• “If you're looking to score on the real estate market, your best investment may not be a house or condo, but an hour with Debra Gould. Through her company, Six Elements Inc., she dispenses design advice to people who want their property to sell faster and for more money. The results can be stunning. One week after implementing Gould's suggestions, a couple sold their house for $12,000 over asking... With reports like these spreading through the real estate industry, it's no surprise that a growing number of home sellers are hiring Gould.”

• “When I called Debra Gould, my rental property had been vacant for 3 months, even though lots of people had come to see it. That\'s almost $3000 in lost income!
  
  Debra spent 2 hours with me and provided very specific home staging instructions that I could do on my own. I was able to complete all the work over the next two days at minimal cost.
  
  Within the week, I had a new tenant. What a relief— I only wish I had called Debra three months sooner and not lost all that rental income! Now I\'d like her to tackle redesigning my home office.”

• “Debra went through every room of our Toronto house helping us understand how they would appear to potential buyers and what was needed to make it more appealing.
  Following her instructions, we emptied out 3000 pounds of stuff, moved furniture and repainted. It looks amazing— bigger and much more sophisticated!
  
  Now that our home is sold, I have marveled at how liberating it was to clean out the house of all that extra clutter and freshen everything up.
  
  I think everyone should pretend they are selling their house, get an expert like Debra in and experience the transformation that is possible!
  
  Debra, you were great and I highly recommend you for not only your home staging talent, but your professionalism as well!”
  -- Anne Stone, Founder, Women In a Home Office, Calgary
