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.

I'm so glad I found Bless This Place to remodel my kitchen and bathroom. Cassandra's designs were…read morebeautiful and very thought out, considering everything I already had in my kitchen and bringing more function to this space than I could think of myself. Her approach to work was very pleasing as she treated me like family, and not just a customer! She handled everything for me and made the process go smooth. Casey and Chloe were amazing to work with every day. They were able to bring Cassandra's designs to life. Casey knows how to do it all and he also treated us like family! His attention to detail is by far superior as he was able to ensure things were done correctly. He made sure to be here on days sub contractors came and ensured everything ran smoothly. He also made some suggestions on things we could change based on his years of knowledge and keeping in mind my current lifestyle. I appreciated his honest feedback, his respect towards the sentimental value I have with things in my house and his willingness to also teach me a few things a long the way! I am so pleased with their design and build work that I'm looking forward to having them remodel more things in my house. If you are looking for a professional, reliable, trustworthy and skillful team, Bless this Place is it!

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.

She never pressured me while I was still considering whether to get an interior designer or not, and she was very upfront about her costs and services. She made the whole process really comfortable. When Ammie came to see the space, she had an eye for making the house a home. She immediately knew to recommend adding a kitchen island. This was something I was actually going back and forth on for a really long time, and I had so many people telling me not to do it and how it would look weird or there wouldn't be enough space in the kitchen, etc. After renovations, I'm so glad we got an island because it's functional and it really elevates the space, I love it. All her measurements and recommendations are spot on. Ammie took a lot of stress and weight off my shoulders because I knew whatever she recommended was in my best interest and aesthetic. I also asked so many questions and she was always prompt to answer. 10/10 recommend working with Ammie on your next design project. Thank you Ammie! :)
