I highly recommend Diana to my fellow Realtors who want to stage their listings. She truly cares for your clients. Customer satisfaction is very important to her, also. Diana's extensive knowledge and pleasing sense of style make the staged homes look stunning!

Diana was a godsend.  She was able to take a fresh eye and turn a crowded or ordinary space into a clean and vibrant one!  With her ideas and sense of design and above all, her willingness to roll up her sleeves with me and do the work, I was able to turn my home into a showcase. 

Thank you Diana!

To Whom It May Concern,

Re: Diana Zinck, The Stage Coach

As an active real estate agent I am sold on "home staging" and implement this marketing strategy on all my listings.  First and foremost I found Diana's professional yet personal manner with my clients very quickly puts them at ease in what can be, at times a "delicate" situation.  Diana not only brings her abundant design skills but also, as an organizer,  she is able to assist my elderly clients through the emotional process  of "down sizing".  As the saying goes," the proof is in the pudding" and I have had nothing but positive feedback from my clients regarding Diana's assistance.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

"Recently, I referred some clients to Diana for some home staging consultation.  Not only did she perform her duties in a timely and professional manner, she was sensitive to my client's feelings when recommending changes to their home.  In the end, my clients were very pleased with her work and my recommendation.  I will continue to call upon Diana's knowledge and expertise wherever possible in the future."

“Comfortable in the same home for many years and planning to stay, might some changes now be a good idea? Do I really need that separate dining room when family and friends prefer the dinette with its great view?  If I moved my computer and the convertible bed/couch into the dining room and thereby re-captured the second bedroom?  Ideas, doubts, some caution.  A neighbor told me about Diana.  In a visit to my home, conversation and Diana’s quiet expertise quickly reassured me.  I felt very comfortable with each of her recommendations and gave her the go-ahead.  A delight to see her work, any problem, Diana quickly overcomes.  Relax and leave things to her.  I love the result, it works. “

“Thank you for the wonderful job you did in coaching my seller. My lady didn’t have a lot of extra money to do a full staging so I really appreciate the extra effort you made working with what she had.

She had out grown her small condo and it showed. It was so cluttered that I was not sure it was even salable.  I don’t know what you said or how you said it but it worked magic. The next day she had booked movers to store all of the things you had suggested she move. She rearranged her furniture to your specs and hired your cleaner to give her place the final spit and polish. It looked great!

Your magic touch added at least $10,000.00 to the final sale price of her home.

Thank you for the excellent work. You know that I will be using you again.”

“I worked with Diana Zinck on a listing in the Broadmead area of Victoria.

Diana made my job so much easier. The manor in which she interacted with my clients was very professional and friendly.  She pointed out all the areas they would need to work on and offered suggestions and help, always without offending. They were excited and motivated to make the changes. The report she supplied when done was a huge help to them to ensure they never missed a thing. The value of the house went up significantly. The before and after pictures are incredible. My clients were thrilled and so was I.  THANK YOU!”

“Thank you for your recent diplomatic comprehensive consultation service regarding staging my condo in preparation for its sale. Before your consultation I felt overwhelmed by the pending de-cluttering and staging process. I did not know how to approach these somewhat daunting tasks. After listening to your comments and recommendations during your thorough assessment of my condo and the location of its assorted contents I had a better understanding of the what, why and how aspects of staging. Also, I accepted the importance of careful staging to make my place competitive in the current real estate market.....

Your generous support, positive attitude and skillful coaching has motivated me to implement the staging process in my condo with confidence and optimism.”

“Diana's job was to give us ( a very tired and anxious pair) the last set of instructions before listing our house.

She was helpful and knowledgeable without being pushy. We were grateful, and have referred her to friends.”

“After we had listed our award winning home on the market for several months, the response from the market was mixed. People tended to have difficulties envisioning the function of the space. We decided to utilize The Stage Coach's service to solve this problem.

Wow, the reaction from clients and realtors after the furnishings and decor were installed was phenomenal!  Everyone commented on what a difference it made to make the house feel like a home, and how much easier it was for potential buyers to imagine themselves living there, and how their furniture would fit in. It even made the home feel larger!

Diana Zinck of The Stage Coach was very thorough and efficient in the execution of her work. As a result of her work, we believe that we sold quicker and for a higher price then if we had not used her service. We will definitely be using The Stage Coach again!”

“I hired The Stage Coach to prepare my home to sell. I really didn't think that I needed to make any changes. After they were finished I couldn't believe the difference. They made me a true believer. We sold the house in just one week and for our asking price. I will definitely recommend The Stage Coach.”
