Kahai Tate:
Kahai, Thank you so much for helping me transform my house. My family and I love the way it feels now, especially the paint colors! I am amazed every time I walk into my home from the new floor tiles, furniture, window treatments...they all tie together so nicely and reflect who we are as a family. I even love the tiny bathroom now. It doesn't seem so small, thanks for talking me into a bold color in there. You have been wonderful to work with and I especially enjoyed our shopping trips together. You did it all within my budget!!

~ Lisa, Danville

Brenda Bain:
Hello Brenda! All I can say is "WOW!" I can not believe what you did to our home in such a short period of time. It looked absolutely incredible!!! Truth be told, we were very skeptical about the staging service provided by our Realtor. You have made a firm believer out of both my husband and I that "staging" really does work. Our home sold in 2 days of listing for 99% of asking price! It can't get any better than that! You can be assured that we will be recommending you to everyone we know. Sincerely, George & Ruth Jobling

Cheryl Cudmore:
Amazing! Since we had already purchased a house in the city we were transferring to, we had to sell our existing home fast. And thanks to your 'Staging' we succeeded! Your talent for arranging the furniture to show off the best features, including the view from the living room window, and your advise on where to best spend our limited budget to make the greatest impression, worked like a charm. Out of 9 showings we received 2 very acceptable offers and are now enjoying life in our new province. Thanks again for all your help.

~ Rick, Nova Scotia

Sharon Worozbyt:
In the Spring of 2007 we engaged Ms. Worozbyt to select paint, carpet, cabinet doors, counter-tops, hardware, and lighting to update a rental property that we had decided to sell. In addition, Ms. Worozbyt provided staging services for the entire home, which was empty, using both her own staging items as well as some of our furniture and decorative accessories. Ms. Worozbyt made her selections with a view to creating a high quality, move-in ready home, while at the same time keeping her design elements both practical and budget-conscious. Her staging added the final touch required to present a home which would appeal to a broad range of purchasers. The property sold in two weeks for close to the asking price, which was aggressively set taking into account the quality of Ms. Worozbyt's design selections and staging work. We can strongly recommend Ms. Worozbyt for any such future projects. Her services clearly created additional value in our investment property.

Terrylynn Fisher:
Terrylynn is the best! She is very knowledgeable and professional. I would recommend Terrylynn because she truly cares about you. She believes in helping you achieve your dream. When Terrylynn listed my home, I knew it would be presented in its most complimentary light. Terrylynn is my real estate agent because she is honest, trustworthy, professional and compassionate. Thank you!

~ Paulette Cormier, California

Kimberley Stienwandt:
My husband and I just built our first home and with Kim's help we were able to create the warm, comfortable and relaxing feeling that we wanted. She helped us with selecting our paint, flooring, cabinets and accessories and they compliment each other so well. Kim was wonderful to work with! She really listened and understood what vision my husband and I wanted to achieve in building our new home. Her advice and suggestions have given us the house that we had invisioned and we really couldn't be happier with our home!

~ Trevor & Carleen Staska, Beausejour

C.A. Wortley:
The results were amazing! C.A. and her team handled everything for us from start to finish and when our house acutally hit the market - it sold the very 1st day for 100% of the asking price. We've decided we need her help when we move into our new home.

~ D. & E. MacFadyen

Sandra J. Muis:
I was about to list a century home full of character and charm. However, the house was vacant and along with the character and charm were all the quirks of an older home that sellers tend not to notice after living with them over a period of time. The seller understood though, that we had to view the home from the perspective of a buyer and agreed, somewhat reluctantly, to have the house staged. Sandra's staging was sympathetic to the character of the home. Her approach was to keep it clean and simple, yet warm and inviting. We appreciated her flexibility in working with both the seller and the agent, and in incorporating the seller's ideas and furnishings with her own inventory. The staging allowed us to set a price on the home that was reflective of its true market value. The added value of the staging meant the house had multiple offers and sold in two weeks for 94% of the asking price. Certainly, I recommend Sandra Muis and will use the services of Enhanced Homes again.

Gloria Cravero:
Just a note to let you know what a fabulous job you did on the makeover of my client’s property. I must tell you, Gloria, that I had a great feedback regarding how well the house showed. You successfully mastered difficult challenges which had prevented the house from selling in the past – it sold within one week after your amazing transformation! I feel you increased the value of my Vendor’s home by approximately $20,000 in the final sale price! Your energy, talent and professionalism were very much appreciated not only by myself but also my vendor, as was the truly valuable service you have to offer. I have already recommended you to other realtors. I look forward to working with you again.

~ Yvonne Little, Re/Max Abouttowne Realty Corp

Beverley Tollofson:
Bev, I want to thank you again for the great job you did in staging and "fine-tuning" my client's home on Kingsbridge Crt. in Mississauga. Your friendliness, sensitivity, attention to detail and creative ideas were much appreciated by my client....and the good news is, their condo sold in 5 days!! Well done Bev. I'm looking forward to using your services in the future.

~ David Smeriglio, Realtor®, Sutton Group Icon , Mississauga, ON

Martha Stanton-Smith:
I really can't believe my townhouse sold in 3 days. The neighbour's similar house has been on the market since January, but my sale was so quick and easy.

The staging services of Martha Stanton-Smith of Rearrangements and her associate Beverly Woods of Stage Effects are fabulous. I trust them completely and recommend them to everyone.

~ Caitlin Rodger, Kingston, ON

Lori Bondy:
-"Thanks so much for your innovative changes and ideas that you brought to my home. I truly belive that your help with colour changes, room arrangement and accenting tips gave us the extra help we needed with the selling of our home in a very competitve market. Thank you and thanks for all of the help with our house. You are definitely fantastic at what you do"

~ P. Bachmeier, Windsor

Nathalie Bourgeois:
In the beginning we were reluctant to sell our house ourselves as we had never done that before. However, after Nathalie did the staging we saw such a great difference that we gained confidence our house would sell fast. In just 3 weeks, we had our sale. There were always favourable comments from everyone who visited on the room arangements. An engineer even said that "there was excellent use of space" Thanks to Nathalie's natural talent & ideas we were successful in selling our house quickly.

~ Stella & Joseph Bourgeois, 73 McKay Ave, Moncton, N.B.

Joanne Paquette:
Dear Joanne, I thank you so much for the great staging job you did on my home. It looked amazing! It was so much fun working with you and Sherry. My husband and I believe that it was the staging job that sold the house. After three months on the market, the first viewing after the staging sold it! Thanks again! You did a terrific job! I will recommend you to friends and family. Sincerely,

~ Melissa Conway, Ottawa

Cheryl Cudmore:
The Hillgarden house we staged on Friday, sold on Friday night for the asking price + $5000 for the hot tub. It hasn't even listed yet! The buyers had seen it earlier in the week, before staging, and were not sure. Once they saw it staged they told the sellers not to let anyone else through. They knew it wouldn't last on the market while they 'thought' about it!

~ J. Paradisi, Universal Concepts

Sharon Worozbyt:
Sharon, you created a home that instantly said "buy me"! From the tasteful kitchen cabinets and the instant transformation of a bathroom to a tranquil spa, to the careful placement of art and flowers, you created that all important "first impression". At the Open House we held on the first weekend that our listing came on the market, the many prospective buyers who attended were completely positive in their comments. This couldn't have happened without your expertise and good taste. You were able to transform what was an empty house into a "home" that was filled with warmth and comfort. The house was sold to a buyer who came through that day! Of course, our sellers couldn't have been happier. You proved that home-staging pays for itself! Thank you Sharon!

Catherine E. Brown:
June 30 , 2006 We were having to move in a week due to a change of employment. We have two small children, so, as you can imagine, our home was in no condition to be sold. Catherine came in and gave us a full analysis of what had to be done and executed the plan efficiently. Everything from renting furniture to de-cluttering was done. The home now shows to it's full potential. Regards,

~ Raj Bansal, London, ON

Terrylynn Fisher:
Dear Terrylynn

Where do we begin? We are still a little bit in disbelief that we actually own the home we are living in. When we think about it we truly feel we wouldn't be in this position had it not been for you and your great resources like Cheryl at CMG Mortgate and your great assistant Amy.

We really appreciated you taking the time to truly listen to our "needs" and "wants". We liked being able to be honest about how we felt about certain properties and not feel pressured. If there is one thing we hate, it is a hard sell. You truly let us decide what we liked and didn't like and we never felt like you were just trying to make a sale. We felt you truly had our best interests at heart. With the few disappointments we had, you kept a positive attitude that helped us keep a positive attitude as well. You didn't let us get discouraged despite the crazy housing market and our price range. It made us feel important that you and Amy took the time to check the listings several times a day for quite a while looking for anything and everything possible.

It also made us feel realy confident having you behind us in the "offer" process. You truly do all you can for your clients and try your best to get what they want. We loved having you on our side and that made a difference, as you know, in getting us this house!

We would definitely recommend you to everyone we know. In fact, we have a couple friends considering buying later this year and we've already told them aobut you.

Thanks again so much for helping make our dream of owning a home a reality. We hope we will keep in touch over time and we'll definitely call you when we're ready for our next move!

Sincerely,

~ Dave and Tina Kim, California

Delaine Fox:
"Delaine Fox’s staging techniques and good eye for design made my house look so good, I would not hesitate to have her set up the new house once I move in. She is enthusiastic, professional and made my house look polished and ready to sell without costing me a cent. I’m glad I took my next step with Next Step Staging!"

~ Diane (Home Owner), Pickering, Ontario

Mara Snider:
"I have seen some staging jobs that have been completed by Mara and have been very impressed with her eye for colour and design. Her placement of furniture demonstrates her ability to re-create a room that emphasizes a focal point while setting an atmosphere of "lived-in" warmth and at the same time creating a spacious and uncluttered look. If you are interested in selling your home quickly, I would recommend Mara's services. From first impressions created by an inviting curb appeal to the last minute detail in any of several rooms, Mara's staging will play an integral role in developing the purchaser's 'ready to move in' feeling."
