Leah, I would like to take a moment to let you know what a pleasure it was to work with you. You were able to explain ahead of time the changes you would place in our home for staging purposes and although I could not see your vision at the time, what you did made an obvious impact on our home for the better. We were able to put our home on the market on a Monday and received an offer that very evening!

We made the decision to use home staging during this process because we owned a town home that looked very much the same as everything else in the complex. We felt we needed an edge in this trying market and you assisted us in achieving exactly that. The offer we received was $10,000 above what the previous unit sold for and that unit was the mirror image of what we had on the market. You made our home look appealing to the largest market and yet we still felt very much like it was ours and comfortable for us to be in. Thank you again for taking such a vested interest in our home. It made a difference and I would certainly use your services in the future.

BEFORE: Living Room before ReDesign, conversation area felt cramped and the room small

AFTER: Living Room after ReDesign – “Space is beauty.” Restyling opened up room and created opportunity to appreciate the beauty of the room and the serene view.

 

Dear Leah,

Thank you so much for the amazing job you did staging our townhouse in Port Moody. Although we felt wewere priced to sell, this slow uncertain market was a cause for concern.

After the initial consultation I cleared the decks as you directed and when you and your assistant arrived I was astonished as you transformed my house into a spacious, beautiful showplace – and using only our stuff.

To our delight the very first people who viewed our house made an offer and after a short negotiation we had a deal. And you gave me lots of great ideas for placing our stuff when we get to our new home in Campbell River.

Great job and worth every penny.

Hi Leah – I can’t remember if I had a chance to say thanx for emailing the photos. The place looked great when it was done and we sold it in a day after that. Presentation still rules!!! Thanx again for all your help.

Hello Leah, Just want to drop you a quick line to say a huge “thank you” for a job very well done.

My house opened for sale on Aug 01, 2008. The first couple who walked through put down a bid for it the same evening. They had been searching for about three months, and they said they “fell in love at first sight” with the house!

Considering the state of the housing market, which is evident from the number of “for sale” signs up in my area as well as from the news reports about the cooling BC real estate market; I thought I was very very lucky.

You must have created some magic in my home and I thank you once again. I would not have known where to start my preparations to sell if it wasn’t for you.

Leah is wonderful to work with, she has an eye for detail, passion and her love of design shows through in her work. She is honest, hard working and committed to get the job done perfectly!

Leah’s home staging brought out the best features of our condo. She offered excellent advice on renovations and other upgrades prior to sale, focusing on cost-effective changes with a big impact.

Working primarily with our own items, supplemented by her accessories, she arranged everything ‘just so.’ Her careful placement of furniture and objets d’art made buyers take notice!

We plan to have her design team back when we move into our new house too.

Leah’s home-staging skills were a tremendous advantage for my client whose condo sold recently.

Her overall concept, additions to the home and attention to detail created a fantastic first visual impression for customers previewing it in-person or on the web.

By staging it beautifully, it was very easy for people to imagine themselves living there and I truly believe that Leah’s efforts made a huge difference in the sale of the home.

With so much competition in the Vancouver real estate market, it’s very important to have your property remembered amongst the competition – and I can say with confidence, that Leah’s services did just that. I look forward to working with Leah again in the future and recommend her to others looking to sell their home quickly and for the most money.

Leah always has great ideas and shows great insight. Colours, trends and practical changes are what you can expect.

Leah: We would like to thank you so much for the wonderful staging of our house before it went on the market.

We were totally impressed with your professionalism, your efficiency and your attention to detail. We would not have been able to pull together all that was required, without your able assistance. The speed with which you were able to contact the different trades and get the job done was amazing.

We accepted multiple offers after the first Open House. We settled on a price $19,000 over our asking price. We feel very strongly that the ease and success of the sale was directly due to the extra attention you were able to give to our home. We will certainly be interested in engaging your talents to help us decorate our new home. Thank you again.
