You can put your complete trust that they will stage your house to perfection so that it will look great for the photos and the tours!!

I have hired 1st Stage for multiple properties over the years. In the past, they generally did…read moregreat work and I was impressed with their staging style, professionalism, availability, and pricing. That said, my most recent experience was disappointing. I had them stage a modern townhouse in Costa Mesa near the beach. Unfortunately, the staging style they chose did not match the aesthetic of the property at all. I am not a designer, so I typically trust their vision and let them take the lead. This time, I reached out to their team and simply asked if we could swap out a few items to make the space feel more modern or beachy. I was told I would need to pay a restocking fee. That response was frustrating. I had referred them many jobs and clients in the past, and while the fee itself was not a large amount, it felt unnecessary and left a bad impression. They did eventually waive the fee, which I appreciated, but the situation already felt mishandled. Fast forward a bit. The property did not sell, and I requested that it be de-staged. Their team came out a few days later and removed the furniture. A few months after that, they emailed both me and my client, who was the actual party to the staging contract, claiming there was a prorated balance due for a few extra days the furniture remained in the home. The amount was under $400. The contract was between my client and 1st Stage, not me, so I was confused as to why I was included. Shortly after, Mark Sutton emailed me directly asking if I could take care of the payment by the next day. I found that extremely unprofessional. Agents are the ones who bring them business, and asking me to personally pay an invoice that had nothing to do with me showed a real lack of business judgment. I expressed my disappointment with their customer service, and the only response I received was a payment link. If you are looking for a stager who truly feels like a partner and values long-term relationships, I would think twice before using this company. In my experience, once an issue arises, you are treated like just another number, and preserving relationships does not seem to be a priority.

Major waste of time. I gave this company a budget of 20k to design and furnish my living room…read more master bedroom, guest room and balcony in a 2200sq foot new home. This duo blew 13.5k in the living room rendering alone. these guys push to sell way over budget and are price gouging on the furniture which they claim a hefty commission. After wasting about 2 months going back and forth over the living room rendering they finally sent me a new rendering w the total costing $8500 and had what looked like cheap Wyckes store furniture. Romero,Obeji definitely drove me away by going way over budget and marking up the furniture unreasonably. He also had a bitter attitude when I explained how frustrated I am that he couldn't design within budget. Honestly it's sad because they have decent style in design but their sales practices are absolutely terrible. I wouldn't recommend their services to an enemy. Lack of professionalism and decency.
