They took multiple pieces of our personal furniture and décor during de-staging and then acted as though it was somehow our fault for not reporting it fast enough. The missing items included sentimental pieces that were never returned. What's astonishing is how little effort was made to repair the situation. Rather than prioritizing an apology or proactive resolution, their first communication was a demand for payment -- while our belongings were still missing. Even once items were eventually located, no meaningful concession was offered. They refused to acknowledge the seriousness of their mistake and minimized it at every turn. Blaming the customer ("you should have told us sooner") while holding onto our property is unacceptable. A reputable company would take ownership, apologize without conditions, and offer fair compensation. Instead, SSTS nickel-and-dimed us, hid behind their contract, and shifted blame. If you want to deal with a company that talks down to its clients, charges top dollar for mediocre work, wastes your time, and shows zero accountability when they make serious mistakes, then this is the staging company for you. For everyone else: stay far away.

Seattle Staged to Sell staged our home in March 2025. Their designer recommended a "partial stage"…read moreusing many pieces of our personal furniture, housewares, and decor. When they de-staged our home they ended up taking several of our own expensive items (including an area rug, floor lamps, vases, and sculptures), those same standards were not applied. This was especially disconcerting because we were told that during staging, SSTS would not move existing furniture under any circumstances, yet during the de-staging moved a steel frame four-post bed to take our area rug from upstairs in our bedroom. SSTS prides itself as highly professional and reputable, but our experience was the exact opposite. The owner, Shirin, imposes strict rules on homeowners with language in the contract that heavily protects the company, but does not take ANY responsibility for damages to the homeowners property or for missing items. Once notified that they had taken our things, many weeks went by without any attempt to make things right. Instead of an apology or resolution, the first communication we received from them was a reminder that our invoice was unpaid. Ultimately, most but not all of our items were located and returned to us, with the exception of a sentimental sculpture and a wall mirror. I had requested that our total invoice be reduced for the inconvenience and was told no. No concession was offered to me for the major inconvenience, and I was told I can follow up with them in "court or litigation." Upon push back, SSTS agreed take $250 off of our nearly $10,000 bill. Based on our experience, I would not recommend Seattle Staged to Sell given the lack of accountability and professionalism experienced.

Working with Eduardo and the Enhanced Home has been problematic. From the beginning he ignored our…read morebudget and concerns regarding the safety of our small children, even saying "they won't be kids forever." They are 2 & 4 years old, so they might as well be kids forever. We never saw mockups, layouts, mood boards, or color schemes. When asked for this info, I was repeatedly told to "trust me." The furniture he recommended, and we purchased, is overpriced, poor quality and unsafe for our children. It has become apparent that he also marked up the furniture for his profit. He didn't wait for fabric approval before ordering, and refused to refund the purchase. We were misled regarding timelines (above and beyond understandable covid delays), emails and texts were ignored for two months out of the six month contract, and he lost the key to our home. I can't say anything regarding his staging business, but I have a lot to say about his interior design services and none of it is good. Eduardo is very persuasive and slick with words, so we believed he had our best intentions at heart. This was not the case. He is well aware of how we feel, and admitted that we didn't get the service we paid for but did nothing to redeem himself or his work. I would recommend avoiding The Enhanced Home if you have children, a budget, or care about furniture quality. I wouldn't trust the positive online reviews, as they appear to be full of Eduardo's family & friends.

You can draw your own conclusions Note: When Larisa visited our house to check it out, we told her our target date to list the house was in 27 days. She said she'd get us a quote the next day but we didn't hear back for almost week due to her CRM issues. When we finally got the quote, we exchanged a couple of emails to clarify some line items in the quote. At that point, she cc:ed our realtor to keep him in the loop, which made sense. But then things got weird as Larisa simply stopped communicating directly with us. The day after the receiving the quote and email exchange, we asked what next steps would be in order to lock in a staging date of May 21-22 (based on her telling us that staging would take 2 days). Total silence for 6 days. I followed up with an email on May 12 (getting pretty close to our May 27 target listing date!). Still no response directly from Larisa herself. However she apparently got in touch with our realtor -- and that's how communications went for the rest of the time. We never heard directly from Larisa at all until we received an invoice from her asking to be paid within a week (with spam-like reminders every couple of days) Pros Consultations are free, pricing was fair, and the final result was mostly fine. Cons * No direct communications from Larisa, only via our realtor, esp during the crucial 3 weeks prior to the listing going live * Changed the agreed-upon staging date with minimal notice, caiming a conflict with another staging job. This forced us to change all the other carefully planned items on our schedule (home inspection + sewer scope, carpet cleaning, move-out cleaning, etc) * Took 5 days to complete staging, with no explanation why, much less. apology. Which also forced us to reschedule some previously planned milestones. * Used a dining table with a prominent crack that was clearly visible, with no attempt to mask it with a tablecloth or table runner * Left dirt on the floor and big, ugly hooks in the walls (that we/our realtor had to clean up and remove) after removing items used in staging.

She recommended very specific wall colors, drapes, and light fixtures. She knows what buyers in our market are looking for and made sure we had the house ready for staging.

The house was on the market for less than a week and had numerous offers well above the list price. The final sale price was higher than we could have dreamed of and I attribute this in great part to Lisa's ability to make our house look spectacular. If you want to do it right, hire Lisa!

This was my first time staging a house to sell (though I've sold a lot of houses with my own…read morefurniture) and I didn't really know how staging worked. I had seen OnStage Seattle's work in person on a dreary house up the street that they made look amazing... it sold in a day... so I gave them a call. And I'm so happy I did. OnStage is fantastic: their people, furniture/decor/taste level and work ethic. The bonus is everyone is really nice, pleasant, smart and helpful. All the employees were great, but I'll mention the ones I dealt with the most. The estimator Joseph is a really nice, thoughtful guy who knows his job and is great on follow-up. Their designer Casey is extremely talented (and delightful, as well). She went to every effort to make my house look exactly the way it should and didn't stop until she got every detail just right. (She also has a great assistant female designer whose name escapes me... I'm sorry about that). Ilesha makes the appointments (and helps you out with everything else once the staging is done). She's friendly, very accommodating and extremely efficient. The two-day installation was a pleasure, too. When can you say that? The guys who brought in a whole house full of furniture were easy to have around, really hard-working and quick... but also very careful. The whole experience was actually a lot of fun. But most importantly... the results were amazing. Everyone was blown away by how good every room looked. Classic, modern yet elegant. My very upscale realtor was pleased with the results and has told me that everyone who comes to see the house comments on how good the house looks, and she and those other realtors have seen a lot of homes for sale. OnStage has fewer reviewers than a lot of Seattle staging companies as they get most of their work from referrals (or in my case, I saw their work in person), but I wanted to get this review on Yelp and spread the word. They are just so good at what they do, everyone should know about them. I would use them again in a second!
