After 3 weeks with no interest I contacted Imagine This Staged because the realtor who sold us our new home had highly recommended him despite my reluctance on hiring a stager. Frankly most staged homes I've seen never inspired me. My mind completely changed when we hired Kayvon from Imagine This Staged and I went to see it after he staged it. The house looked amazing. The following 2 open houses our staged home received 2 offers. I give no thanks to the realtor who did little to help sell the house but I give Imagine This Staged a huge amount of credit for making a really nice house look amazing. When I saw it I couldn't believe how it looked with the vision of Imagine This Staged. I am still amazed at the job they did. I have never seen such a terrific job of staging a home!! Thank you.

He understands what will work versus what won't help the sale; he knows what kind of design will appeal to the most people, and how to make each room look functional, large, and light.

His price is reasonable, and he always responded to my questions within minutes (including FaceTiming with me while I was in a store shopping for a new ceiling fan and chandelier!). If I ever move again, I will not hesitate to call Imagine This Staged.

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 loved their merchandise, and purchased quite a number of big ticket items, which I have mostly…read morebeen happy with. However, the coffee table I purchased has a marble top which is cracking, and was actually repaired right after purchase. The owner, I believe whose name is Michael, was less than happy about having to stand by his product. He has quite a temper. The real reason I'm just now reviewing them is because of what happened yesterday. A very large, $900 canvas print I purchased and had 'professionally hung' by California Design's employee/contractor, at an additional cost, btw, fell off the wall! Not only is my wall gouged from the corner of the frame hitting it as it fell, the back frame holding the wire also came apart. That will be difficult to repair because of how it was initially put together. What I am upset about is that the installer used two screws, with no wall anchor or being secured by a stud, to hold this heavy picture! Unbelievably sloppy work. It took three years, but it finally failed, which he knew it eventually would. I paid to have it hung properly, which it wasn't. California Designs is now out of business, and no wonder! Good riddance to bad attitudes and poor work ethic.

We were fortunate enough to meet Michael and even more fortunate that he has such an eye for interior decorating. Pros ~Michael and his staff have an eye for what is going to look great ~Extremely great prices for amazing furniture that will not break the bank ~Lots of options to choose from and if you don't see it in the store it can be ordered ~Ability to have custom furniture done that is made locally and the quality is outstanding ~What Michael carries in the store is way ahead of what you could find in a place like Zgallerie Cons ~Nothing comes to mind Michael gets 5 stars in my book...He's furnished 2 entire homes, helped us redo over 60% of another house, and redone an office including flooring, wall covering and all of the furniture. Without the staging that Michael did for a house that was a complete redo the house would've sat on the market for A LONG TIME. Whatever your needs are you would be foolish not to go to California Style Home Collections!!!

Her incredible design style, professionalism, and genuine desire to build a long-term partnership immediately set her apart. She did an amazing job staging the home - we were blown away by the transformation and the incredible talent she and her team brought to every space.

We received so much positive feedback from buyers on the staging and couldn't be happier with the experience. This is definitely the first of many projects we'll do together.

After 40 years of joyful living, my parents decided to sell their home in Mission Viejo this…read moresummer. Unfortunately, when they were finally ready to put it on the market in September 2025, the housing market had cooled quite a bit, so we were worried the house would take a long time to sell or we would get less than my parents needed to fund their transition (at 86 and 88 yo) to assisted living. In short, we knew that choosing the right designer to stage the house would be critical. I come from a family of artists who have a keen sense of design, so to say I'm a picky customer when it comes to decor is an understatement. I reviewed dozens of staging portfolios before choosing AV Home Staging, and after working with Anna, I can confidently say I made the right choice. I was absolutely thrilled with Anna's beautiful work, responsive communication, and caring approach to helping us shine the best light possible on my parents' house. The best part: The house sold in 5 days for $75k over asking! And I have no doubt that Anna's artistry, attention to detail, and elegant design helped us secure several excellent offers ONE DAY after the open house, including two that were substantially over asking. Beyond that, Anna communicated with me regularly throughout the process and cared deeply about staging the house in a way that would honor the family that it had nurtured for so many years. She was also patient and understanding when I could not respond to her as quickly as I wanted to. I highly recommend AV Home Staging to anyone and everyone who is looking to maximize the value of a home they're selling. Anna is an incredible designer who takes tremendous care and pride in her work.
