Testimonials

Dear Hendrik,

I wanted to write and thank you again for the wonderful job you did with staging my condo. It is always difficult to know where to begin with getting a property ready to sell. After your assessment, it was very clear where I had to start, and exactly what needed done. What was probably most refreshing was the lack of pressure to do it all entirely the way you had recommended, with the option to 'pick and choose' which of your recommendations to proceed with.

I decided to go ahead with all your suggestions, and was so very impressed not just with the style and attention to detail provided, but also with the clever way in which you used and rearranged my own furniture to create a more spacious and stylish atmosphere. The condo ended up looking so good that the temptation was not to sell after all!! Also the speed with which the transformation was completed was truly impressive. The initial consultation, implementation of your recommendations, and the selling of the condo happened within a few short weeks!

What I must also mention is your friendliness and your willingness to go 'above and beyond' throughout the whole time we worked together, for which I am truly grateful. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Quite importantly, of course, I must mention that your input undoubtedly added a substantial amount of dollars to the sale price of my condo. I would recommend to anyone selling their property to get their home staged, as you are confident in presenting something that you know is exactly what the buyer is looking for. And if you are to choose to stage your home, I would 100% recommend you, Hendrik, and will be passing your contact details along to anyone I hear that is going to be selling.

Dear Hendrik,

Thank you very much for giving our home the "wow" factor prior to us putting it on the market. We obtained our desired asking price and had an offer within 24 hours of it going on the market! There is no doubt that your suggestions and staging played a huge part in us getting a solid offer and quick sale.

Kind regards,

It is with great satisfaction that I write this letter of recommendation. Having had several negative experiences with home stagers in the recent past, my wife and I were somewhat unsure of what to expect. You quickly put us both at ease, however, with your cool confidence, fantastic suggestions and attention to detail.

Having identified the areas of our house needing work, you were then able to use our existing furniture without major new expense, sourced the few pieces we did need at reasonable cost, and brought in your own accessories to create a warm yet sophisticated feel to our home that had been missing since we moved in. My wife and I simply love what you've done. Not only that, our two realtors are equally impressed, and we've had many positive comments from prospective buyers.

I strongly recommend you to anyone needing a stager. Period. This is a tough market right now, and I am confident you've given our house the winning edge that will sell it soon. We can't thank you enough, and look forward to having you help us again when we eventually decorate our new home.

I was frantic and panicked with the thought of organizing the house in preparation of selling, and I was skeptical about the value of staging even after watching dozens of HGTV home decorating shows. Hendrik's calm, non-judgmental assessment left me with a practical list of to-do's if I chose to undertake the work myself, and without pressure or hard-sell, he also left me with options should I wish to use his services. Choosing to use Hendrik's services was the only logical choice, because he offered a one-stop option which meant that all the work would be coordinated, completed within a tight timeline and the esthetics would attract purchasers who could easily see themselves living in the house.

Overnight the house was transformed into a picturesque, calm oasis ready of anyone wanting a home. Hendrik's work facilitated the sale with multiple offers in 5 days and a final sale $60,000 above the asking price! Choosing HG Staging and reDesign service was a wise investment for the financial outcome, not to mention the retention of my sanity through what can be a brutish experience.

We would just like to take this opportunity to thank you for the wonderful work you put into our home. It looks absolutely stunning, I couldn't have been happier with the way it turned out. The house looks completely different and totally upgraded, with your handy work, the pieces you brought in were so beautiful, and everyone who has gotten to see the house before this weekend were so excited about how the home looked, and loved every piece you brought in. You have totally made happy customers out of us, and we would definitely use you again and we would definitely recommend you to all our friends and family.

Again thank you, your work is magnificent, and we are satisfied that we will receive some offers now that you have staged our home.

Thank you kindly.
