from Tract to Triumph
A Consultation Success Story
One of the ways in which Linda works with clients in her business is through consultations, and she is often asked how much can really be accomplished in just one or two meetings. Of course, every client and project is different, but we'd like to show you what can be achieved when everything clicks and there is true collaboration and a lot of hard work on everyone's part. The following transformation took place over a period of four months, with just two meetings between Linda and her clients.
The Challenge
It was a 1973 tract home in Foster City, California - the country's first planned community. Kathy Gallo and John Podesta bought the home in 1992 and over the past nine years have remodeled virtually every inch of the living space, including the 55' waterfront deck in the backyard. Their goal was to give the home's exterior the same WOW factor that you experienced when you walked inside. They had seen Linda on HGTV and called her for a consultation.
