**★★★★★ — HU-541975160, Jan. 2022**

> Very professional and excellent stager. Always on time and follow up regularly to get things done. High taste selections of furniture and designs to pleased the buyers and sellers. Highly recommend!!!

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

> Thank you for the amazing review. We appreciate the feedback!

**★★ — karen\_strickland55, Nov. 2021**

> We contracted with K. Donavan to stage our 2,600 sq. ft. Southwest Vistas Reno home for market. Natalia was assigned to us and told us they would be able to stage our home in time for listing during Thanksgiving week. Since we signed the contract, Nat has told us they have no furniture available due to a 30,000 square foot home they have staged; the office was taking off for Thanksgiving week so they were short staff to complete our staging; and as our assigned senior designer, she was personally stretched thin driving back and forth from Reno to Fremont, staging a home in California. Nat said despite these challenges, she would scrounge around and find pieces to stage our home. When we went to the site yesterday, we found a hodge podge of different furniture strewn about that were neither proportionately correct for rooms and inconsistent in style. It's 24 hours before a photographer is scheduled and K. Donavan is nowhere to be found. Our real estate agent has tried to reach the owner, Michael; he has not bothered to call her back. We have been told that they are going to fix things but they have stopped short of any real commitment. Basically, a day before photographing the home, we have a sea of greige, garage sale to present to prospective buyers. Nat explains away this design disaster (replete with two candlesticks with thin candles like Mom used to light) as they are not done yet, they want to show how different styles of furniture will work, etc. We are hoping to be able to increase our rating but are not hopeful. Two pictures are attached of over-sized chairs in a small office space and the living room table with random chairs. Note the light fixture and proportions. UPDATE: No change to the rating. Although the company brought additional furniture, it's still a sea of greige with random yellow throw pillows, overstuffed furniture that makes rooms look small, and mismatched furniture styles. The entry way table does not fit the space and looks out of place. Note dated candlesticks at front door. Who would put candlesticks at the front door? More photos attached.

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

> Hi Karen - we apologize for the poor experience you had. This is certainly not the type of review we're use to receiving. We've been given favorably reviews and feedback about this particular staging project from local real estate professionals and past clients. Photos of this project can be viewed here, https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/s-tesuque-rd-reno-nevada-pj-vj~6783266.

**★★★★★ — JLJ, Aug. 2021**

> Natalia and her team did a wonderful job outfitting my listing with semi short notice during a time when supplies are sparse due to the pandemic.  The home was transformed into a modern, sophisticated, yet comfortable masterpiece.  It received a lot of positive feedback and sold quickly.

**★★★★★ — Kim Kennedy, Jan. 2021**

> The K. Donavan team was amazing. They are all very professional and responsive. They transformed one of my listings and it went under contract shortly thereafter. I would highly recommend them.

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

> Thank you Kim for the lovely review. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you and your clients.

**★★★★★ — Kris Carrick, Jan. 2021**

> Michael and his team truly do an outstanding job!  My client interviewed several other stagers and felt like K. Donavan most understood the look they were going for and best reflected their vibe.  The home was transformed into a gorgeous, inviting retreat.  We sold quickly and for top dollar!  Closing went much smoother than anticipated and they were able to accommodate our tight schedule to de-stage.  I do and will continue to HIGHLY recommend K. Donavan.  They go the extra mile for sure!

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

> Thank you Kris! We appreciate the amazing review and look forward to working with you again in the future.

**★★★★★ — Real Estate of Reno/Sparks, Sept. 2020**

> I have used Mike Silva and K. Donavan team on three properties. Very satisfied with the results. Always honest and punctual as well as being a very artistically talented person. A pleasure to deal with. Will use again and recommend to others.
> Kelly Richmond Realtor in Reno. NV.

**★★★★★ — Moira Shea, Sept. 2020**

> I love working with K. Donovan.  They are excellent at helping my clients homes standout and get top dollar offers.

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

> Thank you Moira! We appreciate the great review and the opportunity to work with you.

**★★★★★ — James Nava, Sept. 2020**

> I use K. Donavan for all of my listings to either get the home prepared with an in home staging consult or a full on stage job to prep the home for success. Their professionalism and attention to detail is second to none. Every client has been beyond impressed with their amazing consults and excellent staging. If you are looking to get your home ready to sell quick and for more money or to just get it the right way you want it, they are the people to call. Highly Recommend!!!

**Comment from K. Donavan:**

**★★★★★ — Matt Smith, Sept. 2020**

> K Donovan and Team have been Fantastic! We have recently introduced them to seller clients and could not be more pleased with their responsiveness and end product.  Both seller clients have been wowed by the results and this just makes us as realtors look good for our clients so it is a win win.  I would highly encourage anyone to work with this team!
