Smart Magazine (Summer 2008/2009)

I am an artistic person and I didn’t want to turn my home into a show home, it was important that it still reflected my personality as we were still living in the house. I wanted to feel that I was listened to and this is exactly what happened. Anthea didn’t bulldoze me, and we were able to work together with my personal style which we elevated to appeal to a broader target market. We were totally thrilled as we achieved well over our dream price. The house looked blooming brilliant, Thanks so much for your guidance.

I’ve been meaning to get in touch to thank you for the amazing job you did with our house. It sold in six days and the price went beyond our wildest dreams. The agent reports everyone who came through the house, without exception, commented on how beautifully decorated it was…thanks to you guys. One woman asked if I was an interior designer? A couple of people asked if they were the successful bidder at auction could they buy some things from us, including your hide rug that was in the media room! I think the reaction from prospective buyers tells me you got the look and feel just right…it wasn’t like a display home that no-one would ever live in, yet it was stunning enough to produce that WOW factor and a genuine desire to live here. We are so pleased we used you and believe it was the best investment we could have made to ensure top dollar at auction. Thanks again girls …you were all a pleasure to work with and you really know your stuff!

I have had the pleasure of working with Anthea and her team at Homebase for many years now.

They are so accommodating offering many options and greatly assist in maximising a properties attributes, ensuring the best possible presentation is achieved.

Dear Anthea and the Homebase team,

We wanted to thank you for the excellent service you provided for our recent house sale.  Your valuable decorating advice was simple and achievable for non-decorators like us and made a huge difference to how our home was presented.  The addition of the items we could hire from you at a very reasonable cost really enhanced our opportunity to promote our home in the best possible light.  Your team was so helpful and easy to work with – nothing was too much trouble and the result was very pleasing.

With thanks and kind regards

Mark and Glenis

We would like to thank you very much for the friendly and professional service that you provided to us recently, when we were preparing our house for marketing. You have all been very friendly and always willing to help. Nothing was too much effort – even our difficult stair access! It was great being able to hire pieces using your Pick ‘n’ Mix option, rather than being forced into taking a package of a house-lot of furniture. Our living room was transformed and looked quite the part for the marketing photography and open homes we held. It certainly gave the house the added extra that it needed, and we have had a lot of interest in the house.
