Testimonials
Here is what our clients have to say:
One of the BEST decisions I ever made was making the phone call to ask Shawn if she’d be interested in working with a builder that she’d never worked with to do interior design for our dream home. This snowballed into several subsequent projects for us, all of which have resulted in amazing finished projects! Not only is her interior design THE BEST, her attention to detail & professionalism has made the buying and selling of existing homes easy peesy for my kids. I cannot say enough great things about Shawn, both professionally and personally!

These are literally the most talented designers I have EVER met! My house was a single guy’s disaster before meeting Shawn and Michele and although my 5 bedroom 4 bath house built in 1994 is still a work in progress, their vision has been stunning! From the rounded corners that accent my ceilings to the colors that match my lifestyle and personality, I couldn’t imagine working with anyone else! Can’t wait to continue our collaboration together! Thank you SO much for making my house truly a home!

I want to take a moment to thank you for being my agent. Your attention to detail every step of the way resulted in the incredibly fast sale of my home! (One month!!!) Your advice on what price to list my home, your careful staging of each room, the pics you took of each room showing its best characteristics, your sending me the weekly result charts of hits (online) on my property, the inclusion of my home on the cable tv site, on the Company website, in the World Herald and online, your constant contact with each real estate agents who showed my home for feedback, your assistance in negotiating the sale price of the home and the final details of the sale, all resulted in the sale of my property in what I feel is record time!!
Also, Shawn, thank you for explaining each step of the selling and closing process and the details of what each page I signed meant. Rest assured, I am singing your praises & recommending you to everyone interested in listing and selling their property. You are the VERY BEST!!!!”
Finding a home in the Omaha metro region is a daunting task, especially for out-of-staters like my wife Mollie and I, who also had a limited time frame in order to do so. With so many options, it was invaluable having an expert on the regional market and neighborhoods to assist in such an endeavor and focus our search.
Working with Shawn as our realtor was not only integral to our success in finding a great home, but also enjoyable and stress-free. Shawn’s knowledge of the regional housing market, her extensive knowledge of home construction, her attention to detail, and her attention to our wants and needs as first time home buyers are attributes that Shawn brought to the table for our home search. These attributes proved to be the precise recipe for us to find a home that left us feeling not only confident, but also excited about our final home choice. If we had to do it again, there is no doubt in our minds that Shawn would be our guide.
Michele Hybner has been so wonderful to work with! She “gets me” and therefore knows exactly what I’ll like – now and for years to come! She took my house and transformed it into something that I’m so in love with! I only wish I had known her when we built this house 5 years ago! She is super easy to work with, gives great options and values your input as well. I am excited to work on more projects together and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is the 4th interior designer that I have worked with and is SO much better than the rest.

Shawn clearly understood my needs & wishes. She far exceeded my expectations in finding the perfect home for me. I have tremendous appreciation for Shawn as her passion to do the right thing comes through time after time. Thank you for providing me with an extraordinary experience; I am so happy in my home!
We listed our home with Shawn and she sold it in 6 days and got a full price offer! She was very knowledgeable, resourceful and reliable and got us the results we wanted. It was clear that she valued our time and investment and did a wonderful job selling our home and finding us a new home that we are delighted with. Shawn gives meaning to her promise of customer for life. Through her words, actions, friendly and caring attitude, and ability to get the job done right; she made a huge transition in our lives easy. All in all, the entire experience has been a pleasure.
Michele Hybner from Foundry Home has helped us transform our main level of a 1990’s two story home w/ sectioned off spaces to an incredibly open floor plan, w/ natural colors & modern classic feel! Michele’s ability to identify our style, yet provide many different design ideas helped combine existing features such as family church stained-glass windows with modern flair! Her knowledge & ability to work with contractors was incredibly valuable throughout the remodel process. The end result is an open, warm inviting space for enjoying w/family & friends!
My wife & I engaged FH after seeing the results on other projects they had completed in the Omaha area & were very excited that they agreed to take on our basement finish. We could not be happier w/ the end result & have received rave reviews on how well it turned out. FH was w/ us every step of the way. Their due diligence in understanding us, our likes, our dislikes, our “must haves” was amazing. They incorporated this knowledge along w/ many creative suggestions that built upon the vision we had & made it much better.
We have gone through several relocations in the past and have worked with several realtors; purchasing a home in Omaha with Shawn Hovey as our realtor has been by far the best experience we have had. Her ability to understand our needs and preferences made the process of finding a home a very pleasant experience. Shawn was able to help us find the home we wanted and the community we were looking for in a matter of days. Shawn always conducted herself in a highly professional, knowledgeable and ethical manner.
As out of state homebuyers, Shawn also provided great insight and assistance for our entire family to integrate ourselves into the community in a very fast and seamless manner. We definitely will work with Shawn again!
When I decided to put an addition on my house I had some idea of what I wanted to do, I just needed someone to help me pull it together. Michele came highly recommended so I reached out. Wow! My experience exceeded all expectations. She’s a great listener, engaging, patient, and had ideas that have transformed our home in unexpected ways. The end result is a combination of comfort and sophistication. I thought I knew what I wanted, but without her help our space would have fallen way short of what it is now. Highly recommend!
