Plus, they designed the San Francisco space with little input on our end. The result was beautiful, and it highlighted everything we needed it to in an efficient one-bedroom space. This particular city listing had certain bold paint colors other than the typical staged white, and the Staging Tree worked with the colors for a modern yet homey feel. Their team understands proportion, and it felt like the furniture was made for the space. The inventory is high quality. Many times potential buyers asked if the sellers were still living in the space, because it did not feel staged... meaning, the furniture had a nice flow and the kind of lived-in quality that helps buyers immediately see a place like it's their home (rather than the sometimes stiff or uncomfortable effect with other staging). One of the best things about the Staging Tree is the option to pay with credit card, which is very rare with stagers. So helpful for sellers who are incurring a lot of other preparation costs. Looking forward to working with your team again!

Wow -- from a dated look of the 1980's to a picture-perfect face of the 21st century! Where do I…read morebegin? I was getting ready to relocate, and my condo would be going on the market before long. The building in which I lived was 30+ years old and condos, like mine, that had not been updated carried with them the styles of years gone by. That look had worked well for me because I've never been interested in fashion so I haven't tried to keep up with the trends, but a dated appearance wasn't going to be attractive to buyers, and I had known for quite a while that my abode was going to need some work. My realtor and I talked about updates that might be needed, and she then recommended that we bring in Monica Stubblefield, the owner stager/designer of Marissa Designs Home Staging in San Carlos, to do the upgrades. I knew nothing about staging - much less anything about Marissa Designs - but my realtor, whose opinions I trusted, was so in favor of our working with Monica that I felt we couldn't go wrong. And we didn't! I moved out of the condo and into a nearby town in early spring, after the movers had packed up and loaded onto their truck everything I was taking to my new home and the junk removal company had hauled away everything else. That left Monica with an empty canvas with which to perform her magic. And magic it was! I didn't see the condo from the time I moved out until it was ready to show, but one of my neighbors peeked through the windows every now and then and kept me posted on the changes, which she described as very impressive. Monica painted the walls; replaced the flooring in the kitchen, dining area, living room, entryway, and hall with luxury vinyl; and installed plush carpeting in the bedrooms. Her workers painted the cabinets in the kitchen, removed the tile countertops and replaced them with quartz, and put in up-to-date stainless steel appliances (including a five-burner gas cooktop and a beverage refrigerator). Monica changed most of the lighting throughout the condo and staged each of the rooms with beautiful, stylish furniture and accessories. The transformation was incredible, and Monica completed the work within a time frame of only a couple of weeks! Finally, the day before the property went on the market, my realtor and her associate gave me a "walk through" to see what Monica had done. I couldn't believe it. I thought my condo was presentable before the "overhaul," but it couldn't compare to what I was seeing. Thanks to my realtor's sharp marketing skills and Monica's fabulous staging abilities, we received an offer the morning after the property went on the market, which was even before the realtor could hold an Open House. I had read that staging makes a huge difference in the marketability of a home, and while I'm sure a lot of that depends upon the abilities of the stager, I know it made a big difference for me. I am SO glad my realtor recommended that Monica, the owner of Marissa Designs, be the one to update and refresh my condo! It was worth every penny I spent to have the work done and it really paid off in the end. It isn't every day that one needs a home stager, but when one does, it's critical that the right person be hired to do the job. I see, from Monica's reviews, that she is highly regarded by her clients, and I join with all of them in recommending Marissa Designs for your staging needs. Monica does beautiful work, and she easily deserves 5-star reviews she continually gets!
