This was my first experience with Vannika and the Staging Tree, but it will not be my last. Professional, human, easy to work with! Plus, they designed the San Francisco space with little input on our end. The result was beautiful, and it highlighted everything we needed it to in an efficient one-bedroom space. This particular city listing had certain bold paint colors other than the typical staged white, and the Staging Tree worked with the colors for a modern yet homey feel. Their team understands proportion, and it felt like the furniture was made for the space. The inventory is high quality. Many times potential buyers asked if the sellers were still living in the space, because it did not feel staged... meaning, the furniture had a nice flow and the kind of lived-in quality that helps buyers immediately see a place like it's their home (rather than the sometimes stiff or uncomfortable effect with other staging). One of the best things about the Staging Tree is the option to pay with credit card, which is very rare with stagers. So helpful for sellers who are incurring a lot of other preparation costs. Looking forward to working with your team again!

I've been a realtor for 25 years and I've used the same staging company for the last 10 years. I was in a pinch when I needed a new company to come in and stage my beautiful San Carlos listing. After finding The Staging Tree here on Yelp and seeing some reviews I took a chance and hired them to stage my listing. I can honestly say it was the best staged home I've ever had listed before. Vanikka was wonderful from start to finish and her taste for design absolutely beautiful, great quality furniture and we were complimented many times during our open houses on the decor. They say you get what you pay for and I honestly believe the value was there 100%. Thank you so much, sold in 7 days and hundreds of thousand of dollars above list and way above market value at the time and I truly believe the staging played a big role. Great job!

Vannika is amazing to work with! Scheduling with her is always easy, and she never fails to bring our visions to life with each listing. She really understands our preferences in design and her expertise maximizes the appeal of every home! She's also worked with us through some difficult scheduling and last minute hiccups and has always handled it brilliantly, turning stressful situations into problems solved. Our recent listing in San Bruno was such a hit that it practically flew off the market after one weekend of open house! There's no doubt that her staging really brought out all of the home's potential. Thank you so much Vannika! Excited to continue working with you :)

Bedding was not an air mattress and the colors were beautiful.

Thank you again Vannika for another job well done. My sellers were able to get their house pending within days of listing the home STAGED by your team. Thank you for helping my clients get an offer at above the listing price as well. You're the best!!

While I would love to take full credit for all the compliments I get on my listings, I owe most of that to The Staging Tree. Their design style is consistently clean, modern, and high-end. Their rates are always competitively priced. And they are super easy to work with. Everyone on their team is responsive, communicative, and flexible in order to accommodate this fast-moving market. I highly recommend them, and they will continue to be my go-to stager!

Vannika and her team are awesome! As a licensed broker for more than 17 years, I have used stagers and even staged homes myself and have to say they have the right touch. Often stagers "over" stage with overbearing elements that detract from the house and so many times, make home look smaller. They chose very popular foundation of furniture/hues and then accented with personal touches that made it stand out. They were fast and efficient. They truly turned a nice house with a blah appeal into a sharp model home. This house sat on market for 4 months with previous agent and once we had it staged, it went pending the first week! Great job and great value. Highly recommend. (see our before and after photos).

Monica took a well-loved, nearly 70-year-old house into a chic, modern, comfortable, and beautiful…read morehome! Her taste is exquisite! But more importantly, she knows how to make a house shine so it will sell. The emotions of selling a house are complicated. Monica has the patience and grace to make you realize your home will be in great hands and will turn out beautifully! Ours was so beautiful we were tempted to take it off the market and live it as she had designed it! The response to her work in our home was universally positive. She did her job of making the most of our house for the market, and the market responded very positively! Thank you! We were impressed and are grateful.

Wow -- from a dated look of the 1980's to a picture-perfect face of the 21st century! Where do I…read morebegin? I was getting ready to relocate, and my condo would be going on the market before long. The building in which I lived was 30+ years old and condos, like mine, that had not been updated carried with them the styles of years gone by. That look had worked well for me because I've never been interested in fashion so I haven't tried to keep up with the trends, but a dated appearance wasn't going to be attractive to buyers, and I had known for quite a while that my abode was going to need some work. My realtor and I talked about updates that might be needed, and she then recommended that we bring in Monica Stubblefield, the owner stager/designer of Marissa Designs Home Staging in San Carlos, to do the upgrades. I knew nothing about staging - much less anything about Marissa Designs - but my realtor, whose opinions I trusted, was so in favor of our working with Monica that I felt we couldn't go wrong. And we didn't! I moved out of the condo and into a nearby town in early spring, after the movers had packed up and loaded onto their truck everything I was taking to my new home and the junk removal company had hauled away everything else. That left Monica with an empty canvas with which to perform her magic. And magic it was! I didn't see the condo from the time I moved out until it was ready to show, but one of my neighbors peeked through the windows every now and then and kept me posted on the changes, which she described as very impressive. Monica painted the walls; replaced the flooring in the kitchen, dining area, living room, entryway, and hall with luxury vinyl; and installed plush carpeting in the bedrooms. Her workers painted the cabinets in the kitchen, removed the tile countertops and replaced them with quartz, and put in up-to-date stainless steel appliances (including a five-burner gas cooktop and a beverage refrigerator). Monica changed most of the lighting throughout the condo and staged each of the rooms with beautiful, stylish furniture and accessories. The transformation was incredible, and Monica completed the work within a time frame of only a couple of weeks! Finally, the day before the property went on the market, my realtor and her associate gave me a "walk through" to see what Monica had done. I couldn't believe it. I thought my condo was presentable before the "overhaul," but it couldn't compare to what I was seeing. Thanks to my realtor's sharp marketing skills and Monica's fabulous staging abilities, we received an offer the morning after the property went on the market, which was even before the realtor could hold an Open House. I had read that staging makes a huge difference in the marketability of a home, and while I'm sure a lot of that depends upon the abilities of the stager, I know it made a big difference for me. I am SO glad my realtor recommended that Monica, the owner of Marissa Designs, be the one to update and refresh my condo! It was worth every penny I spent to have the work done and it really paid off in the end. It isn't every day that one needs a home stager, but when one does, it's critical that the right person be hired to do the job. I see, from Monica's reviews, that she is highly regarded by her clients, and I join with all of them in recommending Marissa Designs for your staging needs. Monica does beautiful work, and she easily deserves 5-star reviews she continually gets!
