Spoke with owner who asked a couple of questions about what we wanted and said to send her the address. I did and she never responded. I reached back out a couple of days later via text and she still didn't respond.

I have met with Karla several times for pre planning on a cabin Reno. Karla is so easy to work with. She reads her clients well and adjusts her decision making based on our wishes rather than a pre conceived idea. I look forward to working with her.
