I was so impressed with how quick you were able to complete the job! No wonder it sold so quickly! Thanks so much!

Suzanne Ethier:
Thank you doesn’t say nearly enough for what Suzanne and Real Appeal did for us in helping to get our home ready for sale. Having purchased a new home with a condition on the sale of our house, we were in a rush to get ours listed as soon as possible. Suzanne contacted us within hours of hearing that we had to list soon. She arrived here the following day ready to provide us with tips and suggestions to get our home ready to entice the perfect buyer for our house. She explained what we would need to do in a simple, step-by-step manner and remained professional yet friendly at all times.
We had decided to remain open-minded and to do exactly what was asked of us to get the home ready seeing as we were pressed for time to firm up on the other house. We figured that since it was our first time selling a house, we were better off to take the suggestions and run with them seeing as Suzanne had more experience than us with what buyers are looking for. Suzanne was never critical of what was here – she merely took out the “personal” extras and added neutral accessories to allow the buyer to see themselves potentially living in this house as their own. Wow! Our home looked like a model home when they were done. Although it was lots of work over a 2-day period, I couldn’t believe the transformation in our home . . . the bonus is that we are already half packed for our moving day!
Suzanne’s helpful and professional demeanor turned a very stressful situation into a manageable, feasible task that paid off immediately. We had our first firm offer less than 48 hours after listing! Suzanne, we couldn’t have done it without your help . . . thank you, thank you, thank you!

Patricia Byron English:
Our house first went on the market in the spring. We didn’t have any purchase offers, and by autumn we had to move leaving our house vacant. We didn’t want to do this because our agent told us our house would loose value if shown empty. He recommended Patricia from Style Sells Home Staging. She chose new paint colors and then set the house up with her rental things so that it looked lived in and cared for. We soon had a good offer on our house which we accepted.
My wife and I went to see Patricia’s work before the closing date and were impressed by it. We are sure it helped sell the house. We very much wish that we had known Patricia in the spring, because if she had done her work in the beginning I believe that our house would have sold promptly and for more money. We highly recommend Patricia to anyone selling a house.

"Hi Lachelle: It was a real pleasure meeting and talking with you Friday. You were punctual and professional at our meeting and I appreciate your rapid reponse with bids on all three scenarios. Also, it did not escape me as to what time you emailed that bids to me. Thank you very much." - Lyman Menger, Realty World Neighbors, San Leandro, vacant, May 2008

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the absolutely outstanding job that CSP performed in staging my home. The transformation in each of the rooms was truly amazing. With only the use of items currently in my home, it was transformed into a “show home”. I have no doubt that this was the major contributing factor to our home selling within two (2) weeks of being listed. The number of showings was non-stop. I never knew our home could look so good. I was also impressed with the care that your representatives used in packing our goods and the meticulous labeling, coding and indexing that was done for the packed items. As these items would eventually require packing, it’s a bonus to have this done ahead of time.
I would highly recommend your services to anyone that is in the process of selling their home.
Again, thank you for taking the stress out of preparing my house for sale!
Sincerely,
JoAnne L.

Catherine Brown from “Staged to Move” has done a terrific job of promoting our home in London. She has gone beyond the job in organizing in timely and very efficient manner painters, trash removal and the “staging of the home”.
Her suggestions and help were indispensable given I reside in Kitchener. I could not have done the project without her and fully recommend her to anyone selling their home.
Sincerely,
~ Donna Breadner, Kitchener, ON
Marzenna Zygmunt:
Never underestimate the power of staging. It should be an integral part of getting your house ready for sale. Today, more than ever, buyers are savvy in what is available on the market at any given moment. Thats why it is crucial to make the best first impression possible. Marzenna is a natural when it comes to making the most out of any space. Her passion is transforming the most unsellable properties into gorgeous spaces that buyers fall in love with. I would not list a home before seeking her advice in how to make the most of a home and, therefore, adding value to the bottom line for sellers.
~ Joanna Smieja, Royal LePage Meadowtowne
Shirley Jadowski:
Spruce It Up says it all! You both did an amazing job preparing our home to sell. We plan on using your move in service for our new home.
~ R. Nelson, Osgoode, Ontario
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.

Kathy
After having our home on the market for a couple of months, we decided to have it staged by Kathy. Within 2 weeks, it was sold.
Kathy is professional, energetic, creative and gets the job done! Thanks for everything Kathy.

Martha Stanton-Smith:
Martha and Bev did a fantastic job with staging my house. I came back to find it transformed. What's more, the house sold after only one day on the market, with multiple offers and above the asking price! I don't think we'd have had that result without the work Martha put in to make the house look so good. Overall a great experience.

Dena Hartling:
As a professional home builder, I want potential buyers to feel at home the moment they walk through the front door. To do so, presentation of the home is critical. That is where Dena Hartling of DLT Staging and Design comes in. Dena is a true expert on Home Staging. I am always impressed by her willingness to meet my deadlines and time constraints, and the positive results we achieve in a very short time frame. The comments I receive back from the realtors and home buyers were that they were wowed by their first impressions, and that our house was the best in it's price range. Dena highlights the home's best features and creates an ambience that makes buyers instantly feel at home. Dena is a pleasure to work with, and I am always impressed with the results. Thank-You Dena.

Maureen Henderson:
We are busy professionals who needed urgent help to sell our home on a tight deadline. Maureen gave us excellent direction and with a strict budget transformed our house in less than a week...and we didnt have to lift a finger. We had a complete update including new lighting and a new powder room, all of which was personally supervised by Maureen. Our house, which was in a higher than average price range, sold in less than a week in a very tight market. Remarkable. Our house looked so good we were reluctant to leave. Great vision, excellent common sense and easy to work with...we would have no hesitation seeking Maureens help again, or recommending her to anyone else.

Susi Pereira:
Susi and Deb were an absolute delight to have in my home. They put the professional in professional organizing! They surely helped me de-clutter and pack up my remaining belongings so that my move will go much more smoothly. They made the prospect of downsizing to a 606 sq foot condo from a 1400 sq ft home a much less daunting task. Susi and Deb were also very apt at redirecting me when I began to become overwhelmed. They were organized and definitely helped me stay motivated throughout the process.
I thought that Susi's ideas for organizing my home once I move in very helpful, and she kept recommended purchases for organizing items well within my meager budget.
Thank you Susi and Deb, I couldn't have done it without you! I look forward to working with you again in future.
I recommend your services to everyone I know who is downsizing, moving or just want to de-clutter; in fact I have already recommeded your services to my parents!

Thanks for the pictures. They're amazing. It's really awesome to see the before and after, it's impressive.
~ Jamie, Caledon
Jan Saunders-Maresh:
After seeing the staging process -- at the very least -- I would encourage a consultation before anyone sells their home. My home was on the market for over a year before staging it and in contract within 60 days after staging it ... incredible.
~ Tom C., Camas, WA
Maria Aitkenhead:
Thanks to Maria, our home was transformed into a haven, we didn't know what to do with our things but Maria was able to determine what was needed and help get rid of the things that were not. We feel much better about our home now then we did before.
~ Anna Beckett, Cambridge
Michelle Finnamore:
Most country properties with horse boarding facilities take between 6 months and a year to sell. After using you to Stage the listing the property sold in 102 days. Fantastic results!

"Thank you very much for the beautiful pictures and for the beautiful staging! Some of our friends have already seen our "new" home, and they loved it!"
