What our clients have to say...

Hiring Valerie is the best investment I've made towards turning my house into the home I wanted…Valerie was able to pull everything together.
Lise Caron

First Impressions helped me renovate my home from top to bottom. The service was excellent. Valerie and her associates show an exceptional level of commitment and enthusiasm for their work. They possess very good design sense, yet seek buy–in from the client every step of the way. They are willing to take on multiple tasks, finding, juggling, and managing trades and maintaining focus on priorities and deadlines. Their commitment to client service and satisfaction is outstanding. I heartily recommend First Impressions for staging, design/decoration or renovation.

Mon mari et moi sommes militaire et devions vendre notre maison pour être relocalisés. Nous avions une maison que nous aimions énormément et dans laquelle nous avions investie beaucoup de temps et d’argent. Valerie a su nous faire voir notre maison avec l’œil de l’acheteur et a relevé les points qui devraient être corrigés pour que nous puissions vendre vite et surtout obtenir le maximum pour nos investissements. Nous avons vendu en trois jours. Merci Valérie.

You can't argue with success! Our friends, who were initially skeptical, were suddenly converted when they saw the transformation of the house. When the house sold after only two days on the market the circle was complete. It proves that Valerie knows 'the buyers' and can anticipate their desires.

It constantly amazes me how many hats you wear and juggle with such ease. I love your ideas for the houses (the old one and now my new one). I truly believe that your presence was the glue that kept everything and everyone together. You have changed my home and life from chaos to beauty, calmness and peace. I can't thank you enough

I found Valerie to be on top of the job at all times; full of good and innovative ideas and workable suggestions on several budget levels. She is attentive to details and achieves excellent results. A joy to work with.

Valerie is excellent in every aspect of her work. She sustained a highly professional commitment to me as a client while we worked together on my home. She paid attention to my taste and showed great creativity and generosity with her time.
Claire Pepin

Every single room looked amazing. I would recommend this service to anyone. But not just for selling – after all, why wait until you are leaving when you could have this type of environment for living in yourself!
Bev Blaney

The results were incredible! While I was out of town Valerie took care of everything. In days I had an offer for more than the asking price.
Matthew Mendelson

Many people will offer advice about selling your home; Valerie's is worth listening to. We had her prepare our home for sale and received a full–price offer as soon as the house hit the market!
Dr. Cherie Jones–Hiscock & Stephen Hiscock

We were incredibly impressed with the services provided by First Impressions. We were constantly surprised how the suggestions and advice, although often things that we had never thought to do, made major improvements in the appearance of our home. With Valerie's help we had two offers in one day!
Dave Anglin & Paula Shamaida

Mike and I really enjoyed our time with you. I now feel much more confident with the direction I am heading . You have a wonderful approach and it was so evident that you truly enjoy your work. I look forward to our next meeting. (Design ideas for their new home).

Valerie definitely makes a home more saleable. She quickly creates fabulous results. I highly recommend her.
Kim Treleaven & Lori Chenier, Royal LePage

Valerie Cummings and her team of professionals worked quickly and efficiently. Her eye for detail transformed the house into a showcase home, which resulted in multiple offers and a sale above the asking price. Most importantly the client was extremely happy with the results!
Katharine McClelland, Royal LePage Sales Representative

I just wanted to thank you so much for today. I had so much fun and felt a real sense of satisfaction when you left. My husband was very pleased, and couldn't believe the difference that re-arranging our furniture made.
Darlene Kelly

Your visions have opened another world. This is wonderful. Thank you also for the inspirational photos, and places to find items. This is an entirely uncharted territory for me.
Aida Sulcs

Thank you for your help with our renovations. Your design ideas and your attention to detail were key to the success of our renovation. Your sense of style was right in line with mine, and you chose colours and combinations that were beautifully suited to each other.
