I had the pleasure to work with Key Impressions for the past year on a recently renovated home I…read morecompleted in Santa Cruz. I really can't say enough about Blain and Nick's commitment to excellence. They were both extremely professional and exceeded every expectation I had in terms of quality, artistic taste, helpfulness along with their undeniable kind natures. Nick and Blain first showed up with consulting advice on colors palettes and contemporary ideas for my remodel. When they offered to help me with any questions I had, they probably didn't think I would take them up on it with the multitude of decisions I had make on this remodel. After all, I'm an engineer and not a home designer that keeps up with the current trends. In walking through the home they added some insights into what would make the home more desirable when it finally went on the market. I took all their advice and it turned out better than I had imagined. The final bonus was their actual staging. Well, these guys hit it out of the park in my opinion. Key Impressions will certainly not disappoint you when it comes to their professionalism, quality, commitment and earnest desire to help! Eric Haya- Homeowner Santa Cruz

DA BEST staging company we are so lucky to have found. We were looking for a good staging company…read morethat provides good quality work with reasonable pricing, especially with this very unknown market. Raj and Real Elegance Staging company was recommended to us by another realtor. What is so good about Raj and her company? 1st: The warm, honest, very personal, and very responsive customer service. Raj was on top of everything and patiently answered all of my (annoying) questions (since our 1st time using them, I wanted to be sure they are good...) 2nd: Raj has wonderful eyes for styles, attention to details, and especially she knows how to enhance the house's flow which is extremely important. 3rd: She and her team showed up on time and worked tirelessly to complete the big house in a day. 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!!!

They called me back on their day off and came over even though they were on a day off. They got their quote to me that day, and they were hired.

A last but not least, the owner is so friendly, laid back, and calm energy. I highly recommend this staging company, especially for Scotts Valley as they are local. Thanks, you guys!

Connie is absolutely amazing to work with. I have used her to stage a recent listing and she did an…read moreincredible job! Her attention to detail and capabilities with design and color are second to none. Her and her daughter Miranda are a very dynamic team making sure that the home is shown to its full potential. I would highly recommend them for any staging needs. I'll be sure to use them on my next listing. They take the time to evaluate the space and then pull from their extensive collection of materials to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive look to the space. She went as far as to pull a couch from her own home to use on our staging job because it had the right "vibe" for the space. They even staged a small bedroom that wasn't part of our contract just because they had the materials there and felt that space needed a little something at no extra expense. They went way above and beyond to ensure both mine and my seller clients satisfaction. Thank you Connie and Miranda for all that you do!!
