeal to prospective buyers for maximum sale value or to simply update a home consistent with your own unique style and personality.

My 1925 bungalow it was fairly dated when I went to sell it. I took all of Lisa's advice, mostly about fresh new paint colors and lighting. Then she staged it completely and it was amazing! She knew just what people were looking for. As prospective buyers entered, they commented on how cute the house looked. I was amazed myself. The colors were light and airy and everything went together, making the little house so inviting. It sold in a week (!) with two bids that took it well above asking price. Best thing ever!

Lisa is an extremely competent design professional, who helped transform the home my parents lived in for 55 years. To put it mildly, the house was dated with very little remodeling done in decades. After a tour of the house, she developed a list of recommendations and very-targeted, cost-conscious improvements such as paint colors, refinishing the hardwood floors, plus a few reasonably priced light fixtures. I believe these upgrades paid out multiple times over. What put house over the top was the staging she did for the open houses. It was tasteful and very eye-appealing, while giving this small home a sense of openness and light. We couldn't have been more pleased.

Lisa is a smart, talented, confident designer with a strong eye for detail and firm command of the job. She is sure-footed, knowledgeable and reliable, with lots of resources (furnishings, decor, painters, etc.) to back up her design plan. We had some preconceptions about what we wanted, and she showed us that we were about to make some big mistakes. Her judgment was superb and when we handed her the reins, she steered us to a beautifull, impressive result that perfectly suited the house, the neighborhood, and our target buyers. I trust her and she will be my first call next time I need to stge a house or make a design referral to a friend.

Lisa Lucas Design made us a believer in the power of effective staging during the sale of our 1943 historic farmhouse and property in Woodinville. Not only did we close way over list price; the thought that went into the interior design made new sense of every room and building. The fresh choices in furniture, accessories and paint color made our house completely new and move in ready. Lisa Lucas Design was punctual, tidy and flexible as we juggled list dates. We couldn't have done it with out Lisa! It was great working with someone who just "gets it" when working with a historic property. Thank you!

Lisa did a fantastic job staging our condo for sale. She showed the place to its best advantage, and we got lots of great feedback from buyers.

To say Lisa is great at what she does would be completely inadequate to describe the quality of her work. It's not just great - it's amazing. Her knowledge of the market, eye for design and ability to completely transform properties at such a low cost, place her head and shoulders above others in her field. When preparing a home for market, it's not the time to cut corners or trust your own amateur design instincts. Give Lisa a call and let her show you what a true expert designer and stager can do.

Lisa was able to quickly make an evaluation of the property we were selling and determine who the target buyer would be. There were no corners cut during staging and she delivered beyond what she promised. When we started getting feedback and offers for the property, there were only positive comments about the staging. In the end, the winning offer came from exactly the type of buyer who Lisa said would be interested in the property. Lisa not only understands design, but she understands real estate and marketing. She does her research.

Lisa is fantastic. After an initial consultation, she quickly supplied us with a clear, detailed, report with recommendations for painting every room of our house before we put it on the market. She included flooring recommendations as well as light fixtures and hardware. We got the work done and then she staged the house – it looked fantastic and our 10 offers in one week tell the whole story. Every aspect of the process went smoothly – communication was great, as was the move in and staging and then the move out – it could not have been done better. She and our real estate agent Steve Laevastu make a great team

Lisa is an incredibly talented designer. She was able to walk through our house that we were about to put on the market and come up with a good list of things we could do to get it ready to sell. She recommended very specific wall colors, drapes, and light fixtures. She knows what buyers in our market are looking for and made sure we had the house ready for staging. Once we had done our part, she came in with furniture, drapes and accessories that were absolutely perfect! (She made me want to move back in.) The house was on the market for less than a week and had numerous offers well above the list price. The final sale price was higher than we could have dreamed of and I attribute this in great part to Lisa's ability to make our house look spectaular. If you want to do it right, hire Lisa!

I've had the opportunity to work with Lisa on several projects and every single one of them has been a great experience. Lisa is fun, energetic and so very talented. Prepares homes for sale, focusing on what is truly necessary to make a difference and uses the most beautiful furnishings. Her transformations are amazing, her before and after photos continue to inspire me. Great work!
