The Stagency did a 5+ star job staging/designing our house before it hit the market! Tori, Kim &…read moreKris did a tremendous job working with a difficult floor plan to really make the home shine in it's brightest light - allowing buyers to visualize the home at it's best and allowing us to receive the strongest offers. They also have a service called Design Coaching. In our case we were consulted on interior/exterior paint colors, new carpets, a kitchen renovation, and interior lighting throughout the home. After everything was said and done, we definitely had to second guess selling because the house looked so nice we didn't want to leave! That's a testament to the quality and value of the services provided. Reasonably priced as well. Would highly recommend!

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.

What an amazing experience we had with Janice and the entire team! Not only are they creative, hard…read moreworking, and professional, but they have the most beautiful and quality items! 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!! Our home went into escrow 4 days after listing and we received $100,000 over asking price! The 1st stage service is a great value and will pay off tremendously in the end.

We found Michelle a few months before when we were doing a master bathroom remodel and got "stuck" trying to choose the right material and products for the completed project. Michelle listened to what we had in mind and truly created our dream bathroom. Since working with Michelle for our kitchen remodel / whole house update, our house has become our dream home. Michelle has an incredible eye for making every room complete. She thinks about every last detail, knows where to find the right material and products, and has an excellent rapport with the vendors she works with. We never felt pressured to buy a product or material we did not love, and we appreciated Michelle giving us options every step of the way. Michelle made our project fun, and although there were certainly little issues that come up in any remodel, Michelle was able to make everything work out beautifully! Now that our house is completed, my husband and I walk into every room, amazed at how beautiful it is. Every room is exquisite, usable, and relaxing to spend time in. We could not have created this space without Michelle.

It pains me to revise my stellar review because I think their designers are very talented. But they…read moremust get things in order on the business side or they will continue to lose clients. While they work on hourly consult rates which is a refreshing option for many of us, on a recent project, my business was clearly not valued. Calls and emails were not returned for days or weeks, plans not sent as promised, all eventually resolved through my repeated follow-ups. The justified reason is that a bigger client was requiring all their time. Customer Service 101. I pay my invoices on time and without question. I will set aside the sales tax issue which required multiple emails to be resolved. The last straw was the requirement to pay for a 4th consult by a sharp deadline or my consult would be canceled. What choice did I have? I will find an interior design firm that will appreciate my business.
