How long have you worked with Jim and the RDS Team?
I have worked with Jim for a long time. Residential Designed Solutions designed our personal residence in 1998 drawn on a restaurant napkin. My wife Cheryl and I had walked into a stunning home overlooking the mountains in Paradise Valley, Arizona, while on a trip out west. Cheryl immediately drew the floor plan of the home, and we took her sketches to Jim. He designed our home from these sketches and subsequent conversations. I’ve been working with Jim since.
Jim works with a large percentage of builders in Central Ohio. I send Jim clients if they don’t already have a builder or specific design idea in mind. In addition, when we receive home plans for the architectural review boards in the developments I manage, and if the client’s plans are not acceptable to the ARB, I suggest that they sit down with Jim and have him create the needed changes to the exterior (which is usually where issues arise) and bring life to the home.
Jim never seems to get rattled. He’s the nicest guy and the type of person you want to work with. I’m in his fan club!
What type of projects does Jim complete for your clients?
Jim’s undeniable success is his ability to spend quality time with clients that are looking to build a beautiful home and walking them through the process of designing what they want in that home.
Not everybody comes to our developments with a builder, especially if they are from out of town. I provide them a list of builders, architects, and home designers we work with, and always included at the top of the list is Residential Designed Solutions. I always recommend clients take the time to call at least three builders, architects, or designers to find the perfect fit.
What do you find RDS does differently than other designers?
The attention to detail, but beyond that, what sets Jim apart is his ability to listen to the client and get the client to articulate what’s important to them. His gift is to see, hear and understand what clients describe and to produce that vision on paper. From my own personal experience, he was able to hear our story, use our sketches and create the vision for our home. His talent for designing incredible homes never ceases to amaze me.
What services do you appreciate that RDS provides?
I have worked with Jim for so long–as have many of the builders I work with. This long-term relationship provides us with amazing response time, expectations met and exceeded, and incredible designs. Jim knows what we’re looking for and provides the right sense of style for each home in the development. He understands our expectations and our needs.
How is your overall experience when working with RDS?
Jim has set the tone for the entire RDS team, and the quality of the experience is nothing short of outstanding. His team is professional, responsive, and candid about expected time frames, so they are not overselling and underdelivering. I always know I’m getting unparalleled service with Residential Designed Solutions.
