Lori Pedersen Home Staging+Styling

DEFINITELY WORK WITH LORI - OUTSTANDING WORK AND SERVICE My wife and I have developed a strong relationship with Lori over the past several months. Lori and her team completely gutted and renovated the house my wife and I bought. To start - Lori's work is exceptional. The renovations and stagings were absolutely gorgeous. Lori is incredibly talented! More importantly though, Lori clearly cares about people and invests in them just like her work. She's been absolutely world class to work with an provided services above and beyond what we'd ever expect or was demanded of her. Examples of Lori's outstanding service include: 1. Continuing to partner and accommodate on small repairs and repairs before moving/after moving in 2. Once we bought the house Lori made a point of coming to meet us in person. She walked us around the house, answered questions and gave us a very generous and beautiful house warming gift. My wife and I thought that was an incredibly special touch. 3. Continued e

Lori charged $495 plus tax for the first meeting about the furnishing of a house. The end product consisted of the budget for the furniture, recommendations, and the budget for her own works. No designs or even style ideas were presented. Almost signing the contract we saw that not all of her future work was estimated in the budget. It looked like a 15% design fee on top of the furniture at first... But when we asked to do only the first stage, with fewer rooms, the furniture budget duly decreased twice, but her design works estimate stayed the same $3000, now amounting to 30%. When asked about this, she first responded that the budget did decrease for the smaller scope. I had to review the emails to demonstrate to her that in fact, it didn't. Then she admitted the mistake but shrugged off the issue as minor and hasn't offered any compensation or correction. I complained about this way of dealing and then she refused to work further and offered a refund of $65 out of $495.

Working with Lori and her team was incredible. From the minute we began the entire process was easy and hands off for us. The final product was not only better that we expected, it created a desired wow effect with elegance. The experience with you and your team from start to finish has been excepcional service in all ways. We will continue to highly recommend your services to friends and colleagues in the Toronto area that can use your type of assistance.

Lori is an extremely hard working person who take a great deal of pride in the work she does. Her clients are very important to her she cares for them dearly and expects nothing but the best results for them. Her professional approach to design and styling has made her a very well respected expert in her filed. It is also easy to work with Lori she is very easy to understand and makes sure the end goal is her clients satisfaction.

We are loving our newly renovated home. Even as we put up the Christmas tree for the first time in this space and add some decorations from room to room, I find myself wondering how Lori would do it. So our daughter created a new saying: WWLD. What Would Lori Do! LOL. I love the new art Lori suggested that is a perfect combination of colors to blend the rooms together. I've really appreciated how Lori helped me use the very traditional furniture that I had already and then add decor and furniture arrangement to update the look to a more transitional style. I'm really happy with the outcome and I also valued the quality of referrals to other trades that she brought into the mix. We are happy customers and will gladly refer Lori Pedersen Home Staging + Styling to friends!

We needed to sell our home quick and for a good price because we had already committed to buying a new home. We found Lori through Google and she came with a ton of good reviews. She certainly didn't disappoint! She suggested a new colour to our hallway that brightened our home and made it more attractive to a wider audience. She brought in finishing pieces that pulled the home together. She gave us a list of to-dos which we followed religiously and we can see how it transformed the space. She even set our couch is a certain way that we've never thought of doing for 10 years and it certainly looks better for it. We sold our house after the first open house. Her process is efficient and kind. Her pricing is worth every penny. Would highly recommend anyone who's looking to maximize the value for the sale of your home.

Lori and her team amazed my clients with their professionalism, advice and staging. All of Lori’s recommendations were bang on! The transformation was incredible and the home shows beautifully. I needed this home to stand out from the others listed on the same street and Lori did just that!

As a Realtor that focuses on a lot on design, we chose Lori and her team based on their ability to execute our design plans and feel. We had a larger 4 bedroom property that needed the entire home staged on a short time period. Along with Lori + team's help, we were able to finish the whole job including all of the minor reno work that we planned for on time for the client's listing date. We were able to sell for $40k more than another comparable property with the same layout. We spent about $20k (including the staging portion) and got about double our investment back for our client. Thanks Lori!

Lori has been staging my listings for the last 3 years. She helps make my life much easier and my listings sell faster! She is such a professional and I truly never have to worry about any details once I make the first phone call. Most recently she staged a modern farmhouse in the country for me. The house was totally vacant to start and Lori and her team staged it from top to bottom. I couldn’t be happier!!

Sold over asking price. Awesome staging consultation and styling experience within 2 weeks. The styling matched the house and was well appreciated by all interested bidders.

If you want to work with a company that is organized, professional, efficient, has integrity, delivers what they commit to, is flexible and really pleasant to deal with, look no further. Even though the real estate market was slow and packed with inventory, our place sold within one week of listing. Sonya and her team did a five star job and I am so glad I followed their advice for prepping and hired them for staging. I will definitely hire them again. Highly recommended.

Lori staged my country home project and I was amazing by the styling and the orderly fashion the entire process was... This has given us a boost in confidence in the pricing we will achieve with this. Every showing we have had thus far has left potential buyers speechless in what the house has transformed into after the staging. I will always be looking for Lori in my new home and my next reno projects! Jeff Risi

Lori Pedersen and her Staging Team are true Professionals! I am a Realtor in the Aurora/Newmarket area, and not only have I recommended Lori Pedersen for staging my client homes, BUT I have recently hired her for completely staging a project of my own! Keep up the great work Lori, and the LP Home Staging Team!

I have had the opportunity to work with Lori and her team over the years. I have never been disappointed nor have my clients. Very professional. They even take the lead when require and eliminate pressure on me so I can work on other things. Always looking for the next project we can complete together.

This team of stagers gave us helpful and easy to follow instructions. They were timely, hard working, pleasant and most importantly, effective....our house sold in 3 days! They really went all out and it paid off!

After Lori came in and did her stage work it made us want to hire her again to help us set up our next home. From furniture placement to artwork and paint colours. She has a good eye and can make a home emotionally appealing, comfortable, and elegant. Thanks again Lori much appreciated!

Love Love Love!!! Thank you Lori! You knew how much my renovation meant to me and you have helped bring my home into something I have wanted for quite some time. Today was the icing on the cake with the Living room furniture! I think I floated out of the store! You brought life, elegance and warmth back into my home and I could not have achieved this with just anyone. You are truly a shining star!! I know first hand the magic you bring to staging properties and not surprisingly you exceeded my expectations with my home. Your thoughtfulness, kindness and professionalism surpasses anyone I have ever met. I cannot say enough good things about this lovely lady!

Lori and her team did a fantastic job making our incredible Property Transformation look even more beautiful. Great work Lori Pedersen Home Staging & Styling!!!

I hired Lori to stage a home for the sale of a Lakeside property at 7 Barrie Terrace, Barrie. The home was beautiful, but needed a "wow" factor. I liked the fact the Lori left the home owner with a list of things to do, on the spot. She returned with a crew, furnishings and decorative items. The house was transformed in one day, and sold for full price. Looking forward to our next staging project at another Barrie Lakeside Residence.

There is much to say about Lori. She is an active listener and was able to interpret my needs. She respected my personal style and was able to elevate it to a new level. The end result was a transformation that left me in complete delight. In the world of styling, this was a small job, but it was a very big deal to me and I could not be more satisfied. In fact, I feel pretty joyous about my 'new' decor and I recommend her with unbridled enthusiasm.

As a realtor with Royal LePage Signature, it was a delight working with Lori on a recent listing. She first provided a clear and concise report of things to complete prior to putting the home on the market. She then staged the home perfectly to highlight the property's best features, and ultimately created a wonderful transformation that showcased the home's full potential to buyers. Lori was efficient, enthusiastic and professional. It was a very positive experience for both myself and my clients, and contributed to getting the highest price in the neighbourhood for that type of home. Lori's staging was a valuable piece in my marketing strategy.

Lori is really great in her work. My house looked good before staging. But after staging it looked something else. It was a spectacular work all together. To describe in one word. it was pure "Magic". My property generated lot of interest and got sold above asking price. I strongly recommend Lori

Lori is fantastic and presenting a home to maximize its purpose whether that be for sale or everyday use! I trust her implicitly to work with my clients and decorate my own home. Without making significant changes to a property Lori is able to bring out its best!

Lori was contacted to help setup our new home: -living and dining area in particular -laundry room -walk-in closet in the bedroom - blinds and draperies for the windows Lori provided excellent suggestions and ideas(especially making the maximum out of a smaller space), took measurements and assured us she would get back to us with the quote.(already got the quote for the window treatments) Lori was: -punctual -easy to interact -professional -patient

I hired Lori after seeing her beautiful work on a home tour, last winter. Lori is highly professional, arrives on time and her creativity was exactly what my house needed. I wanted someone to help me bring my own personality to my house. I also needed someone who could bridge between my husband and I's very different style preferences. Lori helped us turn our house into a home; she is very resourceful and has excellent ideas that are followed through on or before the date she says they will be done. We stayed on budget and her stylish eye helped me select patterns and colours I would not have been drawn to but completely love. My house has flow, with pops of personality and is more then what I was hoping for.

Lori is a true professional stager and design expert. I found Lori on Houzz and she responded promptly and was easy to talk and work with. She did a complete walk through of my home, took photos and we completed the paperwork to proceed. She sourced a few lighting fixtures that were perfect and recommended her own trades to help us with various tasks at hand. She and her team returned to complete the staging which was done in half a day. The decor items provided were perfect additions to our home and the final touches the icing on the cake! Our home sold in 3 weeks for near asking price.

Lori Pedersen is a unique professional in many ways. Her consummate passion for the work she does is only exceeded by her desire to provide excellent service to her clients. She is always professional, courteous, respectful, ethical, honorable and constantly striving to exceed client expectations. I have no qualms at all recommending her for any project she accepts. You will be very fortunate to have her work on your project

Lory is a very professional designer. She can use her mind to change your home more cozy and comfortable. We co-op many times and my clients are very satisfied. The point is her decoratation is very valuable for the property sale. Daren

I have been working with Lori for a few years. I have been photographing for real estate business for over 10 years. I have over 500 clients and shot over 10,000 houses. Lori is a greatest interior designer and stager I ever worked with. She is so talent. She can use very simple decoration stuff to create dramatic result. She does amazing job all the time. I extremely like her work. Victor Wei from Toronto

I'm working on a second floor renovation. Our initial meeting went great. She took "before" photos and we discussed colours and ways to revamp my dark wood and very dated furniture. I wanted to keep the furniture but also needed a change. She was great in sending me ideas, photos and leads via email shortly after our meeting. She has me so motivated and inspired. Can't wait to see the "after" pictures! Highly recommended and reasonable rates.

Lori was recommended to me by my realtor last year when I needed to stage my house for selling. With her expert help we were able to sell our home quickly. She then assisted me in packing up my house (could have been a very stressful time) in a very efficient manner. When we took possession of our new home, I hired Lori to help with the design of renovating the entire house. It is now a work in progress and with her help, I'm loving every minute. I will also have Lori help me move into my new home as well. She is extremely knowledgeable, courteous, on point, conscientious and contactable. I have no hesitation to recommend Lori and her team.

We LOVED working with Lori on our master bathroom, bedroom and walk in closet renovation. She made what could have been a daunting task an actual fun and creative process. Her enthusiasm, creative vision and innovative ideas made the end result a resounding success - we LOVE our reno! We actually hired Lori again for our second bathroom renovation which was just recently completed and are thrilled again with the result. We would highly recommend Lori to anyone ......she was AMAZING!!!!

I've worked with many Stagers over the past 20 years, and while some are good, I can honestly say that Lori is among the best in the business. She clearly takes her business seriously as she is always expanding her knowledge to remain up-to-date with the times. She has a flare for design and creativity. And her personal service to clients is unparalleled. She makes every client feel like her most important client. I have referred many of my clients to her and every single one has been over-the-top happy with her services. And of course the results of her work is amazing as every listing she has ever staged for me has sold faster (than if not staged) and for much more money than if it were to be presented to the market without Lori's magic touch, staging, and styling expertise.

I hired Lori Pedersen to stage a house I had for sale in Richmond Hill. It was evident watching her work that she has vast experience staging a house to look like a home potential buyers would see themselves living there. The results were amazing. I hired Lori again to help me with my unpacking in my new home. She was very efficient, worked very quickly to put everything in its place and greatly reduced the stress of moving. She also helped with the decorating, picking paint colors, hanging pictures furniture placement and so so much more. What I am most thankful for Lori is how she helped me re-invent my kitchen. Since I did not have the money to completely re-renovate she helped me save so much money by simply painting the cabinets and re-configuing the appliances I love my kitchen now. I feels brand new. Lori again helped me with using leftover tile from my last house in my renovated basement washrooms. It looks great !! Lori is great about making a house look amazing without spending a fortune. I would hire Lori Pedersen Home Staging and Styling for any renovation, staging and decorating. She is experienced, knowledgeable and extremely professional.

Limited mobility forced me to consider a bathroom renovation. I needed a walk in shower but did not want to eliminate the bathtub. The plan was to remove a small counter and its storage cupboards. Arrangements were made to have the work done while I was in Florida over the winter. Lori co-ordinated and supervised the entire project without a flaw. I returned in the Spring to a glamorous, elegant but functional handicap friendly bathroom Lori understood my needs. I greatly appreciate her creative ideas, knowledge and patience to make the vision a reality. Annette Wolf

I have used many decorators and consultants in the past and no one compares to Lori. She was patient and listened to my needs. She incorporated my wants and her flare and produced outstanding results. I recommend her above anyone I have used.

Lori is a dream to work with. She gave us a lot of good ideas for our laundry area renovation. She was respectful of our vision and offered realistic design alternatives. Even though our project became a DIY one, the information Lori provided was invaluable. She provided us with a design layout, sourced materials and put us in touch with trades people she has used in the past. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lori for any job.

Recently I purchased my first apartment with my boyfriend. Because I had never decorated my own place before I was very confused with colour choices and on what wall each colour should be on. Lori was beyond the most helpful, patient and knowledgeable interior decorate I have ever come across. She explained to me how the sun can come in at certain angles making the colour choices I picked looking very different than the colour samples. Because of her she made our apartment feel like a home rather than a stepping stone till our next place. I couldn’t have done it without her help!
