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!

By far they have the most talent, easiness to work with and best price. My property has not been remodeled since 1989 but they made it look stylish and chic without expensive upgrades. Maryam knows how to give a space something extra that makes a buyer feel great when viewing your home. I got offers the first day it was on the market. Hooman was also a dream to work with he was all over every detail of the project. He fixed and repaired everything that needed to be done to make my property stand out in the market. It's clear to me if I didn't hire this team my house would still be sitting on the market. Calling them was the smartest move I made for selling my home!

She is also so wonderful to work with and super flexible to meet your needs. I 100% recommend Genesia and use her for all my staging!

Charged Nearly $2,000 Over Quote -- Breach of Contract, Legal Action Pending…read more We were quoted $4,459 for our project, which we accepted despite our budget being lower. We even cleared the entire space beforehand to help expedite their process and reduce costs. However, we were shocked to be charged over $6,400--nearly $2,000 more than agreed. We understand it's not always going to 100% reflect the quote, but there was no prior notice or written approval of extra charges. When we questioned the overage, they claimed they gave us "their most generous discount to date," which was misleading and unacceptable. We disputed the charge with American Express, but were told the final bill they gave us after the work counted as "written notice," despite no prior communication about the increase. This is unfair and contradicts their own contract terms. After consulting with an attorney, we were advised the company is in breach of contract. If they do not refund the overage and honor the original quote, we are fully prepared to take legal action. This review is a final effort to resolve the matter before going to court. Future clients, proceed with caution--get everything in writing.

I honestly don't know how they made the process so seamless. They went the extra mile and then even more. I joked that the only problem with Lisa and her team is that i almost didn't want to sell my home after seeing the photos because they designed it so perfectly for the space. Highly recommend!

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.
