​Testimonial 2020
 
My house was on the market in 2018 and 2019 for (total 1 year on the market).  I had no offers.  Before I listed in January of 2020, my realtor suggested going with a stager. We thought our house looked good and why spend the money? But I guess good wasn’t good enough because it hadn’t sold in two years.  I needed to see some activity on the house, so we agreed to the consultation.
At our initial meeting, my husband and I immediately felt comfortable with Robin and after seeing her portfolio pictures, we knew we needed the expertise of a stager. The transformations in the photos of the homes she staged were amazing.
She pointed out many things I knew in my heart had to be changed.  Furniture that was handed down to us just looked old and out of place in my home and made the house unappealing. I knew we needed help so I let go of my fears and let Robin have free rein.  Boy did it payoff!  The new photos made my house look gorgeous and spacious.
The cost of the staging was much less than expected and it was well worth it.  We had an offer in 9 days and were in contract within 2 weeks.
Working with Robin was a pleasure.  She is knowledgeable, flexible and made us feel that selling our home was her top priority.
I highly recommend hiring Great Impressions Staging and can’t say enough great things about Robin and her crew.

A Recent Testimonial... 2020
​
Our experience with Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging can be described in three words: "Beyond Our Expectations!"
The transformation Robin accomplished was jaw dropping "Wow!" and our decision to contract her to stage our home was well worth the effort.
Robin made the transition easy. Her confident, yet relaxed and warm personality, mixed with her genuine, helpful advice was a bonus. Robin's talent and attention to detail was evident at the initial consultation, yet we were amazed at what she accomplished in such a short time, while never appearing rushed, as she calmly and methodically performed her "makeover".
Robin clearly loves what she does. She shared in our excitement when our house went under agreement in just 4 days after it was listed. She was remained joyful and enthusiastic for us even on the day she removed her staging furniture and accessories from our home.
It was a pleasure to work with Robin in the selling of our home.

Testimonial December 2019
 
We found out in early December that we had to sell our house and relocate and ideally we wanted to do this quickly.  We engaged Adam Dow and Margot Skelley immediately to help us do this.  December is not the ideal time for selling at Lake Winnipesaukee but they assured us we were in a great, desirable neighborhood.  They suggested using Robin Webster at Great Impressions Staging as well for staging purposes and so we engaged her too!  It went so well, better than we ever expected.  Robin was able to have a phone call with us to see what we wanted staged, get into our house with her team and perform the job quickly.  We loved her staging too!  I even wanted to buy a few of the pieces from her!  The house looked beautiful and so much brighter.  The house was listed December 24th and we accepted an offer that first weekend. 
Amazing. We closed on the house on February 27th.  It was an all around smooth and easy process.  Robin was able to move out the staging quickly and efficiently and she left the house spotless.  We were super impressed.  I highly recommend the use of Robin for your staging needs if you are looking for a quick sale at a great price!

"You just know when you made the right choice...Michelle Nai! Adam Dow, Michelle and the entire team of the Dow group are exceptional at every step of the way as they sold our “new construction home”. We met Adam at a golf tournament, a friend had asked if we sold the house yet? It had been on the market for an entire year, he said to talk Adam, and you will get it sold...he had sold another house on our lake so I knew the name. When I met Michelle she said “ I’s about marketing the house correctly not quickly “ and that she did. From having a professional stager, at their cost, go thru the house, and having a professional photographer taking the pictures all while we had no contract signed. They have a professional marketing team and even made a brochure to hand out at the open house. She explained that she would be present for anyone going into the house, no lock boxes for the Dow group! They are an exceptional group to work with. They truly do their job and care about what they do. It was as if Michelle was selling her own house, she was on top of ever step of the sale, we had a few offers and I felt she was working to get the most for me as a seller. Needless to say the house sold in 6 days from the listing date!! Need I say more?"

Dear Robin,                            March 2019
 
Thom and I wanted to drop you a quick note regarding our home in Moultonboro. You did a fantastic job staging the property. 
 
Our house was on the market with another Realtor for
180 days un-staged without a sale.
 
Once staged, eight days on the market, we received three offers on the house and accepted an offer!
 
It was well worth the investment going with your firm. 

Super job. 
 
Thank you for your help,
Karen & Thom Winslow

Un-staged more than 365 days on market. Staged less than 30 Days on market!

Robin and her crew at Great Impressions Staging helped sell our home in under 30 days!  After more than a year on the market with plenty of foot traffic but little real interest, It quickly became clear that there were a few undefined spaces where potential buyers were having trouble seeing a place for their furnishings, and seeing themselves in them.  We reached out to Robin for her expertise in staging our home. Robin focused her efforts in these areas, defining the spaces and creating a warm, inviting setting.  It really made the difference in finding our buyer.
 
Thanks

“It was a pleasure to work with Robin Webster and Great Impressions Staging. Her expertise and attractive presentation led to the early sale of my Mother’s home.

Home Sold For More Than Asking Price!

Letter of Recommendation
 
We were very pleased with Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging and would highly recommend her to anyone requiring staging for their home.
 
Robin was terrific in handling all aspects of preparing and updating our home for sale.  As we reside in Florida we needed someone who would handle the project including maintenance issues, furniture removal and decorating needs.  Robin handled all of this with very little requirements of our involvement.
 
The house looked wonderful and we questioned why we had not done the work years prior while we were still living in the house!
 
Our house had two offers for our asking price within days of listing and went under agreement for more than asking.
 
We were so happy with our decision to engage Robin!

My brother and I live out of state and had taken over the sale of our elder parent’s Estate on Lake Winnipesaukee in Wolfeboro, NH. It had been on the market for 338 days without a contract. We decided to get more aggressive with a new Realtor and Stage the home. Our new Realtor highly recommended Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging.
 
Our home was one of the Lakes Premier Properties but didn’t show well as the décor was out dated. I arranged a meeting with Robin. We viewed the estate together and received a proposal from her in short order. The proposal included the allowance for funding the changes needed in order to best market the estate. Immediately upon approval Great Impressions Staging started the work and transformed the estate into a showplace.
 
Then, the Realtor put the estate back on the market. Low and behold, we had an offer after one showing. The sale of the estate closed in 61 days. The investment in staging was well worth it! Sales Price $4.5 Million
 
As an added bonus Great Impressions Staging had the ability to remove all furnishings belonging to us in short order before the closing, which was a great convenience for our family.
 
I thank Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging for her professionalism, attention to detail and ultimately helping with the sale of our Family Lake Estate.
I would highly recommend her and her firm.

​To those who are considering Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging:
 
Take notice:
 
We used no one for staging. Results: three houses on the market for 2 years with no offers.
 
We hired Robin and didn't follow many of her suggestions, because she questioned our decorating taste and life-style. Result: no offers.
 
We spent about 1 percent of the sales price for all three houses and followed every one of Robin's recommendations:
 
Results: All three houses $9.875 Million SOLD!!!!!
 
Can I say more? Yes, but what more do you need to know?

​​Dear Robin,                                                           May 2016
 
When we decided to sell our second home, our Realtor recommended we give you a call. We found your manner very comfortable, relaxed and especially thoughtful as you re-arranged and packed many of our treasured things from the last 42 years.
 
From the start, you were aware of my limited mobility on the stairs and I appreciate your sensitivity on that issue.
 
We think the open and spacious feeling you created helped to show our house at its best!
 
The first couple that looked at it made an offer and we are under agreement! Thank you for everything!
 
We are hoping when it’s time to sell our Massachusetts home you will be available.
 
Hope and Bob Dauwalter

We own a property that was dated and empty, as a result we were not getting many showings or interest. Our Realtor suggested having it staged. Enter Robin Webster Great Impression Staging
Robin was very professional and helpful from the moment we met.
Per our agreement, the staging was not due to be complete for 2 weeks. Our Realtor had a potential buyer to show before the staging was complete, and we were very worried that another potential buyer would not see the full potential of the property. 
Robin told us that she would take care of it. She and her crew worked all weekend and completed the staging for the showing on Tuesday.
The house was breath taking as a result of the staging. My wife and I had second thoughts about selling!
Our property is under contract and we owe Robin a great big thank you!!!!
Sincerely,
Deb & Dave Marsh

My husband and I purchased a vacation/future retirement home near Lake Winnipesaukee in August and wanted to replace the floors and kitchen and remodel a bathroom before the following summer.
We live in the Pacific Northwest full-time. Not knowing local contractors, not being able to view and select available products and colors, and not being able to envision the space posed major obstacles to moving forward.
Enter Robin Webster!  We communicated by phone and email, first discussing my vision, goals, and budget.  She visited my new house a number of times and became my "eyes."  Then she researched flooring products, narrowed down the options and took numerous photographs,
which she sent to me via email. Once I had made my decisions, she brought the flooring professionals to the house to measure and cost out the options so I could make my final decisions.
She recommended a talented local kitchen designer who also visited the house and designed a new kitchen plan around my needs...
Fast forward to June...I am on vacation and love my house!  I so appreciate Robin's talent, great communication, referrals, and excellent work on our behalf.  I can't imagine having completed this project without her help. Thanks so much, Robin!

Recently, we had a house to sell as part of an estate. The house was in good condition and spotlessly clean, it was however, nearly empty of furniture. Although there were potential buyers who came through, they all had a hard time imagining how to properly use the rooms, as some were small. It was impossible for these buyers to visualize a well furnished home.

After reading an article about Robin Webster and Great Impressions Staging in the local newspaper, we decided to contact her for advice on how to enhance the house. It was the best decision we made in terms of the entire sale process. Her response was immediate and an appointment and walk through of the house was scheduled promptly. Robin quickly assessed the needs of the house to show it off properly. She acted immediately, provided an agreement and was able to have the house completely furnished within a few days. Each room was better than the next.  The furniture choices showed off each room and the bedrooms in particular became showcase areas.

A potential buyer who saw the house while it was being staged returned to see it completely staged twice more, bringing others to help whether it was the right one for them. It was under agreement within days of the staging. For them and for all the others who saw the house after Robin did her magic, there was no problem determining how the house could be furnished successfully. Each room was shown off at its brightest and best.

Right up to closing Robin and her team have been true professionals. They worked with us so we could de-stage the house in time for the closing but not too soon in the event the sale didn’t happen. The entire process has been smooth, professional and timely.

Robin has our highest accolades and we recommend her unreservedly to anyone who is trying to present their property with its best face to the buying public.

"Great Impressions Staging did a wonderful job of staging my lakeside cottage. The staging highlighted the charm and coziness of the home and allowed it to look its best leading up to a sale. During the process the buyers stated how the staging of a few strategically placed items had a great impact on there comfort with the property and was instrumental in there thoughts that this was the place for them. I believe the staging allowed the buyers to create a strong emotional connection to the house."

"In this tough real estate market, we were able to sell our home thanks to Robin’s beautiful staging. She not only made our small, three-bedroom ranch home look like it belonged in a magazine, she went above and beyond the call of duty, e.g. placing fresh flowers when she knew there would be a showing. I absolutely believe that having Great Impressions stage the house was key in getting it sold in this buyers’ market, and I would definitely recommend the service to others."

Letter or recommendation for Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging
May 1, 2013
To whom it may concern,
I purchased an outdated condominium in a waterfront community. As a busy professional that lives out of state, I needed help. My Realtor recommended Robin Webster as a trusted consultant and designer to assist me with my project.
At my first meeting with Robin she determined my needs, taste and budget.
From there she designed and presented a plan for new wall colors, flooring, lighting, kitchen cabinets, appliances, granite countertops, and two new baths.
Robin met with and communicated with the contractors on a regular basis to ensure progress went as planned.
I also consulted with her on furnishings for the condo once construction was complete. She has wonderful taste and made the project seamless.
I would highly recommend Robin to anyone needing design services.
Sincere regards,
Stephen Peirce

"It is without reservation that I recommend Robin Webster of Great Impressions Staging.   When staging the residence I recently placed on the market in Wolfeboro, Robin worked with impressive diligence, competence and efficiency. After receiving a practical and useful written Staging Consultation Report, it was clear that Robin knew her business well and provided valuable advice. I then decided to use Robin’s services to supervise the actual process of staging the house. As a result, the house was transformed from a cluttered, overcrowded mix of furnishings, styles and eclectic trimmings into a calm, cohesive, very attractive home. The ‘before and after’ photographs are most impressive and say more for Robin’s work than words. I would highly recommend Great Impressions Staging to anyone preparing a house for market."

"Dear Robin,   My compliments to you and your wonderful Staging of our former home of 24 years at Abenaukee Estates in Wolfeboro. Before we moved to our new residence, our Realtor provided a virtual photo tour of the house with our furnishings still in place to show the home as we enjoyed it. I designed the house to accommodate the many features of other residences we enjoyed in my assignments in New England and the Southern US where we were introduced to the “great room” and the open space it provided for comfortable living. When the movers packed up our accumulated treasures we saw the vacant house as it stood on that day in May, 1987 when we began our retirement. The empty house needed something to show prospective buyers the comfortable options afforded by the open “great room”. When the realtor suggested your services, we decided to utilize your skills to show the home at it’s best. Our first impression of the transformation was, “Wow, why didn’t we think of that”. The porch was now a more comfortable setting for entertaining or family gatherings. We particularly liked the rearrangement of the furniture focusing on the fireplace in the living room and with a formal dining table in the right place, instead of the kitchen. The addition of a center island in the kitchen made it feel up-dated. Upstairs the rearrangement of the bedrooms provided more space.  Again, “why didn’t we think of that”?   The compliments of visitors to the open house were appreciated and we feel that your staging has greatly enhanced the sales appeal of our home.  Ultimately, we are under agreement with an offer $10,000. more than before Staging.  Thanks to Great Impressions Staging!"

"When I decided to put my home on the market for sale, I knew I needed help. This home was our dream home and the place where my husband and I raised our kids. As many people know, over time we collect, mementoes, furniture, treasures and stuff. Robin from Great Impressions Staging, met with me and gave advise on what furniture and personal items needed to be packed away or rearranged in order to show my home at it’s best. She worked with me room by room. Robin was sensitive and respectful and she understood the attachment to our family home and belongings. Preparing to move is a process that requires organization and a plan. Robin helped me to focus on the priorities and ultimately get the house ready to show at it’s best!   Thank you Great Impressions Staging."

April 2014

When we decided to put our home on the market, I was overwhelmed about where to start to make the property ready to list.  I received Robin's contact information and was able to set up a consult within 1 week of our initial contact.  Robin was very professional and her vast knowledge of design and real estate is evident.  She walked me through every room in my home and gave recommendations on small changes that I could make that would make our home more appealing to the buyer.  Robin's suggestions were easy to do and she was able to provide me with suggestions on items that we could purchase to improve the home's appearance while still staying within our set budget.  Once the changes were implemented, I couldn't believe how neat and spacious our home looked.  I would highly recommend Robin's services when getting ready to list your home.  It was incredibly helpful and greatly decreased the stress involved when prepping our home to sell. 
Thanks again!
