When first listing our home, our agent brought two stagers who simply said, "Your furnishings are
so lovely, there is very little we can do to improve this home." Although that might have made us feel good at
the moment, the home remained on the market for eight months.
When we changed agents, she introduced us
to Deb and Dina. They were remarkable in their ability to retain elegance yet reduce the number of furnishings.
In rearranging the remaining items, new areas of flow were created and the feeling of spaciousness was incredible.
Our home received an offer during the first week after the staging and was sold within six weeks for very close
to the asking price.
In this difficult market, we feel that the staging was a most important part of
this sales process. Deb and Dina are not only proficient in creating a beautiful space but delightful and easy to work
with!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank
you both for the fabulous job you did in staging my home. Your professionalism and talent is what I believe helped to
sell our home the very first weekend it was on the market. Not only did it sell right away, but we also received
our asking price.
Your innovative ideas, at a very reasonable price, is what clinched the deal. We
look forward using your services in the future.

My listing
in Greenwich had been on the market for about 1 1/2 years. It was newly constructed and empty, in an ultra-exclusive
private location with many beautiful features and yet potential buyers were having a hard time imagining how to use a few
areas of the home.
I called in LaBella Spaidal to work their staging magic and the property looked gorgeous! They
changed the paint color in a few rooms and furnished it so tastefully and in a way that really showcased the space. Most importantly,
it sold and the buyer's agent told me your staging is what cinched the deal. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our house was on the market
for months with lots of showings, but no offers. When we signed with a new broker, she brought Deb and Dina in that
same day.
We weren't sure what to expect, but it was amazing
how they used what we had to open up the space and overall make the house look great, plus it was fascinating to watch them
work. We are certain that the work they did had a huge impact on selling our house.
Oh yeah... we sold the house 7 days later at over asking price! Thanks, Deb & Dina.
Randy and Lynn G., Norwalk, CT
Homeowner
"Our home had
been on the market for several months with no success. The second time around we had a new realtor who provided encouraging
statistics on the benefits of staging. LaBella Spaidal proved it all true! Deb and Dina did a fabulous job – really
rolling up their sleeves and bringing to life a vision of our home that I had not been able to create.
Results? We had an offer on our home 24 hours after our first Open House! We closed in less than 4 weeks.
Besides that, it was a pleasure to work with such creative professionals as Deb and Dina.
I only wish we had hired LaBella Spaidal when we moved in seven years ago and had an opportunity to enjoy
the lovely interior they created!"
Kathleen R., Trumbull, CT
Homeowner We couldn't be happier or more satisfied
with the job that you did for us. Because of your unique style and approach, our home showed beautifully, and sold in nine
days.
We actually had four offers and sold over our asking price! Thank
you, thank you, thank you!
Patti and John G., Fairfield, CT
Homeowner Our daughter lived in our Wilton condominium and moved after
she married and needed a larger home. It sat empty on the real estate market with little interest and no
offers. After six months, we took it off the market, and called Labella Spaidal. Dina
and Deb did a beautiful job in staging our condo, and they made it far more attractive than other, comparable units in our
complex. Prior to re-listing, we decided to update the kitchen and entry. They were
invaluable in helping us select cabinetry and flooring options, as well as coordinating all the details of the project.
Since we were out-of-state owners, we could not have completed a project of this magnitude without their assistance. We
firmly believe that their expertise and tasteful furnishings allowed us to sell our unit quickly. Dina
and Deb were a joy to work with, and we consider them more than stagers and decorators, we consider them friends. Tom

Being a Realtor, I’m exposed to the power of home
staging on a daily basis. Home staging in the real estate market is the equivalent to set design in the theater world or marketing
in the consumer goods arena. Home owners who embrace this notion that home staging is an integrated part of the selling process
enjoy far more success. When
I recently decided to sell my own home, I was certain to practice what I preach. Like most sellers, I wanted my home to sell
fast in a sluggish market. Needless to say, the first thing I did before listing was call LaBella Spaidal. While working with
them in conjunction with clients, I had been extremely impressed with their work – especially their sensitivity to different
tastes and budgets. Dina
and Deb really listen to the client, which is why I will continue to recommend them. I’ve worked with them on a 9,000
sq ft bachelor pad as well as a 2,500 sq ft family home. I am always amazed by the “wow factor” they achieve regardless
of the size and scope of the project. They bring it all together!

I was working with newlyweds, searching for just the right place to call home. Craig
and Vicki were so excited when we found it, the perfect house! They couldn’t wait to begin their
new life together, unfortunately, everything was on hold until Craig’s condominium sold.
The overwhelming inventory
in today’s market makes selling a home much more challenging than in recent years. Within Craig’s
complex there were several other units for sale, so the competition was right at his doorstep.
After 8 weeks on the market
with little to no activity, I turned to LaBella Spaidal Staging & Design. My clients followed
Deb & Dina’s professional advice and within one week they got an offer!
I continue to rely on LaBella Spaidal Staging & Design for the finishing touches
that make my listings shine, and sell!

Before we hired you, our house in New Haven, CT sat on the market for
3 months in late 2006 with no offers, despite over 50 showings.
Then we took it off the market
and re-evaluated. Our agent was pressing us for a huge price cut. We countered by doing some research of our own and discovered
the broad evidence in favor of staging. At first, we thought we could read a book and do it ourselves (she has a MD,
I have a doctorate - we imagined we could figure it out). However, it was quickly apparent to us that we did not know what
we were doing and that this was not a job for amateurs.
We are now delighted that we contacted you. The
two of you saw possibilities fore "redesigning" the look of home's interior just through rearranging our furniture
and our possessions (including our artwork) that would NEVER have occurred to us. It was amazing to see the two of you do
the heavy moving yourselves with the help of sliders and other ingenious gadgets.
When we put our "staged"
house back on the market in early 2007 with only a modest price reduction, we had two full price bids and a contract in
our hands within 4 days. We had to cancel our open house scheduled for that Sunday!
We
had many, many positive remarks about how "peaceful" and "attractive" the interior looked. There is no
doubt in our minds that your work in staging the house was crucial to our success in a tough real estate market.
Hiring you was the single best financial decision we made in selling our house - we estimate that we realized a return of
at least 10 times what we invested in hiring you to stage our house.
Thank you!
Edward M., New
Haven, CT
Homeowner I can't say enough wonderful things about LaBella
Spaidal Staging & Design! Deb and Dina were incredible! What a terrific job they did staging my home.
They came in for an initial consult, stayed less than an hour, gave me a list of things I could do to help
improve some of the rooms (if I had time) and came back a few days later ready to do their thing. They transformed my
small, crowded, cluttered little antique into a clean, clutter-free, beautiful home. They worked so hard and were absolutely
great.
I had an offer in writing in less than 48 hours after the realtor's open house.
I'm actually hoping to bring them up to my new home in RI and have them help me transform my new living space.
Sincerely, Mary Jo R., Redding
Homeowner You both did a fantastic job getting our home ready for sale. I love how
you have arranged all the small items as well as the big items.
You both did so much! I am impressed that you moved furniture and rugs from one floor to the next.
It is such a great peace of mind
to know that we have prepared the home for sale. I do regret not having you arrange the furniture
when we first moved in. I am looking forward to your help with our new home. Thank
you again.
Sold in 4 weeks!

Realtor LaBella Spaidal Staging came into a challenging project with great care and sensitivity
to my clients situation. Both principals consulted with us and made the home owner feel very comfortable with the objectives
of selling their homes.
After the project was completed the home sold within two weeks.
LaBella Spaidal was a tremendous addition to the marketing efforts of this home and will surely be used in other projects.
Tom V., Realtor, Stamford Homeowner Your work is professional, timely and
fiscally responsible. You managed to dramatically improve the feel of my home, making it significantly more salable.
Brian F., Danbury
Realtor The staging provided by LaBella Spaidal
has made all the difference in helping me, as a realtor, sell my listings. Deb and Dina are a true pleasure to work with.
Their hard work and creativity has given my clients that competitive edge that was needed to help their homes stand out
from the others on the market. I will continue to recommend Deb and Dina to future clients as long as I am in the business.
