Testimonials "The best complement is a referral from our clients" Thanks for all your help, the house looks FANTASTIC!! We had 25 people through the open house and a second showing tonight (to quote the potential buyers “I feel in love with this house, I couldn’t even sleep last night”)!!! Dale Breese Dear Heather, I would like to thank you for your enthusiasm and professionalism as my Stager. I was very impressed by your expert project management skills and how you dealt with all your team members which consisted of cleaners to trades people, you were there to make sure things went smoothly and that the project was completed on time by everyone. I was most impressed by your great communication skills and how you followed up with my clients and me to inform us how the project was coming together. This house needed a team leader to get the job done and also give it the WOW factor that was needed desperately to get the property sold. As a realtor I received numerous compliments on how the house looked, Heather made sure the house made a great first impression by having it look fresh and appealing to every purchaser who entered the house. Many thanks Heather for getting my clients property sold quickly, I will highly recommend your services to other clients or realtors who need a Professional Property Stager! Dave Bhandar Laurie, In fact we learned so much through the process - that our house can
look so much nicer. This will definitely help us when we start to arrange
our new house in Hamilton. I am sure that your work is (and will be)
highly appreciated by your clients. Thanks Larie. Virtual tour testimonial: Hi Connie, I love this - a complete package and less inconvenience for the seller - all done in that last appointment with you. What a great idea you had. That's why we love you and your work. Betty, Remax Affiliates Hi Laurie, Thank you for your help on 7 Meadow Glade 2 weeks ago. The house is
sold and the sellers are very happy, you did a great job. ~John Phan
Broker, REMAX Walkley I have worked with Heather Fritz of Staged n Sold before, so I knew
I could trust Heather to come in and help my clients make their home
show-ready before we listed it. Heather was able to make use of a variety
of the client's own belongings, some items that I was lending, and her
own beautiful pieces. She saved my client money throughout the process
and we ended up selling the house for almost $20,000 more than we were
anticipating and in only 3 days, thanks to the way it showed! I will
continue to use and recommend Heather's services to all of my Sellers
and my colleagues. She understands what buyers are looking for, because
she was a REALTOR herself. Naomi Larkins, Realtor, Royal Lepage Coast Capital Realty Hello,Heather Hi there Connie, Dear
Connie, To
whom it may concern, This
past April, our home sold in two days with an offer 11,000.00 over the
asking price. Susie, from Staged N Sold, was one of the reasons our
house sold so quickly. She was fun to work with and all her tips and
points were bang on. Her suggestions for re-arranging the furniture
made our rooms look so much bigger. Susie worked with the furniture
and accessories that we had and didn't ask us to buy a lot of things
that we would never use again. She spruced up our master bedroom and
wow, was it nice. Susie gave some very practical advice for fixing the
cracks in our basement walls and referred us to a home inspector to
get more detailed guidance. Fixing the cracks helped sell our home quickly.
Potential buyers saw that we were honest and up front about the cracks,
and therefore didn't need to worry that we might be hiding other problems.
We plan to stay in our new home for years to come, but if we were to
move again, we would call Susie first. Hi
there Susie: Dearest
Susie, Dear
Susie Staged'N
Sold was recommended to us when we faced the task of selling a condo
in Victoria while living in Ontario; in addition some "fix-up" was required.
Heather was most helpful in providing contacts for home improvements
and coordinating the work to be done. Through her work the condo was
presented sucessfully in a bright and welcoming light! Hi
Connie, Thanks
for all your input. We worked hard and followed your suggestions, and
it paid off. The For Sale sign went up Friday morning, and we had a
steady round of people until early evening. Saturday was equally busy.
By Saturday afternoon, we had three offers, two above our asking price.
We accepted one offer; they returned today for an inspection, and now
we have a Sold sign on the lawn!! Amazing! Hi
Connie, Dear

Heather: Dear
Heather: February 27, 2009 Dear Heather, We would like to thank you and your Assistant for your help in the recent staging of our home. Your enthusiasm and expertise in showing our home to its full advantage was much appreciated. This was a whole new concept for us and we now understand the importance of removing all personal mementoes, treasures and extra furniture from a home before putting it on the market. Our streamlined house made it much easier for future buyers to envision it as their future home. In a tough real estate market staging certainly gives homeowners an edge over the competition. We received many comments on how tastefully our home had been staged and we are happy to say it sold in less than three weeks. Many thanks for helping us make the move to our new home a reality. Pat and Roger Garman, Hi Frank and Dennis(of Coldwell Banker Real Estate), Yesterday, a lady named Heidi came to our House and gave us her opinion on how we should stage our house. I must say right upfront that she did an excellent job and I highly recommend her for any business you may recommend that has to do with staging houses for sale. Heidi could do this with her eyes closed, she knew exactly what to do and what to move, change, remove, etc… She spent 2 hours with us and recommended a massive amount of changes, an advise which we take very seriously. This email is about giving Heidi and the company she works for Connie the best feedback (10 stars). Definitely worth the money you guys are paying her for this service. I can see it is essential for anyone wanting to sell their house. Please forward these comments (feedback about her) to the appropriate people if you like. Thank you.
Regards, Dear Heather: I want to thank you for all the time and effort you put into staging the condo I had listed at 940 Boulderwood Rise. Multiple efforts had been made by other realtors to sell this condo and I was fortunate enough to pick up the expired listing. The first thing I did was have you in to assess and provide recommendations. Working with the few items of furniture that were already in the condo and by bringing in some of your own rental items, you transformed an ordinary, unexciting unit into a home with definite "wow" factor. The condo sold within two weeks of staging, in a very tough real estate market. Thanks again for all your help and I would definitely recommend you to others. Regards, Heather
Fritz I want to formally thank you for all the effort you made to ensure my mother's home on Winton Street showed so well when listed for sale. Not only were your furniture and décor items tasteful and well-suited to the property, you provided much-needed advice and guidance that put the finishing touches on the home's presentation. As you know, I was so impressed I have asked you to provide interior design advice on our own home. I sign this on the weekend that the new owners of Winton take possession. Your services definitely enabled us to sell the property during an economic downturn and with a very sluggish real estate market. Lydia Baran C.A. May 28, 2007 I want to express my appreciation and that of my seller for the terrific work Heather Fritz of Staged ‘N Sold did in staging his condo in Victoria. Although this condo listing had many updates and flexible space, there were some idiosyncrasies that made it difficult for potential buyers to envision ho w it could look. Heather’s expert staging showed it to its best advantage and everyone commented on how good it looked. The realtor whose client bought it said that the staging was a main element in what sold his client on the condo. I would highly recommend Heather’s services to anyone wanting to present their home in its best light. The place looked beautiful and she and her staff did everything possible to make the process easy. I will certainly use her services again and again. Laurel Hounslow Dear Heather, I would just like to thank you so much, Heather, for the wonderful job you did. All the work was done so quickly, and the tradespeople you recommended have been excellent. The outcome has been just what I had hoped. It has been a real pleasure working with you; I know I could never have accomplished so much so easily without you…..not to mention I feel that I have made a new friend, and I am looking forward to meeting with you again, when I next come to Victoria. I would certainly recommend your services at StagedNSold to anyone interested in improving a property for the sale market. Kindest Regards, January 7, 2008 To Whom It May Concern: I am delighted to write this letter in reference to Ms. Fritz. Heather is an amazing person, definitely being one of the most focused and professional people that one will ever meet! When Heather puts her mind to a task, whether personal or professional, you can guarantee that the job will be done will as little fuss and muss as possible and done with a smile and friendly attitude. Though Home Staging is a new profession to Heather, Heather’s knowledge is great. Living and working in Victoria for most of her life, Heather has a wealth of knowledge about home renovations, personal home staging, working with contractors, working with Realtors and working with the general public. Heather was warmly welcomed by the Realtors in our offices in Ladysmith recently and has been asked to conduct a seminar on Home Staging at our Customer Appreciation Day coming up in the near future. We are confident that Heather will do a most excellent job with that request. I am positive that you will be well rewarded with the professional qualities that Heather will supply you with and wish you much success in your association with her. Sincerely, Jillian L. Dashwood Hi Heather, I am so glad to hear that you had a such a great trip! And yes, a hug from Mom is like nothing else..... It was great that you could be there... I just got the key and I am sorry that I missed you when you were here! We will certainly recommend you to any clients who are interested in staging and use you ourselves if we have another property that you can dazzle! I was up at Applewood and think that it looks great! What a difference! Now, we are doing all that we can to get it sold! Bill took another REALTOR® tour through today to show them the changes... fingers crossed! It has been a absolute pleasure working with you and we look forward to working with you again and staying in touch! Kindly, Sarah West Hello Reenie, It was an incredible job you accomplished and I thank you for it. The home sold quickly and for a good price. The house from the outside including the deck, to the basement and living room and kitchen and bedrooms & bathrooms, all just shone when you finished. It was a pleasure to show, and the owners were impressed as well. All showings were well received and the comments were all positive. I also believe it was easier on the owners to maintain a clean and organized home for the showings. A huge "thank you" to your great team and for doing what you said you could. Much appreciated. I highly recommend you. Kindest regards, When we decided to put our house on the market for sale, we asked Connie Nedergaard from "Staged N Sold to come out and advise us on how best to prepare our house for market. Connie and her associate provided us with a very thorough assessment of our current house condition - our house had weathered 20 years and three very active teenagers so we certainly had a bit of updating and staging to do. Staged N Sold provided a very professional service with a lot of valuable advice in preparing the house for sale. IT CERTAINLY PAID OFF in that our house sold at our asking price WITHIN 6 DAYS OF LISTING. I would certainly recommend Connie and Staged N Sold to anyone who is considering selling their home. Sincerely Hi Connie, I didn't get a chance to pop over to the condo until about 4pm yesterday. The place looks absolutely awesome! Not overdone and not underdone. Heck, I'm ready to move into it myself! We had the light fixtures changed out and it looks so much better. I'll definitely be working with you again and would strongly recommend that about 90% of our sellers could use some sort of "staging" assistance. I know that I can sell this to people by letting them know that they'll be able to get a better price for their home as well as sell more quickly. Talk soon, Follow-up Email: 3 days on market. I've got several listings pending which could use some of your help. Talk soon! Cori Hi Connie and Virginie We had a wonderful little house (with no basement) that dated back to 1953 original construction. It had been renovated but it was a real challenge to show with only 2 small bedrooms and little in the way of storage space. Somehow, StagedNSold made it look like an expansive home with a delightful outdoor atmosphere. The property sold in a manner of 3 days above market value! Thank you. Stephane Girardin Connie and Virginie, Thank you for the great work you did in staging our home. We trusted you would do a good job, but the final results surpassed our expectations. You provided very good customer service in your flexible scheduling; patience in explaining your service/vision and answering questions; and the way you - without interrupting us - staged the house and came back to clear the home at the end of our contract. You both were extremely professional, thorough, enthusiastic and creative. You managed to take a vacant home and tastefully stage it to display its full potential. We feel you played a great part in selling our home; we got our first offer within 6 days of listing the property. Best wishes for continued success. Sincerely, To: Susie & Darlynn Thank you for all your hard work and wonderful ideas. Most of all, thank you for being the "nice" and "warm" people you are! Suzette and family Dear Susie, We are so pleased with the results. What a difference !! You and Darlynn both have excellent taste and a true talent for this business. You will exceed beyond your own expectations..... Bruno and the boys really like it too (which is an added bonus) I have enjoyed meeting you both and I'm sure we will see each other soon. Thank you kindly again for everything (your patience, advice, honesty and hard work ) With our deepest gratitude, I highly recommend StagedNSold to anyone who is putting their house on the market. Nicole DeFilippo is a great professional to work with and understood perfectly what needed to be done. Long time friends come to my house after Nicole worked her magic and were amazed at the transformation of the space. Working with StagedNSold is a small investment and worth every penny. We sold our house in three weeks and were able to realize 97% of our asking price in a buyer's market. Thanks, Nicole !! Lynne S. Dear Connie - Thank you so much for all your help and advice. It was such a pleasure to meet you and although we currently have not made the decision to list the Nottingham property, we appreciated your kindness and professionalism. As an update, your discovery of the problems with the bathroom floor was accurate. We removed the vinyl flooring only to find 4 additionals layers of various products! All have been removed and ceramic installed appropriately. Again, thank you for everything. As the opportunity presents itself, I have been referring you to others for both staging will happily continue to do so. Have a blessed, prosperous and happy holiday season. Sincerely, Kathy & Gary Thatcher, Upper Arlingtion, Ohio ~Staged-and-sold took my house and made it a home. Connie and Virginie provided an excellent and detailed consultative experience, preceded by an amazing transformation of space and materials that made my single home shine as model environment. I am 100% confident their efforts resulted in the expedited sale of my home in under a week. Thanks again ladies. Rob Pitcher, Ottawa Ontario
"exceeded sales goals, obtain occupancies of over
95% in a very soft
multi-family market and built a waiting list" Property Management Testimonial As the Director of Marketing for AIMCO, I have had the pleasure to work with Connie Nedergaard over the past couple of years, inviting her expertise for the staging of model apartments, clubhouses, and amenity packages. Through Connie's direction, new virtual tours and on-line photographs have been created and placed on six various websites, for over twenty properties in Indiana & Kentucky. After the new photography was added in to the various web ads, the number of inquiries more than doubled! It is my strong belief that with her team we have been able to exceed sales goals, obtain occupancies of over 95% in a very soft multi-family market and build a waiting list. In fact, Connie and her team will be assisting me this summerin the staging process for at least twelve more apartment communities that I am working with, and I know the results will be outstanding! Connie was always professional, dependable and willing to go above and beyond, working many late evenings, just to ensure our goals and deadlines were achieved. When the photography plans were approved for this year, I had the opportunity to pick a staging professional, and I would not have chosen anyone, but Staged N Sold! Sincerely ~I have worked with Connie over the past couple of years and have used her services as an Accredited Staging Professional with her company Staged N Sold, during that time. I have seen Connie work with my clients and myself and provide great service to both. She has also produced great results in helping us sell my clients homes. She has functioned in multiple roles with my clients and handled many personal situations with great professionalism. I have also worked with other members of Connie's company and have had wonderful experiences with her employees and have been more than pleased on how Connie has trained, coached and followed up with her employees. It is rare to find a business owner/manager that actually cares about their service and the service of their employees. I have had follow up calls from Connie after I have had an employee that I have not previously worked with come in for a staging. Connie's attention to detail and follow-up is something that I really appreciate. Mike Strange, - Staged homes sell for more money and sell quicker. I have shown a home and that was not staged (buyer input was "it's OK") and then go about 4 doors down in the same neighborhood and show the same floor plan, but in a staged home and the buyer loved it and in fact bought the home! I have a professional staging expert come to your home and go through every room and generate a full home report on what needs to be done to best stage your home. Mike Strange,
