If you are looking to sell your home and want to experience what happens when artistry and magic…read moreare combined with the highest level of professionalism, give the folks at The Stagency a call. I was selling a home in northern San Diego that was built in 1975 and lived in for 46 years by the couple that designed and decorated it. Although the home was in excellent condition ('good bones' as they say), it was badly in need of a modern look that would be inviting to anyone who wanted to enjoy the home's beautiful layout, golf course views, and outdoor pool and entertainment areas. I was able to work directly with Tori Prince, the company's founder and CEO, throughout the entire process. Tori walked with me room by room and explained her vision for how the house could be transformed to meet our shared goals. She outlined how the process would work, how each part of the project would be priced, and an estimated timeline for completion. Within 48 hours I had received a detailed quote that included not just pricing, but an estimate of the time needed for each phase right up until the date of the photography and video sessions that the realtor had scheduled. The design concept was exactly what the realtor and I felt would be best for maximizing the sales value of the home and I was convinced that the return on my investment with The Stagency would be repaid many times over. And it was. Tori has decades of experience in her field and a years-long relationship with the highest caliber craftsmen in the business. Everyone who came to the home was fully briefed on their job, completed first quality work - on time - and had a great rapport with both Tori and me. The transformation was seemless. The house sold in less than three days on the market and I received 20% above my asking price. Although the house was beautiful in its own right when we started, it was spectacular when we finished. My thanks go out to Tori and her team at The Stagency. I can't imagine that this project could have been any more successful than it was and I really enjoyed the experience of working with them. They are the best!

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with Jaki and cannot recommend her work at all. There were…read morered flags from the beginning but we wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt. Please don't make our mistake. Ultimately, Jaki did not understand our vision and kept pushing her design preferences on us. We had to fully create our own PowerPoint deck with reference photos to get our ideas across room by room; source our own tile (when she claimed the design we wanted didn't exist in the tile we wanted); ordered the wrong quantity of products; among many other issues. Additionally when we chose not to use her preferred contractor, she became even more difficult to work with. She claimed she didn't know how to use IKEA's closet building tool to help us build our master closet, was always running late to our meetings; nor did she know how to use Gmail to schedule said meetings. Due to COVID and vendor supply issues our renovation took much longer than anyone expected. But the most egregious and unprofessional behavior was when she quit the job BEFORE any of the fixtures she ordered were even installed. She literally took our money and ran. We were still in the middle of our renovation and had been project managing the majority of the work ourselves. To reiterate-- we paid Jaki in full for her services but she would not even honor returns or exchanges for products that we DID NOT install (because they didn't end up working in our space and were misrepresented in the renderings). In the end, we had to go directly to the vendor ourselves, who graciously honored the exchange given that we had such a terrible time trying to get that through Jaki. The whole experience has been extremely disappointing and we would not recommend her services.

Not only is she talented, creative, and full of great ideas, but she has an incredibly warm and joyful personality. I had never worked with a designer before and was somewhat skeptical, but I am sooooo happy I worked with Sharon. She totally understood the look I was going for and turned it all into a beautiful reality. Her rates are super reasonable and she was always very responsive when I needed her or just had a question. I love Sharon and you will too!

There are several good designers in North County but Sharon just goes the extra mile to insure it's perfect. We love our home. Ron B.

Tiffany from Classy Closets is amazing and a joy to work with. I appreciate her design style, professionalism and attention to detail. We are thrilled with the full build out of 4 closets, a new linen closet and garage set up. Everything works great and looks great! Tiffany truly went the extra mile by personally delivering 6 (heavy) rolling racks for our clothing. Classy Closets also fast tracked our installation so we could finally unpack and begin living box free! Jill

It really made a big difference to be able to design a piece for our specific storage and space needs. I can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Jaye.
