The Renovation Counselor: Carl Mattison on Designing Homes That Speak to You

Carl Mattison, owner of Carl Mattison Design, joins Justin to talk about what he calls being a "renovation counselor," listening first, advising second, whether the project is a small powder bath or a $10M dollar build. Carl breaks down how real estate agents can better collaborate with designers, architects, and contractors to help clients make informed decisions, why load-bearing walls and historic district rules trip up so many renovations, and how to guide clients through the emotional side of a build. He also shares his philosophy on where to splurge versus where to save, current design trends worth knowing, and why the best projects are the ones that end with a client saying, "this is my kitchen."
