Last Detail Home Staging

We are so glad we used Ella to stage our house last year! I think the most important thing to know is that people who come through your house don't care about your stuff! They want to picture themselves in your house. Ella came for the initial quote (which was free) and gave us tons of ideas. Her proposal was comprehensive and easy to follow (although I must admit it was daunting at first to put so much into storage!) She came back again to see what we had done and then the furniture came in. I went out for lunch and by the time I got back, her team had finished! They were awesome! I actually said to my husband - let's not move and just keep it like this! It really was amazing. Moral of the story, our house sold for $100,000 over asking! The investment in Ella's services were beyond worth it. One bonus is that I learned so much about decorating, so now that I have to decorate my new house, I am using Ella's tips to make it look great. We are very happy we used her and her team and would use her again. As long as you follow her instructions, you will be fine!! :-)

I have used the services of Ella and her wonderful staff at the Last Detail Home Staging several times this past year for my clients homes. The transformation of each of the properties was unbelievable!

Most recently, I had Ella stage an 18 year old townhouse with unattractive and dated furniture and parquet flooring on the main level. The unit was in a high demand area and it had wonderful features and many upgrades. I knew that if we removed most of the furniture, did some quick improvements and staged it, that we could sell for top dollar. Ella met with us and suggested that we replace the parquet with dark hardwood and recommended an excellent floor company that was available to start the work within 2 days. She also suggested that he paint some of the rooms a more neutral color and offered some suggestions to upgrade the bathrooms and also how to bring more light into the place for the showings. She let us know what the home would need in terms of furniture and accessories so that it would show to perfection! My client was willing to do the work after hearing from Ella most of what I had been suggesting in the past and now also had assurance from 2 different parties that a relatively small investment could bring him a large return. Within one week the old furniture was removed, the work was completed, the place was cleaned and Ella and her staff brought in and arranged their beautiful furniture, accessories, art, mirrors and more to make this townhouse look like a new model home! Within a few hours magic was created! I listed the property the next day and the offers started flooding in. I sold the house for 109% of the asking price in a couple of days and the asking price was at market value. I did not under price and hold offers for a week. I am thrilled beyond words for my client and am so delighted with the suggestions and the final product that the Last Detail helped to produce to make this property sell for much more than it would have had we not hired them. Well done once again Ella! You helped make my job so much easier!
Thanks!

I hired Ella from The Last Detail to stage a new custom home I just finished. Her professionalism and approach is what really impressed me. She was able to show me exactly what furniture she was thinking of using and was kind enough to invite me to come and take a look at another home she was staging to see her attention to detail. I would definetly recommend her to anyone looking to hire a great home stager. I am extremely happy with her work and look forward to working with her in the future.

Dear Ella, It was truly a pleasure to deal with you and your company. At first I was quite confused about the whole concept of staging a home. By the end, not only was I a firm believer that the home staging process works, but that you have got to be one of the best in your business. You seem to possess a wealth of knowledge about your area of expertise and your taste in decor is simply out of this world. I am certain that my home sold as quickly as it did and for the price that it did in part because of your involvement. Thanks once again. Yours truly, Ari Gold, Toronto

We have used Ella for staging in all of our houses over the last 6 years. They have all sold within days of listing and have all sold substantially over asking. Ella and her team are extremely organized at putting an entire house together in an incredible short period of time. The results are always simply stunning! We look forward to working with Ella and her team again in the very near future.

Ella and her team have worked for many of our clients and have transformed their homes! They took different styles of homes and condos in a range of prices and maximized their showing potential. We have had great success with using The Last Detail. Ella is very responsive, professional and extremely reliable. It is great to have a turnkey solution, as they just take over so the client does not have to worry about a thing!

Dear Ella,
I wanted you to know that we sold this suite in just three days for 69,000 more than the same suite, two floors down, which sold last year. We also sold for more than an “07” unit has ever sold for and created a new record for price-per-square-foot in the building. It was, as usual, an absolute pleasure working with you and you know that I recommend your services every chance I get! Kind regards, Timothy Burke, Remax Hallmark

Ella, your sound advice and staging services were worth every penny. You allowed us to realize the full potential of our home, which was hiding behind the clutter of everyday life. It was an eye-opening experience that extends beyond just selling the house and will certainly serve as a reminder to us as we start from scratch in our new home.

To prospective clients: be objective, and understand that the process is not about criticizing your decor, but maximizing your space. We had a particularly tall order of to-do’s from Ella, and it was a stretch to achieve in less than two weeks, but we made it happen and had a beautiful transformed shell ready for Ella’s team. It was stressful, but the final result paid off in spades. And, of course, I had a pang of regret for selling!

Ella, When I hired you to help out with staging my unit I never imagined your services matching the name of your company so closely. Truthfully
I haven’t met many people who pay such attention to every detail such as yourself. Every aspect of the job was delivered as promised and I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate the level of professionalism provided. All promises were kept all deadlines were kept and everything was delivered exactly how and when you said it would. A true rarity in today’s world. You have all my business moving forward!

Ever since I first saw a very small condo staged by The Last Detail, which my client bought, I was hooked on their staging. I now stage almost every property I list and have been getting excellent results, with multiple offers in many cases and sale prices above asking. I am impressed with the personal service and professional attitude, and how they get every job done in a very quick, hassle-free fashion. All my clients like "The Last Detail Look“! It works!!
