For Christmas, I gave my husband a gift certificate for Kim's organizing services. As we get busier with our home business, a well-thought-out work space is essential and what we had was ineffective. Kim's first session helped clear mounds of paper that didn't have a home, and planted the seeds of how to better use our space. Our second session took what was left and assigned it a home and a system. That same day we also headed out to get her recommended purchases, excited to carry through on all her suggestions. As a result of just two sessions, the whole room looks better, more streamlined. The differences may not be as obvious to others, but they are huge to us. We have discarded an astonishing amount of unnecessary stuff, and found dedicated places for those things that never had one before. It has actually improved the way we do business as we know where to find what we need immediately, and it's all easily accessible. It was also incredibly freeing! Beyond organization, what Kim helped give us was a change of mindset. We've hit the ground running since her time with us, and thanks to her it’s easier than ever!

Company Response:

Thanks Elizabeth, for trusting the organizing process enough to give it as a gift for your husband, Todd. I was very impressed with how quickly he made decisions about what to keep and what to let go of. And I'm happy to hear that you followed through with many of my suggestions. Keep up the productive work!

Professionally designed, house looked amazing, definitely had a 'WOW' effect from buyers, house was sold in 2 days with multiple offeres. Definitely worth an investment, if selling yourself like we did. Kim is very professional and easy to work with, very organized and flexible at the same time.

Company Response:

I really appreciate you taking the time to review my services especially when you found me on Homestars in the first place. You and Olga were also so easy and enjoyable to work with and I was very pleased to hear how quickly your home sold and with great results. Let me know if you need my packing and moving services. I'm sure you'll be very happy in your beautiful new home.

In two hours, Kim managed to erase the concerns we'd been having about the challenges in our new (very small) bungalow. Her expertise was terrific. She had ideas and suggestions galore that made us feel excited--whereas before, we'd felt anxious. Then, she followed up the consultation by sending us a few emails w/ links to possible product solutions. A wonderful, empowering experience.

Company Response:

Jill, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with others when you're so busy moving in and setting up your new home. Let me know if you need any numbers for contractors, painters or cleaners. I'd be happy to provide recommendations. I'm thrilled for you and Rob in this big transition as new home owners! Can't wait to see your next steps that we spoke about. Much appreciated, Kim

I spent 4 hours with Kim and in that short time she really was able to make concrete changes in how i use my space as well as to give me some great suggestions for long term approach to space. She was a pleasure to spend the day with, has a great personality and knows her space. I would recommend her to anyone to help you reorganize your home and cupboards. She also helped me change my view of how much space i actually have to work with so she left me with a great gift that keeps on giving as i continue to make space saving choices. ( baskets will change your life)Thanks Kim! PS this was a gift from a friend before i give birth to my second child so i do not know the cost but highly recommend this idea as a gift concept

Hi Ora: Thank you so much for taking the time to review my organizing services especially since you're about to have the baby any day now! I was excited to hear from your friend that you were inspired to get your home office organized after I left. Hurray for your "space saving choices". Please don't hesitate to email or call if you have any questions or need a few tips. I'd be happy to help. I enjoyed the day with you as well.

We were fortunate to find Kim through HomeStars when we were looking to stage our house for sale. From the first phone call, she was warm, flexible, and a very hard worker. She was able to get started right away, work quickly, and do what it took to get our house sold rapidly. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed while she helped us declutter, weed our garden, run errands, and make our house look fabulous! In the end, she proved to not only be kind and easy to work with, but extremely talented. Our house had multiple offers the same day that it was listed on MLS, and we sold it for well over our asking price. We are very thankful to Kim for her talent and her hardwork, and we would highly recommend her to anyone putting a house up for sale, or looking to organize their home.

Rachelle: It was such a pleasure working with you and your husband, Van for those 3 days. The trust and enthusiasm you had for the work I did made the process go so smoothly and the proof is in the pudding - a very successful sale! I was thrilled when you called to have a colour consultation at your new home and look forward to hearing how it's all functioning with the furniture placement ideas we discussed. - Kim

"Kim's ideas and input into staging my house transformed it entirely and I couldn't have been happier. I received many positive comments about it, from friends, renovators... right through to both real estate agents involved in the sale. She definitely has a knack on how to bring out the best in a room, right down to the smallest details. I would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to present their home at it's best."

Greg: You were my very first client and I thank you for trusting in me to help you with your largest asset.

It was my first time selling a house, a daunting task to a first timer and I was without the skills and experience to confidently take ownership of selling my biggest investment. I saught the advice of my trusted real-estate broker, friends, and family, who all suggested that home staging would be a worthwhile investment. Kim Sneath of “Space Home Staging and Organization” (http://www.perfectspace.ca/) was highly recommended from multiple sources who had 1st hand experience of her services. I understood why she received such high praise as my worries and stress began to melt away immediately after she started. I was seeing sensitivity to my concerns, quick results, value, and the expertise that the team at “Space” brought to bare. Going into the open house , the place looked better than I could have imagined. My confidence grew as the feedback came in from experienced friends and even the agents of the prospective buyers. The sale of my house went off smoothly and was sold for way over asking. Ask me about home staging and I will tell you its simple, use the team at “Space” . It’s not just a sound investment but a requirement in today’s real estate market. Thanks to Kim and the Space Team. Lee Simonassi

Lee: Thank you for taking the time to send your detailed review. From the wall repairs, painting every room, to the carpet replacement and de-cluttering this must have been daunting for your first sale. However, proof is in the pudding and those multiple offers came through. I was so excited for your successful sale.

I can't properly say how transforming the kitchen 'organising' experience is. My husband opens the cupboards and all but kisses the frying pans. He keeps saying how much he loves the way it is all working, the layout, the space. And he's being very particular now about how he treats his beloved kitchen (halejula!) For me, well it's like I got permission to be neat. I no longer feel like i'm being overly picky about layout and order. It's not a bad thing-I want more!

Dear Kim: Thank you so much for taking the time to review my services. One of the things I love about my business is seeing my clients happy but also changed somehow in how they use their space. My joy is seeing the changes hold and maintain. It means the plan worked! I also remember you telling me that after the day we worked on your kitchen, your husband went on to completely organize his home office. Cheers, Kim

I was going through a break-up, about to have knee surgery and my Mom was coming to stay for a week! Kim came in and, without judgement, helped me sort through files, photos, finances and the like. Kim kept the goal of the project at the fore front and yet, she would work on achieving a mini goal with each visit. It was such a pleasure to come home and see a purchase she had made on display in its potential location....it was motivating and inspiring. For the record, I use all of the organizing strategies she implemented in my house....every single one.

Dear Melina: Thank you very much for not only reviewing my services but also sharing your story. That's what makes my job so unique. People, and the variety of reasons they need my services. Through all those challenges, you were so fun to work side by side with. I look forward to our next project in your lovely home.

"I had years of clutter in all of my closets and once Kim was finished with them, not only were they functional and tidy - they looked so good I was tempted to leave the doors open! It was a quick and easy process when she worked alongside me to reorganize. What a weight was lifted from my shoulders! I was just delighted with the outcome. She also helped restore my home office which is in a fairly small room. Once we decluttered, I was able to use work surfaces that hadn't seen the light of day in a while. I was able to invite clients in once again without worrying about the piles of paperwork that had accumulated. Thanks, Kim!"
