Amy Jo Vesely

We have worked with Dan several times now on staging projects ranging in price - at all levels he has been the utmost in professionalism and skill. He has been accommodating and pleasant throughout the staging process from consultation to set up to removal. I would highly recommend Dan for any staging needs.

I cannot recommend Daniel Houde and his team highly enough. Daniel is a true professional and his work is simply outstanding -- and that is why he quickly became my team's "go-to" stager. Other real estate agents regularly reach out to me for his contact info because they are so impressed with his work. And, I can honestly say that he plays a major role in helping to get our listings sold (and at a top dollar price)! Thank you thank you thank you!

Dan is a talented designer/ decorator. He is a pleasure to work with and listens well. What we appreciate is that he incorporates furniture and or art or accessories you already own with new items he adds. His designs are both clean and uncluttered. He has great taste combining neutral colors with interesting contrast. He makes your space look new and fresh. He spends money wisely looking for sales and discounts. We love what he did in our house and would highly recommend him and his work.

We worked with Dan on a bathroom and are thrilled with the results. One thing I especially appreciated is how Dan spends our money as if it was his own -- points out alternatives when he feels there are other options to accomplish the same result for less. Having one point person coordinating it all makes a project run so smoothly. We will be using Dan for other projects and would recommend him.

Dan knew instantly the look and feel that would really connect a buyer to this home. His team came in and transformed an empty house into an inviting an modern home. Outstanding!

Thanks to Daniel Houde's design company My listings that he has stage sell quickly & for the highest possible price that the market will support. Dan comes over to the property that I will be putting on market. We walks through & he shares his ideas with myself & the home owner as he is taking pictures. Then almost like magic the home is stage to perfection. No matter what the size of the home large or small it will be staged to show to its highest functional use & be very beautiful!

I could not have a more positive review of Daniel H. Houde Design. Dan, and his colleague, Don, are pleasant and professional, and have impeccable taste! We were selling my Mom's house, and knew that we had to stage multiple rooms to attract the right buyer. It was a bit of a challenge, given that it was an older home, built in 1910, and had wood paneling in some of the rooms. After doing a walk-through with Dan, we exchanged some design ideas, and came up with a plan. We were fine with just letting him choose the color schemes, the types of furniture for each room, and the layout. The furniture/artwork showed very well in pictures, which is key for sites like Zillow, etc. Dan and Don were very quick to respond to our messages, which was a huge relief, since we were managing the sale from 1,000 miles away! Thanks to this staging company, we were able to sell our childhood home in Needham, which has been in our family for over 45 years.

Dan is first class all the way! His design ideas are terrific, he listens and then puts ideas into action. He has so many wonderful professionals to help do anything you need: design window coverings, attach statuary to walls, tile, move large pieces.. the list is endless! I have used Daniel Houde Design to stage some of my multi-million dollar listings as well as to help clients redesign their own homes. He never disappoints and he is a consummate professional anyone would be pleased to work with. The results are always more than you expect!

I highly recommend Dan and his team. They did an amazing job staging a home for my client. The house was transformed and the attention to detail was amazing....right out of a magazine! They were professional, creative, responsible and really cared about our goal to sell the house. Even helped with some tricky exterior features. Can't wait to use Dan again!

I hired Dan Houde and his assistant to stage my home prior to listing it for sale. He came through the house - and composed a complete outline of proposed work and suggestions all free of charge. I was impressed with his thoroughness and vision and decided to proceed with hiring his team. He was generous with his time & resources and very considerate of our needs (working around the schedule of a 10-month-old!). He took care of everything -- putting away items/furniture that wouldn't be needed, orchestrating the disposal of equipment we no longer wanted, and crafting a setup that would look exquisite in photos while blending our existing aesthetic to a more polished one. The result-- an offer to purchase at the first open house. I've never heard of a home moving more quickly. I was impressed by Dan's work- to be sure- but beyond that, he was a pleasure to work with and cognizant of the various realities of our life (including operating on a truncated timetable). I would certainly recommend Dan to others seeking assistance staging or otherwise crafting an aesthetic that's appealing and livable.

My family owned a house in a rural town, so we knew that we would have to make the house stand out if we'd want to sell it. We contacted various stagers before deciding to go with Dan -- he had the most reasonable price and his designs spoke for themselves. After the staging, it was very clear that Dan has a gift for design -- all potential buyers were awed and we received an offer in the first week! Honestly very grateful for Dan's efficiency, how easy he was to work with, and how beautiful the house came out! It made the otherwise stressful process of selling a home that much easier. I'd absolutely recommend!!

I've worked with Dan on numerous projects over the years and have always been impressed with his creativity and ability to solve design problems. It's tough to find someone who has a vision, is decisive, and can get things done. He has an amazing ability to juggle a lot of projects and work with crazy deadlines. And he is very enjoyable to work with!
