When my husband and I decided to down size from our roomy family home to a condominium, Brenda Shute and her amazing team came to our rescue. We had rooms, closets, cabinets, drawers and a garage full of items that would not be down-sizing with us – so Brenda held an Estate Sale…organizing, pricing, advertising and selling a house full of “stuff”. Brenda’s positive attitude and professionalism carried us through this emotional move and provided us with A Fresh New Look!

I have worked with Brenda for probably the last 8 years and have never been disappointed. She always exceeds mine and my client’s expectations. The best way to work with her is to just let her “roll” and do her thing! What I so appreciate is that her services so free up my time – she does not need to be baby sat. Whether she is staging one of my listings for the market or conducting an estate sale for a listing, she and her team accomplish their task with extreme professionalism and respect for myself and my clients. They are experienced and professional from start to finish. I could not recommend a better person for the job. She is a huge benefit for me and one I can rely on for results.

Brenda is a master of her craft. I have confidently recommended Brenda to many of my clients, both Sellers and Buyers and they have been thrilled with the results of her work. Brenda has a wonderful eye for staging a home perfectly for selling. The most recent clients of mine she helped realized more money for their home than they would have if she had not come in and performed her magic. She used all of their existing furnishings and the home had a total metamorphosis. It sold within the first week! She also is adept at helping owners downsize their homes and then perfectly setting them up in their new home. She provides great value, is personable and one enjoys working with her!

When my father sold the large family home and down-sized to a condominium, I called Brenda to consult and facilitate what would go with him. She made on site trips to assess and measure so we were able to plan with the movers. She offered creative ideas to incorporate his favorite things to the new layout and maximized storage in the kitchen and closets - including unpacking and set up! Her team worked hard to set up Dad's new residence and make it a home. All this was with great sensitivity, enthusiasm and charm!

My wife and I worked very closely with Brenda Shute to get our home ready for listing. In a matter of weeks, we completely made-over our home following Brenda's suggestions and hints. The home listed, and we received multiple offers over the asking price. We sold our home within the first week.
Brenda brings an infectious enthusiasm, coupled with a determined professionalism to the job. She wears many hats simultaneously, camp counselor, drill sergeant, interior decorator, vendor/contractor relationship manager, and construction foreman while communicating the overall end result requirements with the home owners. She is superb to work with, and a joy to know.
In this era when very few things deliver the anticipated value for the investment made, Brenda is a remarkable exception, delivering more than anticipated, and at a higher value than what was bargained for.

Brenda adds to the joy and ease of marketing real estate with her great talent, enthusiasm and wonderful can-do spirit! She is loaded with ideas, and can transform a house to magazine-ready in a remarkably short period of time. She is a complete pleasure to work with for both me and my clients. There can’t be anyone better!

Brenda was incredibly efficient in her efforts to sweep though our home and rearrange our furniture and accessories. We were amazed with her on the spot creativity and her speed of work. We enjoyed the work Brenda provided at our old home so very much that we immediately got on her schedule to help us manage our transition to the new home. Brenda did a walk through of the new home and prepared a plan that involved specifics as to where movers should place furniture upon moving day. By the end of day of our move Brenda had every major piece of furniture in place through her direction of the moving staff. I am preparing for a future appointment with Brenda where she can once work her magic once again!

Brenda was an absolute joy to work with. Not only did she give us great ideas, she shopped and delivered the needed items and assisted in coordinating the work. When she was through the house looked so great we almost hated to list it. We asked her to position our house for a quick sale while still bringing full market price. The first looker gave us a contract the next day for full list price. She did exactly what we asked her to do and we REALLY appreciated it!

I am writing to recommend Brenda Shute's wonderful ability to make a room fresh and interesting again! She arrived at my home and within three hours had my master bedroom looking fabulous. She has made such a difference in my home.

Thank you so much for the great job. You brought life and flare to This Old House. You have a true gift and it was fun and therapeutic!
---Arthur Berwald- North Dallas
You won't believe this...they received a contract on the house the day after you staged the home. You did a GREAT job! You are on my referral list. Thank so much for all your hard work and stunning results!

If you are looking for professional assistance in preparing a home for market or creating a new look, I would highly recommend Brenda Shute. She is a wonder woman! Recently, she spent one day with one of my homeowners. In that time they re-did the living room, dining room, kitchen, den, sunroom and four bedrooms. I was amazed when I saw the transformation! Best of all, the home sold within 30 days very close to it's list price.

I just cannot tell you how very very much I love what you did to my game and sitting room. Now the greatest thing...my husband was sooooooo impressed. He said, "I don't think I've ever seen anything like this....using things that we would consider cast-offs!" Not only do you do a wonderful job of pulling things together, but we had fun at the same time!
---Nancy F.- University Park in Dallas
The house looks great! The homeowner got stuck out of town on business because of the weather and has not seen the improvements yet. I did tell him he would not recognize the place. Great Job!
---Valerie Neely, Virginia Cook Realtors- North Dallas
Thanks again for everything. I had a lot of fun. I am so excited about the changes we made and cannot wait to get started on my "list". Actually, the process has begun. You will be sure and get a call from me whenever I move to my "bigger grown-up" house. More spaces, more questions!
---Rachel Tyler- Plano, Texas
Thanks for the fluffing and picture hanging. It looks great and it would never have gotten done without you!
