Excellent staging! The team worked with my budget and created the perfect space for a city 1BD condo. Great design complementing the fixtures and finishes already in the place. It's easy to make a small condo look cluttered but Herline and team maximized the space and created the ideal urban retreat. Professional service to top it all off! read more

Herline, Kacie and the team were all great! Herline was able to fit me in last minute for staging. She answered all my questions and made me feel comfortable from the start. Kacie (the designer) and the crew were also great. Kacie not only has a great eye for style, she's also a very sweet and compassionate person. We had to sell our home last minute and Kacie was so sweet to me and really made our home look AMAZING. I sent photos to friends and they said "are you sure this is your house!?" I couldn't recommend Let's Stage it enough. In addition to the excellent work they do, they are also very affordable compared to some other staging companies in the area. I am so very happy I went with them and would suggest you do the same!!! read more

Yvette and her crew are very professional. Yvette helped my realtor select the paint color for the walls, and then they were off and running. In one day Let's Stage It transformed an empty house into a beautifully staged house. I believe that her staging increased the selling price of our home quite a bit. It looked amazing, and we received 18 offers on our home. I would love to engage Yvette to come to my apartment to help make it look beautiful. She's got a great eye for design and decorating. Thank you, Yvette. read more

Extremely pleased with Herline, Alexandra and the whole crew! Such great ,professional people! Communication was great from the start and they "got" what my apartments needed immediately. Incredibly nice,flexible,fast and worked together beautifully. Lovely furniture,new decor and artful placements. They put a gorgeous glass desk in the living room which I thought was brilliant! Alexandra switched things up on the spot to really play up the beautiful color palette. I am a former stager and really appreciated all the things they did." 10 stars out of 5! read more

Herline and her group (specifically Anya) did a fantastic job staging my home in Belmont for a 9 day sale and a great price. Both modern and traditional aspects were used and the staging highlighted the beauty of the home in terms of space, light, etc. Both my home and in-law unit were staged and outside patio furniture fire pit etc provided. It was so beautifully done that I wanted to move back in! Her movers did a clean job and did not damage the walls or leave scraps on the floor. Anya is fantastic and allowed me to add my input without being overbearing. I highly recommend Lets Stage It to anyone who wants to sell their home at the price it deserves and maybe some more!! read more

Our designer Regina was wonderful, and really made our home shine. The whole crew worked for hours making everything look perfect. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out. read more

I'm about to review offers on the condo that Yvette staged for me. My In Box and Voice Mail are full. I'm facing massive interest and everybody is insane about the way our property looks. Realtors love it. I'm not a realtor, but a the wife of the homeowner. This was my husband's bachelor pad before we married. I asked hubby for some leeway in deciding how money would be spent on the sales process. Yvette was a key part of my "Master Plan" to put money into the look and feel of the property, in lieu of more help on the transaction. I have an experienced r/e atty. to help on the back end as needed. So my plan was to AVOID paying 6% to 2 agents. But instead I opted to pay buyer's brokers their full 3% and use a discount MLS service on my end. I wanted to see if we could squeeze a good result out of putting more $ into a light remodel (modest by Bay Area standards), then STAGE the place to the hilt. I wanted people to go "Whoa - I want this one! Now!" Guess what? It's WORKING. Agents and their clients are crazy about this property because not only is it priced well, but it shows like a dream - that's largely Yvette's doing. Sure, my remodeling and design choices were smart and modern (go me, etc.), but let me tell you... without staging we would NOT be getting the giddy, crazy, high-impact feedback we're getting. The offers are pouring in. STAGING WORKS and Yvette's staging is fabulous and well priced. She works hard, she supervises her crew carefully. Her work is artful, tasteful and the lady herself is a great pleasure to collaborate with. I've read some odd reviews on here about Yvette's company and a couple of them just don't make sense. I have no previous relationship with Yvette Thoma but everything I see tells me she is responsible and 100% professional. She's got a tremendous work ethic, she stages with high-grade, high-style furnishings. Even her art is good. And I have zero worries about her crew or their behavior. (Indeed her lovely son accompanied her and he was a fresh-faced, hard working college kid helping mom during his winter break. Nice kid. Nice family). I'll use Yvette again in a heart beat. So far, her staging is making that magical difference between "good offers" and "OMG, honey can you believe what they're offering?" (Coupled with letters that describe how they didn't want to leave the place... but move right in, just as it is.). Staging works. Yvette works. Her prices won't kill you. You can trust this lady. Provided you've priced your property right, Yvette's work can really get you those giddy/happy buyers throwing offers at you well over asking. My husband is delighted. We love Yvette! read more

I'll bet that you have one or two stagers that you work with. As Realtors, we all do right? It wasn't until I listed a single family home with only 780 sq/ft that I found out who had my back when It came to staging. I called 3 stagers that either I used on other properties or that were recommended to me from others in the office. All three had some reason to prevent them from helping on this project. I heard "it's too small of a project", "too far away" or the good old "I'm booked for the next 5 weeks". With my back to the wall and days before the first open house, I took a leap of faith and checked out Yelp. I read the reviews on Let's Stage It and called Yvette. She was there the next day to look at the property and it was staged on day two! Amazing right? Combine that service with Yvette's amazing eye for design and the property was a winner! You may say this is just my opinion but no, not really. I had agents calling me asking "Oh by the way, can you give me the name of the stager you used?" When it comes to staging, there's only one number I'll be calling. AWESOME JOB YVETTE! read more

Lets Stage It!! was a GREAT" experience! The crew came in and in a few hours my drab and boaring house was transformed into an exciting show house WOW!! Yvette Thoma is a savvy creative Designer, a true professional and a fair buisness women . A big thank you to LETS STAGE IT!" My home sold with multiple offers and were on our way I give them a thumbs up. Lisa Zidek read more

I worked with Yvette on a 5 bedroom, 2 bath listing in San Mateo at the $1,600,000 range and the staging was absolutely gorgeous! High-end, thoughtful and well-coordinated staging. Yvette worked with me the week leading up to the staging to discuss design and color details and she was extremely helpful. I've worked with many staging companies in the past and Yvette with Let's Stage It was the very best. Very, very happy with the finished product and all of the buyers were EXTREMELY complimentary.

Let's Stage It is a first class staging company with beautiful furniture at very affordable prices. We couldn't be happier with the service we received. Herline, the owner, does her absolute best to make sure her customers are happy and the staging is perfect. Two of her designers, Kacie and Regina were so much fun to work with... their ideas and decorating were over the top awesome! We have used Let's Stage It for two homes in San Francisco and in the peninsula these past two years and each one sold FAST and way over the asking price! Thank you so much to Herline and her fabulous crew! read more

I have used this staging company several times, and each time the staging was done well and completed in an efficient, stress free manner. Let's Stage It has a warehouse with their own furniture, they have their own trained movers and staff, which makes the process of working with them very streamlined. They set an appointment, they showed up on time, they knew what they were doing, and they were done in a shorter amount of time than any other stager I have worked with. They also take into consideration the type of home you are staging, and try to have furniture and accessories that complement the house. They staged a mid-century modern home and the furniture and accessories selected were new and modern, but had a mid-century feel which really brought out the personality of the house. Other stagers don't do this. This is the best staging company ever! read more

Even though my realtor coordinated all of the arrangements with Let's Stage It, I was so impressed with how beautiful they made my house look. They did things I never thought about, and I really think it helped sell the place as quickly as it did. Highly recommend this business! read more

Alexandra has a great eye for details, I was very pleased with her staging. Her work showed quality and care. Everything she chose was proportional to the room and definitely captured the standout features of the property. read more

Yvette is amazing and great to work with. I was referred to her from an agent and she rocked it. My condo needed to be staged quickly and she was able to squeeze in time last minute. Luck played a role on the timing because a few days prior, the perfect furniture for my condo was removed from a previous stage and someone canceled last minute so her crew could fit me in. The unit sold fast to a cash buyer which meant I closed 5 days after accepting the offer. We were contracted for 45 days but she got her crew together and had it moved out asap. Her crew are true professionals. One minor item that I didn't express was putting nails in the walls to hang mirrors and paintings. I had just completely repainted so it was immaculate. Yvette explained that certain hangings were just too heavy to put up with 3M tape. She and her crew assured me that they use the smallest nails possible. After all the items were removed, it was a non issue. They did use very small nails that were easily filled within seconds. The crew were very careful and worked very fast with no damage anywhere. Trust Yvette and her crew to design and stage your property. They won't disappoint(as seen by all the positive 5 star reviews). read more

Let's Stage It has grown so well and Ms.Thoma, the owner, seems to know exactly will make a place look VERY ENTICING. She took our nice 3 bedroom home a made it look like it just popped out of the box. In this economy, we felt it would be better if she staged it with a fresh look rather than our trying to refresh it ourselves. The sum total was larger than all the parts. Can you believe that even a fresh bouquet adds to the environment? Our home sold much more quickly than we hoped. VIVA Ms. Thoma and Let's Stage it. read more

Herline and her designer, Kacie, did a great job staging my aunt's vintage home in San Francisco which just went on the market a few days ago. The furniture they used is classy and the pieces chosen for each room really made the house come alive! I have received so many compliments on how beautiful the house looks and how the staging highlights the charm, beauty, and potential of the home! Herline and her team are friendly, and very professional! I highly recommend this staging company! read more

I have been fortunate to have been successfully assisting clients to sell real estate for about 5 years. Meg and I met because the staging company that I was using went out of business. I had no idea during the 4 out of the 5 years what I was missing. Meg and her team taking staging one step further than everyone else - They Care. They care about the Realtors they are working with. They care about the Sellers they are working for. They also care about how a property looks to a potential buyer. They make a home look realistic to the masses so that a potential Buyer can imagine themselves living in the home. Not only can they make a home that has been completely remodeled or updated look amazing; they can make a home that needs to be remodeled or updated look amazing. The staging has WAY more than paid for the expense on every home sold! This team truly adds value to a home that ensures the best sale price possible. I always welcome the opportunity to work with Red Chair Interiors. read more

Our experience with Red Chair Interiors was nothing short of appalling. The items Red Chair Interiors brought to stage our newly remodeled home looked like they were left over from a rummage sale. The furniture was in disrepair, scratched, broken and absolutely filthy. In an attempt to correct this, Red Chair Interiors, intended on refinishing some of their damaged items at our house rather than their warehouse. These were not light touch-ups - rather a full refinishing. When the furniture was moved into the home, there was no effort to protect the new hard wood floors from damage - nor were pads or felt placed on the bottoms of the furniture to protect the floors once the furniture was in place. Aside from the appearance of the items, there was a complete lack of design sense throughout. The furniture was out dated and completely out of style for the home. This did not complement the new remodel, rather detracted from it, creating an eyesore rather than an appealing, "I want to live here" design. This was unacceptable. It was obvious that Red Chair Interiors was overextended and therefore unable to fulfill their side of the proposed staging. The movers arrived with too little furniture which caused them to make multiple trips to add to what was already delivered. This was done while they also delivered to other jobs, not spending any dedicated time laying out the home. This represented a complete lack of planning of our project and home design. When we approached Red Chair Interiors about the quality of the project, they disagreed and were insistent on the quality of their stage. Unwilling to make any changes to improve the staging, Red Chair Interiors chose to remove their items, which they did along with placing a lien on the house for the remainder of their fee. This is an unacceptable business practices just before the sale of a home and goes against the terms of their agreement. Fortunately, we hired a competent staging company who did a beautiful job staging the home and whose operations we were completely satisfied with. Do not jeopardize the sale of your home by using Red Chair Interiors. read more

If you're busy here's the short version. -If you hire anybody else you will regret it. -Yvette clearly understands the Bay Area, the buyers and the market in this area and stages your property beyond perfect. -She uses luxury furniture, and her decorative pieces are works of art. -Yvette's gift of visualizing colors, shapes, designs and ability to put it all together to best highlight your home is unmatched. -You will get a flood of offers on your home for far more than the asking price. -You don't have to worry about her scratching or breaking or damaging anything in your home. Her entire team treats your home as if it were their own and are very professional and courteous. I noticed they even put little pads of the feet of the furniture so as to not scratch the new bamboo floor we put in. -GREAT communication from the beginning to the end. -Yvette is kind and somehow becomes personally invested in each property she takes on as a project. She is the artist and your home is the canvas and the work she does is BREATHTAKING!! If I could do this differently the one thing I would change is...I would find a way to try and skip having a selling agent and give Yvette more of the money she rightfully deserves instead of paying 3% to an agent who basically just stood there during the open house. Yvette you are seriously under-priced!! Details: I knew right away Yvette and Let's Stage it was the right choice for me, but my husband still made me interview a few other people and boy was that a waste of time. In our first interview I described what my hopes and vision was. I was having trouble articulating this vision because this was all a bit new to me, so I was very curious to see how the place would look. Yvette NAILED it. It's as though she has some sort of universal translation device that can translate first time seller babble into a work of art. I put so much work into remodeling the home, but without the work that Yvette did with her designing and staging it would have been time and money wasted. She honestly turned my quaint and updated townhouse into a REMODELED LUXURY HOME!! I didn't even want to sell it after she was done with it. Her level of detail was impressive and the care she took of not damaging our home almost doesn't exist anymore in any business these days. We decided to sell without a Fridge, and she even filled that empty space. Nobody even noticed there wasn't a fridge until they looked at the disclosures! =) Once the pictures were posted on MLS, the place was flooded with buyers. The open house was packed. We even had an offer before the first open house just from the MLS photos. Every offer came in at over asking price. My agent and I toured other properties to see what the competition might be. Luckily because of the AWFUL staging from other companies we quickly realized Yvette made my home ONE OF A KIND and there was absolutely NO competition out there and that is also the feedback we received during the open houses. read more

Selling a house can be more work than you want it to be. Yvette and team take a little of the stress away due to the exhaustive level of professionalism. You know they do good work when every agent who comes through says "wow" and wants their card. read more

I am a licensed Realtor who has used Yvette to have homes staged. She is professional and timely. The staging is good well done and the furniture of good quality. I recommend Yvette without hesitation. read more

Initially we were skeptical about the services of a 'stager', but after talking to Yvette and seeing how she would transform our home into a dream house, we became convinced that it was the way to go. And were we right. The house was seen on two different days by many people, buyers and agents alike, and many remarked on how lovely the house looked. Consequently, we sold it within eight day from the day of the first 'open house' due mainly to the marvelous work Yvette and her crew did. I would heartily recommend "Let's stage it" services not only for the great work they do but also for the very personable and efficient service by its owner, Yvette. read more

We called on Yvette to stage my clients home for sale after seeing her pictures on yelp. Turned out all of her furniture were out in homes but we got a full consultation with her and with her advice, we used the existing furniture and got some decorative items, and the home looked transformed! Whether you get her for consultation or full staging, you will not be disappointed with the result! read more

I originally found Yvette/Let's Stage It on Yelp. Wow! Her staging is innovative, creative, and the Buyers really respond. I've used her on two properties already, both selling for way over asking. She has a great personality as well, which makes her a pleasure to work with. Flexible, and full of great ideas! And really a master at what she does. She can walk right into a room and know exactly what colors, furniture, artwork, and accents the room will need to really "pop!" A real pleasure to know and work with! read more

Yvette is amazing. We always got compliments on our house about how pretty it was and that it was like a model home. I think I'm pretty good with colors and styles so now that we're getting ready to sell the house I was a little worried about whether or not we actually needed it to be staged since I though our house already looked close to a model home minus the cleaning. Haha. Ummm, yes we did! Yvette took our house from nice and pretty to amazing and stellar. She really know what she is doing and her staging is on point! We could not be happier. You won't be disappointed. I cannot say enough about how pleased I am and I think I'm pretty hard to impress. Kudos, Yvette! read more

Yvette is a pleasure to work with. She staged my home in Pacifica with impeccable attention to detail. Her choice of furnishings, accents and art fit the style and location of the house just perfectly. She not only attained the 'feel' we were after, she way exceeded any expectations we had about how much of a difference it would make. Our first potential buyer toured the home within hours of Yvette's crew finishing up, and made the offer we were hoping for that same evening. Done deal, we never made it to our first open house. Now I call that a very successfully staged property. Thank you Yvette!!! read more
