Carolyn Keyworth - Burlington, Ontario

Dear Janet,

I would like to thank you most sincerely for your expertise in staging my house in Milton for sale. You did a fantastic job and the house sold to the first couple who had a viewing on the first day.

Your ideas were clearly presented with appropriate rationale and I had a clear plan for follow through. The day you spent doing the final preparation for showing was invaluable and I was proud to present the house to potential purchasers.

I would recommend your company, with no hesitation, to any individuals contemplating selling a house.

Yours sincerely,

Carolyn Keyworth

Karen - Burlington, Ontario

Hello Janet,

I wanted to forward on the pictures of our house and thank you for all your advice. Our house looks fantastic - it's amazing what adding pictures and accessories can do. I also really appreciated the time you spent to shop with me as I would never have been able to make such quick decisions and know what would have looked best without your advice.

Thanks again for your help.

Brian - Oakville, Ontario

Hi Janet,

I wanted to thank you and Rhonda for all of the work that you did in staging my house for sale. You both did an amazing job of doing everything including arranging for repairs, painting a number of rooms, arranging for new carpets on two floors and bringing in additional furniture. The house looked great when you were finished with it! The end result was that I was able to sell my house in a relatively short period of time on the market at over my asking price. I believe that your staging work was a big part this successful result.

I was not familiar with the staging process prior to you being recommended to me by Lauretta Stewart, my real estate agent. As you know, Lauretta is also a big fan of yours! Having seen the end result of your work, I would not sell a house again without having you first stage it. The cost of the staging was very reasonable and you stayed within the agreed budget. It was also done within a very short period of time that enabled me to get my house on the market quickly.

In summary, I was totally pleased with your service and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone who is selling their house. You can feel free to provide this e-mail to any prospective clients that may require a reference.

Thanks again for all of your great work!

Jeffrey & Darleen - Toronto, Ontario

My wife & I just wanted to pass on that we were extermely pleased with the service you provided.

This was the 3rd house we have sold but the first that we have had professionally stage. There is no question in our mind that the upgraded appearance of our home thanks to the staging was a key factor in helping us getting full asking price for our house after listing for just 2 days. By the way that is after raising our original anticipated listing price. Clearly, the increased sale price we received was far in excess in the cost of the staging - ie a great investment.

Thanks for all your help!

Manny - Oakville, Ontario

Hi Janet,

I am happy to inform you that our house sold yesterday and I want to thank you for an excellent job staging the house.Thank you, thank you, and a million thankx to you.

Gord Haines: Royal LePage State Realty Brokerage - Oakville, Ontario

Dear Janet,

I want to thank you for the excellent work you did in preparing my home for viewing by potential buyers. As both the owner and a practising real estate sales representative I understand and appreciate the value your staging brings to a real estate transaction. It was common to hear potential buyers use words like beautiful and exquisite to describe the finished product. Of course, the proof is always in the results, and in this case the home sold in three weeks during a time when the country was slipping into a recession and the real estate market was starting a downward spiral. I truly believe your staging made the difference and resulted in a sale while other homes in the area sat stagnant. Your staging and advice was worth every penny!

Jane and Craig - Oakville, Ontario

Hello Janet,

Here are a few pictures of our home as we listed it. We sold our home in 2 days and for over asking price. I know that staging the home well helped us to be successful.

- Just a note that I did change the flowers in the fireplace to a candelabra for the showings.

The great part is that now we are going to be taking all the new décor items with us to help make our new home more beautiful.

Thank you,

Dear Janet,

I would like to thank you and your great team for the wonderful job you did of staging 43 Colins Ave. Your design sense, patience, hard work and attention to detail made such a difference.

Once stages, the house looked spectacular and it sold over the asking price, within two days.

I will be delighted to refer you to any of my Real Estate colleagues and look forward to working with you again.

Jane - Toronto, Ontario

Hi Janet,

Thank you for your consultation at 63 Oakley. I was really inspired by what you had to say to improve our home’s marketability. You should see the improvements already!

I also appreciate your call about Granite Transformations. I have contacted them regarding the table top, and hope to hear back soon.

Sue Beggs: Human Services Counselling Addiction Counsellor - Toronto, Ontario

Hi Janet,

Janet, you are a big reason why we sold the same day as the agents' open house; 99% of asking with no conditions with a huge deposit. You turned our lovely home into a showplace.

You have the diplomacy to deliver "sensitive" advice to people who don't want to hear "your baby is ugly" news. We followed your advice to the letter and viola!

We never expected that the house would fly off the shelf so fast. We would recommend you to anyone looking to get a house ready for market. Our real estate agent (the top one on Leaside) walked through with his mouth open.....he is not easy to impress, believe me but you did.

It was a pleasure working with you.....we'll be calling you at the other end to give us decorating advice for our new build....thanks for all of your efforts...they definitely paid off.
