"It is usually the housing decor situation most difficult to conquer, when I hire Darla. She gets the mission done! Her eye to detail is yet practicality and that allows her services to reach high standards of quality. Her pleasant nature manages to be direct and to the point, there are no hidden costs or ulterior motives. Authentic in every aspect of what she does!"

		"Darla worked with my client to achieve a presentation of their home to make it more marketable in today’s real estate economy. She did a fantastic job of turning an "ugly duckling" into a beautiful "swan"! That being said she coordinated all the contractors from start to finish and completed the job on time and within a reasonable price. I have referred her throughout my office as a "go to" professional stager."

		"The nucleus of my radio show is good content through local experts. With the down turn in the real estate market in Metro Detroit many of my listeners where eager to find ways to differentiate their homes that where for sale in a down market. I met with Darla Rowley to talk about home staging. Boy was i impressed! Her knowledge of home staging is unrivaled. She kept her finger on the pulse of what was going on in the local real estate market. When she came on my radio show as a guest in early 2007 the phone lines literally exploded! it was one of my better shows. If your home is on the market you shouldn’t be selling it without Darla looking at it first!!!"

		"Darla has a terrific understanding for what it takes to make a home inviting and "sale-able." She is creative, professional and hard working. Her assistance was instrumental to selling our house in the most challenging market in the country."
		Chris Hoebermann
		"With the housing market what it is in Michigan right now, home owners looking to sell quickly and at the best cost possible should call Darla and hire her immediately! Darla staged our home for a quick sell, and her work is nothing short of miraculous. I can't say enough how blown away I am by the transformation Darla and her team made on our 1950s bungalow. She took a house that needed lots of updating and had been "much loved" by three small children, and turned it into a showpiece. All the feedback we're getting from potential buyers is that they love the decor! We've had our house on the market for almost two months and are getting tons of showings and are making several potential buyers' short lists. Without Darla, I'm sure we wouldn't have had the showings we've had so far. She creates the "WOW!" factor that sellers need to have in this tough housing market for very little investment."

		“Darla, Thank god there are people like you that are fixers instead of throw away. Your nurturing ways with everything you touch is your painting that will live on forever with your signature attack. Thank you for all your help and wonderful ideas in beautifying your home and the world in which we all live.”

		Darla the house really sold! I deposited the check and it’s good. (Wouldn’t THAT be awful?) Thank you so very much for the work you and your crews did to make the house look great. I’m convinced that your efforts were a major factor in moving the house so quickly in a very turbulent economy. While I didn’t get my asking price, I came within 10% of the independent appraisal done in 2004 – that’s more than OK with me. As I get more organized, I’ll let you know if I need some moving help. Meantime, I’m passing your name along to anyone I can, and I hope you get some good clients out of it!

		"Darla has a genuine passion for her work, and this passion shows through in the beautiful results she creates. She has a keen eye for color, and an exceptional sense of style. Not only are her artistic abilities excellent, but I also admired her business and marketing acumen. It is rare to find both of these talents embodied in one person!"

		"Darla has done a fantastic job in staging homes for me. The last home that Darla staged for me was in Troy. That home sold in 23 days....Yes, 23 days in this market! I attribute much of that success and the quick sale to Darla.

		"IMPACT! did a great job turning my "bachelor pad" in Rochester Hills into a home that any family could appreciate. Starting with the exterior, my landscape was beautifully redone with flowers, shrubs, and trees in both the front and back yards. The interior appearance was improved by re-arranging existing furniture, bringing in accent furniture/pictures/lighting, and adding a personal touch. Each room was changed into a warm, inviting atmosphere. Thank you IMPACT! for your creativity and style and helping to sell my home quickly (less than 6 weeks) in a down market. Sincerely,

		Impact IDS gave us first class, prompt, personalized service when we were readying our home for sale. The attention to detail paid off in spades; we sold the home in just six days in an extremely competitive market. Darla Rowley and her crew worked cooperatively with the contractor/painter who was updating the 1950's home, suggesting subtle, impressive color schemes and finishing touches that set our house apart from the many others listed in our price range. We believe Impact IDS gave us the edge we needed to make a quick and profitable sale. Barbara Zmich Celeste McClellan

		"I had our house on the market for nine months with out a single offer. It looked like nothing would ever happen until our new Real Estate Agent introduced us to Darla. She worked closely with our agent, did her magic, and we sold our house at the asking price within 2 weeks! Simply amazing!"

		“It was refreshing to find a decorator who listened to my thoughts and concerns and stayed within my budget to update my home with a new look. I especially liked how you were able to coordinate my existing favorite furniture and décor items with the newly purchased items. Very impressive! I would definitely recommend your services to anyone looking to sell a house, decorate a new house, or re-decorate an existing space! It was also nice to get to know you during this process. Thanks again for all of your extra efforts!"

		“I loved the way the house turned out! My friends and neighbors were impressed with the color selections, so much so they have asked for the names. What appeared to be tiny details, made a significant impact! Your ideas really worked to make my house feel special. As you know, the work was done so I could put it on the market. Now that you have you have made the improvements, I no longer want to sell my home. I still will, but now I can enjoy it for a while first. I always thought I had a nice house, but now everyone else does too! Thank you so much!"

		“When I found out I has to sell my home quickly, in such a competitive market, I was very overwhelmed! Similar homes in my neighborhood have been on the market for over 9 months. Your staging techniques helped me focus on areas where I could get the most impact. You saved me lots of time, and money! Your assistance and encouragement to use color really paid off. The colors you choose were warm and inviting, I wish I would have done it sooner! You really made the experience smooth, and I have no doubt you were the reason my home sold in 6 days! Thanks again for making my moving experience much easier!
