Excellent. Taught me al lot about the process and why it was necessary.
Richard Simpson, Kingston, Ontario
Our firm, Varsity Properties, hired Martha to stage a new townhouse development for marketing photography. We presented her with a hard challenge and she came through for us with flying colours. She staged 3 suites with the same furniture, making each look unique, recommended and coordinated a fantastic photographer and arranged for the arrival, assembly and movement of furniture through all 3 suites in under in 48 hours. We are so impressed and pleased to recommend her services. She and her team did a truly outstanding job for us!

You did an incredible job. I am very impressed. I will strongly recommend your services again. WOW! Great job.
Sean Dennee, Re/Max Realty Concepts Corp., Kingston, Ontario
Martha is a meticulous stager who always gives 100% effort to her clients to ensure the best results.
I have been associated with her through our business activities for the past 4 years or so and have never heard a negative comment about her or her work. She has proven time and again that a well staged home sells faster, and usually for a higher price.
Martha is involved in several business networking activities that give her the contacts she needs to ensure her success to the benefit of her clients.
I know if I ever sell my home I will definately have Martha stage it for me first. She is the reason home staging is so effective in the Kingston market.
Steve Butts, Home Select Inspections, Kingston, Ontario
As a Realtor I have used Martha's services on several occasions and have been extremely impressed with the results each and every time. Martha makes my job alot easier to do!

Martha amazed me!! She was in our house for a short period of time, and we got to work on the tasks at hand, I had decided to rent living room furniture, Martha remembered the colors in two antique pictures that were the focal point in the room, she then picked the furniture out and brought all the right accessories with her. Our place looked great and we were told many times how well our house showed. We will have her over to our new house. Thanks Martha
Rhonda Beare, Kingston, Ontario
We are very grateful for the excellent recommendations you made in your consultation report and will implement many.

Martha did a wonderful job making my home look perfect! Planning for her arrival really made me get ready and stop procrastinating on getting started with packing & de-cluttering!
homeowner, Kingston, Ontario
The house on Lawton looks great. Thanks for your efforts ... you did a great job and we'll be in touch again I'm sure.
Jim Hinton, Re/Max Realty Concepts, Brokerage Kingston
When our military posting message came through, we spent March Break and Easter putting in a ceramic
floor to go with the hardwood floor we had already installed. As avid DIY's, I looked online for staging
tips to declutter and arrange my furniture. But with 4 kids, 4 previous moves and my husband off for 6
weeks leaving me to sell the house, I wanted to be confident showing the home and sell it quickly. Three
days before our first open house I called Martha and she graciously came right over. She provided me with
options; I picked one, and her team returned the next day. The results were immediate and fantastic.
We were so proud to open our home. I especially loved the art placement in unpredictable places and
levels. A great investment.
Vicki & Rob Hart, Kingston, Ontario
I really can't believe my townhouse sold in 3 days. The neighbour's similar house has been on the market since January, but my sale was so quick and easy.
The staging services of Martha Stanton-Smith of Rearrangements and her associate are fabulous.
I trust them completely and recommend them to everyone.
Caitlin Rodger, Kingston, Ontario
Martha did a fantastic job with staging my house. I came back to find it transformed. What's more,
the house sold after only one day on the market, with multiple offers and above the asking price! I don't
think we'd have had that result without the work Martha put in to make the house look so good. Overall a
great experience.
J. Hugh Horton, Associate Professor & Associate Head Department of Chemistry, Queens University, Kingston, Ontario
I am so impressed. You did a fabulous job. Compliments to you both. I'm sure this is going to make a real
difference... The house looks great... You really did it quickly and it's just right.
Jeri Mooney, Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty
When Martha looks at your home she sees it with eyes that most of us don't have. Her sense of space and flow
are apparent within the first few minutes of listening to her. I found myself nodding and approving to the small but
powerful suggestions that she made in her calm and professional demeanor. Like most things in life, the closer we
are to something the more things we do not see, our perspective becomes limited. Thanks, Martha!
Tracie Tattrie, Team Tait, Royal LePage ProAlliance Realty, Kingston, Ontario
Martha did a wonderful job staging our house to sell. It sold for more than asking within one week of going
on the market with several viewers, and competitive offers. Those that saw the house said it looked warm and inviting,
without it appearing too particular to one family. Martha managed to add accents where they counted and remove
objects that were unappealing or overly customized. She had great ideas that were used to make the house look
great. Even friends who stopped by said that the house looked fantastic. We almost reconsidered staying in our
home. We were thrilled and impressed with Martha's work and would highly recommend her to anyone wanting to get
the best offer for their home.

As a realtor in a busy real estate market, it is wonderful to be able to rely on the skills and creativity offered by Martha Stanton-Smith and Rearrangements. I know that I can call on Martha to assist in the best presentation of a home about to be listed and that her improvements will radically increase the saleability of the property... more dollars in less time. Martha provides a thorough consultation with recommendations and, if required, will efficiently & economically make the changes necessary to show the house to its best advantage.
With a competitive real estate market, Rearrangements can make the difference! Martha is part of my real estate team!
Jeri Mooney, Royal LePage Proalliance Realty
My tenants rent my condos over the competition because they like all the little decorating touches. They alway say the suites are the nicest they've seen for the money. In fact, one tenant begged to keep some of the artwork and furnishings in the place, as he didn't feel he could recreate the look.
I'm getting top dollar for my properties just because they showed so well. In one case, other suites
with equivalent square footage and layout in the same building get almost a hundred a month less. I feel this
is due to the face-lift Martha gave the place.
