Very impressed with Chic Home Interiors and the fabulous work they did to stage our home for sale in Mill Valley. Their work was transformative. It highlighted the structure and quality of the indoor and outdoor areas to make our house very lovable and livable. I was very impressed at how their pieces seemed to fit perfectly in all areas. Their crew did a fine job contending with some rather steep stairs to the house. The cost seemed very reasonable. read more

Chic Home Interiors - Home Staging Near Me - Richmond, California

For anyone looking to stage their property for sale, I highly recommend Joanne & the Chic Home Interiors Team. I always explain to my clients that my vendor affiliates are extension of my service: I can happily say that I place my full trust and confidence in Chic Home Interiors to stage all of my listings. Joanne takes great pride in her work, and her passion is evident in each property she works on. Joanne is not a stager, but an artist/property curator: she looks at each property as a blank canvas, and tastefully selects sophisticated pieces that really make a property stand out. At my last listing, prospective buyers overwhelmingly LOVED how Joanne's pieces really gave the property that "wow" factor - several of those prospective buyers even inquired about purchasing certain pieces. It is an absolute pleasure to work with Joanne & Team, and I'm looking forward to continuing working together with Chic Home Interiors! read more

So many compliments on the staging of our home in Crocker Highlands!! Easy to work with, excellent placement and design style, bright and functional staging. Home sold for full ask - we attribute this to the excellent staging, as well. We would highly recommend this company and will use them for all our future projects. read more

Joanne is an amazing designer! We were so very pleased with her design. She took a uniquely shaped home and made it look beautiful and inviting inside and out. Our home is on a downslope Oakland Hills lot and required thoughtfulness. It was a challenge and we interviewed several interior designers to help make the home more appealing. Joanne had the best ideas and it all went so well together. She added so much value with the attention to detail and her keen sense of overall style. Love every inch of the home! read more

Joanne is nothing but a professional. First of all, she was the only reliable Hayward stager I could find. She was prompt with her response, her prices were reasonable (I staged a 4 bedroom 3 bath 2 car parking SFH. That is a lot of furniture!), and she was able to pack up all the furniture in a ridiculous amount of time (gave notice within 24 hours)! Overall, If I ever have any more listings in the East Bay, I will contact Joanne @Chic Home Interiors for my needs. read more

Joanne is terrific. She staged our entire home and it looked gorgeous. Had a fast sale and I am certain the staging played a big part in that. Joanne was also very accommodating of our schedule and flexible given unusual circumstances. I 100% recommend this company for staging services. read more

Joanne is much more than just a very professional stager and interior designer. She is an ARTIST! Always finding just the right piece in just the right place. She is always willing to make every effort to go above and beyond, if there's anyway to accommodate, she finds a way to make it happen. I've worked with this amazing woman for about 5 years and as a Realtor, I would never sell a home without her and her talented and stylish abilities. I've offered her many challenges over the years and she has NEVER let me down, not even once. Absolutely the best and has become a dear friend. read more

As a Realtor in Contra Costa County representing many Buyers, you get the opportunity to see many homes that are staged. I started my career in real estate working for a very successful agent that always used the services of Joanne at Chic Home Interiors. I noticed that there is a BIG difference between the bad, good and GREAT stagers! Joanne's homes always seem to be not only GREAT, but distinctive to each and every home situation. I have brought Joanne in to stage many of my homes and I'm always amazed at how she is so in tune with what needs to be done to get top dollar for my clients. She always makes her opinions known without offending the Seller. If a Seller disagrees, she accepts the challenge and steps up to the plate to make it work. Ex. Home in Hayward. Joanne asked the Seller if he was going to paint the Orange wall in the living room. The Seller replied "No, not going to do it.". LOL! Joanne told our Client that she would make it work. What she did to transform this crazy color scheme was amazing! The living room and entire home looked FANTASTIC and I sold the home well over asking. This is just one example of a success story that I have had with Joanne. Tomorrow she will be staging another listing I have in Castro Valley and I can't wait to see what she will do to help me fetch top dollar for my client. If you want someone who truly has her heart in her craft, I recommend that you either visit one of her stagings or better yet, call her for your next listing. read more

Joanne was recommended by my superior realtor, Chimene Pollard. Joanne staged a house I rehabbed in Oakland for sale in 2013. She also did the colors for my home's interior in Alameda in 2014. Joanne also teaches staging professionally. She did an incredible job. In short, her knowledge makes the $$$ difference. Joanne doesn't just place furniture nicely in your house. She placed the furniture to accentuate the best elements of the house--in my case, the large opposite-facing picture windows, the fireplace, the antique tub, the hardwood floors. She even staged the back yard. Here's the difference she brings to a project: Joanne advised on several stages of the process, not just the final stage. She advised on the setup of the kitchen, both placement and finishes--cabinets (glass/no glass), appliances to install (or NOT install--very important), the color/material of the countertops, sink style, tile surround and floor. I didn't expect that her choice of light fixtures would create such an ambiance. She chose all the colors for the house, interior and exterior. She matched the finishes to the style and era of the house, in concert with her knowledge of CURRENT MARKETING TRENDS. A good stager must keep abreast of the trends in real estate: style, color, materials, etc., what's the NEXT new thing, not just what everyone has now. Joanne will also tell you what NOT to stage. There are instances when furniture should not be used, in some rooms or not at all. (Aside: she kindly consulted on the colors of my personal home interior and light fixtures, though that is not her main business. After using her for the sale of my investment, I was convinced no one should ever paint their house without an expert, professionally trained colorist. The difference between just one or two shades of a certain color, the touch of grey, etc., is her forte. You may like a certain color, but she will tweak the hue and pitch to make all the difference in the world.) My 2 cents for sellers: put your trust in someone like Joanne. That is, let her take the burden off. Most people want to "help" in the specific choices--don't do that. The goal here is to make the most money on the sale as possible. Give her your vision, be open, and let her do the rest. read more

Joanne did a fabulous job staging my listing! She offered advice on paint colors and even met with me at Home Depot to help pick out fixtures. She went above and beyond and I have gotten nothing but positive feedback on the presentation of the house. Her rates are very reasonable and she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Thanks for a great job Joanne! read more

Amazing Stager! Joanne has transformed the 2 bedroom apartment into a living haven. She knows what buyers want and how to make the apartment looks great. She took the time to check out the apartment after the new flooring installation so she can give me advice on the paint color. Everything in the house is well matched and color-coordinated. The best part is that I got multiple offers and sold to an all-cash buyer in less than a week. Thanks to Joanne and her staging team! read more

Joanne has staged dozens of houses for me and always does a beautiful job. The difference between the "before" and the "after" is amazing. The rooms always look spacious and sophisticated. She has great design and color sense and the spaces always look stylish and inviting at the same time. Bonus: she is a blast to work with. read more

I have know Joanne for about 20 years--she is a quality individual who is honest, diligent and very, very, very good at her craft of design and staging. She started her business about 10 years ago and I have been with her since then. She has staged "at least" 25 houses for me and has always gotten "RAVE" reviews from people viewing the houses. I cannot say enough about her keen eye of design and outstanding quality service. I would always use her in the future. read more

I recently had the pleasure of selling a house that had been staged by Joanne. In addition to doing a truly wonderful job of thoughtfully creating an atmosphere designed to appeal to the likely demographic of Buyers, she is just an absolute pleasure to deal with. She is a good sport, sympathetic to the other people she is dealing with - she is not in the least bit defensive or ego driven. I love her! The proof was in the pudding when everything went as smoothly as one could ever hope in the sale of a residential property. She just did a fantastic job of staging with great style and taste. read more

Having had several listings that Joanne has staged, I am such a fan of her vision & professionalism! My most recent listing, in Albany, got 5 offers. She assisted us with paint color and her staging was perfect. She responds very well to feedback and is easy to work with. She knows what showcases the best qualities in a property. Her prices are very fair and competitive too. I love working with her. Joanne communicates very well & always responds immediately! read more
