Thanks, Lori **★★★★★ — dabbledoo, Aug. 2021** > Lori beautifully furnished my condominium when I listed it for sale. The pieces were carefully selected to appeal to the buyer I am targeting. The furnishings maximized the use of space while maintaining an open appearance with just the right touch of accessories. > > Lori was prompt at arriving at my home and put together the paperwork to quickly provide the furnishings I needed to list my property.

It was a pleasure staging your condo and working with you. The changes look amazing and it was a wonderful transformation. Best of luck in the sale of the condo. Lori Carbone Spaces That Speak Home Staging **★★★★★ — Gail Fabrikant, Sept. 2020** > Honestly, I am not even sure where to begin my review. Lori has been my rock throughout an entire sprucing up of a property that I needed to list for a client. As a client's realtor I need to have someone I can count on to help sellers make the right upgrades and clean- outs in order to enhance a home's value and desirability. I contacted Lori pre-pandemic knowing she could handle such a big home and job. She had great ideas and made spot-on recommendations for work that needed to be done. Then the pandemic hit. We continued to communicate by phone and even FaceTime. Once we were able to continue the project in person (socially distant of course) we ventured out to appliance outlets, lumber and stone yards, hardware stores and SO, SO much more! We spent at least four hours together just on one trip to purchase the home's door handles (no exaggeration)! I was able to finish the upgrade of my seller's home by mid-August. Then Lori staged the home to perfection! LOVE HER!!! **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Thank you Gail for your positive review and recommendation, It was a pleasure to work with you on the Mahwah home renovation, interior decorating and staging your $million plus home. It was an amazing transformation and I'm so happy to hear all the positive feedback you received from realtors, clients and home buyers and excellent results, it selling so quickly for you. I look forward to working with you on more projects in the future. > thanks, Lori **★★★★★ — Beth Foley Barnes, April 2020** > I am a believer after working with Lori on our home. We reached out over email and received a detailed list of action items for re-staging our home. Our home was on the market for two years with no offers. We implemented Spaces that Speak action plan over two weeks and I wish I had done it sooner. The transformation was beautiful and logical but I had never seen it before. We re-opened our house for showings and received an offer above asking prince after the first showing. The second showing was a competitive bid. We are moving towards closing. **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Thank you Beth for your positive review of our virtual staging action plan/recommendations and the resulting successful outcome. I am so happy you received an offer so quickly after you implemented the changes. Best of luck in your new home. Thanks Lori **★★★★★ — HU-830096580, April 2020** > My house looked amazing after Lori staged it. Her little tips & ideas made all the difference. Thanks Lori for a wonderful job. **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Hi Kathy, > Thank you. I am so happy you are pleased with the home staging results. Great news about you receiving multiple offers so quickly. > Thanks > Lori **★★★★★ — Nancy Riggs, Feb. 2020** > Lori is FABULOUS! I called Lori from Wisconsin to help my Dad stage his condo in NY, I was stressed beyond belief, being so far away! She spent so much time with me on the phone, and put me at ease quickly! I sent her pictures of each room and she told me what my dad needed to thin out in each room, she kept in touch daily with me, sent me pictures of all receipts, and the before and after were AMAZING! It was such a relief to know Lori was going to take care of everything for the staging, she told me not to worry she had it all under control and did she ever! Not only is Lori phenomenal at staging and decorating, but she is kind, helpful and sincere. All I wanted to do was hug her when she was done because everything turned out beautiful! **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Hi Nancy, > Thanks for your amazing review! It was a pleasure to work with you( long distance) and your dad. I am so happy I could help shop for items needed, style, stage and transform your dad's NY condominium. It was a pleasure to work with both of you. > Thanks, Lori **★★★★★ — Brian Ryu, Feb. 2020** > Lori is very professional and detail oriented. She knows exactly which colors and furniture to choose for every part of the space. She made the home look very spacious, modern and bright. I will definitely work with her again. **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Hi Brian, (Prostar Properties-Realtor) > Thank you for taking the time to write a review of my staging services. > I am happy that you are pleased with the results. The new wall colors, furniture, artwork, and accessories made an amazing transformation to the space. I look forward to working with you on future projects. > thanks Lori **★★★★★ — Nils Bertelsen, Jan. 2020** > Because I knew Lori, I recommended her and her company to a client of mine for the staging of a New Listing in the mid $700,000's in Wyckoff. The staging was done exquisitely, and the colors and choices blended perfectly with our paint colors and flooring. Staging received many positive comments as well from the dozens of customers who attended our Public Open House. Great job Lori and you will absolutely positively be recommended by me again in the future. Thank you!!.....Nils **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Hi Nils, > I am so glad you were happy with my home staging service in your Wyckoff listing. Thank you for the kind review of my work. It was a pleasure to work with you and Burt to stage the property to attract the target buyer. I look forward to working with you again. > Thanks > Lori **★★★★★ — Beth Baculis, Dec. 2019** > Being a first time homeowner, selling a house was new territory. Our realtor discussed the benefits of staging our house, as it helps people sell houses faster, and recommended Lori from Spaces that Speak. At first I thought "maybe I can google everything I could possibly need to know," and I did learn quite a bit from my research. But I was still feeling overwhelmed with packing, cleaning and preparing the house. We decided to book a consultation so I could feel more confident with the appointment for our listing pictures fast approaching. I had no idea what I signed up for, and when I attempted to explain my vision, all my nervousness and inexperience seeped out. Lori was spectacular at calming me down. She was thorough, explaining the reasoning behind each of the several techniques and tricks she shared. She took the time to show me examples of different projects and decor. Her attention to detail was impeccable, pointing out numerous ways to improve the staging with decor and furniture that I already owned. At the end of the day, I only had to buy a couple of fake plants and white towels, saving a lot of money. By the end of the consultation, I felt more confident with a clear plan and to-do list created. I highly recommend Lori to anyone, whether they need direction staging a house for sale or simply want an expert to transform their house into one that "speaks." **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Thank you Beth for your kind words. I am so happy I could relieve the stress that comes with selling and preparing your home for sale. I appreciate your recommendation. > Thanks, > Lori **★★★★★ — HU-552653893, Sept. 2019** > As a first time user of home staging, I needed assistance with preparing my home for sale. I searched online for home staging and decorating options to find Spaces That Speak on Houzz website. I love all of the ideas presented and implemented as what could usually be a stressful process. Yet, Lori at Spaces That Speak made this journey exciting and fun! I am terrible at imagining how a room could look and amazed at how beautifully my home came together! **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Thank you very much for the great review of my home staging service. It was a pleasure to help you stage your home to attract the target buyer. Yes, and it was a fun project too! > Thanks > Lori **★★★★★ — Dolores Picone, April 2019** > Dear Lori, just wanted to tell you how satisfied we are with your services. The property was on the market for about two months before we thought to stage it. Our deposit on the property came in two weeks and now we are ready to close. Your name says it all."SPACES THAT SPEAK" > the space did speak and a buyer heard it. Thanks so much, you are a true professional. > Look forward to working with you again. Regards Dolores **Comment from SPACES THAT SPEAK HOME STAGING:** > Hi Dolores, (Terrace Picone Lee Realty), > Thank you so very much for your kind words and wonderful review of my staging. I am so glad you and your client are thrilled and the property sold quickly. It was a pleasure to work with you and your client. I look forward to working together again. > Thanks, > Lori ## Selected projects - [MAHWAH, BERGEN COUNTY NJ RENOVATION AND STAGE](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/mahwah-bergen-county-nj-renovation-and-stage-pj-vj~6411345) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 9 - Description: Mahwah NJ Home worked with home owner to renovate home , including select all lighting fixtures, appliances, tile, granite, fireplace surrounds, door and cabinet hardware etc then upon renovation completion staged home to sell to target audience.
