I just wanted to thank you for the great staging that you and Sue have done on my listings in 2008. They really have enhanced the salability of these properties and have thankfully sold. I always appreciate the extra effort that you both provide to my clients and the presentation has always been done in an excellent manner.
Sincerely,
Trying to sell your house?
As a Senior Rental Consultant for CORT, over the last eight years I’ve had the pleasure of working with many talented stagers and designers in the Philadelphia and southern New Jersey areas. When I met Deb Sabel and Sue Sommers from S & S Simply Staged, they were looking to present ideas to their very skeptical customer who had been trying, to no avail, to sell a vacant house.
While Deb and Sue bounced creative ideas off each other and selected the furnishings and décor that CORT has to offer, I couldn’t help but visualize the culmination of their inspired brainstorming. They instantly transformed a cold and sparse house into a buyer’s dream home. Deb and Sue performed their magic, CORT provided the beautiful furniture, artwork, and area rugs, and within weeks the house was sold and the sellers were on their way to their new destination!
After a very short while of working together with this dynamic duo on various projects, I knew I was working with two women who know how to master the marketing techniques of selling a house in today’s challenging market. I’ve also recognized that besides their innate talent, Deb and Sue’s winning smiles and warm personalities always seem to ease a homeowner’s trepidation while they witness the transition of their "home" into a depersonalized "house" that can be marketed to the majority of homebuyers. Extremely conscious of their clients’ budgets and many times urgent deadlines for last minute "open houses", Deb and Sue never forget the human factor of their clients’ needs. The greater part of the proposals I’ve provided to S & S Simply Staged have came to fruition because Deb and Sue’s presentations always seem to impact the "sell-side" of the real estate transactions.
Being in the industry I know the importance of preparing a house for sale before the property goes on the market. I have only praise and admiration for Deb and Sue’s ability to maximize a home’s potential while increasing the perceived value. If you or anyone you know wants to market their house for a quick sale at top dollar, I can highly recommend the services of S & S Simply Staged! It’s a "Win – Win" situation for everyone involved, homeowner, homebuyer, and the real estate agent!

January 7, 2009 I have become a real fan of staging and of S & S Simply Staged in order to get homes sold in this market. Prior to meeting Deb Sable, I had a couple of very iffy experiences with staging and their results. Fortunately, one of my clients about a year ago found Deb through her research. I had seen the house before and after they did their magic and it was truly remarkable. The house also sold in less than 2 weeks for a bit more than the clients thought they would get! I was sold and have used them for every client that will listen. Their staged homes have all sold! Deb and Sue have a wonderful way of getting the client motivated and the end result is that we are putting a property on the market that is head and shoulders above the others in the price range. My clients have all thanked me for introducing them to S & S Simply Staged. They are a pleasure to work with and truly gifted professionals. If I could, I would have every single one of my listings staged. It is increasingly becoming a necessary part of selling in this market. There is just too much competition and buyers are so picky.

Dear Debbie and Sue,
It was indeed our good fortune to meet you both and more importantly engage your services. From the onset your attitude was enthusiastic and exciting, brimming over with ideas to transform our home into a showplace. When I returned to the home to inspect your hard work the result was rewarding. My immediate reaction was "Wow"! I'm certain that all potential "visitors, buyers" will have the same response. Thank you both for making our home more competitive in the current Real Estate Market.
Sincerely,
Rita and Jim Kempski
To Whom it May Concern,
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for S & S Simply Staged. Deb and Sue's ability to stage a home prior to its going on the market for sale is outstanding. As a real estate agent, I have seen their successful projects and have been impressed with their vision and thoroughness in creating a plan to optimize a homes's innate fine qualities. I feel confident in recommending their services to my clients.
As a further testimonial, I can personally vouch for their skill. We have been contemplating putting our home on the market, and in preparation for that I hired S & S Simply Staged as stagers for my own home. Their initial plan included the purchase of new sheer curtains, (not expensive) furniture rearrangement, and a far better display of my artwork in my first floor office. I am planning on using them again in the fall to stage my master bedroom suite and bathrooms.

Dear Deborah, I wanted to take a minute to extend this letter of reference to you for a job well done! I have been in the real estate market for 35 years. And during this time I have seen many homes on the market for sale. Suffice to say that I have seen enough to know, what differentiates one home from another, what makes one home sell faster than another , and what allows a seller to ask "top dollar" for his home. Since I was introduced to your company and had the pleasure of working with you on the staging of a home for sale, I can honestly say that your techniques are incredible and should "set the standard". The home you staged was magnificent and shouted your talents. I believe, because of your efforts, that home presented as nice as any listed home for sale that I have seen in 35 year tenure. Deborah, your team created a first and lasting impression, and because of your role in staging this home to sell.... it did! That alone speaks volumes of your excellent (and worthwhile) work in today's market. I want to thank you for the wonderful job and want you to know that I will recommend you to each and every client that will need your talents Sincerely, Toni Diamond Prudential Realty
