She recently staged a vacant property for my clients and did a phenomenal job! She is very professional and knowledgeable and provides exceptional service. She staged the home beautifully! My clients had 60+ showings, received multiple offers significantly over asking price and sold within a couple of days. The success of the sale was directly attributed to Carolyn's staging services and my clients couldn't be happier. I highly recommend Carolyn! **★★★★★ — Terri Rosen, June 2020** > Carolyn was highly recommended by our real estate agent to stage our home and get it ready to sell. Carolyn is beyond talented and such a pleasure to work with! She took all of our eclectic treasures and decorated every room in our house beautifully. So beautifully that we received 5 competing offers and sold the house for above asking price in 2 days! I've already hired her to decorate/ stage our new home. You'll love her! **Comment from Carolyn Plummer Designs:** > Awww! Thanks Terri! You and your family were > So fun and a pleasure to work with! So happy is sold sold quickly, above asking and to the right family! You guys are the best!! **★★★★★ — Anju Jaik, May 2020** > Carolyn was simply amazing for many reasons. She is very personable and easy to work professional who knows what she is doing. We had a limited time to stage the house for photos, Carolyn worked two straight days and stayed till wee hrs in the morning to put in her final touches! The final look was beautiful - light and airy with nice pops of color! We had 2 or 3 competing offers the very first day. > Thanks once again Carolyn! **Comment from Carolyn Plummer Designs:** > Thanks SO much, Anju!! It was a pleasure to work on your gorgeous home!! So glad it sold so quickly and with competing offers! **★★★★★ — HU-59383495, Feb. 2019** > I highly recommend Carolyn Plummer Designs! I have hired Carolyn to stage many homes as well as decorate my own home. She recently helped me to renovate my first floor and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Carolyn Is fabulous with clients and shares the benefits of staging in a way that helps them to see the value of their investment. She has a great eye for accessorizing and makes sure that our listing photography really stands out. Most importantly, she has a great contractor network and always follows through on her commitments. Carolyn is truly top-notch! **★★★★★ — Sue Rupp, July 2018** > Carolyn suggested staging a home we were having trouble selling. She had coordinated updating floors/appliances/counters and paint but we still could not get that “offer” We had her stage the home as well and within 2 days had 2 offers. Carolyn handled the entire project with exceptional design, knowledge, follow up and customer service. She certainly went the extra yard on both the staging and the upgrade project! Plus she is genuinely a wonderful person! Highly recommend. **★★★★★ — Joy Daniels, May 2018** > I am in real estate and have spent hours researching home staging and home stagers and really like the work I had found that Carolyn had done. I emailed her and then the job I had originally wanted done, was sold, so I no longer needed her services. She continued to periodically reach out to me and when my next job came up, I decided to give her a chance. THANKFULLY I did! Her work is amazing. I gave her a really touch project - her staging made everyone forget about everything but the house! So I used her on another tough one. . . and again, her staging was amazing! She made a cold house feel very warm and inviting. I would recommend her to anyone that is selling their homes and want to get top dollar in the shortest amount of time. Thank you Carolyn. **★★★★★ — Brad Boyer, Dec. 2017** > I am an agent who had a house on the market where the feedback kept coming back "dated features". Carolyn came to me as a recommendation from another agent. She was quick to get back to me, anxious to tackle the project, and quickly put together a great plan for my clients that addressed the issues with an affordable budget. She will be my "go to" professional! **Comment from Carolyn Plummer Designs:** > Wow Brad, thank you! Loved working with you and your client! So happy their house sold quickly! Can’t wait for the next project! Thank you so much again! **★★★★★ — Bronwen Small, Oct. 2017** > Carolyn was so professional and easy to work with. She really understands the real estate market and what sells. She understands color and how to create beautiful spaces too! Highly recommend Carolyn Plummer Designs for staging and home design services. **★★★★★ — Liz Simcox, Sept. 2017** > I had the opportunity to work with Carolyn as I currently have my home on the market for sale. Carolyn came well prepared for our appointment with some very good cost effective and easy to implement suggestions for my home. I appreciated her supportive and no-pressure approach and adding a "second set of eyes" to our home. It was a pleasure working with Carolyn. **★★★★★ — Ann Shields, Sept. 2017** > Carolyn has an eye for color and decorating. She transforms a room and/or a home down to every last detail. While maintaining my requests, style and preferences, her work was timely, complete and innovative.
