We used this company for the sale of our house. It came recommended by our realtor. It was one of the worst experiences we've had with any home home we sold. The furniture and decorative pieces they brought over did not reflect the style/feel of our place in the best way. We had to send bunch of pieces back (including air mattress for a $1.5M home). Worse than that, the project manager was not open to feedback, had a very strong attitude towards everything we said. She seemed upset and annoyed (and was making us extremely uncomfortable). She was very hard to work with. There are a lot of great options in DC when it comes to staging. I would recommend trying a different company. read more

We were disappointed with the service. The move-in team damaged the walls and gouged the 2 doorways bringing the furniture in. Luckily we had just had everything painted so it was obvious that Red House was responsible for the damage--unluckily they did a poor job repairing it and left obvious paint patch spots. Setting the damage aside, the furniture design was tired and sparse and the customer service team didn't seem to care a great deal. I wish I had used a different company. read more

I used Red House's Stage 2 Go package (https://redhousestaging.com/stage-2-go/). The team from start to finish was excellent! I only had a week to plan and most other companies didn't even respond to my inquiries. (Or others that did, said they wouldn't show me what I was going to get, saying I had to 'trust' their design skills.) Red House staff member, Shari, wrote back immediately to me and sent me all the info in an email that I needed to decide. When I explained the tight hallways, she sent me the dimensions of the furniture. She even made calls to find out if the sofa feet could come off to help get it up the stairs. The Stage 2 Go package is simple and I complemented it with things I got at Goodwill and that I purchased for my deck and bathroom (which was fine because I wanted to keep the new towels and shower curtain anyway!) The Stage 2 Go package also came with small things like a few nice artificial plants and things to put on kitchen counters. A few of the wood furniture items were a little bit scratched and the sofa feet were marked up. I think the company could do small things to repaint or re-stain some items (I quickly added touch up paint to the black sofa feet myself). Overall, this was very minor. The rugs and art were in great condition and the sofa and bed looked really nice and the sofa was very comfortable which is important for visitors who sit down to discuss the purchase! De-staging was a little tricky as they want 7 business day's notice and my closing went faster than that. I gave them preliminary notice to get on the books (before I was 100% the sale would go through) and this worked out well. Lastly, their workers are very, very nice, hardworking and professional. I mentioned to them we had just repainted all the walls, including the hallways in the stairway (very common for a sale) and they were ultra-careful. They didn't leave one mark at all on the walls. I saw some prior reviews where this was an issue and it appears the company has really worked on addressing this. Overall, I am grateful for the fast and easy process from Red House for the Stage 2 Go package - and the great price! I easily saved a $1,000 by going with the pre-prepared package and doing my deck and bathroom myself.

I can not say enough great things about Red House Staging!!! Below is part of a letter I wrote to Lyric, who is the owner of Red House Staging. "I've been meaning to write you for several weeks to tell you you how "off the charts" AWESOME your staff is here! Your company was recommended to me after my usual stager bailed on me last minute. I called and spoke with Evie my life safer!!! She is the perfect person to have representing your company on the frontline. She's professional, knowledgable and GETS IT DONE!!!! She always does what she promises and when promised. She gave me a great recommendation for a cleaning company. They helped me in an area they don't usually service because of their high regard for Evie. Now to the staging.... I staged 3 properties with you in a month and every single one went under contract within in the couple of days. 2 with multiple offers. One $20,000 over asking. Holly Theiss, Jasmine, Antoine, Cathy and their crews all blew me away... their work was gorgeous! I never had to do a thing. Your people are totally 100% on the ball! I have never seen anything like it. So many people in our business don't pay attention to detail or follow through and just don't do what they promise. Yours all do!!! The de staging guys always left everything in perfect order, as well. It has been a joy to work with your company. In fact, I'll be using them again next week! I know this letter seems over the top, but that's just how good my experiences have been and I wanted you to know." Since, I wrote that letter last month, Red House staged another property for me. And, of course... It's awesome. read more

We used Red House to sell our Capitol Hill home last year and were very impressed and satisfied with the service. We decided to put the house on the market while we were living out of town. Unfortunately, after several years of renting out our home, the house had taken on a very "lived in" style, and with us being away from DC, we were worried that the house would not show as well to potential buyers who might have been turned off by the pre-existing "transient twentysomething" character that our home's interior had taken on over the years. Red House staff stepped in and did wonders. When we saw the final results, we felt like buying the house (from ourselves) all over again. read more

Absolutely amazing! We were skeptical that staging would make much of a difference in the sale of our condo, but our realtor had worked with Red House before and trusted them, so she paid for it herself. We couldn't believe the transformation and are certain it played a large part in us selling our condo in four days for over our asking price. We were trying to make small improvements, but weren't sure which ones would make the most difference. Jay did a walk-through with us, helped us prioritize, and even told us the perfect paint color. Every single friend or contractor we had in the house asked for the paint color. I'd love to share, but in all fairness, you'll have to hire Red House. :) read more

Red House recently completed a staging project for a new condo development/model units that I'm working on. They were terrific from start to finish. The consultation was important since we had a blank slate to work with. The choice of furnishings was exactly what we were looking for to help market the residences. Jaye and his team were energetic and accommodating while on site. Overall, very pleased and will look forward to working with the Red House team again. read more

It was my husband's first house flip and we needed a stager that was willing to work with us. We chose the Stage 2 Go package because it was their most economical package. It turned out so well, and the pictures looked amazing! I took pictures of the house once it was staged and it made a huge difference having the furniture in there. At the house closing, my husband asked the buyers what 'sold' them on the house, and they said 'the furniture'! THANK YOU RED HOUSE!!!! Here are my photos! https://kristinasherkphotography.shootproof.com/gallery/701CHB read more

Red House Staging was the best investment we made in our home - Our tiny house on Capitol Hill had previously been on the market unfurnished for months, but with no bites. We delisted it for a time, had Red House stage it, and got multiple offers within days. We closed within a month of listing our home, and I attribute the escalation to the impeccable job that Justin at Red House did at turning our house look like a warm, inviting home. Can't say enough good things about the company's level of professionalism. Definitely worth the cost. They did such an amazing job, I'm going to hire them to come 'stage' our next home with our furniture. read more

I just sold my house for above asking, after having Red House stage it. Red House was amazing! I would hire them again any time I needed to sell a property quickly and for top dollar. They were very professional, and the house looked AMAZING. Their contract was comprehensive (I was nervous about what-ifs, and it was all spelled out), their design made the house look VERY high quality, and their service was wonderful. A++. I am convinced the staging paid for itself three times over. I went under contract in less than a week. read more
