Catherine Martel:
Catherine, I am writing to you from my new house! I wanted to let you know that your professional opinion and help with the staging of my old home made me feel confident and excited to sell. I would recommend a staging consultation to anyone wanting to sell thier home.

~ Lauri Anreas, Cambridge ON

Lori Howard:
Dear Lori, Thank you so much for providing home staging consultations to my listing clients. With the common goal of preparing my client's homes for re-sale, you consistently demonstrate professionalism while delivering sensible, and constructive staging advice. My clients have found your direction easy to understand and execute. You communicate a clear vision of the desired end result, and my clients appreciate the value of this process. Ultimately, the end results of your staging efforts speak of themselves: consistently profitable and faster sales! You have set the "Stage" for great things to come; I look forward to our continued working relationship! Regards, Claire Franceschetti Re/Max West Realty Inc. http /://Call-Claire.Com

~ Claire Franceschetti, Vaughan, Ontario

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!'

~ John Crawford, Sutton Group Hertitage Realty, Pickering, Ontario

Johanne Sergerie:
Job Execution: DECLUTTERING & REDESIGN _______________________________________________________________ Rooms: LIVING ROOM, SUNROOM and KITCHEN _______________________________________________________________ Just a few words Johanne to thank you for this incredible day. I am amazed to see how much you have accomplished in such a short period of time. Because you are such a good observer and a really good listener, my expectations were all met and beyond. The end result wowed me as much as the before and after pictures. My teens have manifestly appreciated the changes. They even took the time to sit down in our redesigned living room and have a family discussion; which is really unusual and was mostly impossible with our previous set-up. We have the impression to be able to breathe more freely and now, I want to have her redesign the whole house! Thank you so much Johanne!

~ P. Bergeron, Saguenay

Karen Hubert:
"We had a very pleasant and profitable experience staging our home with Center Stage Design. Though somewhat reluctant to hand over control of our home to someone else, we put our faith in Karen and implemented all of her recommendations. After two days on the market, we recieved multiple offers on our home and ended up selling for $15,000 above our original list price. I highly recommend enlisting the services of Center Stage Design when selling your home."

~ Jack and Jane Anderson, Dundas Homeowners

Marilynn Currie:
Thanks Marilyn, I was very happy with the quick sale of my home. The painters and landscaper you referred me to did a great job. Also, the final staging did make a significant difference. I ended up accepting an offer for over 99% of my asking price within two days of it hitting the market. I am planning on having my new home staged just for my own enjoyment. Paul Wiedemann

~ Paul Wiedemann, Abbotsford

Bev MacLean:
Bev is extremely professional and very personable. Due to unforeseen personal circumstances I chose to take my house off the market. Bev was compassionate and understanding. She was more concerned with my situation than an impending sale. I will definitely employ Bev's services when I decide to list again and would not hesitate to recommend her to friends and family. Bev MacLean is a professional in all meanings of the word. I truly appreciated her kindness and compassion and wish her unlimited success.

~ Deborah Porteous, Brampton

Lynda Sprunt:
Lynda I just wanted to thank you for the help with getting our house ready for the market. I wasn't sure what kind of experience it would be but you made it very comfortable with your friendly yet professional attitude. The funny thing is I thought I had gone through my house, purged things and set things up to make the best showing possible already myself. What a difference you made! Which just goes to show you that it's very hard to see your own home as others will. The job you did creating a library office out of an empty bedroom was great and the spare room and living room changes I would never have thought of. PS The real estate agent who saw the "before" loves the "after". So thanks again Ann P Keswick

Suzanne Ethier:
The course was very thorough - touching on everything one needed to know to professionally stage a home and start a successful staging business. Of course practice makes perfect! ... the practical experience was fabulous - there is nothing like "hands on experience". Suzanne was an awesome teacher - incredibly articulate (which also made the course professional) and knowledgeable. Great tips were given to us which empowered me to believe I absolutely can make a successful business in Staging.

~ Siobhan Furlong, CSP Stager, Ottawa, ON

Heather Jordan:
Heather: Thank You so very much for helping me fall in love with my home again. I had no idea what to do until you came in with your creative suggestions. Right from your colour choices to your re-arrangement of the art and furniture that I already owned made a complete transformation. I still have a hard time believing that it’s the same place. I especially love my Bedroom (some days I just wish I didn’t have to leave). The whole experience was painless since you looked after everything from the hiring of the painter to the transformation of every room in the house. With only a few gallons of paint I feel like I have a new home and all new belongings. Feel free to have your potential clients call me for a reference. I would love to share my story with anyone looking to start enjoying their home again.

~ Patti Jackson, Fergus, ON

Angela Clissold:
I couldn’t believe the impact Sort and Style.com had on my investment. There were 25 comparables (price, location and size) within a 5 mile radius, the market was saturated and even the Realtor was sceptical about Staging. After the furniture and pictures and lamps etc replaced the empty space, it looked like a show home! It sold within 10 days of the Staging.

~ Peter John, , Edmonton AB

Kerry Derwent-Robb:
I have used Chips & Kerry Home Staging Services for my listings quite a number of times now and always found Kerry extremely helpful and professional. Kerry & Holly's suggestions to the owners were very helpful, and the furnishings enhance the homes so well that the properties sold very quickly. As of matter of fact, two of them resulted in sales within two days of staging. They have impeccable taste in their choice of accessories and displays. The price of staging these homes is very reasonable and more effective than any advertising media. I would not hesitate to recommend "Chips & Kerry" to anyone selling or listing their home.

~ Yolande Mason, Dartmouth

Dena Hartling:
"You are a miracle worker! After being referred to her by my realtor, Dena transformed my house into a show home! My home had been listed for four months with lots of people coming thru it, but no offers. I needed to move quickly due to family reasons. Three weeks after Dena had completely Staged my 2400 sq. ft home, it sold! I seriously couldn't have done it without Dena!! Thank you so, so much for being you, & going from room to room with me showing me what to do. You are truly brilliant!"

Nanette Catarinella:
Just wanted to let you know that we sold our house before we even put it on the market. The Realtor told us that the buyers had looked at about 100 houses over the past several months and fell in love with ours. all of your ideas really paid off, from changing the furniture placement, de-cluttering, removing old wall paper and painting. They couldn't believe our house was 17 years old. Staging really paid off!

~ S. Hunt, Murrysville, PA

Anna Topolinsky:
Thanks Anna for all your help, you were very professional and imformative with your consultation. In return the consultation educated me on how to prepare my home before listing.

~ Cathy Dion, Farrington, St.Catharines

Nausheen Dossajee:
I had always been a believer in the power of staging but with the amazing results that The Staging Gurus have helped me achieve its is for sure the best thing any Realtor can do to help his or her sellers get the maximum value for their properties. They are a very talented team of young professionals and know exactly what a home requires to make it appealing for most buyers and can do it in a very short time without going into major renovations or expensive undertakings. They provide great ideas to home owners with a full package and checklists of simple steps to prepare their homes for sale. The home owners have the choice of making the transformations themselves with complete guidance from the GURUS. They also provide full staging services at a very reasonable fee which are mostly a fraction of the added value that their staged home actually sell for. Whether you are a Realtor or a home owner considering to sell, I would definitely recommend that you first talk to The Staging Gurus as a first step towards listing your home for sale.

~ Naveed Haidari - REMAX, Mississauga

Karen Searle:
Dear Karen, Thank you so much for your help in "staging" our Christmas scene. The winter urn was perfect. The flowers were spectacular and many compliments were flowing! Your extra care in tweaking our existing floral displays was much appreciated. We are particularly grateful for the time you spent on our behalf during the holiday season. You are a very talented lady!

~ Glenda Lukinuk, Re/Max Broker, Peterborough, Ontario

Linda M. Stewart:
Our house was unorganized and full of clutter prior to hiring Home Stager Linda Stewart of Madison Lane Designs. Linda came in to our home and within a short period of time, she had completely transformed our home in to what appeared to be a very spacious, bright and tidy looking home. We even reconsidered selling our hour house since it looked so fantastic. As a result of Linda's expertise, we were able to sell our house within 3 weeks of listing at 98% of our asking price. We were especially delighted since this was during the month of February when the market tends to be slow. Needless to say, we have already booked Linda to come and help us re-design our new home!

~ Margo & Peter D., Barrie

Josee Lalonde:
I saw Josée at work and she is fantastic! Hard working, intelligent, creative and willing to go the extra mile - I HIGHLY recommend her!

~ C. Clement, Victoria

Susan Douglas:
"I would like to offer my sincere appreciation to the CSP Team under the direction of Christina Rae for staging my listing in Marietta, Georgia. I personally thought the house was decorated nicely and showed well until the CSP team came in and performed their magic. Within a matter of hours the house took on a definite "Welcome Home" feeling. It was amazing the difference a few simple changes can make in the feel of a home. The home has gotten nothing but great reviews from other agents, open houses and potential buyers. I would highly recomment Certified Staging Professionals for all future listings."

~ Realtor, Marietta, Ga.
