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.

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.

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!).

Then, when it was time for them to remove their items from the house we asked that they schedule it when we could be there because our stuff was intermingled with theirs and we suspected they would take our items. They scheduled the removal when we were out of town on a vacation and refused to reschedule it for any other time. We asked them to reschedule for another day multiple times and they continued to refuse. Seriously? There is only one day and time that you can remove your staging? When we went to the house after they had removed their items, they in fact, did take our belongings with them. They stole our items and took it with them. Granted, they were small decorative items, but they meant a lot to me. We did not get reimbursed for the items of ours that they took. And then, we were not allowed to close on the home without paying them. We are so frustrated. This company is overall very rude, unaccommodating and their staging is not of a high quality. I will never use this company again.
