Testimonials

Dear people of interest in decorating and staging,
My Wife Susan and I hired Signature Properties to sell our home at 20 Maple Road in Horseheads, NY. Jan Duff was assigned as the decorator and stager to assist with getting our home ready for sale. From the time we met Jan on her first trip to our home until now which includes many contacts and interfaces we have been very pleased with Jan’s services. Jan is very professional, experienced, and honest with the highest integrity. Jan went thru our home room by room with many complements but also very helpful recommendations. Jan recommended we update our living furniture and pictures with more modern and staged furniture her firm had available. Jan recommended we show our dining room which was turned into a computer room with dining room furniture and an area rug. She recommended new counter tops for the kitchen, new up to date light fixtures throughout the home. Some things as minor as the layout of the family room furniture, location of TV, plants, and pictures. After making these changes along with repainting the home we could tell the difference in appearance these recommendations made. We had 41 showing on our home and had a contract after 42 days on the market.
Jan come back to our home on her own time for a second visit. Jan met me at another home and helped me move furniture, pictures and other staging items. Jan then come over and assisted with location and hanging of pictures and final staging. When we had an open home scheduled and the realtor hosting the showing had a personal emergency Jan offed her weekend time and hosted our open house at last minutes notice. Susan and I cannot say enough or recommend more Jan’s decorating and staging services.
Warm regards, Ron Byers

We heartily recommend Jan and the entire team at Signature Properties. While all of our friend were telling us horror stories about home buying, Jan made the experience of buying our first home easy and fun. She was kind, flexible, and very attentive to our wants, even when we we not exactly sure what those wants were. Every step of the process was explained clearly, and cannot believe how fast Jan would respond to our multitude of questions. We cannot recommend Jan and Signature Properties enough!

If you are ever in need of a realtor we highly recommend Jan Duff of Signature Properties. She is very patient, more so than us. There were times when our patience wore thin but she was very reassuring. She listened to our needs and wants, contacted us frequently and has a great personality.

Thank you Jan for all you have done for us. We could not be happier in our new home. It has all the features we were looking for. The neighborhood is very clean, well kept and friendly.
The established neighbors arranged a meet and greet gathering to welcome new families who recently moved on the street. These people told us the history of our home and extended a helping hand if and when needed. At one time everyone knew and watched out for each other and wished the same for the new homeowners.

We will surely mention the name Jan Duff to anyone we know who may need to sell or buy their home.

“We just wanted to say “thank you” for all the gracious ways you’ve gone above and beyond when it comes to our home over the past months! Since we now live on the other side of the continent, you checked the house routinely. Your service has truly been a Godsend.”

Jan Duff was our real estate agent when we sold our house in Elmira, NY in 2013. Jan was professional, ethical and kept good communication with us. She knows the real estate market in Elmira and gave us good counsel on how to make our house attractive to buyers. We would highly recommend her as an agent for a buyer or a seller.

Jan,

Connie and I would like to express our thanks for the successful sale of our property at 738 Hopkins St. last week. You handled every matter in a professional and knowledgeable matter and from the smallest detail to the major decision. We have been extremely satisfied with the three Real Estate transactions that you have handled for us in the last two years and we will certainly highly recommend you to family and friends. Thank you again.

Being first-time homebuyers, we were nervous when starting the whole process. Thankfully, we met Jeremy early on, and we are extremely thankful for all of his help! Every part of buying a home was made easy and understandable with Jeremy’s knowledge and experience. He always communicated with us clearly and transparently, and was timely with anything we might have needed, like setting up viewings or putting in an offer. Jeremy understood what we were looking for from the start, and helped us find many listings which suited our needs and tastes. We naturally had a lot of questions while looking at different houses, and Jeremy could always answer them to put our minds at ease. He is friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable. We are truly thankful for Jeremy’s help in taking this huge step in our lives, and without hesitation he will be the first person we go to when we need any real estate help in the future

If you are looking for a home, I definitely recommend Deb to be your realtor! My husband and I were blessed to have Deb as ours for many reasons. Through the long process of finding a home, she became more like a friend to us, which I found to be very unique. She is also very patient and genuine and not at all pushy as she finds it very important that you not just find a house but that you find a home you love. She was also very good at getting back to us each time we found another house online, and she always made time to go look as soon as we could. I’m so happy my husband and I had Deb as our realtor and friend and you will be too!

I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than Deb! Right from the very start we could tell she truly had our best interest as her #1 priority and it continued through the entire process. Deb was never overly aggressive (like many are known to be), she always informed us of the situation and allowed us to make our decisions without pushing us into her ideas. I could go on forever about how happy we are with Deb and even if I was forced to come up with something bad I wouldn’t be able to!
