Dana J. Smithers Founder & Creative Director of Sun On My Back Redesigns & PRES Staging Resource Centre will be giving 'Free' talks at the following locations.

Learn some of her Top Tips for quick, easy and cost effective home makeovers for Living or Selling! For Selling to start you off, try this mantra: My Home is for Living in, my House is for Selling. You have to start 'detaching' from the emotions that you feel about your home, and treat the selling of your house like a business. For many it is their retirement fund!
