After several months on the market, and some bad advice from the first realtor, I decided that it…read morewas probably time to address some cosmetic issues and do some staging on my late mother's 1956 Corvallis home, which had never been updated. Needless to say, the house had issues, including a roof at the very end of its life, an awful pet urine odor, evidence of previous rodent activity, dirty, chipping plaster walls, some nasty wallpaper and panelling, outdated lighting and flooring, outdated bathrooms (one of which had carpet, eww), no baseboards, and uneven flooring in some places. I reside in Colorado, which added a whole other level of difficulty and frustration. (Trying to sell a home 1300 miles away is VERY difficult, especially for a Type A personality...) I had contacted a contractor for an estimate. On a whim I did a Google search for home stagers in the area to stage the home once the work was done. I found Creative Concepts reviews, and spent quite a bit of time on their website reading articles and reviewing before and after photos. I also found their Facebook page. I decided to contact them for a staging estimate. Through our correspondence, Margaret let me know that her company also does contracting, and she would like to take a look at the home and provide a second estimate. I am SO glad I agreed! Margaret was very honest, and had to convince me on a couple of items that she felt would make a big impact for buyers walking through the door. She looked at everything through the eyes of a buyer. She also informed me of the bad advice that my realtor had given me. After a conversation with another realtor friend who agreed the advice was terrible, I terminated the agreement and found another local realtor. The estimate I was provided was VERY fair and reasonable, and actually a little lower than the other contractor I had been working with. I had a fairly small budget ($18,000) to address the numerous problems. Somehow, she was able to address all of the issues, and then some, within that budget. Very shortly thereafter, she and her team began the work. My prior contractor stated it would take 6 weeks to complete. Margaret's team completed the work in 2. Immediately following the construction, she staged the home BEAUTIFULLY! I have NEVER seen my mother's house look so warm and inviting. Just stunning. We were back on the market in no time, and listed the home over $40,000 higher than our original list price. In less than 3 weeks on the market, we had a very strong offer - $59,000 higher than any other offer we had received when we first listed all those months ago. (Do the math: The home was originally on the market for 4 months, and the highest offer we received was $220,000. For an $18,000 investment, we were under contract for $279,000 in less than 3 weeks. Amazing!) While the house was under contract, we experienced an unfortunate break-in. Within 30 minutes of hearing about the break-in, Margaret and her team were back in the house fixing the busted doors and changing locks. An immediate response, which I was so very grateful for. I cannot recommend Creative Concepts enough. Margaret was incredibly responsive throughout the project (very respectfully putting up with all of my anal-retentive emails needing to know every little detail of the project). Her design was spot-on, and she was absolutely CORRECT in her advice. I wish I had known months prior about Creative Concepts, as it would have saved me a lot of stress, a lot of money and time, and at least 50 gray hairs. I am forever grateful for Creative Concepts. My husband and I own a rental property in Salem, and will definitely be using her services again for any updating/construction projects while we own the home, and staging when/if we sell it. Folks, do yourself a favor and call Creative Concepts for a consultation BEFORE you list your home. You will not regret it. Margaret and her impeccable design eye will help you make your home look it's very best, appeal to buyers, and get your home SOLD much more quickly.

Many of his staff stayed when he bought the business; each one a delight and each has their own "specialties" when it comes to handling your items.

Sorry to say it rained the weekend of our sale; we live on the dead end of our street and folks had to park in our field. We were amazed how early some folks showed up; 6am! At the end of the sale the Queen Bee team did an amazing job as well. I hope not to "downsize" or move again anytime soon but I certainly Neel and his team!!!

We saw their ad on craigslist and decided there was enough interesting things for us to drive 35 mi…read moreto check it out unfortunately when we got there it was after 1:00 and they said well it's we're only open to 1: 00. Signs were still up on the street they also did not mention what time they closed. I was very disappointed with the trip that we took for absolutely nothing and we got back to the car and checked the craigslist ad and it had no mention of it being over at 1:00 . I really think that if you were going to use them you should really think about it because it didn't appear like it was something that I would want to have anything to do with anyway that's my POV.

The customer service was terrible. We signed a one month contract from 7/25 through 8/25. I notified them with an email on 8/21 that the home sold and we would not be extending. I was told that I didn't notify them soon enough and they would be charging an additional $550. I was told I should have notified them on the 17th because they require 5 days to destage. On 9/1 at 9am the staging has not been removed. (10 days after I emailed them)

I can't say enough about working with Molly. First of all…read morefrom a customer service perspective, she is very responsive, patient, and willing to answer any question. From a technical or ability standpoint, Molly is over the top. She has transformed my space from an empty shell of a house, into this beautiful, warm home - all within budget and all within my decorative taste - and it seemed so easy for her to do. It has completely transformed the energy of my home and my life. My homes feels much more "me" and I feel so much more at ease being at home and inviting others into my home as well. My favorite part about working with Molly is Molly. Molly is an incredible, genuine, caring, authentic, well-meaning, open-hearted person with no vested interest other than helping you in whatever way you are ready to and want to be helped. She is patient, she is a fantastic listener, and she gets down to the core of what you're saying (reading between the lines if she has to), and shows up ready and wanting to help. She doesn't try to make it about her or try to push an agenda or a decorative style or any of that on you, she just wants to show you the truth of who you are, what you're going through, what your space can be, and how to best deal with it and get through it. Again, can't say enough about Molly or working with Molly. I loved and highly benefited from my experience and highly recommend working with her.
