Several months ago, I was in the challenging situation of trying to sell my current house, and buy…read morea new house. I was first exposed to Spade and Archer because I attended an open house for a home that was BEAUTIFULLY staged. Seriously -- the staging stood out to me more than parts of the actual home did! Needless to say, when it came time for me to try to sell my home, S&A was top of my list. I knew staging my home would be challenging. It's an old house, and a lot of the rooms are narrow and long. I also knew it would be important to stage the home in such a way that the furniture would complement some of my home's turn of the century features. Well, reader, Spade and Archer absolutely, 100% delivered. They were friendly, easy to work with, and seamless in their set up and take down of the staging. Plus -- my house sold in 4 days! I would happily work with them again, and have nothing but great things to say about their aesthetic choices and approach to business.

This agency understands buyers and how to manufacture demand. Combined with a good agent, you'll be successful. Our experience was great. The designer provided frank suggestions but left final decisions up to us and our budget. He was upfront and crystal clear about the process. Our eclectic taste was complimented but neutralized in order to get us a fantastic return in the sale. That funky light we love? 80% of buyers don't love it and the buyer is the one who counts. The buyer wants to see THEM in the space, not YOU. The execution team was on time, professional, and thorough. Lovely people. The result: Sold in 7 days after a bidding war for $45K over asking. We beat every single non-Spade & Archer staged comp in a 1-mile radius in a red-hot market. If and when we move next, this will be my first call after my agent.

All I can say is, WOW! My husband and I were looking for a home for quite some time and when we…read morecame across a house that Eclectic Home had staged, we absolutely fell in love! It really made the house feel like home- we could totally picture ourselves living here. I know that this was a major reason we ended up purchasing it. We loved it so much that we even contacted the designer and asked if we could purchase some of the items for ourselves. She was extremely friendly and professional! We are so happy with our new furniture, and I would highly recommend this company to anyone who is looking to sell their home while having it look it's best.

Having sold several vacant properties in the past, we believe that staging a vacant home can…read moreenhance its appearance to prospective home-buyers. This was our first experience with On Stage. Their furniture and furnishings, though not high-end, were adequate and the few rooms which they did furnish, worked well. But our issue is this: They knew our budget and they promised to work within that budget. What they essentially did was a bait and switch on the price and the number of rooms we agreed that they would furnish. The wanted more money at the last minute. This underhanded tactic was employed by the company two days before the house was to be listed and available for showings. And, only three days before its Open House; Something On Stage was acutely aware of. Further, the company's rep misrepresented the daily rate should the furnishings be in the house over the term of the 30-day contract. The amended deal was now $6 more for each day! Our realtor, who was equally displeased, said that because of the late date, it would be impractical to try and get another staging company to come out the house with a new offer. As a consequence, we felt that On Stage coerced us into signing an agreement which they knew was not what we initially consented to nor what we mutually agreed upon. There are other staging companies out there which I have to believe are more ethical when dealing with their clients than is On Stage

She has been extremely patient with my decision making - always finding options that I feel comfortable with. (It's scary when you are a first time buyer- and realize how much it really is to furnish a home). We started off having a bunch of pre calls- where she got the vibe of me and my girlfriend's taste. And let me tell you .... It's not an easy feat when my style is PNW/ midcentury modern and my gf is English country side/ northeast . But we are SOOOOOOO happy. She sent us a doc of exactly what we were looking for- and even did it in phases. Little by little .... Am I right ? My favorite part- she always helps schedule and makes the delivery process up so smooth, I never have to worry about it. She is so responsive and on it. Thank you so much Julia- for making this semi - stressful task .... Fun!

They took a nightmare of a situation and went above and beyond to make it a dream. From the very beginning, Megan and Rachel took on the project with confidence, humor, and professionalism. While Megan and Rachel are wizards at design and listening to client's personal styles, it is important to note that their services go beyond simple aesthetics. They were incredibly involved with the physical design of the space, which included frequent communication with our construction company and subcontractors, ensuring that everything was accomplished according to the plan. This included but was not limited to: designing lighting plans; meticulously designing and measuring cabinetry, and then working with the cabinet maker and subs to ensure a correct fit; swooping in to fix address all the issues, from fixture placements to counter heights to wall lengths. Their attention to detail along the way was truly astounding and their knowledge of home workmanship is unmatched. There was never a problem they couldn't fix or an issue that they couldn't untangle. I know without a doubt that our project would not be as amazing as it is without them. Fox and Fern is an amazing team and I cannot wait until I have another project so I can work with them again.
