Shandrika Powell Real Estate & Interior Design Benicia - Benicia, California

Shandrika was an excellent interior designer for our new home. The design aspect of buying a home after renting for 10 years was overwhelming. Shandrika helped guide us through the steps and helped us prioritize what to focus on first which put us at ease. My husband began to say “ask Shandrika” whenever we hit a bump in the road. She is great, I highly recommend her for help on any part of your home interior design process. She helped us make decisions, find contractors, and save money. Thanks Shandrika!

Shandrika Powell is an outstanding realtor and designer. We recently had the pleasure of working with her on the successful purchase of a home in Benicia, California. After we moved in, we continued to work together on interior design, truly making the house a home.
Shandrika is a long-time Benicia resident with years of experience as a real estate agent, interior designer and stager. She understood our specifications and the local community, and she worked tirelessly to find the perfect house for us. Her advice on the timing and amount of our offer to buy the property was spot-on, and we completed the sale and moved in without any problems.
Our professional relationship continued after the sale was complete. Shandrika traveled to our former home in another county and advised us which pieces of furniture would work well in our new house. She helped us arrange the furniture and advised us about what furnishings and artwork we should consider purchasing to complete the interior design. Her artistic touch is amazing!
Shandrika has a keen knowledge of local vendors and resources, and we relied upon her good advice to contract with a general contractor, electrician, window covering contractor, and handyman. She even connected us with two women who put clean linens on our beds the day we moved in and who helped us unpack our belongings. Shandrika truly is a full-service real estate agent and interior designer.
Additionally, Shandrika has a delightful personality, and it is an absolute pleasure to work with her. If you need a well-qualified real estate agent, interior designer and stager, look no further than Shandrika Powell.

Shandrika was so amazing and patient in helping my husband and I find our dream home! My husband and I were very selective on the area and attributes of our future home. Shandrika was unfazed and made sure to fully understand what we were looking for. We were new to the area and she made sure to show us the best neighborhoods and potential areas. We originally met Shandrika while we were looking at a house she had listed. She was so knowledgeable and professional we decided to use her as our buyers agent.
We would definitely work with Shandrika in the future and recommend her to prospective buyers/sellers!

We recently worked with Shandrika to sell our parents home. I cannot overstate how outstanding our experience was. Shandrika's expertise in all stages of the home sale process was clearly evident upon our first meeting. She was organized, well versed in home market values, gave us great advice re: preparing our home to sell, then she beautifully staged the home to hi-light its best characteristics.....and on top of this she was an absolute pleasure to work with.
As a result of her proficiency and hard work our home was in contract on the same day it was listed, for well over asking price.
Shandrika is a top notch, savvy real estate professional whom I most sincerely recommend to anyone looking to buy or sell a home!!

If we could give Shandrika more stars, we would. It is always a delight to work with her. She is an amazing, talented decorator. She really listens from the beginning to the end of a project.
She is creative, ingenious and aware of cost. Truly amazing at what-she does. We are so happy with our results and the overall experience. Highly recommended.

Shandrika did an amazing job. Helped us through the entire process and walked my mother through both moving out of her home and moving into her new residence. Very grateful for all of her experience and help.

I highly recommend Shandrika, even though I've never met her. My wife and MIL interviewed several realtors, and selected Shandi, who came highly recommended from the assisted living facility my MIL was moving into. They could not have made a better decision! From Day One, Shandi made our side of the process so much easier and added tremendous value to the property. She set us up with a local contractor, who was excellent and very reasonably priced. She waked through the property with my wife, explaining what repairs/upgrades should be done to facilitate the sale, and which items would not likely bring a return. She set up a deep cleaning, and did an excellent job in staging the property. She even completely took care of the garage, which was full of the left over furniture and other items (some garbage) that could not be moved. She really went over and above what I would expect from a listing agent.

The property is still available for sale, but that is just a function of the market, and timing (going into Thanksgiving). I think most realtors would suggest a price drop after a month or so on the market. But Shandi is smart enough, and watching out for out best interests, to know that a price drop doesn't stimulate demand. We just need to be a little patient, probably wait until the first of the year when buyers start to come back out, and then we will get a fair price. And when we do, I have complete confidence that Shandi will be there to get us to a smooth closing!
