Testimonials
Shift by Design pride ourselves on our ability to assist our clients realise the potential in their property when they go to sell. The chances of selling a home in Tasmania can be dramatically improved through the process of property presentation and can often increase the chances of seller faster and for a better price.
But why take our word for it when you can hear from people who have used the service and benefited from having their own home staged, presented or renovation project managed to maximise the homes appeal to either buyers or for the owner to live in?
"After completing an extensive home renovation project, we were surprised when the house was still on the market two months after listing - lots of interest, but no offers.
After taking advantage of Shift by Design's staging services, we had a successful offer within two weeks. It's now clear to us the dramatic difference professional staging makes. The cost is more than covered by the improved buyer reaction and reduced time on the market.
We won't consider doing our next project without it!" - Ian and Tracey, Hobart
"Thank you, for the wonderful transformation you made to our property. The flat had been on the market for quite a while with no interest. It was clean, but not inviting; after inspecting it ourselves we decided that it need to be stylized. Your company Shift by Design made a Cinderella transformation. You took a basic plain jane flat and made into an appealing apartment which anyone would like to own. This transformation more importantly produced interest that was not there before, and we had a successful offer within 2 weeks. Also we had many positive comments on the transformation, even the agent could not believe that it was the same flat. Once again we thank you and recommend Shift by Design to anyone who wants to sell they property no matter how big or how small, it does make a difference." - Gerard & Gerardine, Victoria
"WOW!! You have done a superb job – it looks so fantastic that I want to move back down there! Really like the quality of the work – selection of furnishings, art work and photography are excellent." - Camille, Sydney
"Once again, thank you for your help in getting my house on the market. Your clever artistic skills certainly made an incredible difference and has, I feel, enhanced the property's marketability. Your professionalism and honesty is a "breath of fresh air". It was a delight to work with you." - Mary-Jane, Sandy Bay
"Adam Luttrell, from Shift By Design, came highly recommended to me by Robbie Yeoland, the Property Manager. I am from Sydney and was unable to meet Adam face to face, but took a leap of faith and am enormously pleased I did.
The property came up looking better than it ever had, and exchanged contracts within 4 days of first appearing online. A substantially higher sale price was realised than had previously been hoped for, and the speed of the sale greatly reduced stress and ongoing costs. Adam has a real knack for colour, combine this with his eye for furniture and fittings, and he creates an atmosphere that is far more appealing to buyers. He may not want to hear that he is fastidious, but he is. His attention to detail is consistent and precise, and this applies as much to his customer service skills as it does to the work at hand. I do not hesitate in recommending Shift By Design. I am confident you will find a level of professionalism that is often lacking in business today. Feel free to contact me directly if you would like me to confirm the above." - Bryce, Sydney (bryce@responsibility.com.au)
"Shift by Design provided a comprehensive service starting with an initial consultation followed up by a detailed report. The report formed the basis for presenting our home in the best possible light to prospective purchasers. The home sold within the first week. The speed and price we attained can be partly attributed to Shift by Design." - Robert,
Dynnyrne
"Shift Design were professional, honest and kept to all that was promised. It was a true breath of fresh air. Well done guys I would use you time and time again." - David, Sydney
"John and I would like to sincerely thank you for the fantastic professional service you provided. After initially putting our house on the market we were very disappointed with the lack of enthusiasm buyers had for our fabulous Sandy Bay home. We took it off the market after a draining two months of open homes and inspections with no offers in sight. Once we called in Shift by Design we felt that we could regain control for presenting our property in a way that would appeal to buyers. After spending a few weeks implementing your suggestions and spending less than .005% of the eventual sale price on the presentation we re-launched our house onto the market and within one week had a great offer which we accepted. We will definitely be calling you again once we purchase our new home so that you can help us present our new property in an amazing way, but this time we will be reaping the rewards of living in the beautiful home you help us create. We wish you all the best for the success of your business and look forward to working with you on our next project ." – John and Kerry, Sandy Bay
"Having recently listed my property in Montagu Bay it was my good fortune to employ Shift by Design to customise the house for sale. Their expertise bought a great result on auction day. Shift by Design are now assisting with the presentation of my new property in Rose Bay. I would recommend buyers and sellers to employ Shift by Design to maximise their property." – John, Rose Bay
“The friendly and honest advice that I have received from Adam at Shift by Design has been invaluable. The report suggested what could be done (at a minimal cost) to improve the entire look of our unit. Many of the suggested improvements were able to be done over a weekend and having the report to refer back to was a great help. I would definitely recommend the services offered by Shift by Design to anyone wishing to improve the appearance of their home, without having to spend a fortune.” – Allison, Sandy Bay
"Shift by Design offered us creative ways to spruce up our house to prepare it for sale. The ideas presented were simple, cost effective and meant most of them could be done by ourselves saving us money. We would recommend Shift for anyone looking to get the most from their house when selling." – Rebecca and Oliver, Mornington
"A new company known as SHIFT BY DESIGN has started up (initially just in Hobart) to provide an independent written report on how a vendor can increase the value of their home in preparation for sale - from a 'consumer's viewpoint'. It is often hard for vendors and agents to be totally objective and impartial about what could be done internally and externally to improve the buyer's all important 'first impressions'. Adam Luttrell has been in contact with many REIT members in the Hobart area and many are keen to utilise his services. He has bought and sold (and renovated) a number of homes and has completed courses from Canada and the U.K from specialists in this all important field. There is a flat fee based on how many bedrooms are in a given property, which is payable directly by the vendor, and many agents are expected to refer vendors to him."– Real Estate Institute of Tasmania newsletter (January 2007)
