Kind And Uplifting Throughout The Whole Experience
We have a large family home that once encompassed five individuals. We quickly realized that our home was too large for us with our one daughter now working and out on her own and our son away full time at university. It was a very full house that had now become sparse with people and obvious that it time to list our home for sale and downsize.
It was quite daunting as we had a very full home, full of memories, photos, childhood treasures and items that had been collected over the years.
We had done our best at decluttering but had a hard time parting with certain photos and memories. We had freshly painted the interior and I really didn’t think there was much staging left to do….until we met the awesome Alicia.
Alicia was kind and gracious when she came in and as we did the walk-through of our home she explained the reason for removing photos of the family, childhood memories, etc., that it was more about creating the stage of a home where someone else could see themselves in and visualize their own memories in the home.
We de-personalized even more and with Alicia’s explanations and expertise it really made sense. Since our home has been listed we have really gotten used to living with less than we thought we needed. It’s amazing how much you can accumulate and how much you really don’t need. We have things in boxes in a storage unit that I have not missed, nor has anyone else asked for anything inside those boxes. It will certainly make are downsizing much easier as we know now we don’t need as much as we thought we did.
Alicia was very kind and uplifting throughout the whole experience. I texted her a few times with different ideas and different pictures and she was fabulous. She always had time for us, gave us fabulous suggestions and was very genuine about all of her comments.
All we can say now is thank you Alicia and thank you Peggy Hill for bringing Alicia to us.
