While the team was genuinely lovely to deal with, professional, responsive, and great customer service throughout, we were ultimately disappointed with the staging itself. > > The initial setup was sparse. Our agent actually had to purchase additional items just to fill the space adequately. When we raised our concerns, the team did return and add a few more pieces, which we appreciated. However, the feedback we consistently received from potential buyers was that the furniture felt outdated and the staging didn't match the style of the home. > > One thing that was not made clear upfront: each rental term is only 30 days. This is important information for any seller to know before signing, as it directly affects your timeline and budget. > > We did sell, but the experience was frustrating. When a company comes recommended by your agent, you expect the result to reflect your home in its best light. The people are great, we just wish the product matched their service. **★★★★★ — Cara Gibbons, Oct. 2018** > Lucy has been a huge help to me as I prepared to sell my late mother's house. She is a delight to work with and is very good at what she does. The house looks amazing! She provided great value, and made suggestions to me on how to keep my costs down while emptying and preparing the house for sale. Her recommendations for service providers were excellent, and her contractor Mel deserves special mention for really going above and beyond. I really don't know what I would have done without Lucy and the Staging and Design House. I'm thankful to have been referred to her. **Comment from The Staging and Design House:** > Cara, thank you so much for your kind words !! So glad our team could be there to assist with getting your late mothers property ready for the market. > > Thank you for being such an awesome client and so open to change with our recommendations and suggestions . > > Have a lovely day ! > Lucy **★★★★★ — HU-998773355, Oct. 2018** > Lucy was an absolute gem! She was very helpful and knowledgeable during the initial staging walkthrough. Her opinions and suggestions were expressed tactfully and she was attentive when we expressed our opinions and concerns. In the end our house looked fabulous...almost had second thoughts about moving Haha! We were reminded about what we loved about the house when we first purchased it. Thanks to Lucy our house was conditionally sold after 1 day! We highly recommend Lucy from The Staging and Design House! **Comment from The Staging and Design House:** > Thank you so much Micheal and Diane, you were both a pleasure to work with .

My clients are simply enamoured with the results. The project was extremely cost effective compared to the outstanding results.
