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.

Reem Shibel:
“I had the pleasure of meeting Reem Shibel some years back when she worked in the Market Research Division of Associated Business Consultants SAL, of which I was the Chairman of the Board and President. The feedback from her division chief and her colleagues was always complimentary and the reports did say a lot about her interest in and about the jobs on hand; her attentiveness to details was reportedly remarkable. Later on, I did meet her on a social level and must say she impressed me as an intelligent person with a keen and open mind to new ideas and new tools. She is the type of person who will make all the effort necessary to understand her peers, colleagues and prospective clients. Reem has a pleasant and likeable personality, and I do wish her all the success in her new endeavors.�

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

Victoria Sautner:
'I was recently faced with the monumental task of emptying my mother's home and moving her to a nursing home. The house needed to be emptied and prepared for sale. Vicky took on the task of itemizing all the belongings in the home and employing all the necessary folks to get the job done. She clearly identified and outlined all the tasks that were necessary and negotiated with all the various outfits that we needed in order to empty the home, and dealt with all the various issues as they came up. Her common sense approach and problem solving skills are certainly appreciated. Vicky is a pleasure to deal with and we certainly trust her judgement, thoroughness and efficiency.

Catherine LeBlanc:
To the potential customer of Catherine LeBlanc, When Catherine staged my home, I was pleasantly surprised at the suggestions and work she put into making this newly renovated home ready for the real estate market. Catherine and her associates are easy to work with, worked quickly on my schedule, had wonderful ideas and utilized as many of my items as they could before resorting to her abundance of supply. I am glad I had Catherine stage my home; she made a stressful task easier while creating the atmosphere we sought after.

Martha Stanton-Smith:
Martha amazed me!! She was in our house for a short period of time, and we got to work on the tasks at hand, I had decided to rent living room furniture, Martha remembered the colors in two antique pictures that were the focal point in the room, she then picked the furniture out and brought all the right accessories with her. Our place looked great and we were told many times how well our house showed. We will have her over to our new house. Thanks Martha.

Just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that the property you staged at 1340, Avenue T in Ottawa sold very quickly...within the first week...and at 99% of asking!

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,

Pamela Landry:
"We found that Pam has a very keen eye for interior and exterior design. Her assessment and recommendations for staging were comprehensive and yet to the point. The actual staging was very efficiently executed, showing our home more favorably than we expected. That our house sold within 24 hours can certainly be attributed in part to Pam's excellent work. Working with Pam on this project has been a pleasure all around and we commend her for a job well done."

Tomas Foster:
“I would like to recommend the services of Tom Foster for anyone seeking to sell their home quickly and effectively. I found him a pleasure to work with and well worth his fee. Especially useful to us was having his objective input on improvements and changes that needed to be made for effective marketing of our home, along with his access to well-qualified tradesmen who worked quickly for a reasonable price. The bottom line was that after following Tom’s advice, we had a full-price offer and a back-up offer 24 hours after our property hit the MLS.”

Lesley King:
My husband and I have recently built a house in Innisfil. I called Lesley for help in choosing paint colour for the entire house. What seemed like an overwhelming task was quickly organized by Lesley as she was able to choose clean, neutral tones to keep the house flowing room to room in preparation for sale. Thank you for your professional and speedy help!

Valerie Pilgrim:
So I HAD TO MOVE! I had been putting off selling my condo because I have some medical conditions, and very little energy, I had 11 years of life accumulated in my closets,cupboards, bookshelves,storage room ect.. and just the mere thought of HOW I was going to manage all the "stuff" was overwhelming me. My realtor referred me to Val. Within a day,Val was there assessing what needed done, within 2 days she was working on my place, I don't think I've ever seen anyone move so quickly. Within the first 8 hours she had all my closets and "Stuff" neatly packed up, labled and ready to go to storage. Day 2..she and her crew moved the stuff to storage, staged and cleaned and left the place looking like a showhome. It was amazing! and it sold in 4 days.there's nothing like the combination of a great realtor and a great staging job to get the place sold. Now I'm telling my friends about Val.Thanks Val! you helped me through what could have been a very stressful time and did it with style!

Celine Paquin:
Ottawa, 16 juin 2009, Chere Celine Je veux te remercier pour l'excellent travail que tu as fait pour nous. Je ne peux trop louer ton professionnalisme : tu etais toujours la a temps et tu as tenu toutes tes promesses. Quant a ton travail de staging, nous en sommes tres satisfaits. Tes choix de couleurs et tes conseils nous ont permis de rajeunir la maison a peu de frais. Nous avons grandement apprecie ton devouement et ton talent. Merci aussi pour ton support moral qui nous a ete tres precieux. Vendre une maison qu'on a habitee pendant un grand nombre d'annees, est tres difficile. Tu as compris nos etats d'ame et tu nous as facilite la tache. En somme, nous sommes bien contents d'avoir retenu tes services. Ton staging a fait toute une difference : nous avons vendu notre maison EN DEUX JOURS et AU PRIX DEMANDE SANS DISCUSSION. C'est vraiment extraordinaire. Merci encore! Florence et Aurele Daigle 49, Roundhay Drive Ottawa, Nepean Cette maison s'est vendue en deux jours au prix demande initialement et sans aucune discussion.

Emilia Rees:
Dear Emilia: Wow! Your advice on everything from paint colours to furniture placement to what to display in the china cabinet really worked. My house sold for several thousand dollars over the asking price, just a day after its first open house. Thanks so much. I couldn't have done it without Design to Sell.
