AT Survey: What Do You Mean By High End?

This question came from Julianna in a thread yesterday, and we thought it was really a good one. When we work with clients one of the biggest hurdles to get over is the sticker shock of finding out what things cost. We think it is advisable to get a handle on costs and price ranges asap. One way of doing this is to get a handle on the terminology, so that when someone recommends a "high end" contractor, you know what they mean. This survey is just a start.

Hi Susan Jalo - Do you do installations in Manhattan? If not, can you recommend a contractor that would do Ikea kitchens to me.

Thanks

I feel bad for anyone in the high end market with the recession in full force now. A good contractor friend of mine says even those with money don't want to spend it right now and give off the wrong impression to those who are struggling to make it.

Of course this has helped companies like <A href="http://www.rossstores.com/">Ross, <A href="http://www.marshallsonline.com/">Marshall, & other discount stores. <A href="http://www.c21stores.com/#/home/">Century21 in NYC is busier than ever. Gray & Sons in Miami, FL is getting more consignments of Rolex, Cartier, & Tag Heur than ever. Of course even these guys can only prosper for so long. They need a supply from the luxury stores to continue to make it. Right now those luxury stores are cutting back on inventory significantly.
