Beyond The Stage Homes Celebrates 15 years Serving Waterloo Region!

A message from our CEO:

As the founder and CEO of Beyond The Stage Homes (a division of Style Corporation), I am thrilled to be celebrating our 15-year anniversary. It's hard to believe that it's been 15 years since we started this journey, and I am so grateful to everyone who has been a part of it.

Did you know that BTSH almost closed its doors after only 2 years? I won't bore you with the details, but launching a new business, especially one in an industry that most people have never heard of (2008 be like "what's home staging?"). Through sheer grit and determination, I saw the potential of this business, and the home staging industry, and inched my way to success, studying the needs of the community, and adding the services, and the people, to support these needs. We expanded our offerings to include design services, launched a sister company for home stager certification and continuing education, and I went on to establish a successful business coaching venture and co-authored a book. These achievements are certainly not mine alone though, and none of this would have been possible without the support of so many individuals that believed in our vision and fought alongside me to achieve what we have.

First and foremost, I want to thank my amazing team. We've seen some changes over the years, but we wouldn't be here if not for each and every one of you that is presently on the team, and those that have gone on to pursue other opportunities. Your dedication, hard work, and creativity have helped to make Beyond The Stage Homes the success it is today, and I am so grateful for you all.
