### All 7 reviews

**★★★★★ — Brian Calderon, Sept. 2018**

> I’ve known Michele Marano many years.  She always had a great eye for home design, and helped us with many investment properties in Houston.  Michele was very conscious of what to put in the homes to increase their values while staying within certain budgets.  She did exceptional design work, from flooring up to lighting.
>
> She created a different style for each home, and buyers would come in and love the interiors.  Her paint color selections and staging of furniture and accessories always helped us sell quickly and above market value.
>
> The last property she sold for us in Houston was in a high-rise on Post Oak.  We gave her permission to do what she thought was necessary to attract a buyer.  With some changes and the perfect colors and flooring, the unit looked great when she finished.  She was able to secure a buyer in 21 days, at full market value.
>
> I would definitely recommend using Michele in both real estate and design.

**★★★★★ — Linda Farrell, Sept. 2018**

> I hired Grey Leaf Designs for decorating advice and to secure some products to get my house to look how we envisioned it. I was very happy with the result. Michelle was very professional and extremely knowledgeable.

**★★★★★ — Larry Schroder, Sept. 2018**

> I bought some gorgeous antique French doors from Michele.  She has some really cool items in her warehouse!  She is a very gifted interior designer as well. I inherited some art work and furniture from my parents and she placed it differently than I had it and it looked amazing!

**★★★★★ — Dave L, Sept. 2018**

> We hired Michele to stage and show our townhouse for rent (see the Westcross townhome under her portfolio).  She did a fantastic job of re-imagining our space, and shifting furniture around to make the property more appealing.  She thinks creatively and has an eye for detail.  We were very pleased with the outcome.

**★★★★★ — Linda Donalson, Sept. 2018**

> I hired Grey Leaf, Michele to assist with transforming a beach condo into a more coastal interior.  She visited the property with ideas and then worked from out of state. She was constantly in contact, sending paint chips, photos of furnishings and new layouts for the kitchen. Phase 1 was completed in a timely manner and now will be working with her on another project. She had great ideas for staying within my budget.

**★★★★★ — Tanna Henshaw, Sept. 2018**

> My house looks fabulous! Grey Leaf Designs used my existing decor and added great pieces to make every room spectacular. They were also very mindful and respectful of my budget. Michele keep me involved and in the loop on every decision a long the way. The experience was fun. I would definitely use her again.

**★★★★★ — Justin Kappeler, Sept. 2018**

> Michele was absolutely wonderful in all aspects of selling our home. First let me explain that the neighborhood we were selling in had multiple homes for sale, one of which was the exact same model that had been on the market for 100+ days.  Additionally, our neighbor directly across the street had been trying to sell multiple times for the previous year and a half.
> The first service and expertise that Michelle provided was a valuation of the market and options for listing our home.  To our surprise it was a little more than we anticipated especially due to my previous comments about the market.
> From there we talked about staging and getting the home ready for pictures and marketing.  Michelle brought in additional pieces of decor and had us remove unnecessary items.  The layout was unfamiliar to us but we put our trust in her and did as she suggested.  Furthermore, it was highly suggested to paint our kitchen to add to the staging.  We obliged.  The photographer came just before dawn and with Michelle looking on to ensure everything was just right and give it that extra touch the photos came out immaculate.
>
> We had multiple showing within a few days and had multiple offers within the first two weeks.  She walked us through the offers and gave advice on how to proceed.  We settled on a price above what our home appraised for the prior year and she assured us meeting that number with the appraiser wouldn’t be a proublem due to her reading the market.
> She was more than hands on as far as working through repairs the buyer was suggesting and never was too busy for any comment.
> Due to us relocating out of state and working through a faulty pump system in the pool, the algae overran and I was unable to shock and clean.  She went way over what was expected and even came to help clean the pool so as to please the new buyer.  That is just a small sample of the lengths Michelle is willing to go to ensure every detail is perfect and everyone is satisfied.
