The most important thing you want to know about hiring Ellen at Chrysalis to stage your house - We…read morereceived an offer in THREE DAYS at 99% of our asking price! The results speak for themselves! We gave ourselves over to her entirely and had immediate interest, and people still wanted to see the house even after it was under contract. To start, we absolutely LOVE Ellen. We were referred to her through our marvellous new agent Art Lee (equally fantastic!). Our house was previously on the market for 90 days, more than half of that it was vacant, then we took it off and put it back. Here's our story. The first time on market, we waited until it was vacant to make some improvements. We had touched up our walls both ourselves and hired someone to do larger areas with the existing colour. We didn't want to hear that the colour was not what people wanted. We received only one insultingly and extremely low offer and little interest even after other touch ups we did. The house had nothing wrong with it, a gorgeous place, location was awesome, price reduced... still nothing. When we decided to go with another realtor with a different perspective, we listened to the experts on Art's team and were introduced to the lovely Ellen Mann of Chrysalis Creative Home Staging. The house was a very good one, the advice we got was important to listen to - Ellen gave us only the facts. She broke it to us that the colour we had on our walls before was the most returned colour. Meaning people buy it, try it on a wall and then realize it doesn't work and return it. Only a small portion of people would actually like the colour, which meant we were really cutting ourselves off from a greater audience. We can't argue with facts, so we decided to put everything in Ellen's expert hands. She suggested we paint a certain colour and she staged it her way, which meant our time money and efforts we put into painting previously, would be in the toilet, and painted over. It was sad for us but we knew after investigation and being presented with her knowledge, Ellen was the right choice for us and we put our faith in her and her choice of painter. Well we should have done this from the start and wouldn't have wasted time or money. The results were SPECTACULAR!!!! Ellen's painter did an excellent job, the cuts were perfect and the colour is incredible! Better than we expected. Ellen's choices of furniture, the decor, the art on the walls, the tables and accents, were perfect to appeal to the exact audience that would be in the market to buy our place - and had no complaints about anything! That's the thing. While our own furniture AND TASTES ARE DIFFERENT in colour and style, Ellen's was UPDATED, MODERN and exactly what people want to see. Even my mother said that while it wasn't to her own tastes (who is 30 years older than the average buyer), Ellen knew exactly what the buyer of TODAY AND TOMORROW wants. It's NOT about what WE like or want, it's about Ellen's knowledge of the market and her expertise and skills! And she's got her ear to the ground about what's HOT, what's not, and what will sell your property. We went live on a Sunday, and immediately started getting interest and showings. We got the offer we wanted within 3 days, and by Tuesday night we were signing for an offer just slightly under our asking price! In this market, you don't know what will happen, but thank God we are satisfied to finally have this long journey over, and SO SOON thanks to the new team we chose to help us sell, which included Ellen's incredible staging knowledge, experience, skill and advice. Choosing to stage with Ellen is a NO brainer and paid for itself several times over. I SHUDDER to think how long the house would have stayed on the market if we were stubborn and continued to do things our way, or how it would have affected things if we only took her advice half-heartedly... No folks, do EVERYTHING Ellen says. If you're having trouble selling your house, think about taking it off for a couple weeks (and going with any of the competent agents on Art Lee's Team instead!) and implementing ALL of her advice during that time, she's right about EVERYthing! Put it back on market and enjoy the magic going to work on the public. I would also like to add we did all this from another province! Ellen was so great to work with from afar. This was a lesson to us that we want to pass on to you if you're wondering what you can do to sell the house - call Ellen Mann at Chrysalis and call Art Lee's office. Painting and staging... costs how much? Compare that to how long you pay mortgage, get no offers or low ball. The best thing you can do is go with a great savvy expert who will present your house in the best way possible and you have to do the work to improve it. That's Ellen and a good agent like ours, and our willingness as sellers to do our part and listen. It's a partnership! Ellen you are MAGIC! THANK YOU!!

But, to be frank, our happy memories and busy family life left a wake of clutter and 'endearing' (some embarrassing) decorating decisions that you could only love if you had been there. Our realtor understood, and introduced us to The Staging Goddess. In a 1 hour consultation, Dawn & Angie, confidently & professionally gave advise which made so much sense. I was immediately at ease, & happy to leave all the decisions for staging in their competent hands. We followed their de-cluttering & clean-up plan. From their warehouse they supplied us with accessories that brought it all together, made the place stand out & sent the "I can see myself here" message to interested buyers. We had a firm offer in 11 days & finalized a week later in a market that had turned sluggish. The whole process was fun - it took a lot of stress away from us, and we were proud of they way our home presented. I am forever grateful.

Their furniture layout and accessory placement made every room look as spacious as possible through ensuring flow and providing many ways for the eye to be guided around each room. They set everything up in less than a day and took everything down in less than a day. On take down day, they even brought me a thank you gift and filled the holes from the nails from the pictures they hung. Every single person that I dealt with at Dekora was fabulous -- pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. Unlike some other staging companies that rent furniture, Dekora allows you to still be living in the unit that is staged (with the caveat that if you damage an item you are responsible, of course). They incorporated a number of pieces of my furniture so it was minimal work for me to remove pieces that would not work with the staging. And they offer you the opportunity to purchase any of the pieces that they use in your place for a discount. I picked up an attractive lamp at an affordable price using this offer. Dekora also recommended painters (who were great) and other unit improvements to make that would pay off strongly. Working with Dekora saved me a lot of work and stress. I would highly recommend Dekora -- I consider it worth every penny. My realtor was very pleased with Dekora's work and most of the people who came through the condo commented on how lovely it was. So all in all a great experience.

I've watched this company grow from its infancy and since 2011, I've seen them really take things to the next level, entrenching themselves as a major presence in the local real estate market. Yet somehow, they've managed to maintain a consistent standard of service throughout, with the charm and efficiency of a boutique company...the same one I remember...who clearly loves what they do and always puts the needs and concerns of their clients first. Urban Presentations has the unnatural ability to welcome projects of any scale or nature, with a positive attitude and enthusiastic approach, from a complete staging of a totally vacant home to a complete de-clutter of one bursting at the seams. Their versatility and commitment to doing whatever it takes to get the job done allows me to do my job with confidence. No matter what the condition of the home or the demeanor of the homeowner, I know that the job will get done well and efficiently and that the homeowner will be treated with the utmost respect, care, and dignity. Although I trust them implicitly to take on a project and just run with it, as the "role-up-your-sleeves" type of Realtor that I am, I occasionally find myself working alongside the Urban Presentations team as we get a listing ready for the market. This has given me the opportunity to really get to know the team and the way they operate. As individuals, each team member is fun and outgoing, energetic, and entirely self-motivated. Collectively and individually, they have an exceptional eye for detail, possess a strong understanding of design and home staging principles, and have impeccable communication and customer service skills and standards. As a team, it seems as thought there are absolutely no weak links. They communicate so well with one another that they seem to operate effortlessly as a unit, regardless of whether or not they are working individually or as a team at any given time. Their projects are always completed on time and on budget and to the very highest standards when it comes to staging, design and décor. I can always count on being amazed with how well they are able to transform challenging and particularly underwhelming spaces into functional and visually jaw-dropping masterpieces. And this is consistently supported in the feedback I receive from buyers, who are constantly telling me during showings that they simply had to come and view the property because it looked so good in the pictures. From a Realtor's perspective, there is no better validation that a staging company has done their job successfully. With Urban Presentations, I can count on this reaction every time.
