Testimonials

 

Arthur reorganized our house with a touch of genius for its public viewing. His eye for presentation continues to make the house feel open and harmonious.

The proof is, of course, in the final price and the speed with which the transaction took place. You and your team were amazing. The job was done in five days and the price came in beyond our expectations. With Arthur's eye and hand in the background, you created an atmosphere of professionalism which made us comfortable and confident; and more important, provided the same to our buyers.

We thank you for all your talent and knowledge.

Arthur always comes up with solutions that I never even knew were possible. He is a designer that can pull things together faster and better than anyone else. He is very versatile and will follow your taste to a T, he can do anything! I have referred him to my very high end clients and everyone is always so surprised that such a person, as he, exists.

"I previewed the Staging at West Shore yesterday; it is lovely, and enhances the house in just the right way. Our appreciation to your team for the artistic and most appropriate selections of furnishings and décor the home. The profusion of live plants also adds to the appeal both inside and out."

Diane Christensen


"We had an offer after the first day of showing our house. I loved the way you presented our home and the design approach. It was strong and engaging, and, addressed both the masculine and the feminine perspectives in a dramatic way. Thank you!"

"The showing of the house on Tuesday brought several comments and a special note from the General Manager of Evan-Pacific: 'Wow! Chestnut Street, great house, great look. Going to put it at the top of the list.'"

"I cannot express how pleased Liz and I were with your work. It was both skilled and professional. We also appreciate that you fit us into a tight time frame. Again, thanks for working with us and doing such a great job!"

"My new house is spectacular! Thank you so much for your excellent advice. Everything that I kept from the Clay Street house looks fantastic here. I am so glad that I followed my instincts and that you confirmed them. Come and visit if you are in the neighborhood or even if you are not."

...We would have to single out Arthur McLaughlin...we ended up being thrilled with the results of his work, and subsequently, the sale price.

"I wanted to let you know that Kristine and I were very pleased with all the work you did preparing our home for its debut in the real estate marketplace. As you know, we have lived here for 22 years (it is amazing how much you can accumulate in 22 years!) so we were pretty well set in our ways as to the way the place should look. We anticipated some change, but overall, really didn't know what to expect after you came in and took notes.

Needless to say, we were amazed at the transformation (and so apparently, were the potential buyers). Your vision of maximum light, minimum clutter and unforgiving cleanliness throughout made a dramatic difference in the quality of offers we received.

We extend a very genuine 'thank you' for all the enthusiasm and zeal you put into helping our home realize its potential. We wish you continued success in bringing your "McLaughlin Magic" to other properties around the Bay Area."

"Thank you so much for the time, effort and imagination you put into our flats at 1828-30 Leavenworth. Both are now rented and looking great. As always, you are our first choice to make homes look their best."
