"Hi Rick. I saw the home yesterday afternoon shortly after you left - it looks amazing!! The seller's love it,and I do too! I can't wait to get new and former agents who have shown or previewed, to see the transformation in the house for our upcoming caravan. Thanks again for all your help, and especially your quick response time with a complete make-over!"

"Hello Rick. I am writing to tell you what an enormous help your consultation was. I took the pages of notes, transformed my house, and had a contract three weeks after it was listed.

Not only did you guide me to a fast sale of my home, you gave me new goals. The work was not easy. Understanding what I was trying to accomplish with Home Staging involved an enormous amount of thinking and learning - things I really enjoy doing. Implementing the changes was hard but satisfying work.

I am so excited about Home Staging, that I am now taking a certification course. In a few months, when I finish working at my current job and retire to Western North Carolina, I plan to make Home Staging my next career. I also plan to contact Homes Designed To Sell about your Associate program.

Thank you so much for the guidance that led to a fast sale and for showing me a future that will be full of challenges, accomplishments, and (not at all a bad thing) income." Nacy L.

"Rick, Thanks so much.  Your feedback was just what we were looking for, now we just have to do it!  Marie, the Realtor you referred us to, was great yesterday. We were very impressed with her ideas and look forward to getting our house sold. We feel we have finally met the folks we needed to meet to make that happen. We will be in touch."  Bradley & Kathy

"My vacant townhouse had been on the market for over 2 years. I kept listing it with different agents hoping it would sell and we were getting fewer and fewer showings. I called Homes Designed To Sell and they were able to create a model home environment very quickly and low and behold, it SOLD in six weeks at 98% of full asking price" Jena H. Smyrna, GA, Home Owner

"505 Waldo Street went to binding agreement on the purchase in 19 days! This house had been on the market for 6 months before Homes Designed To Sell staged and helped us design to sell it in Atlanta, we close in 4 weeks and my investor is thrilled!" Joan M., Bo Bridgeport, Realtor

"Under contract for full asking price in 48 hours...and we thought it would take longer to sell in this market. Home Designed To Sell, you are remarkable, Tracy M., Urban Dwell, Investor

“I just listed a townhouse in Vinings that had been on the market for over 90 days with another Realtor. Two days after Homes Designed To Sell did their consultation, the sellers did 80% of what was recommended and we received an offer with the first showing! That is a result that keeps me doing business with Homes Designed To Sell on a regular basis.”

"My home just went under contract in 13 days and for 97% of asking price. The typical townhome in my neighborhood takes over 6 months to sell and seldomly sells this close to asking price. My wife and I hired you all to tell us what needed doing. When sellers have a home on the market and have not hired Homes Designed To Sell Fast, they are leaving money on the table! John J. - Keller Williams Realty Cityside, Realtor              

 " Fantastic! Fabulous! What a remarkable improvement!My seller and I want to sincerely thank you for accomplishing so much hard work in such little time, and for such a reasonable investment. I've used other home staging firms in my past 15 years of real estate but you all are by far the best. I could have not shown the home in the condition it was in and I was anxious to get the listing into MLS/FMLS. As a team, we quickly assessed what art, furnishings, and accessories could be more effectively used and the home now looks fully furnished, is brighter, roomier, and shows magificently! The seller only ended up purchasing 6 chairs at Target for the terrace. The team Rick brought in were experienced, polite and professional and very talented and of course, Rick's great eye made it all possible."  Elaine H., Harry Norman Realtors, Realtor

 “Hi!  I wanted to quickly pass along Rick Duda's name to everyone.  I had a
little condo that had a hard time selling due to lack of space.  He came in
a week ago Thursday and made the place look more spacious and 100% better.
We got an offer over the weekend and under contract on Monday for $1,000 more than the asking price!.  If your listings are cramped or in need of style adjustment I strongly suggest you give him a call.  He has very reasonable rates for a two hour consultation and he offers much more.”  Drena H.
