No matter what your budget, Sue can help you see your home with fresh eyes.  She has a knack for showing you hot to take what you have and adding just a few items, create a wonderful up to date look.  Lorna Weston-Smyth

Sue has been a tremendous help to me with my interior decorating problems.  She is very personalable and posesses the knowledge to enhance your focal point in each room, whether it be thru wall color, re-arrangement of furniture or purchasing accent pieces.  Heck, on some occassions she has even told me what store carries the items!  Decorating on a budget must hbe her slogan because she has proven it time and time again.  Sue's aid made my decorating easier.

My husband and I were selling our condo during a time when selling condos was at it's peak in our area, so we decided to hire an interior decorator to get that edge on our competition.  After meeting Sue from Room for Chnage, we decided that we liked her budget-oriented, friendly yet no-nonsense approach to staging our condo.  She helped us understand that staging was all about the WOW factor, and by using the items that we currently had in our home we incurred minimal expense.  We recieved many comments from the real estate agents that viewed our condo, that ours was defintely the one to beat for presentation and we are happy to say that it sold in 3 showings thanks to Sue and her expert advice.  Then when we moved into our hourse, we became stuck with how to place our furniture in our L-shaped living room so we called Sue and within a half hour visit, she was able to guide us on how to place our furniture so that both my husband and I were happy!  I would highly recommend Sue from Room for Change if you are lookin for practical yet decorating ideas that both flair and class.

Real Estate Kudos

 

I have had the privilege of working with Sue through the staging of my clients homes.   Sue works hard to please the realtor and the clients in making their home presentable and ready for a quick sale.  Her friendly manner and professionalism is a great assist and helps my homes sell quickly.  I use Sue for every home that I list because I know both I and my clients get a great return on this investment.  I will continue to use Sue and look forward to a long relationship.   Ashley Stevens - Keller Williams Energy

 

 I always encourage my clients to use Sue to stage our homes for sale. Her skills always help sell my listings faster and for more money. Her positive attitude and gentle approach make the home staging an enjoyable part of the sales process for the seller. Thanks Sue!"  Jayson Pohl Re/Max First

 I just wanted to let you know that you have done it again! We had  multiple offers on Carolines Townhouse and sold it for more than the list
 price in just a few days. A lot of the credit for this has to go to you. I  am totally convinced that my clients sell their homes quicker and for more
 money because of the incredible staging you do on their homes. Their  success is my success.  Thank you so much for everything. Geoff Gill Re/Max First

It's important that each home being put on the real estate market is presented in the best possible way.  It is difficult for all of us to objectively view our own homes.  Sue Pitchforth does an amazing job of assisting homeowners transform their homes into showpieces.  For several years, I have been using Sue's services to help my sellers and the results have been excellent.  I highly recommend Sue and her company to any agent or seller putting a home on the market.  Jane West Re/Max Jazz

 
Sue has been my home staging consultant for many years and I have come to rely on her expertise for making ordinary homes extraordinary.  I have no doubt that by bringing Sue in before listing a property adds a minimum of $5,000 to the sale price and cuts weeks off the listing period.  Since using Sue my average sale price has increased and my average days on market has decreased.   She is reliable, professional and highly skilled at her job.  I would wholeheartedly recommend her to my fellow Durham Realtors and homeowners looking to bring a fresh change to their living environment. Trevor Silverson Re/Max First 

 

Real estate, perhaps more than most industries, is extremely competitive. With changes to how business is conducted and the lack of service out there, it's crucial for success to have a team of professionals that understand the importance of integrity, detail and doing what's best for our clients. In working with Sue Pitchforth of Room dor Change, I have found this and much more. Sue's ability to connect with my clients on a personal level and provide a calming energy in any space with her unique staging abilities, using what the clients have in their home, not asking them to spend thousands of dollars has allowed me build a strong business and more importantly, my clients to have a sense that someone is looking out for their best interests.
