We recently connected with April Timmermans and have shared our conversation below.
April, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. What’s been one of the most interesting investments you’ve made – and did you win or lose? (Note, these responses are only intended as entertainment and shouldn’t be construed as investment advice)
The best investment I have ever made is purchasing a Home Staging Business. As a small business owner, each day is different. I meet new faces and have new and unique challenges that I wouldn’t trade for the world.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
My name is April Timmermans, the proud new owner of Louise’s Home Staging Inc.
A little back story on me. I was born and raised in the village of Mount Brydges Ontario where I currently still reside today. Growing up I was always changing my room around and have always had an eye for design and interior decorating. After high school I decided to enroll in the Interior Decorating program at Fanshawe College.
I was interested in Home Staging as a career so for my co-op placement I applied to Louise’s Home Staging Inc. and she hired me onto her team. I realized during my co-op that my true passion is in this industry. After graduation Louise then hired me on full time, we grew a trusting friendship and she had confidence in me to offer the purchase of her company.
I love walking into a home, seeing it’s potential and giving my clients suggestions on how to make their home ready for sale, ultimately giving them a higher rate of return on the sale. I have two large warehouses full of art, accessories, furniture, linens, lamps and more! I think what sets my company aside from the others is that we have a variety of styles for any type of home, whether it be modern, traditional, mid-century modern etc.
Where do you think you get most of your clients from?
Most new clients find us either through our Instagram page, website and referrals.
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
The company was established by the previous owner Louise in 2005 and has built a solid reputation over the years. I’ve maintained this reputation for quality and customer care by keeping the same professional and compassionate approach that Louise gave to all of her clients.
