Meet Patricia Donaldson, Creative Director and Company President of Upstaged By Design, providing Home Staging and Redesign Services to the Real Estate, Residential and Business markets. If you are in the service market, then you know image sells and her company motto “You never get a second chance to make a winning first impression” takes on real meaning. Patricia is a FULL SERVICE HOME STAGER, REDESINER and TRANSITIONAL COORDINATOR.   WHO BENEFITS FROM HOMESTAGING, ORGANIZING and/or REDESIGN? Patricia assists Real Estate agents and their clients to sell homes faster and usually at a higher price. She helps homeowners that are ready for change but not necessarily ready to move, declutter and beautify their living space and she helps people with downsizing issues as well. She is thrilled when her clients express amazement over the difference it makes and how easy it was with her expertise. SOME HISTORY: She credits her many years experience while managing a hardware store, where she exercised her creative flair in the Paint and Wall Treatment Design and Decor Centre. She quickly built a reputation for her keen eye and sense of style that helped many customer’s and their families transform their homes into their dream space. Friends and family also sought her out to ask for guidance and advice. Down the road, when she opened her Swimming Pool and Spa Showroom, she naturally designed a spectacular display floor for the perfect consumer experience. Her showroom layout was featured on training videos to demonstrate to new retailers how to make the best of their space and turn it into a positive retail environment. Eventually she found that she wanted to make this passion her full time work. She sought out and trained with one of the industry’s most successful trainers in this field. As a full time professional now she looks forward to helping her clients to realize the true potential of their home’s value. Whether for personal style and comfort or to sell. OTHER RESOURCES: She has built a great working relationship with many tradespeople in the industry and that enables her to refer trustworthy contractors for every aspect of the project at hand. She also has a line on some great shopping venues and reputable rental sources for “:just the perfect something” to liven a room or to use when staging a vacant home.
