We had a 1950's home staged by Jamie, with her furniture and decorations. It is ultimately what…read moresold the home and we should have done it sooner. We put money into the home first to update with fresh paint and Jamie worked her magic. Her style is contemporary, fresh, simple, and clean lined and the house looked it's best when she was done. We had an offer within a month of staging it and before staging the house sat without a lot of interest. We were selling the house at a distance and Jamie took care of everything that needed to be done to stage it which was great for us. Everyone who saw the house after staging said how beautiful it looked. The house had it's quirks, like many do, and Jamie did a great job of highlighting the positives. She was easy to work with, very professional, timely, had a few great suggestions, and her staging was so well worth the money. We highly recommend her.

Paola was recommended to us by our realtor. At first we were skeptical that we needed a stager (it…read moreseemed frivolous) but we were wrong. Paola met with us for about 2 hours at our house, two months before we were going to sell. She gave us a run down of what she thought should be done. This included changing a carpet, painting a small room a neutral color, chopping down a small bush, getting rid of various pieces of furniture, moving some art work. We decided to go with it as we liked Paola's style. She is very direct and businesslike and we felt that she knew what she was doing. We did what she said and then about 5 days before the first open house she came back and she dressed each room with vases, throws, paintings, decorations. She moved furniture from one room to another, making me wonder why I hadn't thought of doing that while we lived there! In the end, our 36 year old house looked like a new house. We were delighted. I am pleased to say that our house looked so good that it sold the day after the open house for the asking price. It was a nice house anyway, but Paola made it really shine.

Paola was recommended by our realtor to stage our home in Acton which we sold in June 2018. She was…read moreextremely thorough going from room to room and our realtor was kind enough to type up all the notes so we could remember it all! We appreciated that Paola tried to use as much of our own furnishings and decor as possible - moving items from one room to another or simply "decluttering" them. She ended up providing some small decor, pillows, and wall hangings and along with all the changes she suggested, our house showed really well. Our house went under agreement the first Open House weekend. Paola was easy to communicate with even answering last minute decor questions. She was mindful of all the costs of selling the house and accepted her payment when we finally closed. We really appreciated her help!

Marta did a wonderful job staging my home in Stow, MA before listing it for sale! I also had…read moreestimates from two other companies that were referred through Angie's List, one was slightly more expensive, the other was less, but didn't include the master bedroom. I trusted Marta's ideas on how to stage the rooms, including keeping the living room as a living room, not as a second home office as one of the other stagers recommended. She also gave me tips on curb appeal and staging the deck, porch and bathrooms myself. My realtor reported many compliments on the staging during open houses and showings, and some asked for the staging company's name/contact information. Rick came to my home for the initial appointment, then returned with Marta for a second appointment the week before staging day. On staging day, Rick, Marta and a crew arrived with 2 trucks and asked us to vacate the home for several hours. We returned to a fully furnished home, including artwork and accessories. (I did need to dust some) The only mishap was one piece of artwork fell off the wall a couple weeks later. I texted Rick that night (he seems to prefer texting versus phone calls) and a new piece of artwork arrived first thing the next morning! I really believe their staging was a great value and helped my home sell quicker.

The staff, particulary Rick, worked hard to help me out, and I appreciate the efforts they made to make sure my POD was packed correctly. I did not like how they spoke Spanish about the work, in my home and in my presence. The company did get the staging done on time and the house looks good, but they fell down hard with the followings: 1. The interior designer was brusque to the point of rude on several occasions 2. The designer made personal remarks about me to my household staff 3. The designer tried to get my household staff to do work that IS was contracted for 4. Some of the rooms that were listed on the contract for staging were not touched. Specifically the designer wanted to represent an area I use for kitchen storage as a mud room. I went to a lot of effort to remove all the kitchen related items and store them elsewhere, but in the end, no mud room was created. Some big heavy items they said they would move, were not moved and I had to move them myself 5. The company doubled billed my credit card and made no effort to correct this until Citibank called them on it
