    We hired Encore twice, and the experiences were very different. Last year, they staged our main home and did a phenomenal job. Vanessa completely transformed the house. It was a larger 4b4b home, and the staging felt polished, upscale, and thoughtfully done. The palette was neutral, the design felt modern and appealing, and every nook and corner was staged with care, including the outdoor areas. We were genuinely wowed when we walked in after staging. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vanessa also communicated well, walked us through her ideas, asked about our preferences, and made us feel involved in the process.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] That experience is exactly why we hired Encore again. This year, we hired them for a much smaller 2b2b home, where using the space thoughtfully was even more important. Unfortunately, the second experience was disappointing. The staging style was very different from what we expected. I assumed it would be similar to the first home, with neutral tones and a modern look, and I should have confirmed that more clearly upfront. Instead, the design leaned more mid-century modern, with bolder pieces and layout choices that did not work well for the space. In several areas, it felt less like the home was being thoughtfully staged and more like furniture was being placed based on what they had available. Even the lighting was inconsistent throughout the house, with some warm/yellow bulbs and some cool/white ones. I had to specifically ask for that to be fixed. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Communication was also poor the second time. Responses were often delayed, and sometimes we got no response at all, which made the whole process frustrating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The pricing process also left a bad impression. We were initially given one estimate, but before signing, the amount increased by a few hundred dollars. When I asked about it, I was told the earlier number was part of a range, but I distinctly remember it being presented as a specific number. To make matters worse, the original estimate they had shared through a link was redacted, so I had no way to verify it. One room especially highlighted the problem. As shown in the attached photo, they staged it with two beds placed perpendicular to each other, which made the layout feel awkward and did not use the room well. In a smaller room like this, they could have simply set it up as a bedroom with a small work area. We raised this within the 48-hour change window mentioned in the contract, but were told they would only swap two small furniture pieces in a different part of the house, and that anything more would require a 35% fee, almost $2,000. We also asked to see replacement options in advance and were told they would not share photos because of policy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]At one point, I even offered to dismantle one of the beds myself and leave it in the garage so we could avoid labor and truck charges and place our own desk and chair in the room, but that was also refused. The whole process felt much more rigid than expected.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] What makes this especially disappointing is that I know from experience that Encore is capable of excellent work. They absolutely delivered on our first house. But the second time, the quality felt inconsistent, the communication was poor, and the overall experience fell well below expectations.

    Your search for the most talented, humble, silliest, yet extremely professional home staging service in Silicon Valley is over! I've had the pleasure of working with Vanessa and her team of incredible designers now for almost two years now and they are absolutely my "go-to" for staging & design guidance. I'm a Realtor and business owner of NextHome Lifestyles in San Jose, and as a business owner myself I can most assuredly say that Vanessa is a very honest, hard-working businesswoman who truly strives to provide the best services possible. Not only is she very responsive to my erratic schedule, but she is also very accommodating of my clients' schedules and their needs. Her design advice is sophisticated yet practical, and her staging service is always complimentary to my marketing plan thus making me look like a hero in the eyes of my clients! Encore Staging Services is definitely an integral part of my marketing plan and a trusted business partner supportive of my success as a Realtor. Thank you Vanessa and the Encore Team...if I could give 6-stars I most definitely would!

Happy Holidays and Stay Safe! Air Hugs to Everyone! Dan Do

    This review is long overdue! I reached out to Vanessa after checking yelp reviews a couple of months ago because we thought we needed professional staging in order to list our home for sale and she seemed to be perfect! Vanessa was prompt in communication, she reached out right away, walked us through the process and scheduled a free consultation. Vanessa came over, took a look at each room and it's existing furniture, wall art and decor and basically said what to keep, what to move and what more to buy. She methodically explored our home and spent a good amount of time telling us exactly how to showcase in the home (wall art in the bathroom, how to set up the beds and pointers that we would have never thought of on our own). She was super honest and said "it's better that you spend a few hundred dollars and buy more wall art that you can keep and use for showcasing rather than hire my services because you don't really need me!" We were at a loss for words because it is so hard and rare to come across genuine and honest people like Vanessa in today's world and especially in the home buying/selling business. She also refused to charge anything for this entire session but one thing is for sure.. we will definitely be working with Vanessa again (maybe to decorate our next home). I can't recommend her enough!!

    Vanessa is extremely easy to work with. Highly recommend! We decided to sell our place only a few weeks before leaving the country for a month-long vacation. Vanessa and team was able to fit us in her schedule on a short notice and her team also helps hide lots of stuff that we didn't have time to move away. She is a master in the balance of adding in artful decorations vs leaving empty spaces for buyer to imagine the possibilities. We almost regret to sell our place after seeing the result! Since we still need to live in our place for 2 more month after the open house, I asked Vanessa to use our own furniture as much as possible. She has been very creative in mixing her stuff with ours and the end result was very tasteful. Our place has received 9000+clicks on Redfin and 20+ offers within a week! This is phenomenal even in the bay area!

After talking to a few different firms, Kanika Design just felt like the right fit. Kanika really listened to what we wanted. I've always been a bit nervous about using bold colors, but she pushed us (in a good way!) for a deeper color palette in the main living areas. It looks incredible. Kanika found us so many unique, high-quality furniture pieces that you just won't find at a big-box store. The biggest thing for us was logistics. Once the design process completed, their team handled everything - architectural, permit headache, and construction. Anyone who has done a remodel knows things never go 100% perfectly, but whenever an issue popped up, they were on top of it immediately. They kept the contractors moving and kept us updated on the budget and what was happening next. It's a relief to finally be done after 2 years and have a home that feels like us but way better. I can't recommend Kanika and her team enough. We're still obsessed with how everything turned out.

They brought in dirty and ripped furniture. We saw cushions placed in opposite directions to try and hide the rips. Everything was really feminine, lots of pillows and throws, in cream and white colors, targeted to a single Caucasian woman in her early 30s. There was nothing to speak to males who are also potential buyers or other cultures that are very prevalent in our area and also buy homes. They would not accommodate our request for having some different sized beds for the different sized rooms or even making one room a kids room. All they had and were going to provide were queen beds. They left dents in the house door and window frame, paint chipping, lots of marks in all the rooms on walls, doors, cabinets and stairs, scratches on the floor, and black patches on the carpet, particularly when they were removing all the staging items.  And we had a full interior paint job done and all new flooring and carpet. They were beyond careless and even the new homeowners commented on needing to get the carpet cleaned due to the marks from the staging removal. The person they had doing the touchups was incompetent. He used the wrong sheen of paint and put way too much paint on rather than just a dab where the nails actually were for all the "paintings" they hung everywhere. It was so noticeable. And this staging company chose the paint colors  for the interior so there is no excuse for using the wrong paint. We had to have them come back to fix more as every room had very visible issues caused by the careless people they employed. We gave them a pristine house and they left us with anything but.  This cost us close to $9,000, and they caused damage to what was just fully redone (painting, floor, carpet) that we also spent a ton of money on and time to work with the real estate agent and service providers to ensure everything was done thoroughly and well before the staging company arrived.  There was also nothing personable about the ladies when they came to measure the rooms. They could not be bothered to talk with us or involve us in the process. Maybe this is the norm for staging companies but selling our house is a huge deal for us and very costly to prepare it for selling and we don't want or deserve to be treated just as a transaction.

All workers were very polite and respectful, which we really appreciated since we were living in the house during construction. The process started with the bid, which was done quickly and clearly. Of the four bids we received, Sunny was competitive with others. However, we liked the professionalism and approachability of Jose right off the bat. Through the design process , we were updated regularly on options, and never felt pressured to select specific products. The suppliers recommended were excellent. Demo and construction was quick and very tidy. We lived in our house during construction, and both Sunny and their subcontractors made sure to keep things clean around their work areas. All workers and subs were always on time and showed up when they said they would. There were never long periods where no work was being done, as is often the experience with other contractors. Small things would come up during construction, and questions were asked, but they were transparent about options on how to deal with them, and we quickly moved through them. Often the construction team would be waiting on us to make decisions, instead of the typical reverse! They were again very prompt and communicative with construction. The quality of work was great too, as we would often look at the work during the process.

She also showed up the next morning, before the photographer, to make sure every small details were taken care of. The final product was fantastic: The furniture was in great conditions (clean, no stains, no scratches) and all of the art works were beautiful. This is the first staging company that actually pleased my OCD problem!! :-) 4th: It was a stress-free process to us. We didn't have to come back asking to fix anything that wasn't up to our standards, especially with a $2M+ home. 5th: Most of all, her price was incredibly great. We love supporting small business owners and finding Raj and Real Elegance Staging was a true blessing to us. Staging can make or break a house and Raj and her company has helped ours to receive multiple offers. This will be the staging company that we will be using moving forward. Based on our experience, we highly and confidently recommend Real Elegance Staging to everyone. We want them to be continue to thrive so we all can benefit from it!!! Thanks, Raj, for finding the career that you are very good at and for caring about us as your customers.
