We support Real Estate Agents and Brokers in the Kitchener - Waterloo and Guelph Regions who want to elevate both the seller and buyer experience through the power of presentation.

Each project is approached from both an interior design and marketing perspective. This allows us to tailor each property based on the architecture and style of the home, and curate intentional and thoughtful design while carefully considering the target demographic. By doing so, we broaden your buying pool and expand your reach.

In an increasingly competitive and ever-changing market securing listings can prove challenging. Partnering with DOMUS ensures your seller feels fully supported and understands the power of presentation through home staging ensuring your listing will draw the desired audience and financial outcome.

how we work

WHY

Quoting statistics can be questionable in real estate staging, we have seen unprecedented highs and lows in the market but one stat remains the same. Only 10% of buyers can envision what a space could look like and how their life will function within that space.

HOW

The DOMUS experience begins with a thorough evaluation of the property where we consult with your seller in their home. Together, we evaluate each space and discuss what edits need to be completed and why to ensure your listing attracts the largest audience.

PARTNERSHIPS

We consider ourselves a boutique brand partnering with exceptional REALTORS® who are forward-thinking, strategic, and want to elevate their seller and buyer experience. You're not transactional nor cookie cutter - neither are we.

marketing without design is lifeless,

& design without marketing is mute.

nice notes

Natascha | Seller

My family and I were very pleased with the staging done to our home. Nicole, the designer, was able to show off our house's assets and minimize some deficiencies, like older style flooring. When we needed a quick refresh during the sale period, Nicole was very responsive and checked in regularly to ensure needs were met. I recommend Nicole and her services to get the best result when selling your home.

my story

Hi, I’m Nicole – a loyal friend, amazing wife (just ask my husband), Mom of one that is doing my best on the daily and a REAL ESTATE HOME STAGING CONSULTANT & STYLIST.

My professional background is in corporate sales and marketing. I loved the hustle; fast pace, strategic thinking, relationship building, device dinging non-stop life. I met some amazing colleagues, brilliant entrepreneurs and still have the same mentors today.

Fast forward 15yrs - corporate out, Mom in. I did all the mom things for a few years; it was fun but not entirely fulfilling. I needed to feed my soul.

I have always been a creative thinker. I have fully renovated and designed my own homes, created award winning ad campaigns, I even worked in visual merchandising creating home and lifestyle vignettes. When it came time to get back to work the decision was easy, I wanted to be part of the design community. I pursued my studies in decorating and design. I had the pleasure of working alongside an incredible designer who gave me autonomy to use and implement my ideas while challenging me to expand my thinking.

Having to hit pause during the pandemic like so many, as terrible as this time was, it gave me time to reflect and empowered me even further to get back to living once the classroom had re-opened. Although I love all aspects of interior design the installation is the reward for me. I can’t express the gratification I experience when I stand back and take it all in.

In comes Staging and my pursuit to happiness. I furthered my education, joined a long-standing staging firm in the region and hit the ground running - I haven’t looked back.

I can honestly say that all my experience has collided and without my career path, life, and education experience I don’t think I would be a success at this. Sales and relationship management elevates my consultative approach. Marketing allows me to better understand buying behaviour. Education ensures I understand the ‘why & how’. Interior design keeps me present and on trend however encourages me to always nod to the past. Parenting has taught me patience and empathy. Finally, PASSION, it fuels my soul and reflects in all that I do in this endeavour I love so much.

Not a day goes by that I don’t know how lucky I am.

Thank you for taking the time to be here.
