Houzz has a big problem - deliveries. 2 separate orders arrived damaged. They also arrived very late - delaying my project and costing me money. They refunded for one damaged vanity - but not another. To add insult to injury - I found both exact same products (and I mean, exact - same packaging, same brand) - locally, for substantially less. Not to mention the delivery was professional and with no damage - unlike Houzz. Stay away - you can do better.
We've marketed many ways; print ads, editorials, published works. But we haven't ever seen the return on investment that we've seen with Houzz. Half or slightly more than half of our clients contact us after seeing us on Houzz. Houzz works hard for its Pro's, providing an easy platform for potential clients to navigate.
As I said in the Title, effort, and money well spent!
We joined Houzz Pro three years ago and cannot say enough about this company. They have certainly worked hard to cover all the basis in regards to advertising. We have been in business for 25 years and by far Houzz Pro is the best form of advertising we have partnered with.
Houzz Pro did/done Motivator me which is excellence because it seems impossible until it's was done.
Brian was super helpful and genuinely wanted to help me get my houzz page the best that it could be. Super thankful to have him on "my team"!
We had our first meeting it went well I am setting up my profile and on my way thank you houzz I'm looking forward to see how my business grows and how it all works
Crystal never stops coming up with ways to make my business shine... and she takes the time to know me and my business personally!
As a designer, we are constantly creating mood boards, furniture, fixture & finishing schedules. I love how Houzz has this special tool to clip images online and smartly save the description, colour, price onto your product library. The software is very comprehensive and user friendly. It is an all-in-one tool! Clients can see all corresponding emails, attachments, mood boards, invoice status all in their dashboard. I would highly recommend this software to anyone in the industry. It really helped me organize my business.
The support staff at Houzz are all amazing and very helpful!
As the old saying goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words." As a professional home designer for over 34 years, Houzz has become one of my go-to tools not only for showcasing my projects, advertising, and attracting new business but as one of my primary tools for helping my clients convey their ideas and concepts. Having my clients share their collection of inspirational photos allows me to better understand the design style and features they are after. And now with all of the new Pro features, such as tracking metrics and potential leads, aside from word-of-mouth referrals, Houzz has become my number one source of new business. And the service I receive from my Houzz rep Ashlee P is top-notch. Thank you, Houzz! I look forward to all of the new features and improvements ahead.
Houzz provides a comprehensive and user friendly program to help with the organization of running a construction business with ease.
Houzz Pro has been an incredible help to my business. They send qualified leads, place me in front of thousands of people in my area seeking interior design help, assist in the running and management of my business with specialized software, and provide outstanding customer service support.
He drew the plans for our retirement home. Our builder said they were the best he had ever seen. Mr. Bartolini helped us in so many other ways. A good human with great skills. Thank you.
I've been with Houzz for quite a while, and it is a fantastic platform that filled a need for professionals and for consumers...
Thank you Enrique for describing how the houzz platform works with all the features of keeping track of everything that is needed for a business
We've had such a great experience working with Kris K on Houzz. It's been a learning curve with understanding the in's and out's of Houzz's functionalities and he has been a reliable and pleasant partner every step of the way. We're looking forward to continuing to partner with him and Houzz for our business.
I have had a professional profile with Houzz for over 6 years now and have received a lot of benefits from leads to the free website. My volume of leads have not always been consistent, but they're generally a better quality than more generic home-improvement lead services. When Houzz acquired Ivy I was very excited about all of the project management tools. I'm sorry to say it has been a bit of a disaster. The integration is so buggy and the tool itself is missing so many essential elements (like the ability to log project notes?), that I had to completely backtrack and drop using it almost all together. That definitely cost me time and the confidence of a few of my clients.
Thanks Brian for being extremely informative and welcoming me to the program. I appreciate the introduction and look forward to working with houzz.
Houzz has great reports on trends, and loads of inspiration which allows me to easily search on a particular room, or style. My Client Rep, Haley, is the best and helps me navigate the offerings Houzz has to offer!
Love the educational tips for the pro's and their experiences.
Houzz Pro is a comprehensive platform. It's the most in-depth platform available. The personal support is also the best we've experienced. We've been extremely happy.
Houzz Pro has been a good way to connect with new clients. My business is referral based so I work for friends of friends, which is great but Houzz Pro has allowed me to create new rings in the water and my Success manager Ati has been a delightful and supportive partner in creating my online profile and communicate adjustments to the new website I got through the program. The Houzz website template has made a needed update to my website quick and painless. It is easy to add new projects and make modifications, so that has been an extra bonus.
Answer: Good question Maggie. I don't think there is. I think this site is just there to help their vendor and not assist consumers in making informed decisions. I found had a contractor who had defrauded us and changed his business name on Houzz. I posted a review on his profile notifying the public of what he had done to us, and Houzz did not publish the review. I joined Sitejabber to warn the public about Houzz.
Answer: I began as a Pro on Houzz and spent $2000 on Advertising. This was supposedly for a year of top exposure. No one purchased, the couple of calls I received were people wanting to USE my service for ideas. I have since discontinued complimentary initial appointments. These people are the biggest scammers in the world! I'm still one of the Pros just to see if anything bites but I noticed they go into vendors photos and try to find similar product then they sell their products. Great way to sway your client and to steal customers!
Answer: Go straight to the top at Houzz. Ms. Adi Tatarko, CEO, Alon Cohen, Pres. If tha doesn't work, I suggest you file complaint with the Consumer Affairs Division of the California Attorney General's Office.
Answer: The Pros, at least at the beginning, were not in competition with this company (Houzz). They convinced the "Designer" world that the were strictly collecting ideas for the public and to help improve the vendors chances of being hired. Those reviews on the Pros are about the Pros, they come from their clients. About 2-3 years ago, Houzz began selling out from under all the vendors! They are SO low they have gone into the photos of the pros, look for a product they have that might be similar to something they sell and lead them away from the pro. The 1-2 stars you see here are the reviews for "Houzz" and their service but the reviews under a Pro are for that Pro. Don't be fooled... If you want the job done right, call the Pro! Listen to these reviews of Houzz and you won't get burned. Two different animals completely!
Answer: Steer clear. The advertising doesn't work, and although they originally started up as a company that would work alongside the vendors, they are now selling out from under most of them, especially the interiors decorators! They are SO low they have actually tagged products inside some of the photos of interior designers and tabbed out similar products to stay the customer away from the Pro and to purchase through them directly!
Answer: Do yourself a huge favor and find it somewhere else. Houzz contracts with third party sellers and their freight companies, they're just a middle man. What a nightmare this has been.
