Staging by Staged to Sell

A knowledgeable and practical professional who helped me immensely by staging my home for sale. Just what I needed when dealing with the stress of selling.

Carolyn Pulis recently helped us stage our home for selling. She was very upbeat cheerful and professional. She worked with what we had. With a fresh coat of paint, a lot of decluttering and some repositioning of furnishings and pictures our place looks fabulous. It was a pleasure working with Carolyn. She certainly has a flair and a great sense of colour and proportion. There is no need to make expensive purchases mostly to remove a lot of "extra stuff". Thanks Carolyn for being so encouraging and taking the fear out of staging. Maggie and Laurie DeSpiegelaere

I feel that Staged to Sell did an excellent job preparing my house to be sold. Existing furnishings and accessories were used wherever possible, and new, fresh items were brought in where required. I felt comfortable and satisfied with all their suggestions and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of Staging services.

I'm selling my house and my real estate agent suggested that I have Carolyn come in and stage it. I'm so glad that I listened to his suggestion. Carolyn is a professional in every sense of the word and within a couple of hours, she went through my whole home and showed me exactly what to do. It was easy to do and now my home looks better than ever. I have no hesitation in recommending Carolyn. She does great work and is a pleasure to work with.

Carolyn was amazing, gave us fantastic ideas and made our house look awesome. We had an offer after 4 days of been on the market. Thank you.

Carolyn did an amazing job Staging and setting up one of pilot project rooms at Burlington gardens Retirement community. She pick the perfect type of furniture and décor that fit the room in a quick tine frame. She even went and delivered a piece of furniture herself that wasn't originally planned to be in the room. She was a very professional and easy to work with. I'm looking forward to working with her in the future.

Carolyn was very knowledgable. We have never had a house staged so we were not sure what to expect. Carolyn made our house look awesome, she knew exactly where to put furniture, pictures and accent pieces. I would recommend her to anyone.

Carolyn came to our house to stage it before we put it up for sale. She has a keen eye and pointed out some changes for us to make. Carolyn's input was kind and positive. It didn't take us too long to make the changes and we were ready to list the house. It sold in 25 hours for well over asking price. We highly recommend Carolyn.

We had Carolyn Pulis come in to stage our condo in Burlington last week and found her to be very professional and great to work with. Suggestions were fabulous. Large condo 1,900 sq.ft. overlooking Lake. She is honest and sincere with her comments. Her comments were positive and definitely not threatening. I would have no reservations recommending Carolyn to stage any home or condo. She is worth her weight in gold. Taras & Donna Moskal

Carolyn was referred to our home prior to sale for staging. She was punctual and very professional. Immediately after entering her eyes scanned every direction and she went to work moving, grouping, and removing items to enhance the appearance and provide a non-personal effect in our home. I had (I thought) prepared our home effectively for viewing, but her touches made a huge difference in the overall feeling of openness and brought more attention to the many qualities our home has to offer.

Caroline helped me stage my townhome and provided expert insights into what buyers would be looking for, how to make the best use of space and how to make the place 'pop'. My place sold on the first day, to the first visitors, and I'd use recommend Caroline's services to anyone looking to sell.

Carolyn Pulis has provided staging and home editing services to us on selling our Burlington home, as well as to my mother, an elderly condo owner who was making a life change to an independent living retirement home. Our experiences were so positive. I was always told that our home looked as if it were already staged so when we decided to list we thought there would not be much adjustment to make. Carolyn is very generous with her compliments about what you are doing right and has an uncanny knack of communicating ideas for change in such a gentle way, making the process one which you work on together, problem solving, using pieces you have to make your home spaces and contents ultimately more appealing. Carolyn pulled together three small pieces in our living room, chair, high table and floor vase, that we hadn’t thought of positioning together, and they looked stunning. In our kitchen, cleared countertops are the general rule, however Carolyn pulled together our expresso machine, tea pot, tea blends in matching jars, along with just two fine glass mugs and a tray with wine to make a very appealing beverage centre, that we continue as a theme in our new home. For my mother, no one, least of all Mum, wanted to spend a lot of time on “redecorating”, and we had already de-cluttered, inflicting angst and a bit of change-pain already. Carolyn again very deftly and gently complimented the existing decor as she went about her review and engaged the least appreciative audience in working with her and discussing options. She asked about pieces that meant a lot to Mum. She gently suggested if we all might mind just trying this or that, and recommended specific colours for key ornaments to pull out the best blend and features of the rooms and the furniture. Overall, an intelligent, quick study with minor changes but with very major impact! Those of us in the family who have had the pleasure of working with Carolyn already, highly recommend her and would thoroughly enjoy and in fact, require her services, for any future house staging needs.
