We weren't able to use her services due to a leasing manager issue but will definitely contact her in the future with any needs.

I highly recommend Gina for her above and beyond service for furnishing my rental. I had…read moreinterviewed a few companies for this job and found Gina to be most responsive. I contacted her on a Monday and she was done with furnishing the rental by the end of the week! Not only did she provide furniture for the entire place, she also took care of art pieces, accent pieces, and even towels and hand soaps for the bathroom. I found her price very reasonable compared to some other companies and while some were charging an extra cost for the design, her design cost was included.

So after another staging group fell through, I called Limelight with a request to do a home staging…read morewith short notice. They called me back on their day off and came over even though they were on a day off. They got their quote to me that day, and they were hired. Limelight accommodated my narrow stairs, so they brought pieces to accommodate those needs. Their design was modern and classic mixed. I was very happy with the results. A last but not least, the owner is so friendly, laid back, and calm energy. I highly recommend this staging company, especially for Scotts Valley as they are local. Thanks, you guys!

I had the pleasure to work with Key Impressions for the past year on a recently renovated home I…read morecompleted in Santa Cruz. I really can't say enough about Blain and Nick's commitment to excellence. They were both extremely professional and exceeded every expectation I had in terms of quality, artistic taste, helpfulness along with their undeniable kind natures. Nick and Blain first showed up with consulting advice on colors palettes and contemporary ideas for my remodel. When they offered to help me with any questions I had, they probably didn't think I would take them up on it with the multitude of decisions I had make on this remodel. After all, I'm an engineer and not a home designer that keeps up with the current trends. In walking through the home they added some insights into what would make the home more desirable when it finally went on the market. I took all their advice and it turned out better than I had imagined. The final bonus was their actual staging. Well, these guys hit it out of the park in my opinion. Key Impressions will certainly not disappoint you when it comes to their professionalism, quality, commitment and earnest desire to help! Eric Haya- Homeowner Santa Cruz

Raj and Real Elegance Staging company was recommended to us by another realtor. What is so good about Raj and her company? 1st: The warm, honest, very personal, and very responsive customer service.

She also showed up the next morning, before the photographer, to make sure every small details were taken care of. The final product was fantastic: The furniture was in great conditions (clean, no stains, no scratches) and all of the art works were beautiful. This is the first staging company that actually pleased my OCD problem!! :-) 4th: It was a stress-free process to us. We didn't have to come back asking to fix anything that wasn't up to our standards, especially with a $2M+ home. 5th: Most of all, her price was incredibly great. We love supporting small business owners and finding Raj and Real Elegance Staging was a true blessing to us. Staging can make or break a house and Raj and her company has helped ours to receive multiple offers. This will be the staging company that we will be using moving forward. Based on our experience, we highly and confidently recommend Real Elegance Staging to everyone. We want them to be continue to thrive so we all can benefit from it!!!
