I got a referral for AlphaOne from our realtor and I looked up the website and hired them based on that. We were dealing with Barbara who did the staging of our condo. She recommended we paint (which we did ourselves), change the lighting, and she basically took all our furniture out and brought in furniture and redecorated the place. She did such a fantastic job that we sold the place in 2 days! We were very happy.

I was doing a large renovation on a townhouse in Oakville and Barb consulted on the redesign of the 3500 square feet. We already had a sense of what we wanted but she gave us guidelines and had amazing contacts (tradesmen) in the industry in terms of know how. My She works on a lot of traditional homes and we were doing something modern, but her sense of color and composition are amazing.

They did a staging of our two bedroom condo that we own and it went swimmingly well! We listed on Thursday night and it sold on Monday and I attribute the success of that largely to their staging job. They rearranged the furniture, brought in additional pieces and we were very pleased. It was a little expensive for us but it was well worth the money as we got the results we wanted and a very quick closing. They did a tremendous job!

Hi Barbara, Although we had heard about staging, when our realtor suggested your services, the truth is we approached the idea cautiously. Yet in the end, my family and I agree all your recommendations paid off -- both inside and outside. Your team was thorough and very creative. I am amazed at how you were able to utilize many of the existing pieces of furniture and the way your team switched every room in the house to create an entirely new look and in some cases a new function for each room. The house sold in just four days for full asking with two offers. I will highly recommend AlphaOne's services to anyone I know who wants to sell their property faster and for a better price.

Being a busy Mom of 2 young kids, it was a HUGE stress relief working with Barbara and her team. We engaged her to help us get our house ready for sale as well as staging it. With one consultation, Barbara was able to envision the overall look of the final staged house and selected all the paint, backsplash and lighting to compliment the look flawlessly. Her team of tradespeople did great work. When we first saw our staged home, we were in utter amazement. Barbara and her team are truly talented. The way they changed the placement of our furniture and added accessories where needed really enhanced the look and feel of the house dramatically. What was truly impressive was the creative way they repurposed some of our furniture which looked great and saved us some rental fees which we really appreciated. When it came time to sell, we really wanted to sell quickly, and of course for the best price, to minimize our displacement which was especially challenging with kids. Despite the slower market at the time, we were thrill that our house sold firm in exactly 1 week. On top of that, we priced our house $10K higher than others in the area and still got 101% of ask!! Thank you Barbara! We would definitely recommend AlphaOne Staging & Design!

Barbara: We would like to thank you for the great job you did staging the house. The staging was done so quickly, and with a minimum of fuss!! I had so many compliments about the staging, "not being over the top"," made the house look so warm and inviting." "Just the right touches". I will be sure to recommend you to all the agents in my office, and for sure I won't hesitate to use you again.

Company Response:

The house had been renovated in key areas to enhance the look and value of the property. It was great to work in a house where the client had many interesting pieces of European art so we were able to mix old and new to create an ecclectic look...glad it sold quickly in the dead of summer!

Barbara designed and created a beautiful spa bathroom for us, which is beyond our expectations. She was involved in all aspects of the renovation with tradespeople and worked very hard to solve problems as they arose. She is very knowledgeable about sourcing and was never satisfied until she achieved the most elegant effect. We were thrilled with the results and also appreciate how functional and comfortable the room is. It works!

Company Response:

The challenge I had was not to get excited, which was hard to not to be excited as the Master loft had such amazing space potential; although there were a few challenges along the way. The clients were open to advice which really made my crew's and my job a lot easier. The end result....a beautiful spa-like bathroom to enjoy for many years to come.

We had an excellent experience working with Barbara and her team and would highly recommend her services. We felt she was always fully committed to making our project successful. She did a great job project managing through the course of all this work, and her taste and aesthetic are wonderful. It’s proving a joy to live in our “new” house. Our new kitchen is both beautiful and functional, all my frustrations with a lack of storage in the bathroom have gone away, and the whole house is uplifting, relaxing and elegant.

Barb was a true professional and made my condo look spectacular. In fact it sold in only four days AND had four offers. The entire process from start to finish was a breeze. Thank you!
