Karen gave us many useful tips and helped us choose the right colour for our cabinets and walls. She was always available when I had a question and replied to my messages promptly. With her help, our house got multiple offers and was sold in only 2 days over asking price.

Karen is such a pleasure to work with! She will go above and beyond your expectations. She's passionate about her work and she's incredibly creative with her home transformations. She is able to emphasize the positive aspects as well as enhance details that could generally be hit-or-miss with potential buyers. The furniture, accessories, artwork, and color schemes she uses will make your home look top notch. I would definitely recommend Karen for anyone in need of home staging/interior design. If you want to sell quickly, Staged with Kare is who you need!

Karen is a true professional. I have had at the fortune of using her staging services throughout 2020 and I have NOT been disappointed. Karen has an attention to detail and an eye for design that just seems to pull the entire house together! My clients adore her and have been thrilled with the outcome of their sale. I highly recommend Karen and Staged With Kare.

Karen was a dream to work with and she did an INCREDIBLE job staging my condo for sale. She turned it from a sparsely furnished bachelor lair into a stylish, fresh, dreamy condo that anyone would be lucky to live in. She is a professional to the max - well organized and so friendly and easy to work with. I will be recommending her to everyone and will certainly use her again when it comes time to sell our home. Thanks again so much, Karen!!

Natasha Winter

We were very happy with Karen's staging. She brought our house from bare walls to a beautiful attractive modern look. Our house sold in just a few days well above asking. I have no doubt that Karen's staging played a major part. If I need another stager in the future I would not hesitate to ask Karen for her great service again.

Tracey Beatty

Karen staged our home for sale. She is professional, reliable, talented and a joy to work with. She has a great eye for detail and her expert touches bring an elegant sophistication to any decor. Potential buyers love it, and I should know, with her help our house sold for well over asking!

David Thomson

Karen offered many useful suggestions for the staging of our home, many of which hadn't occured to us beforehand. Despite the fact that the consultation was done virtually (via ipad) Karen was still able to help us decide optimal layouts and what should be put into storage and decluttered as well as any improvements we could make. The pictures turned out beautifully and we were able to sell our home over asking price after just 3 days.

Elijah Senechal

Honestly so tasteful so classy and ohh so kind and accommodating. The best.

LeeAnne Gruber

Karen staged our rental house before we sold it. She made it look incredible! The house sold in 1.5 days and for $100 000 over asking price. I have zero doubt that her staging brought the traffic and interest to make this happen. Karen is amazing at what she does! Now I want her to come and design my house!

Kelly

We were selling our house and had tight deadlines. Karen worked quickly and and due to tight financial obligations she used the furnishing we had to complete the look of our house. Our home sold in 2 days and well over asking. I have already asked her to come to our new home once we are moved in. Thank you Karen for your great work.

Mic Jackson

Ms Karen Nguyen-Farrell was outstanding. She always arrived promptly & due to Covid, wearing a mask, she smiled warmly with her eyes. I immediately felt comfortable & at ease with her in my home. She had great ideas for paint colours & general design info. I hired her on the spot & she later returned to stage our home making it magazine worthy. Our home sold in one week, multiple offers & 60,000 over asking. I feel the light, modern airy decor was a huge factor in its successful presentation. Karen responded very quickly to my multiple questions & I always felt heard & my concerns eased. I would highly recommend this charming, professional & kind women to stage your home. Thank You Karen. Best wishes next year as President of KW Stagers M Jackson

When my real estate agent suggested we use a stager i was a bit hesitant as i have a keen eye for decorating, but i went ahead with the recommendation, and i was pleasantly surprised. Kare came in with ideas i never thought about, she brought in her own items (very current with the trends) and staged my house! House sold within a day! Staging is soo important, it grabs everyones attention to want to come in and see your house. Don't hesitate book with Kare!!!

Amanda Lyster

We worked with Karen through our realtor while selling our house in August 2021. She gave us very clear directions and tips during an initial visit and left us with a helpful booklet. When the house was listed, Karen came in and transformed the feel of our home with great decor, linens, and accent pieces. It elevated our listing and we received great feedback from buyers. Karen was wonderful to work with!

Chelsey Schwartzentruber

Karen’s attention to detail & recommendations to us on how to prepare our home for sale was pivotal in our home selling so fast.

I would highly recommend Karen for all your staying and design needs.

We decided to sell our home after living there for 25 years. Our realtor recommended Karen and I am SO glad she did! She is a superstar and so professional and friendly (and my dog LOVED her)! She gave our home the touches it needed to sell extremely quick and for over asking. I can't recommend her enough, she will absolutely brighten your home AND your day! Thank you Karen!!

Tiana McBride

Karen and her team at Staged with Kare are amazing! Karen took her time with our consult going through each room and assessing what needed to be done while working with everything we already had. She was creative, insightful and organized (she made detailed notes for us on each room which was such a nice touch). Our house looked amazing once Karen had done her magic! We almost didn't want to move! Every room was perfectly curated and our photos, tours and showings were the talk of the town. We will definitely be working with Karen for all our future decor and staging needs! Completely worth the investment!

Tuyet Le

We didn't want to spend the money initially for our investment property but after sitting on the market, we decided to call Karen and we are so glad we did after staging, the property got so much attention and sold within a week, we know we could not have done it without her. She is so friendly and patient and knows how to make your property stand out! We would recommend her and her team if you want to sell quick!

We used Staged with Kare for selling our home. Karen staged our home beautifully - basically didn't want to sell anymore! :) Her staging material is elegant and neutral. She is easy to connect with and on time for appointments. We highly recommend using Staged with Kare and if we weren't moving out of the province, we would connect again for future designs!

Diane Nigul

After 45 years of home ownership, our family needed to empty and prepare our parents home to sell. After much purging and prepping on our part, my siblings and I decided to use Karen’s services to stage our childhood home for sale. Karen’s staging of our family home took it to a level of beauty we had never seen it at before. We believe her staging strongly contributed to the multiple viewings and the quick sale of the house well above asking price. Our only regret is that our parents are not here to see how beautifully, Staged with Kare, made their home. Thank you Karen.

My Realtor who had worked with Staged With KARE before hired them to do a consult on my townhouse prior to listing it for sale. Karen was professional and courteous and the advice she provided made a big difference in the marketability of the home. From where to move furniture to what kind of art to hang on the walls. When we were finished the house looked like it was out of a magazine.

Our experience with Karen from "STAGED WITH KARE" was overwhelmingly positive!! We had purchased a home and needed to prepare our home for sale quickly. From the time Karen entered our home we felt comfortable with her down-to-earth, practical approach. She looked at each room systematically and explained what we should do to prepare our home for listing. She provided a "Listing Checklist" that detailed the recommendations clearly and concisely. That helped make the task easy to accomplish with the least amount of stress. We sold our home quickly with a very positive outcome. We highly recommend Karen from "STAGED WITH KARE". Thanks Karen!!

We were introduced by our real estate agent to Karen to stage our rental house. Admittedly, I was a little reluctant to stage just based on the extra cost. However, once Karen was done, I was sold. We didn't know the place could look like it belonged in a magazine. The process was quick, professional, and very easy. It definitely helped sell our place quicker and for more money. I wouldn't hesitant to use the service again

I had the opportunity to use Staged With Kare services for my first house, it was my first time using staging service and Karen did absolutely fantastic job in understanding my needs and staging the house.

Along with her expertise, the services were very affordable. Thank you Karen for all your help.

Roger Rai

Thank you Karen for all the help getting our condo ready for sale. It wasn't the ideal situation (Covid-19) for us to be selling our house. But you directed us and gave us the confidence to show our home that makes us not want to even sell it. Keep doing what you do! You're appreciated.

Aislynn Green

Our realtor recommended Karen to come and view our home before listing it on the market. When I called Karen to book our appointment, she was very professional, helpful and quick to book us in for an appointment. When Karen came to our house, she was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Karen gave great recommendations for each room. Whether it was moving a lamp here or there, she helped give us the ideas to spruce up our house with items we already had. Karen was also accommodating in picking out a paint colour for our walls. I reached out to Karen, again before our move to have her help with more painter colours(for our front door). I will go to Karen again if I need help in the future for staging or just a home decor consultation.

Karen recently staged our home via the virtual staging service she offers, and i cannot rave enough about her expertise and professionalism during the whole process. She was able to fit us in very quickly for a consultation, and dropped off the staging items shortly after so we could have our home listed promptly. Karen has such a warm and friendly personality, which helped with my stresses of getting our home ready for sale, and the plans she made for our home and items she dropped off were exactly what it needed to look it's best! We sold our home in 3 days with her help, and are so happy and grateful for her help. My only wish we could keep all of her beautiful pillows and decor items! :) Thank-you, Karen!
