Staged N Sold

Meet the Team

Jody Latimer, Professional Property Stager Serving Georgian Triangle and Surrounding Jody was born and raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. Upon high school graduation, she went on to fulfill her childhood dream and graduated from Interior Design Technology in Alberta. Jody's work career has taken her to various Canadian cities where she developed an understanding of Canadian Real Estate trends, while also exploring home designs and decorating by viewing and assessing model homes across the country. As a spouse of a pilot, she continued to have an opportunity to live in several Canadian cities; her husband even took her on the adventure of a life-time as they moved to Honolulu, Hawaii, for four wonderful years. They decided to move back to Canada, at which time they found the Nation's Best Kept Secret, and settled in Wasaga Beach, which she and her husband consider “Canada's Hawaii”.

While she made the choice to stay home and raise their three children, she continually developed her knowledge of the real estate market by buying and selling several homes. When marketing their last home, Jody didn't realize when she was preparing her home for sale, that there was a term used called “staging”, she just thought she would do whatever it took to make her home “show well” in order to sell for top dollar. As a result, their home sold to the first couple that viewed the house, and for above asking price. Her real estate agent's remark that “she had a real knack for this” made a lasting impression in Jody's mind.

Jody decided to pursue her passion in this area and researched many staging courses before enrolling in the Haverhill Institute of Staging and Design, where she received accreditation as a Stager and Redesigner. To complement her training from the Haverhill Institute, she then completed her Certified Staging Professional program, allowing her to add the designation of Certified Staging Professional (CCSP). Also, to further benefit her clients, Jody enrolled in QC school of design and received her credentials as a Professional Colour Consultant (PCC).

Jody's passion, creativity, and life experiences, coupled with her formal education in decorating and staging training, will help make your home stand out above the competition. Jody's goal is to showcase the property by making it look more inviting, spacious, fresher, and best of all, convince prospective buyers to take the all important step of making the offer, one that highlights the true value of your home.
