This was our first experience utilizing the services of a stager and we were not sure what the result would be. Our realtor suggested Rachel Borrelli and from the moment she stepped into the condo we knew we had made a great decision. During our initial consultation Rachel gave us multiple tips on how to prepare the condo from paint, to lighting, to kitchen upgrade suggestions. Once the renovations were complete Rachel took care of everything regarding staging for sale. We live a province away from the condo so were really at the mercy of the service providers we chose during this process and Rachel topped the list. Not only did she get everything setup beautifully, and in a timely manner, but after the setup she would check in regularly to make sure everything was still looking great. Our realtor actually called one day to say that he ran into Rachel at the condo and she was dusting! The pride in her craft was very obvious and, knowing that we were not around to check in after a week of viewings, she took it upon herself to ensure that pride continued to stand out. My favorite part, the return! We positioned the price on our condo over 10% higher than anything else currently in the complex. Our realtor was confident in the work we had done and how Rachel would present it. In the end we got a home that showed well in pictures and in person, generated lots of activity and ultimately sold four times faster than the average in the complex and at a price we were extremely happy with. For anyone selling a home I would definitely recommend staging it and the only call I would make is to Rachel. The process of selling a home has many moving parts and requires a lot of information that you don't typically have access to. Staging a property with Rachel does not just get you items put into your home. It adds a true real estate professional to your team that can guide you to a successful sale! Thanks Rachel!!

"Rachel is absolutely wonderful to work with. Her design knowledge on staging our house sold our house within a few days of being on the market (during a time when selling a house was not easy to do). I hesitated at the suggestion of hiring a designer/stager at first due to the cost, but in the end she saved us a huge amount of money because she took the experimenting and guess work out of the process. Both my husband and I were also amazed at how quickly she made our new home into our dream home using furniture and decorations we already had, while also suggesting a few pieces that could be added. She gave us the confidence we needed to feel good in our new home and inspired us to have the exact look we envisioned. Next time we need design advice of any kind we will not hesitate to call her, in fact I look forward to working with her again.

"Rachel was referred to us through our realtor, and with her help our house sold in one day. She has a great eye for making the space you have look it's best either by rearranging or using decorative pieces we already had, or making suggestions of what to add or take away to make the room look better. Rachel has a great sense of style, and I look forward to working with her again when we are in our new house. I would highly recommend getting Rachel's expertise whether you are redecorating or planning to stage your home."

“Recently we were faced with the challenge of selling our home due to a professional transfer. There was some urgency to getting our home marketed and sold. Our Realtor, a very experienced and competent professional, suggested that we consider the services of Rachael to assess our home and offer suggestions related to the appearance. Rachael attended our home and did a very thorough critique. During this process I can only describe her as professional, gracious, and creative. The written recommendations that we received from Rachael were followed to the letter and I have to say our home took on a different atmosphere. After 5 showings it was sold. I was amazed at the effectiveness of the service Rachael provided. I highly recommend that anyone wanting to effectively market their home use the services provided by Rachael.” Best Regards

Diversa Designs recently staged our character home which resides in one of Calgary’s sought after inner city community. The house was built in 1914. Our interior décor quite out dated. Rachel the founder of Diversa Designs came in and helped us transform our interior and move us to the 21st century style but still kept the original charm. After the staging was completed, we were ecstatic by the contemporary selection of furniture, accessories, and art work which made our household feel cleaner, spacious, and modern. Rachel literally transformed our master bedroom from a roadside motel to a 5 star luxury hotel style. We recommend Diversa Designs home staging talents to anyone who’s looking to create an endless traffic buzz for a professional home interior design and décor projects. In Gratitude,

"Rachel at Diversa Designs was fantastic to work with and certainly a key component to getting my condo sold in a very slow market. I showed her the place and she took care of everything else. The place looked amazing after she was done with it and to top it all off she worked with me to incorporate some of my own furniture to keep costs down. Would gladly recommend her to anyone in need of staging or design services."

Thank you thank you thank you!!! How hard can it be to pick a colour? Why would I pay someone to tell me what I like? Well....... I always thought that I had good taste in decor and colours but after a few 'mishaps' with what i thought would work, I became afraid to commit to changing the colours on my walls. I knew, like before, I would have to live with it for at least 5 years!!! (10 if my husband had his way) I decided to enlist the help of Rachel from Diversa Designs. She is truly amazing. What my eye was drawn to was definitely not the right choice. I don't see the undertones and all the other factors that I should take into account and would never have thought of. Rachel listened to what I liked and looked at the 'overall' picture and I ended up with the colours and the 'feel' that I LOVE! It's the subtle changes that I would never have been able to see on my own! Thank you Rachel (and my husband thanks you too )

We were introduced to Rachel by our realtor. We instantly felt comfortable with Rachel and were very pleased with the look she gave our home. After the staging we did not recognize our home and we liked the outcome. The house had an updated and inviting appeal. Our house was listed on a Saturday morning and had 4 offers that evening. It sold very quickly for more than the asking price. Well worth the investment. Thanks Rachel. Sincerely, Diane
