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.

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!!

I reached out to Lindsey and without hesitation and excitement she was ready to work with me!

Audra did a thorough walk thru of the existing house, listened to our needs, and created a plan that addressed all the issues. Starting at removing the popcorn from the ceilings. Helping us choose the paint colors for the walls, the carpet, tile, and flooring. And renovating the kitchen and bathrooms. She also helped us select the contractors to do the work and was in conversation with both us and the contractor during the entire remodel. In the end, Audra helped us create a house that moved from the 1990s to a home ready for the 2030s.

We ended up remodeling our entire house, taking out walls, new kitchen, 3 new bathrooms, new floors, paint, closets, replaced doors to 8' solid wood doors, and Pinkys Iron Door french doors to the office. I mean honestly, our house looks totally different inside, all brand new. All of the finishes and touches flow perfectly together making the house feel airy and light. I think Kristen's pricing is a bargain for the service and involvement she gives. Having her help with the remodel reduced our stress levels by 1000% by helping us find the finishing items and make decisions that we'd get stuck on. She has a great eye for this stuff, and you will not regret hiring Kristen. I'll update my posting with more pictures soon, still need to get some art on the walls and wrap up a few minor things.

I didn't know what I was signing up for as I am a single mom with two little kids, but Stephanie was so patient, extremely helpful and went out of her way to make this remodel as easy for me as possible. It all started with me sharing some of the ideas of what I was envisioning and she brought everything to life! From putting finishes/ materials together and making everything easy for me to pick, to sourcing, comparing prices, negotiating to get me the best price...to working with multiple different contractors and vendors (because I had a short timeline to get everything done). I don't know how she does it, but she was organized, composed and always solved problems before I even knew about them. What a blessing to have her by my side with this remodel. Everything turn out absolutely exactly how I wanted and my house is like the talk of the town for a while!
