Client Testimonials:

• “Stage-2 made sure that our house was staged so that it was in the best condition for showings, yet ‘livable’ for

our girls, and offered wonderful advice throughout the process.” • “Thanks to Stage-2 for her keen ‘staging’ eye resulting in a polished home…”

• “The house looks wonderful! Peter and I both appreciate the way you have taken this project and turned things

around so quickly. You are amazing! Also, thanks for the support in getting the house staged and please tell

Stage-2 and Gerry how grateful we are for their expertise.”

• “I was genuinely impressed with Stephanie’s staging efforts in my home. She truly transformed the look and feel

of my entire house! I could not believe that she was able to use most of what I already had (furniture, rugs,

pictures, mirrors) to create a totally different (and far better!) look. Her suggestions were simple and easy to

implement, yet they made a tremendous impact. I am confident that her work will make my home significantly

more appealing to potential buyers. In addition to her talent, Stephanie is also extremely professional, friendly,

and easy to work with. I would recommend her services to anyone looking to put their home on the market.”

• “Stephanie Inglis and her crew produce miracles! They transformed our home brilliantly, using our own things

(which suddenly looked magnificent the way they were now arranged and presented). Stephanie is a brilliant

stylist with a rare knack for color, form and creativity that produces stunning end results. But she’s also a

practical house seller, choosing only those items that will most appeal to prospective buyers from a

psychological standpoint. We looked for four years without success for someone with Stephanie’s talent to

decorate our home. In a matter of days, she and her crew got the job done. We can’t recommend her highly

enough! She’s the real deal.”
