Building Homes – and Relationships

When people work with Mark Schwartz & Associates, after a while they begin to realize that all of the project threads and pieces, the many aspects of bringing an idea to life, the meetings and sketches and plans, the necessary paperwork and practical matters of working with the Town and meeting myriad requirements, and all of the revisions and surprises that crop up in the process — everything, really — can be traced back to our primary directive, which is ultimately to give our clients exactly what they want, even if that means helping them figure out what that is along the way.

“We respect and appreciate that clients usually have a very definite sense of what they want, and what they’re comfortable with,” says Mark Schwartz. “It’s our responsibility to draw from our experience to provide guidance and, sometimes, alternative approaches that will still get our clients where they really want to go. Sometimes we open their eyes to new possibilities that they hadn’t considered, and either way, in the final product, we make sure to realize not only the right look, but also the feeling our clients are trying to achieve for their home.”

In the end we gauge our success not by way of a spreadsheet, but instead by the new relationships we’ve made with our clients, and the look on their faces when they walk through and move into their new spaces. That’s why we do what we do.
