I'll never forget seeing my dear friend, now client, sitting on the floor of her childhood home beside a mountain of paperwork and a shredder, wearing four rolls of coloured painter's tape on her arm like bracelets, labelling: SAVE, DONATE, STORAGE, SELL. It was a scene of both deep love and deep labour.

61 Rumsey Road - Kitchen / Family Room In Moving Process

For anyone who has ever helped a parent transition from the familiarity of the beloved family home to a place of greater safety and care, you’ll understand. What gets left behind is more than a lifetime of memories...it's a lot of stuff.  

As realtors, we pride ourselves on helping our clients prepare to maximize value by making a house look its best. We work with trades who paint, remove wallpaper, rip out carpet, replace light fixtures, landscape, and transform a house within weeks before we stage and sell the home.

61 Rumsey Road -Kitchen Family Room Ready for New Beginning

But before any of that can happen, someone has to do the quiet, hard work. Someone has to open every box, sort every drawer, and decide what stays and what goes. There are moments of laughter and "Ah-ha, that's where that went," but mostly, it's exhausting. It takes extraordinary emotional strength, grace, and grit.

Living Room Full of Organized Boxes and Living Room Staged.  Note that the gorgeous antique bar with a Copper Lined Cocktail Bin is in the auction for under $100.00! BID NOW !!!

When all the dust settled, Doorey Chu Team staged and proudly SOLD 61 Rumsey Road in 4 days over asking.  

Thank you, dear friend and your family, for trusting us to sell the home you grew up in. It was an honour to walk beside you.
