Their team elevated the impact of many of my sellers’ properties. From cosmetic improvement advice and designs, to effective staging and marketing, their work resulted in very low days on market, multiple offers and many properties selling for well above asking price!" ‍★★★★★‍ “I have worked with the Shepherd Sterling real estate concierge team on several occasions and I've never been disappointed. Their standard of work is very high. The quality of staging, speedy execution, attention to detail, and quick response rate are hallmarks of their excellent customer service. They truly elevate my listings and reduce the days on market. I look forward to working with them each time!”‍★★★★★‍ "As a homeowner and real estate investor, I have worked with a number of staging companies over the years, and I have to say that I have been completely blown away by Shepherd Sterling and their quality of work. They recently staged and marketed my personal home and went above and beyond with flawless execution. The entire team was such a pleasure to work with and very responsive. If you have a chance to work with Shepherd Sterling, jump on it - I could not recommend them enough."‍★★★★★‍ "We worked with Shepherd Sterling to redesign our bathroom. They did a phenomenal job of factoring our likes/dislikes, and advising on practical considerations we hadn't thought of. Additionally, they were very resourceful, in the face of unexpected challenges, particularly around shipping delays and sourcing issues. In the end, our bathroom design is beyond anything we could've thought of ourselves, while also being practical for our day-to-day lives. We are constantly getting compliments on it and are very happy with the end result. We look forward to working with them again for future projects."‍★★★★★‍

Shepherd Sterling transformed our combined living room and dining room into a stunning space fit for entertaining and relaxation. We were looking for a fresh, modern but warm look that blended into the architecture of our home, and they exceeded our expectations. Cherisse and her team carefully considered our preferences, focusing on tastefully incorporating pops of color, and maximizing our space. What impressed us most was their skill in integrating a challenging piece, a chest of drawers we already owned, seamlessly into the design. Working with Shepherd Sterling was a pleasure from start to finish. Their attention to detail, creativity, and ability to bring our vision to life is commendable. They checked in with us as our pieces arrived to make sure we were happy with the end result. We highly recommend their services and couldn't be happier with the outcome! We hope to have them help with other areas of our house down the road.

I approached Shepherd Sterling to help me with my home in Canada. I needed someone who could integrate my home’s architecture with my design style and figure out how to create more opportunity for entertaining. Cherisse was patient, detailed and incredibly attentive during the entire process. We immediately connected when she was able to see and articulate my vision so clearly and used her expertise to create a cohesive look in line with my style. I highly recommend Shepherd Sterling to anyone looking for expert design advice and an efficient, enjoyable experience. Thank you for helping me make my vision a reality!

I had the absolute pleasure of working with the Shepherd Sterling team for a complete overhaul of my living space. I approached them with a vision for a modern, minimalist, and cohesive look - and they exceeded my expectations. From the get-go, their keen understanding of my style was apparent. They took my abstract ideas and translated them into a tangible design that not only represented my aesthetic but also introduced me to new ideas that I hadn't considered. The furniture they sourced was not only beautiful and high-quality but also perfectly suited to the overall design. What sets Shepherd Sterling apart is their ability to build something beautiful and cohesive. They seamlessly blended colors, textures, and styles to create a space that truly feels like me. Since the redesign, I've received countless compliments on my apartment decor and style, a testament to their meticulous work and creativity. But what impressed me most was their professionalism and personal touch. They made the design process not just stress-free, but also exciting. It felt like a collaborative journey, and the result is a living space that I absolutely adore. If you're seeking an interior designer, I cannot recommend Shepherd Sterling enough. Their understanding of design and commitment to their clients is truly unparalleled. They’ve shown me that everyone should invest in a space that makes them happy - and with Shepherd Sterling, you're sure to get just that.

We had the pleasure of working with Cherisse and Shepherd Sterling recently. They helped us design our living room and dining room. What made our project unique is that we really wanted to showcase our existing art and incorporate some of our current furniture and tie it all together in a cohesive way. Before, every designer we talked to just wanted to give us a cookie cutter design and just didn’t listen to our needs until I met Shepherd Sterling. They took the time to really understand our style, our needs, our budget and gave us exactly what we wanted and worked incredibly fast. The end result is gorgeous, functional and very personal to us. We loved getting the expert design guidance and she was amazing at explaining her design strategy and really listening to our feedback. I absolutely love our new space, loved the whole experience and would highly recommend Shepherd Sterling for your design needs.

Cherisse is an extremely talented designer and her imagination, creativity and attention to detail was a very big help. She is professional, resourceful, trustworthy, and easy to work with. Her customer service and communication is first-rate. Her services and creativity have been instrumental in achieving our dream home. She essentially helped design every room in our whole house. Keeping our budget in mind, she helped hone in on our style and picked out the perfect furniture, art, and accessories. All the while, really listening to us to construct a vision and collaborate on ideas. We are beyond thrilled with the results.
