A First Impression helped us maximize the value of our home. Louise's keen attention to detail, her ability to listen and understand our point of view, the care taken by her to work with our budget, and the amazing results from her creative process, all helped to make our home that much more attractive to potential buyers. With sincere thanks for all your helpful suggestions,

Louise worked with us to help manage our clutter and restyle our home to create a beautiful living space.  Her professionalism, knowledge and service is incomparable!  Our home sold within 2 weeks thanks to A First Impression.

The pictures of Harrison look great. As you know, I am very supportive of the staging that you have accomplished on these properties....what a difference it makes for vacant houses and I can only surmise the improvement that can be achieved by you on furnished homes that need "help".  Thank you again for your support and creativity!

Thank you for the skillful way you helped me with my recent Seller. Without your patience and good advice I would have been facing a long wait before we were likely to see an offer. I’m impressed by the way you handled even the most difficult of clients and were able to get such a good result on a small budget.  Louise, you’ve made me a true believer in Home Staging.

We were really amazed at how important the little things were in accentuating our homes finer attributes. Although, the need to tidy and freshen, and in particular the dreaded kids computer/bedroom was an obvious first step, the transformation from the strategic repositioning our furniture and by adding of a few pointed accessories, was quite remarkable.   A First Impression Professional Home Staging, clearly made a lasting impression with potential buyers - our home sold in two days.

Hi Louise

You did an awesome job on the house.  Not only the outcome but also the way you handled everything was awesome.  I was out with Jim last night for dinner and made sure he knew how hard you worked on getting the house ready and how you handled the paint situation etc.  He could see it in the final results as well.

We will definitely refer you in the future and I can see how staging is a huge advantage in the long run.

Louise has done an outstanding job in staging properties for my clients.  She was able to envision the best way to showcase each home, and worked diligently with the clients and myself until completion.  With her positive approach and warm personality, I would highly recommend Louise to other clients and realtors.

It was a pleasure to work with you.  Eric and I found you to be very professional and at the same time personable.  We particularly appreciated your willingness to negotiate and accommodate our needs. It was evident that you receive great enjoyment from the work that you do.

We were very happy with the outcome of the staging of our house.  The overall look and the ambience that was created was pleasing to us and undoubtedly assisted in the selling of our home.

Thanks again for all that you did to make the process of selling a whole lot easier.

We found the staging done by Louise Short, and her suggestions for improvements, had a dramatic impact on the presentation of our home.  In a tough market, with several comparable resale homes in our neighbourhood, we believe the staging and suggestions made a positive contribution to the speed of the sale and the price of our home.  In addition, we found Louise to be accommodating in adjusting her staging plan to our personal needs.  We recommend her highly.

We wanted to sell our home quickly.  We knew we needed to maximize its appeal to all potential buyers.  The true meaning of "A First Impression"!

Thanks to Louise our house sold in one day!  She showcased the space and features of our home by moving a few pieces of furniture and adding some artwork and the finishing touches.  When the staging was complete we were laughing and saying maybe we don't need to move after all!  The transformation was incredible!

We would recommend her to anyone wanting to increase the value of their home.

Like any other seller, I was very confident that I have the nicest house and I can sell it in no time.  After four months of waiting and reducing the property's price, I still had no luck selling my house.  At that point, I contacted A First Impression and I was quite amazed by the fast and professional service I received, two weeks later my house was sold.  Thank you Louise.

Sold in one week:

Yes, in one week thanks to you and Sherri.  Thank you very much for the wonderful work you did with the condo. As Sherri said, you do magic!   We will certainly pass your card on to anyone we talk to who may be selling their home.

Thanks again, Louise.  Linda, Ken and I are very grateful for your help.

HOME SOLD IN 4 DAYS FOR $20,000 OVER ASKING PRICE:

I'm happy to report that our house has been sold and we can arrange to have you come in and gather up your staging items.  Although we were not looking at any offers until Sunday after the open house, by Saturday afternoon we had 3 confirmed offers and the potential of 2 more.  Bear in mind, our asking price was $259,900. Needless to say, we accepted the $280,000 and couldn't be happier!  We definitely feel the work we did that you recommended and the look you created helped us to get that price.  Thanks again for your vision and hard work.

Dan and Jeannette

Thank you for all your work.  I told everyone at our last meeting that I think my clients received $5,000 more for their house because they had it staged.

Steve Kleiman – Broker, Oliver & Associates Real Estate Brokerage Inc.

Our house sold within 7 days of the sign going on the lawn. I know it was a lot because of your suggestions - which we followed through on all of them! Thank you so much for your help. We get the key to our new house on Thursday. Better days ahead. I will recommend you to other people. The service was very effective. Take care and best wishes.
