Testimonials about some of our members:

Jadah Nerman:
I was selling my house ComFree and decided I wanted it staged, so I called Boutique Touch Interiors to help me. They turned out to be an excellent choice and had a lot of great ideas that I might never have thought of to help me get my house sold faster. I really appreciated their courteous and respectful approach.

~ Ainsley, Winnipeg

Marina Gutierrez:

~ Laura Laumann, Toronto

Brenda Ernst:
Recently one of our clients moved into a retirement residence and asked if we would handle her estate assets. Selling the family home was the first thing we needed to do.We called our REALTOR® friend,Doug Toombs, for an evaluation, and I'm so glad we did.He brought in Brenda as their Home Stager and she quickly landscaped,sorted,cleaned and staged the estate home. The property sold in very short order with multiple offers and over the list price.Needless to say, we were very pleased. We'd be happy to recommend this team to anyone looking for a total"turn key"sale solution. Keith B

Michelle Finnamore:

Lucia Tomson:
I am thrilled with her background and where she comes from in doing this. I feel she is the real deal as she has done this personally .... and in fact she has. Its that connection to the task at hand that I truly value. She knows what she is doing from a true hands on perspective. She is not just spewing out words of do this and do that, she knows what it takes to realise her suggestions. Her choices for colours, decor and presentation are superb. I am still so fascinated that she can connect to the person and the task in a real genuine way and not talk down to me. That includes a whole hearted understanding of my budget which she has easily respected. I am fortunate to be working with her because her energy and focus to do this successfully is wonderful.

~ Dan Bureau, Barrie, Ontario

Linda Graydon:
I just wanted to let you know how appreciative I am of the service you provided for my seller client. Your staging prowess provided a phenomenal transformation of the property and really created an elegant living area inside the house. All of the sales representatives that showed the property commented on how well it was staged and provided an appealing viewing experience for their buyer clients. As a sales representative, I feel the purpose of staging a property for sale is to provide a welcoming, inviting and pleasurable experience for any potential buyers to see the opportunities within a given home. Your service provided was helpful, timely and very professional and I would not hesitate to recommend you to any clients or other agents looking for a staging professional.

Sharyn Janssen:
"Dear Sharyn, I am writing to thank you so much for the wonderful work you did at our condominium unit at 1 York Quay. The unit was in need of significant maintenance and upgrading in order to make it a competitive rental property. As landlords who do not live locally, we were very concerned about finding and coordinating the multiple trades people as well as in upgrading the decorating and furnishings at an affordable price. We have been absolutely delighted with the work you did on our behalf. Your decorating sense of both colour and furnishings was tasteful and practical. Your efficiency of time and your use wherever possible of existing materials helped to keep the costs realistic. The organization of the entire process of sorting the existing furnishings was also very much appreciated. Your communication with us along the entire process to ensure we were aware of and happy with the outcome was excellent. Finally and most importantly, it was fun working with you as your sense of honesty, integrity and enthusiasm were evident! The end result was that we obtained a tenant at the rental price we were hoping for within one week of the listing! Please feel free to use my name and email address as a reference for anyone who is looking for an opinion on your work. Best regards, Leslie Rourke

Maggie Magner:
I wanted to take a moment to congratulate the team on the tremendous work. I cannot believe in less than a day - you have taken our things and created a feeling in this house that we have never been able to create in 31 yrs of living in it! WOW the transformations are amazing - I would definitely recommend every Realtor® & homeowner use this process. Our house has been on the market for over a year with another agent - if that agent had used staging in his marketing plan I am convinced we would have sold already. Thank goodness we found Linda, our new agent - she brought the CSPT Staging suggestion to our attention - definitely worth the investment of time & money. I am actually looking forward to the open house - I am sure we will receive offers.

~ Annie Wilson (Homeowner), 2464 Scrivens Drive, Greely, Ontario

Myka Wroblewski:
Myka is a true professional of her trade and my clients found her services to be extremely helpful and valuable. I am looking forward to working with Myka on many more future listings! Thanks again! Victoria

~ Victoria Telleria, Sales Representative, Sutton Group Summit, Mississauga, ON

Maureen Bray:
“Thanks again for doing such a great job for us. I know our house would not have sold so quickly if it had not been for your efforts ~ and for full price too in only two weeks!” --- Joe Martin, Vancouver WA

~ Joe Martin, Vancouver WA

Nairn Friemann:
"Hi Nairn. We did it! We signed a contract today and now we can co-ordinate with the close on our new place. I cannot thank you enough for all that you did to help me prepare. There is no way I could have done it without you!"

~ Rita Koplin, New York

Jodi Buck:
I downsized from a house to an open loft style apartment and couldn't figure out where to put all my stuff. Jodi spent a few hours with me and showed me how I could differentiate the spaces within the one large area. She helped me to choose colour, furnishings and lighting and now my place looks incredible. I would tell anybody thinking about changing anything in their home to call Flair and Function. They'll be happy they did.

~ Jeff B., Nepean

Laurie L. Cole:
I was convinced our home would not sell. Our style of home (a split entry) seemed to have small rooms and no sense of style. I couldn't put myself in a buyers shoes to see what our home had to offer. I am so glad Laurie came and gave us an objective opinion. She assessed our home and provided us with concrete, low cost and easy to do recommendations. We followed her advice and the results were impressive. She came later and staged our home and the first couple that went through our home bought it. They had viewed 10 similar homes that day and chose ours. We were particularly pleased with the work she did in our kitchen. With a few simple tricks our kitchen went from being a room I really didn't care for to a functional space that a family can enjoy. We move into our new home soon and plan to have Laurie back to stage it before we move in. Thanks Laurie for our New View!!

~ Lynn Fletcher, Saint John NB

Mona Lise Normandeau:
"Mona Lise you've got talent! The townhouse looks great and you've done a wonderful job staging it. I am impressed with your professionalism and we will definitely continue to do business."

~ C. Hill, Royal LePage Ram Realty, Calgary

Nanette Catarinella:
Thanks so much for all of your help and guidance in preparing our home for sale. We're very excited to tell you the good news. We accepted an offer for more than asking price before putting the sign in the yard. We listed the house on Sunday, had a Realtors tour on Monday and had a bidding war between two buyers on Monday night.

~ D. Rescher, Squirrel Hill, PA

Louise Short:
Hi Louise You did an awesome job on the house. Not only the outcome but also the way you handled everything was awesome. I was out with Jim last night for dinner and made sure he new how hard you worked on getting the house ready and how you handled the paint situation etc. He could see it in the final results as well. We will definitely refer you in the future and I can see how staging is a huge advantage in the long run. Thanks Renald Guindon Sutton Group Preferred Realty Inc.,Brokerage

Martha Stanton-Smith:
I just finished a fashion show fundraiser for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation that was beautifully staged by Martha Stanton-Smith. The comments from the attendees were all very positive and complimentary. The room looked fresh, bright and springy the day after one of winters’ biggest snow storms. Great attention to detail, nicely appointed & just the right amount of accessorizing to create the atmosphere we wanted without clutter!

~ Daphne Christie, Kingston, ON.

Joanne Abrahams:
Rave Review did an excellent job in staging my home for sale, making many helpful suggestions to rearrange existing furniture and accessories so as to maximize the attractiveness of the space. The arrangements were done in a timely fashion with little disruption to the owner. I strongly recommend them to stage and improve the marketability of a home. The expense incurred will be more than returned in the price obtained and the timeliness of sale.

~ Steven Zatzman, Halifax, Nova Scotia

Tanya Nouwens:
Thanks for a smashing job. Everyone who walked in wanted to stay and so we had 5 offers within a week. A lot of houses are for sale around here and you made ours stand out. And you did it while respecting its own kind of charm. If it wasn't for your talent and your generousity, we would still be waiting for our buyer, like everyone else on the block. You could have done so much less but you gave the extra time to make it right. Thank you for actually caring! We will be asking for your advice in our new home too -- we want that extra pleasant feel to the space for ourselves now!

~ M. Dufour & R. Dugas, Montreal, Quebec

Trent Miller:
We decided to sell our house but had no idea how or what to do to get it ready for sale. So we hired Trent and we have no regrets. He put our house together for us and we had not to worry about anything. It looked so good we didn’t want to move after all. Our house sold the first day listed and we got almost the full asking price. Mario and Annetta Lopez , Mississauga
