It can get confusing or intimidating when thinking of hiring a professional interior designer. You might be concerned about the process of working with a designer as well as the costs of doing so. Ever bought couch or table that looked great in the store, but was too big once you got it home? Ever painted three or four times trying to find the right color palette? It may seem counter-intuitive because you’re going to have to pay an additional designer’s fee, but the truth is that hiring a designer can help you avoid costly mistakes and help you make design decisions that will increase the value of your space. Hiring a professional is a smart decision if you’ve invested a good bit of money into your home and want to be able to showcase it to look its best. Decorators truly serve a purpose for everyone. Whether you have no idea where or how to begin to decorate your home, or you simply haven’t the time to execute your style and desires due to your busy day to day schedule. In this episode I get the chance to speak with Tracie Lambert, a professional interior designer and stager. We begin to remove intimidating factors if you’re thinking about beginning a project. We talk about how to get the design process started, overcoming obstacles and cover how to make the vision for your dream home a reality.

I was really excited to get this interview to share with all Dream Home Hunters. How does the custom build process for your dream home start? I talk with Brad Leavitt from AFT Construction out of Scottsdale Arizona. Brad is the Founder and President. AFT Construction is an award winning custom home builder in Scottsdale AZ. Brad has built an amazing team that can do everything from a 1500 sf custom home to 20,000+ sf dream homes (we talk about one of that type they are beginning soon. Full sized tennis court, trampoline barn and more). He and his team are multi-year Houzz Design award winners. In addition to running his business he hosts a successful podcast and YouTube channel as well. I was lucky enough to catch up with Brad for an interview where we talk about how the custom dream home design process works, overcoming challenges (what do you do when a contractor makes a change to the custom plans that results in the roof being 3 feet above State regulations?) so you can still over-deliver on client expectations. We also talk about one of his favourite places to eat Steak 44. Brad is a great guy and fun to interview. I hope you enjoy this inside look into how the dream home process begins with a top luxury builder.
