Liana and her team transformed an empty dark house into a beautiful welcoming home. The little touches like coordinating color accessories and adding soft flower arrangements, have given the house warmth and light. Her expertise is apparent in everything from use of objects in the space to simple ways to increase light in a room. Brilliant professional team arrived on time, and installed, and cleaned up upon departure. I asked her if she did any design work, but she said that she only does staging because it allows her creativity to flow freely. read more

Stage of mind came highly recommended from our realtors. Initially I was unsure of how much this would help sell our home. From our first meeting Liana was amazing. She listened to my concerns and provided excellent ideas and things I could do, she even went to stores and took pictures of things I could install all before I signed with her. I was completely blown away with what she did to our place. There were many times I wondered if I even wanted to sell it anymore lol. I am planning to use her to upgrade our current home, she is truly a visionary! read more

If you're considering staging your own home for sale - FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS LARGE AND SMALL - DON'T DO IT! I get it, you're a designer or something in the creative field, you have a good eye for design, or your best friend was once an interior designer, etc. All the above applied to me and I thought how hard could it be? IT... IS... SUPER HARD and more so, TIME CONSUMING! Unless you have a warehouse full of beautiful candles, vases, wall art and furniture you are not using, you'll need to buy, source, borrow or steal all these things to make your cold, empty shell of a house a home. Liana and her amaaaaaazing team did this for us. A consummate professional with an impeccable eye for all things beautiful, Liana pulled together the perfect look for our house. By the time she was done, it exuded warmth, character and style. We considered a few other staging companies before we decided to hire Stage of Mind but I knew it was going to be Liana after meeting her in person. She came to the house, took photos of the space and provided us a quote within a couple of days. She was super easy to work with, her pricing was very competitive, scheduling was a breeze and her team did an incredible job staging and de-staging the house without leaving a mess or a speck of damage to the property. Last but not least, the house sold for much more than our asking price which we 100% attribute to the magic Liana and her team sprinkled on the property. To say hiring Stage of Mind was well worth the investment would be an understatement. I've already referred several friends and neighbors to Liana and will continue to do so! read more

LIFE-SAVERS!!! I had a week to sell my place and move DURING QUARANTINE! I was so stressed out and had no idea where to start. A friend recommended Stage of Mind and after seeing the raving reviews I decided to call them. BEST DECISION! Not only did I feel the greatest sense of comfort talking to Liana, but also the entire team treated me like family and with their years of experience, talked me through the steps of moving. I can't begin to explain what a difference they made in my moving experience. They're like your guardian angels that walk along side your move! I got through everything in a matter of a week, and they decorated my place so BEAUTIFULLY, that we got WAY over asking price! I ended up getting enough to move comfortably. Liana Raffi and team, thank you for your help, your kind hearts, God-given talent and for making my last minute move the best experience!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

Liana is amazing.  We were selling our home while we were living in the house, a very difficult situation for a stager.  Her process is very methodical and the end result blew our mind.  I can see why they call themselves 'Stage of Mind'!!  We have to thank our agent Grace Chang for introducing her to us.   In her first visit she walked with us through the house understanding all our requirements.  Next her team moved swiftly, measured and mapped the entire house within a few minutes.  Few days later, she had the design in place to accommodate our requirements and designed around what was put forward to her.  Following week while we were gone, in a couple of hours they got new furniture and staged our entire home.  When we arrived and stepped back into our house, all members of our family were left happily stunned and could not believe - this was our home.  For a moment, we considered not selling it and keeping it the way Liana had staged it!! The house got multiple offers, sold very quickly and above the asking price.  After the house was sold, her crew swooped back and with the same efficiency as demonstrated earlier, they took away all and left everything exactly as it was before the staging.   Some in our family believe Liana is a Fairy godmother!! read more

Liana and Raffi did a great job. I received many compliments on their decorating!! They were kind, and very easy to work with on the staging. I have used them twice now, the second time for my own home and they were wonderful both times!! Also their team that collected the items at the end were careful, quick and great to work with. read more

My experience with them was absolutely horrible. Liana was my Stager (We really can Not call her designer, because she is NOT). I hired her because of these good reviews. But from start to end, Liana didn't pay much attention to decorating our house. In fact, she was rude and unprofessional. Liana is not detail oriented at all. I was very disappointed about her staging. She used very cheap looking furniture and decor. The way she decorated didn't emphasize how a house will look better. It was so bad after the initial staging, I had to ask her to remove a ugly rug in kitchen, I personally changed how the sofas are placed because it was so ugly, and asked her to put in a little more decor on kitchen counter and bathroom and arts in wall. Yet She only brought in a few. I ended up spending close to $1000 to buy my own decorations to make the house look like it's actually staged. Liana was also very rude. Because she forgot to bring some decor items as we agreed, I asked her to bring over as agreed. She then delay the delivery and say she doesn't have time. And call my realtor to come pick up. We are all busy and who has the time to do her work for her? My realtor really felt bullied and disgusted. She and this compand was difficult to deal with. I Absolutely do NOT RECOMMEND! I use Yelp a lot. But after using this company, I start to think some business cheat and buy their good reviews. Update: Reply to Liana's comment: Liana, please don't think you can pretend by denying you ever know me. Let me remind you - I hired you to stage my house in August 2018, my house was in South Pasadena. I have to stop here for my own privacy. Please see below our text message screen shot. If you need, I can send you a lot more evidence that you worked for me, including the contract I signed and the payment I made to you. I'm not surprised if you don't remember - You never showed that you ever cared. However, I will never forget about you and the horrible staging experience I had with you. Please see the photo I updated here - the ugly rug you put in my kitchen. Speechless. read more

After meeting with several companies to stage our Studio City home, we decided to go with Stage of Mind. Shelby and I did a walk through of our home and she gave me great ideas as to how they could add certain accents here or there to accentuate specific areas and feature the best selling points. We decided to use the services of Stage of Mind due to their knowledge, experience and confidence that they projected. Shelby was very easy and pleasant to work with as we moved forward. I was extremely excited to see the vision executed and I was not disappointed. It provided a new, updated vision of the house with beautiful and considerate details. It made me want to move right back in, but we look forward to letting a new family create their own memories in our lovely home. read more

Liana and her team were absolutely an instrumental part in getting our home sold in Porter Ranch. With the gas leak issue that plagued the city all year, we were worried that no one was willing to buy in while everyone was rushing out, but right in the nick of time the issue was resolved and we were able to get the home staged and on the market. Liana is incredible at what she does. She understood the style of home and the style of decor the buyers in the neighborhood were looking for. Everyone who walked in to preview the home was full of awe at the decor! The home was in escrow in the first week and needless to say we are confident we would never have gotten that far without the proper staging. I would recommend Stage of Mind to friends, family and even strangers if they asked! Wonderful experience! 10 stars!!! read more

I found Stage of Mind because they staged the place I just bought and I needed to stage the house I was selling. My realtor had gotten 3 bids from other staging companies and the prices were astronomical. Patti dropped by the house, spent very little time there (according to my kids), and came up with an amazing staging plan. The house looked so good I almost wanted to move back in! Patti has a great eye, fabulous energy, and much more reasonable pricing. I'm using her staging pictures to show my decorator how I want my new place to look. The entire process was easy and the people were lovely and efficient. Even the folks who were moving furniture in had huge smiles on their faces so this company is doing something very right. Also, my house sold for way over asking (which surprised my realtor as much as it did me) and my realtor loved working with Patti. read more

When we decided to list our remodeled home I knew that Liana was the person to call. This is the second time we use Liana and Stage of Mind to sell.

Thank you so much Liana and Stage of Mind team. Looking forward working with you again in the future! read more

My parents decided to sell their home of many years. They thought it looked quaint but their realtor suggested a staging company. Living in the Hollywood area I was concerned about their craftsman home turning itself into a Hollywood set. At needless expense too. So it was my job to help my parents find the right company for this job. Liana was the only vendor I called off of Yelp that didn't open with snooty attitude. As we spoke it became clear that Liana was listening instead of talking. She completely understood that my parents home had some charm of its own. She left my parents best pieces in the home and only augmented where needed. I frankly wanted to move back in it looks so nice. And when the home sold her prices were easily absorbed. I can't say I've tried other vendors. But I can say give absolutely give Liana a call. I'm glad I did. read more

Our realtor suggested we stage our moms house to sell. Was a little unsure if it was worth the money. Well let me tell you I was so happy working with Liana and her crew of people that did a fantastic job at moving everything in and making it look so beautiful. We dont have a big fancy house but I believe her detail in knowing the area and what looks good is why we got 14 offers in 3 days that it was on the market. We received at and above our asking price. We have now closed this chapter of my moms and her two daughters lives. We have a SOLD sign in the yard. Thank you Stage of Mind and our Realtors Pete and Lisa Loeffler for making this experience a easy process. Thank you from the Meller family read more

I hired stage of Mind after reaching out to several staging companies and interviewing them all. By far their professionalism, promptness and attention to detail is what made them stand out from the rest and I quickly hired them to stage my home in Glendale. I was working on the day of staging and when I arrived at the house just hours after they were finished I was blown away at how my home looked! I even told my husband that maybe we should reconsider selling! After the first weekends open house the offers started rolling in. 7 offers to be exact! And we sold our charming home for 150k over asking. Talk about a return on your money!! I know it's hard to spend a little when you're in the process of selling but I know for a fact that if we hadn't spent that small amount in the beginning, we would not have had that huge return at the end! Well worth every penny and we owe a huge part of that success to this amazing company! I highly recommend this group! 10 stars! read more

If you're looking for someone who has vision, someone who has the ability to paint the picture for your clients, has the professionalism that complements your own, and is fun and easy to work with, then Liana and her crew at Stage of Mind should be first on your list of stagers to call. I've used stagers in the past who took an entire day to stage. My clients and I were blown away with how fast Stage of Mind staged an 1800 sq ft home. It was picture perfect in under 2 hours! Everyone who came in loved the finished product, and the home sold very quickly. Breakdown was just as seamless! I will definitely be using Stage of Mind again. read more

Really great experience from start to finish with Patty and Raffi. As a Realtor, many staging companies vy for your business, so it's easy to get inundated with too many stagers trying to get your business. I recently sold a home that had been completely remodeled, stem to stern. My client had gone way over her budget with the remodel, but knew how important it was to stage the property to get the most return that she could. After meeting a couple stagers, Patty's vision for the property really made the property pop. The use of colors palettes and motifs in individual rooms really impressed me, and it displayed well the versatility that the house could offer a buyer. The installing crew were great. These aren't typical movers. There were no floor or wall scuffs, they just loaded in and loaded out and set everything up very quickly. Raffi was also terrific to deal with when it came to the business end. These people work hard to make their clients happy, and I can see why they have so many 5-star reviews. I'll definitely use them again. read more

Liana and her team are amazing!! Their prices are competitive, furniture/items new and clean, customer service is responsive, personable and honest/real. Every time I recommend someone use them, they have great results when selling their home and are more than happy with the sales price. Co-vid and crazy market or not, staging matters and makes all the difference - don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Using Stage of Mind is a no brainer and exactly what every home needs to shine! read more

One of my favorite stagers! Always a pleasure working with Liana and Raffi. They take good care of my projects and are always flexible with the design that we are trying to achieve. Thank you! CCForteza read more

I can't say enough great things about Stage of Mind. They staged our 2 bedroom condo with outdoor deck in Toluca Lake. Super professional, easy to work with, quick to get us loaded in. Patty has a great sensibility for interior design, made our home look absolutely gorgeous, and went above and beyond to make the install easy for us. The color scheme and overall feel of her design fit incredibly well for our style and flowed from room to room. Liana was also a pleasure to work with, giving us a very fair price for the project, and made this process easy and concise. I highly recommend this company! read more

It's so important to be able to work with people/companies one can trust and I absolutely put full trust in Liana and her team. Liana is always so warm and enthusiastic, love her attitude! And the entire Stage of Mind team is fantastic as well! Liana's design aesthetic is so effortless and I'm always wowed with the end result. She's so quick to see what each room/property needs and is so detail-oriented. She always ensures that we are more than happy with the stage and we always are! Thank you so much, Liana! We so appreciate working with you! read more

When it came time to sell my house I had so many things I knew I had to do but staging wasn't one of them. Then a friend of mine dropped by and saw my empty house and mentioned there's a local company that does a great job at decorating houses to make them look more presentable to potential buyers and it wouldn't hurt giving them a call and asking for a price quote. So I found their number on Yelp, gave them a call, and explained to them my situation and budget, and despite them having a full schedule that week, Liana said she can squeeze in some time to stop by and give me a quote. So a few days later she came by and gave me a price I thought to be reasonable, given all the work they were going to do, and a week later her crew shows up and set everything up in a matter of hours. The crew was friendly and professional, while Liana was masterfully choreographing their movements and placement of the furniture, and in the end they transformed my sad, empty, house to a comfy, livable, home. I highly recommend Stage of Mind to anyone in a similar situation as myself, and I can tell you with confidence that it was totally worth spending the extra money for their services. read more

They always get it right! I've used Patty and Stage of Mind on multiple occasions as they are my go-to-stagers. Always willing to work with my client's needs, she really goes that extra mile to make it satisfactory for all parties involved. We've had the opportunity to use them for a partial stage and full stage and never have they disappointed us. I always recommend Stage of Mind to my colleagues in the office, I mean, why not? The last three homes we used them to stage all ended up selling on the first day! read more

Stage of Mind is by far the best staging company I have worked with. The owner Liana was easy to deal with and is extremely intuitive. I wanted to use most of my furniture, so she and her crew (her family) moved my things around, brought whatever else was needed, and they were super fast. She has excellent taste and yet is open to suggestions. This is a family business and everyone who works there is positive, pleasant and a joy to work with. They have lovely furniture and accessories, and know how to put things together. I was extremely happy with their work, and will certainly use them again. read more

They did it again! I've used Stage of Mind Patty being my designer couple times now. I was very skeptical about selling my property in a reasonable time because of the market timing but it only took three weeks to sell it. Whether it was 100% them or not and besides their professionalism and excellence in the work they produce, I will keep using them as my lucky charm. read more

What a privilege to work with this great team at Stage Of Mind! They are so extremely talented, and professional, and know how to stage a home that sells FAST! I highly recommend Liana and Stage of Mind to anyone needing their home staged to sell or if they are just wanting their existing home decluttered and spruced up! Patty did an amazing job for our neighbors who wanted a brand new look using their existing pieces. Their work is truly unbelievable, and very reasonably priced. Their style and vision is extraordinary! You will be amazed at what they do in very little time. The whole team is delightful and hard working, read more

I have used Stage of Mind for a number of years now and I love working with Liana. She has a great eye for design without going over the top (as many staging companies do).

If you're looking for a the best stager, who is dependable and reasonable, Stage of Mind is it! read more

I don't write reviews often - but I am picturing someone in the same place I was a few months ago when trying to decide if we should stage our home or not, and if so, who we should use - I'm writing this to help them out. My experience with Stage of Mind was 100% satisfaction from the first meeting to the final experience (today) of them removing everything prior to the close. My primary reasons for satisfaction: Liana was amazingly efficient and talented - she created INCREDIBLE ambiance and in every nook and cranny of the house and yard - all with very little effort, I was amazed. Secondly, they were efficient! Professional team that staged and de-staged - nice people, comfortable to be around and again: efficient, clean, organized. You're dealing with a team that knows how to do this. In short: total no-brainer to choose Stage of Mind if you're thinking about going that route. read more

Found this staging company through walking in on them doing work for our neighbor ;) Loved what they did there and decided to engage their service for our condo. Liana and her designer Patty were very nice .. and professional too. They went to look at the place and knew right away what it takes to make the place beautiful. In fact, in all the years we've lived there, it didn't occur to us that the rooms can be arranged in such a way that you have more rooms and space opened up nicely! You could tell they are very experienced in the field and they even gave me some useful tips and suggestions on how to successfully find a tenant fast. At that, they succeed! We found a renter in 2 weeks and are very happy at the rent amount agreed. Thank you Liana and Patty for the great work done. Will definitely recommend you to people! read more

As a Realtor in the area, Liana and the crew at Stage of Mind were extremely helpful getting my listing sold, and fast! Her pricing is reasonable and Liana's expertise and style really highlighted the property's features. Numerous parties commented on the staging job and a few buyer's even asked if it were possible to purchase the home with the furniture in place! At the end of the day, Liana's staging helped with putting the property in escrow within the first week it was on the market. Not only that, the accepted offer was almost 10% above asking price! Definitely worth the price of staging. Hire Stage of Mind and Liana will not disappoint! read more

I found Liana on Yelp and called her on super bowl Sunday afternoon. She picked up immediately and was able to give me a rough price range after chatting about what I needed. After making the initial consult appointment she was able to come out quickly because she knew I wanted to list my house ASAP. She is professional, courteous and so easy to talk to! Before I even called her I knew I wanted to work with her just based on the photos of her work. After I spoke with her I knew she was the one! She understood the market and potential buyer demographic. I didn't even bother calling anyone else. I thought her price is fair for her quality of work. On install day Liana came with her husband and brother (family business). Everyone was warm and professional just like Liana. Not a single detail was missed. And our home turned out even more beautiful than our expectations. We are BEYOND thrilled with the results. We are about to put our house on the market and after her staging we are 1000% more confident about the sale. Will update review with results and website. If you're hesitant about hiring a home stager, trust me it's only worth it if you hire Liana and Stage of Mind. *****UPDATE******* WE SOLD OUR HOUSE IN ONE DAY AND GOT OUR FULL ASKING!!!! read more

My husband and I are in the process of selling our home and felt that staging could definitely help with the sale. Our agent had recommended a stager to use, but the pricing was outrageous! We decided to use Yelp to aid in our search for a stager and are so glad we found Stage of Mind! Liana is extremely responsive (other stagers I called never called me back) and so easy going to work with! She was able to work with some of our existing furniture and also dress up a few of the other rooms all within our budget. We were happy with the results! She even gave us some tips about tidying up our yard and recommended an excellent gardener. Our yard now looks fabulous as well! Liana made the whole process stress free and she is just a pleasure to work with. If we were to ever need to stage a home again or even just ask for some pointers regarding design or recommendations, we would definitely use Stage of Mind again. Thank you so much! read more
