Testimonials

This is the second property we have had staged by Roz and her team. Yet again we have had a successful campaign and received a brilliant result. Roz's vision and styling skills make the house into a home. Creating an ambiance which gives the buyers the chance to envision themselves in the spaces and translates beautifully through the photos. I believe this is why we had record numbers for the open home’s, returning buyers time again. We received 7 offers and accepted a fantastic offer.

We even had people coming to view the property to get styling tips!

Roz and I met and the property, she gave great advice on what work was needed to get the property ready for sale. She was aware and respected the budget we had. Having used Roz previously I was more than happy for her to run with her design vision. We went for Contemporary design with hints of mid century modern. This complemented the house and definitely allowed the property to shine.

Roz works with a layering system, firstly the larger items Furniture, rugs and large plants. This defines the spaces and directs the buyer through the space which enables her to highlight the positives and downplay any negatives in the space. Next comes the soft furnishings, art, lamps etc. Lastly she adds the finishing touches from her elaborate range that she has clearly collected for many years. Candles, small plants, flowers, herbs, books, mags, ornaments, sculptures and so much more.

She is so very clever… she really does wave a magic wand.

Our estate agent was very happy to hear Tickadeeboo was staging our property. Makes his job that little bit easier when buyers are in love with the story being told with magic of staging.

At the end of the day “ Attention to detail = money in the bank”. I highly recommend Roz and her team, trust her and allow her to work her magic.

“Roz has staged four of our properties for the purpose of selling.

Each property was staged on time.  Wonderful artwork and elegant furnishings were always delivered and Roz’s attention to detail was impressive.
Fresh flowers and fruit in a bowl for the photography and first open home added that extra touch that we have come to know is Roz.
Roz always offered extremely helpful advice for improvements to the property. Colours and lighting, garden planting and Roz even collected plants and potted them up for us.


This attention to detail we so appreciated being absentee owners.
Each time the houses were presented for sale, they looked amazing. And we are in no doubt that the excellent sale prices we achieved were in part down to Roz.
Roz’s honesty, enthusiasm and integrity are beyond reproach.
We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Tickadeeboo as a brilliant home stager and we are delighted to attend to her character.”

Roz and her team exceeded our expectations. The quality of furnishing and decor were really impressive. Originally I was dubious about getting a home staging company , I had seen some pretty basic examples online from other companies so wasn't keen, Roz came extremely highly recommended.

She came and visited our home, sent us visuals of furnishings she recommended , right down to the whiskey in the carafe, fresh flowers, fresh basil plants in the kitchen! Wow! Roz and her team have an absolute passion for what they do. So very pleased we have used her, worth every cent.

Roz and her team at Tickadeeboo provided us with an outstanding home staging service.

Tickadeeboo supplied exceptional quality furnishings and artworks  combined in an eclectic way that took our home to a high level of interior design.  I have no doubt that Roz’s design skills led to the high value sale price achieved after only two weeks on the market.

I enjoyed working with the practical and highly skilful Roz and her team and am delighted to recommend Tickadeeboo to you.

I have worked with Roz and her wonderful team on many occasions through my work creating videos and photography for the realestate industry - It’s always a pleasure to film in the homes they have staged - they create spaces and moods that are captivating, creative and not only film well, but they leave a lasting impression on the viewer - They have all the latest trending props and incredible attention to detail - from children’s rooms to kitchens and spaces you don’t know what to do with - this team will turn an empty shell into a stylish lovely home. They are excellent to deal with and add so much - there staging makes it easier for me because they define a look and feel that I can work with. I highly recommend working with Tickadeeboo Inside Design - with the extra $ it returns - It will pay for itself.

Richard - Petone, Wellington

 

I had a house in Petone. Lots of Potential, very sound, but had not been redecorated apart from bathrooms since the 80s. A stylistic Lead balloon.

I considered the options: redecorate minimally, or go the whole hog. Either way, I needed help, I am not an artist. I looked at the market for decorating knowledge, market success and home staging prowess. There were several good people, but Roz Scott stood out, mainly because she is quite loud and out-spoken, a go-getter. If there is one thing you want when you are selling, is a go getter.

So although Roz was more expensive than the others, she also came with excellent recommendations from previous clients. I now know why.


I sat down with Roz and first of all planned the entire house, from carpet, vinyl, paint, colours, lighting, window coverings, complete kitchen, flow, market, strategy and timing.

I hadn't originally planned to go so far, but we worked out that it would pay off. Roz introduced me to some excellent trades people, and we formed a great team. We took the house apart and put it back together over just under three months. New kitchen (same appliances), dark grey carpet and polished floors, stunning vinyl, blinds throughout, complete repaint internally, amazing lights. Roz had great contacts for purchasing and we saved thousands of dollars off retail.

I trusted Roz to make good decisions, and she did, when deciding decor. I did as much work as I could myself, and we finished the project bang on time.


Did it work? Well... The house sold for almost 1/4 million more than the highest previous price in the street. The agents were gob-smacked. All the cost was repaid by more than triple profit over the original purchase price.

Roz spent weeks helping with fine details, choosing perfect fittings, advising details and motivating. During the staging part, she ensured that the place looked absolutely stunning, including flowers and amazing personal touches that made the house look lived in.

Would I recommend Roz? I'm relaxing on the deck with a wine and a pile of money, of course I would.

If you want to sit back and be taken by the market, go with the others. If you want to make it happen and get best value, talk to Roz.

Cheers and good luck!

Amanda & Ben Stevens - Wellington

We have been working closely with Roz for the past couple of years, and WOW what an offering! Roz does not just stage a home, she creates a scene, promotes the lifestyle and sells the dream. Roz has exquisite taste and amazing creative flare which is very evident in the end product.

To have someone like Roz available to present our properties in the best possible light is a huge advantage to both us and our vendors. Roz has taken home staging in Wellington to the next level and for that we are very grateful.

Jenny & Frank - Newtown, Wellington

 

On advice from our Estate agent we engaged Tickadeeboo Insideout Design Ltd to furnish our small cottage for the purpose of sale. Roz Scott came and viewed the property and knew exactly what furnishings were required to make the cottage look and feel stylish and inviting.

We were thrilled with how the property was furnished and, were delighted with the sale of the property in a two week campaign,that we know was certainly achieved with the staging of our cottage. We found Roz Scott to be extremely professional and most helpful to deal with. Any future properties that we are to sell, we will be using Roz and Tickadeeboo without hesitation.

Thank you for your help Roz

TINA DOME -  Northland, Wellington

Roz has a fantastic eye, every detail in the house right down to the toilet was spot on.  She provided fresh flowers and herbs for the photos and first open home which demonstrated to me the benefit of her real estate background.

Tickadeeboo Insideout Design met our challenging deadline with amazing efficiency - quoting on a Thursday with installation on a Monday.  Their communication throughout the time we had the house staged was top notch and nothing was too much trouble.  I have no doubt the home staging by Tickadeeboo helped us achieve a fantastic sale price and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Roz and her team again

ALISTER & SARAH -  Sydney, Australia

 

We engaged Roz through her staging business Tick A Dee Boo to present our house for sale. The staging of the house looked fantastic with the photos really showing the properties best features. Our expectations about how to best present the property for sale in order to maximise it's sale value were met.

We also appointed Roz as our real estate agent. We had recently relocated to Australia and Roz was fantastic at organising everything. We placed ourselves in her hands - she helped out in many little ways making selling our property easier for us. Roz clearly communicated and executed the marketing plan which together with the staging generated a lot of interest in the property.

We are very happy with the end result. Thanks Roz.

GREG COBB & SUZANNE HOARE -  Berhampore, Wellington.

 

I recently sold my house in a very sluggish market & Roz's professional assistance made it all the more pleasant. Roz came into our home, assessed our needs and took on board what we wanted as well as advising us in the right direction, the result being a very stylish family home with great flow. Roz's eye for detail is remarkable, she really manages to get a sense of your style & flair, I can’t wait to get her into my new home for her advice again! Thank you Roz!!

PAULA BOOCK & ROBYN PATERSON -  Houghton Bay and Newtown, Wellington

Roz has sold two homes for us and we have always found her ethical, positive and totally committed to getting the best deal for us.

She is very strong on presentation and gave us excellent advice (and hands-on help!) in preparing our houses for sale. We were most impressed by Roz’s communication skills. She doesn’t over-promise, she always takes calls, always gets back to you, always remembers details and listens to what her clients want. Because of this, we have felt well-informed throughout the process, and prepared for the decisions that will come. At sale time Roz excels at negotiating in good humour, while getting the last dollar out of prospective buyers.

For all these reasons, we have trusted her with the sale of two homes, and are happy with the results. We have recommended her to family and friends and have no hesitation in recommending her to others.

IAN WEDDE & DONNA MALANE

Roz was clearly committed to selling our house as soon as we signed with her. She threw herself into the pre-sale preparation, going well beyond anything we had expected. She was generous with her advice and her time, communicated with us on all matters and the result of a sale on the second day on the market was fantastic. You couldn't ask more of an sales agent and we would highly recommend Roz to anyone thinking of selling their house.

RICK BROWN -  Brooklyn, Wellington

 

My property was in Brooklyn and I had owned it for eight years I brought the house from Roz and when it was time to sell I knew who I wanted to sell it. Roz explained everything I needed to do and what she was going to do to make sure I got the best prices and a successful sale. Roz helped me get my house looking it’s best and within days I was on the market! Roz was fantastic at keeping me informed and gave me really good feedback from the buyers. She even mowed my lawn before an Open Home as I was away.

I really believe I have had the very best experience of having my home look fantastic and  the sale of my home. Please do not hesitate using Roz Scott to make your home look amazing.

JANE PARK -  Wellington

 

I asked Roz at Tick-A-Dee-Boo to stage a 137sqm apartment in Willis St on a Wednesday. I needed it urgently completed for photographs on that Friday. Roz presented me with a proposal and quote the same day and had the clients go ahead immediately. Roz went to work and completed the staging within the very limited timeframe available.


The apartment was a beautiful 3 bedroom apartment but lacked life and warmth without furniture and design objects. Once Tick-A-Dee-Boo had staged the apartment it bought it to life and immediately made it easy for my clients (buyers) to see the potential of the space so they could imagine living there themselves.

I would highly recommend Tick-A-Dee-Boo to anyone looking to add appeal and warmth to any house or apartment. Roz’s sense of design and creative direction in parallel with her high level of service and warm personality made it a pleasure to work with her.
