My client, a gentleman who had been caring for his wife for many years, was overwhelmed when he contacted me to sell his home of 41 years . With his wife comfortably settled in a nursing home, he admitted that he was lonely and had decided to accept his daughter's invitation to move in with her family.

However, the prospect of sorting through decades of clothing, papers, tools and hardware, kitchen items, linens, china, and the general bric a brac of life was not something he felt he could handle. He was also not prepared for the physical work of getting a home ready for market, especially a home that had been modified to enable him to better care for his wife but had otherwise remained untouched in many years. There was worn paint, outdated wallpaper, a damaged kitchen floor and a highlight of the home, rich oak hardwood floors, that were hidden under worn and dated wall to wall carpeting.

If the house went on the market "as is", it would have been viewed as a "fixer-upper" which would have cost my client in terms of the selling price. I didn't want to see that happen.

Both he and his home needed some TLC. That's where Room Remedy came in. In less than two weeks, Room Remedy cleared decades of clutter, removed wallpaper, painted, put down a new kitchen floor, removed carpeting, cleaned windows and light fixtures. They left each room well presented for buyers to appreciate the spaciousness and features of the home. The property sold in six days, over asking price, and best of all, my client was beaming with happiness!

Hi Donna and Judee,

I wanted to send a huge thank you to both of you. I followed about 95% of your suggestions and my house sold the first day I showed it. Wally, the dear man in my life, called me last Friday and said we had to have an open house on Sunday as one of my neighbours was having one. The painting had been completed and most of the work done that you had suggested. My roommate had not done anything up to that point. Luckily his wife came from Montreal and between the two of them got everything done that had to be done.

Wally and I finished up and I was still washing the hallway floor when the first person arrived. There were 6 visitors and the first man came back on Monday evening for a second look and made an offer on Tuesday. I accepted it and the closing date is August 9.

I am just THRILLED!! Wally and I were amazed. One woman who came through used to be a real estate agent and she said the house was exactly how she liked to see a house for sale - decluttered and easy to imagine one's own belongings in it.

Your method is perfect and I would certainly recommend your services to anyone selling their home.

AGAIN THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I'm going to take pictures before packing up the rest of the house....I want to remember the way it looks now. I just love it!

Keep up the great work!

Judee & Donna did a superb job of preparing my father's house for sale. In three days they did a job that I could not have accomplished in three weeks. They saw to the removal of two decades of clutter, cleaned and fixed minor problems, redistributed furniture and pictures to make the house look much more spacious and attractive. All this was done at very short notice and with an energy and cheerfulness that swept over all obstacles.

I would guess that Room Remedy added thousands of dollars to the value of father's house, both by improving its appearance and by allowing us to hit a good market window.

I would certainly recommend Room Remedy to others who have houses to prepare for sale!

Room Remedy is exactly the assistance we needed to help sell our townhouse in Greenboro/South Keys area. They systematically went through each and every room and told us what to take out what to move, and what to replace to be ready to put our house on the market.

Selling a house is a tough job, but we couldn't have done it nearly as well without Room Remedy. My husband and I can't say enough about the good Room Remedy did for us. To give you a hint on how Room Remedy changed us, we now live a much less cluttered lifestyle in our new home because of their suggestions in their original report. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to anyone selling their home, and based on some of the homes we saw when we were looking for our new home, those owners could have used Room Remedy too!

Thank You Room Remedy!

It was time to move on. 15 years, three bedrooms and four kids later we were more than a little crowded and cluttered. Your analysis and friendly advice was right on. We cleared the clutter, opened up the space, and sold in four days. Everything suggested was attainable without great expense, just a little hard work. It just wouldn't have worked without you!
