lower nob hill , staggering views. great decor!
Herman C.

i had a listing that needed to be staged ASAP. all stagers were booked out for weeks. i was in a major bind. but erika squeezed me in between jobs despite her packed schedule. she's a doll! the day of installation, unbeknownst to us, another person was moving in and monopolized the front parking load area as well as the elevator! other stagers would have just quit and come back another day ( and charged me client more i'm sure!) but ericka took it all with stride and figured out how to unload her stuff quickly with her crew and somehow managed to use the elevator to ferret her items to my listing. i was wildly impressed. she was determined to get the job done. she understood my deadline and urgency. i trusted her immediately and left her to do her magic. i came back later in the day, she finished early too! i was floored. it looks utterly fabulous and more importantly my seller was impressed which makes me look good too. thanks erika!!! PS: she is just really nice person too. not snooty like some designers. real down to earth

I'm a Realtor in San Francisco - Awaken Designs & Erika are my staging Dream Team! I make an appointment for Erika to come and preview each home and once she steps through the front door, I can immediately see her motor working - she makes great suggestions for paint colors, appropriate lighting design features, and then she takes accounting of the space and how she can maximize the flow and appeal of the home through her top quality and aesthetically pleasing staging pieces. Every listing that she has staged for you me has not only blown away every buyer that walked through the door, but has totally impressed the sellers that were selling these homes. Sellers even joke with me that the home now looks so gorgeous that they no longer want to sell!! Of course, when they see the sky high offering prices that Awaken Designs helps generate, then the decision is easy and they are so grateful for Erika's staging expertise. Thank you Erika and Awaken Designs for assisting in creating my listing masterpieces and at a competitive fee. Oh and when the home has been sold, Erika's team makes sure the furniture is removed neatly and the place is left sparkling. That's 5 star service!!! -Tim Fong of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

The finished product!

I was selling my families house on the Daly City San Francisco border at the SaddleBack Mountain…read moreGated Community. I was pressed for time and contacted this business needing staging in less that two weeks. Called on a Friday and a woman by the name of Ksenia Melikhova agreed to come and do a walk through on Sat. I was very specific in what I wanted and Ksenia had a similar vision to furnish the 1200 sq ft 3 bedroom condo two bath condo with mid century modern furnishings. She was a very good consultant. She guided me in the things I needed to do to prepare the space for staging. I only asked for a few things like bar stools for the counter and a patio bistro table and chair with an outdoor rug. Other than that she had full artistic freedom. I was truly impressed with how the placed looked after she was done. She recommended having the house professionally photographed as well by Open Homes Photography who was also very quick and easy to work with. Once the house was professionally cleaned, painted and staged the house went on the market for above asking price and sold within 3 days. I can't thank Ksenia enough for all her professionalism and expertise with helping to get my families house sold. Thank you thank you. I would 110% recommend working with this staging company if you are looking to sell your house.

Disappointed - Warning - Sandra from Fresh Home Staging requested a $4,000 deposit towards a total…read morecharge of $5,000 to stage my very small one-bedroom apartment. We agreed upon a $3,000 deposit as I thought a $4,000 deposit was too high. Luckily for me, my apartment sold off the market weeks before it was to be listed. My realtor contacted Sandra TWO WEEKS before the staging was to be done and she refused to refund all or any part of the $3,000 deposit. The contract did state non-refundable; however, it didn't seem reasonable that she would find it conscionable to keep the whole $3,000 deposit. My expectation was for a reasonable conclusion. Not to mention my realtor uses her often. She gave him no regard either (favor to a frequent client since she works with him often). Very disappointed in how Sandra handled this situation. Overall, bad experience, and I would not use this company again.

Sandra helped us quickly sell our condo with her fabulous staging skills…read more And while that accomplishment tends to be what most people focus on, the way in which Sandra conducts business is very much worth recognizing. She's responsive. Six months later, I'm still waiting for a return call from another stager I reached out to! Sandra follows through on what she says she's going to do. She's an excellent communicator -- very proactive -- and will use whatever means necessary to get in touch with you for updates, answers and decisions related to timing. I also found Sandra to be very flexible and understanding. She navigated delays, tight timelines, people/personalities, and whatever came her way with grace and ease. If Sandra gets stressed out or rattled, I never saw any sign of it. She was consistently focused on delivering a great outcome and doing so in a manner that very much kept us, her clients, at the center of that. It was a pleasure working with Sandra and I highly recommend Fresh Home Staging.

I've now used Priscilla of Halcyon Staging multiple times, and once again, she exceeded…read moreexpectations. Her staging at 2 Place Moulin was absolutely incredible. She created a bright, airy, sophisticated coastal feel that perfectly complemented the sweeping Bay views visible from all three levels of the home. Every room felt intentional, calm, and inviting, while still allowing the architecture and views to take center stage. Priscilla has an exceptional eye for scale, texture, light, and flow, and she truly understands how to emotionally connect buyers to a property. The home photographed beautifully, showed beautifully, generated strong interest, and ultimately sold with her staging in place. Beyond her talent, she is professional, collaborative, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with. I trust her completely and will absolutely continue using her for future listings. Highly recommend Priscilla and Halcyon Staging.
