Jeannie Verbin:
Home Staging by Jeannie provided a full service home staging. I was very happy with the results. I was impressed with her work ethic, her staging knowledge and professional work manner. I confidently recommend her to others requiring staging services.

Alanna Tozer:
Alanna, of Divine Staging Solutions, has an eye for the interior space. She can walk into a room and see what would make the room look a little more appealing and a little less cluttered which gives you the edge when trying to sell your house. Alanna also has a great eye for coordinating colours and tying a room to a theme. When picking out paint colours, I always ask Alanna for advice as she has great sense of what goes well together. Alanna knows how to work on a limited budget to make a room look like it cost much more money to put together. She has a fresh insight to help you sell your home faster.

Suzette Sager:
Suzette, your staging of my home completely exceeded my expectations! You took furniture and decorative items I already had in my house and rearranged and styled them in a way that made my home look more roomy, comfortable and overall much more appealing. It looks like a model home! My house has only been on the market for a few days, but I’ve already received very favorable comments from several brokers that the expert styling has set my house apart from all other homes on the market. My broker expects the house to sell very soon! Thanks to you, my house has a competitive advantage over all the other homes out there. I highly recommend you for any home styling or home redesign projects.

Grace Graham:
Over the past several years I have had the pleasure of enjoying Grace's friendship and her art. I was honoured to be asked to write a reference for her, for the purposes of attesting to her character and exemplary workmanship. Not only is my home endowed with her unique and vibrant pieces but also many of my friends and family. It is a pleasure, and rarity, to see such excellent workmanship and so much pride taken in ones work. This of course is not surprising given her diligence, work ethic and propensity to continuously explore new and exciting decorative techniques. I do not hesitate for an instance to recommend her work and to commend her on her personal attributes of integrity, discipline and respect. I would welcome the opportunity to speak further on her work and can be reached at 905-469-3971. Best Regards, Lynne E. Morris,BSc,MHSc

Sandra J. Muis:
Thank you for the care, creativity and commitment to detail that you demonstrated throughout the staging process at our property in Gananoque. Since your staging effort we have had a series of very well attended open houses and the house has been sold for asking price. The staging process you provided made use of the existing environment and furnishings. Our sense of feeling a bit overwhelmed by the task of showing the house was eliminated by your creativity and effort. We believe that your efforts to stage our property made a definate difference in our ability to successfully show and ultimately sell the property. Our real estate agent was also impressed. I would not hesitate to provide you with a reference if needed. Thank you for your excellent service.

Cheryl-Anne Priest:
Thank you, I have been working on your suggestions. I will admit my husband and I, being conservative accountants, were not too sure about the matching hanger suggestion for the front hall closet. I found some nice wooden ones that were inexpensive so I decided to give it a go. We both admitted it really makes a difference. I am glad I had you in and I would like to have you back for the final touches once the moving company has been here and things have been cleared out.

Stacey Haluka:
Being in the business for over 19 years, change doesn't come easy. When I met Stacey she was talking about the advantages of Staging my properties. I was wondering why I would want to do this since I'm successfully selling houses already. Anyway after much consideration, I decided to give it a try. What a difference!! The first house Stacey staged was listed privately for about 3 months and once I listed it, we had an accepted offer in only 4 days and the vendor received 99.3% of the asking price, a full 2.3% higher than the average listing to sales ratio. She continues to stage properties for me with similar results.

Christina Melo:
Christina came to us as a referral. We utilized Homey Homes in order to provide us with some ideas and a budget so that we could renovate a commercial space in a retirement living community. We felt she knew what she was doing and really enjoyed working with her. Thank you Christina for all your hard work.

Darcy Blanchard:
"DESIGNING FIRST IMPRESSIONS were very professional and efficient. We were very pleased with the staging results. "IT WORKED", the house was listed and within one week multiple offers were presented to us."

Susan Douglas:
"Wow! What a difference staging makes. Each detail and placement enhances the living area to give the prospective buyer the optimaluse of space. Susan took a personal interest in my project . She is effiecient, easy to work with, and her follow up is phenomenal."

Janice McLean:
I had heard about home staging from friends in Southern Ontario and I was really excited to hear that there is someone here in Sault Ste. Marie doing this type of work. Thank you so much for your expertise in staging my home and also for all the hard work you did and professional advise you gave us. I have so much more room now - it's just too bad that I didn't do this before I decided to sell! I'll be using some of your ideas in our next house. I would highly recommend your services to anyone who is selling their home. Thanks again for all your help and the best of luck with your business.

Kathy Stroud:
Dear Kathy: I want to thank you for the beautiful job that you did preparing our house for sale. I did not know what a difference an expert can make. I am so glad that I let you do the decision making. No wonder it sold in just one day for more than the asking price. It was a pleasure working with you and I thank you for your input. Sincerely, Margaret Kelly.

Kathryn Wilson:
It never occured to us that we could arrange our furniture the way Kathryn did on our open concept main floor. It made the whole room look more inviting.

Victoria Sautner:
'I have used Vicky Sautner's services and can state first hand that her efforts are "outstanding" and that the results are "even more amazing." Not only can she identify the problems, she can correct them. If you have any doubts, check the sale of 45 Greenhalf Drive in Ajax, E1161271-see for yourself-the results were more money for the sellers and therefore a fantastic ending for all concerned!'

Beverly Woods:
Staging Details Effective In Selling House! When I arrived at Beverly neighbour's house as their realtor, I was very impressed with all the updates, the new flooring, fixtures, freshly painted walls, not to mention the curb appeal of the property. There was no doubt that this had been the work of Beverly and her team. It was a pleasure to list and market a house that was `turn key`ready for a potential buyer. We sold the property for full asking price in two weeks. The Sellers were pleased with the Real Estate Services provided including the impressive staging details which most definitely were effective in selling the house. Bev, you did a fabulous job!
