Just to let you know that we implemented your home staging tips and sold our place in less than 2 weeks getting $6,000 over the asking price.

Happy Newly Weds, Ottawa Ontario.


I would like to thank you for magically popping into my life when I needed your help the most. You have an uncanny ability to see things through the eyes of a prospective buyer and knew exactly what had to be done to sell my apartment as fast as possible. I'm pleased to say it sold in 19 days within 2% of our asking price. You're a gem.

As a Realtor I am always looking for a competitive edge to help my clients sell their homes. I recognize the value of bringing in a Professional stager like Susan Phillips to help us attract a buyer as quickly as possible. She sees your home as buyers will, and then she set the scene so that buyers can imagine living there. Susan was able to come in to my client's home and make the recommendations that transformed the home to into a buyers dream. Not only did she make the recommendations but she also helped coordinate the preparation of the home by recommending the contractors who did the work. As a result of Susan's excellent advice and recommendations, my clients home showed its maximum potential and sold in less than 2 weeks for more than the asking price!

Our home sold for over the listing price in 13 days after being prepared for re-sale with the help of Susan Phillips at Spotlight on Décor. The effort that was put in to update the flooring, wall colour, and accessories paid off. I was really happy with how everything looked. Thanks for all your help!

To all prospective home-sellers: I am like you in that I thought my home would sell as-is. My wife and I had lived in it making many improvements along the way and thought it was beautiful. But it wasn't selling. We couldn't figure out why. Having done all the things we thought would make it more presentable, like getting rid of clutter, didn't help.

Like you, I was concerned about what I should do, wondering if anyone could really help.

Well, now I know. Susan Phillips of Spotlight on Decor became our 'Stage Coach' - she advised us on how to stage our home for better presentation. Getting rid of clutter wasn't enough. Reorganizing the furniture to make the place look bigger (and it did!), buying a few tasteful artifacts that suited certain specific show-spots and repainting a few walls gave the house a bright new look.

Best of all it was easier to prepare for a showing and thereby relieved a load of stress, just like it will do for you! The house sold in a falling market at the price we expected. We were thrilled. I strongly recommend using Susan's expertise to assist you in staging your home for resale. Her impeccable taste and objective perspective made our lives much easier.

Honestly, I really believe that the pointers you gave us when you went through the place on your initial visit probably helped out HEAPS with the way the house looked to the potential buyer.  I was very impressed with all of your advice and suggestions -- in many cases I had never thought about the way things *looked* to other people when viewing my "stuff" so to speak, so it was a valuable learning experience. Your message was so pervasive that, even after we had a conditional sale on the house on Saturday, I still went out 1st thing Sunday AM and purchased fresh-cut flowers and green apples to display on the dining room table. Our house sold within 3 weeks.
