The house transformed into a beautiful elegant gracious home! They included us thoughtfully in the discussions for choosing the most appropriate furnishings for the house, and personally as a client, that is one of the most satisfying experiences as you feel a part of the process that you are paying for as the client! The team were extremely neat, clean and courteous and worked efficiently in decorating perfectly! They completed the job expeditiously and we were thrilled. we would HIGHLY recommend Instant Interiors - their standards are extremely high, their interior design abilities are brilliant. Their quality both in the interior design and personnel department is perfection! When the house sold they came and removed everything quickly and left without a mark!

Jen at Stage-to-sell is a total professional. Her quote was 10% higher than a competitors but we…read morechose to go with her because of her flexibility and all the great reviews. I am sure glad that we did. Jen worked with 4 or 5 pieces of furniture that we had left in our home and set things up around those. She set up our home for sale beautifully and her crew was super careful with our newly refinished floors and freshly painted walls. When our buyer was trying to be difficult and asked us to move all the staging out within two days, Jen came through and got her moving crew there the next day. Thank you so much Jen!

Hands down it the easiest part of selling the place, I just told her where the key was and she set it up and broke it down when she said she would and it looked AMAZING.

The…read morefurniture, decor , and accessories were not only stylish and well placed, but perfectly to scale and really showed buyers how they could make the most of every room. Coupled with being certain the property was not priced too high, having this level of staging made the photos come out amazing, drawing lots of action to open houses... 10 offers, went well over asking, all cash, and a quick close. Numerous factors at play to make all of this happen, but the staging was most certainly a critical one. The cost to have Santina work her magic paid for itself many times over and really boosted the sale to another level. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

I had a similar experience to the other negative review. I had reached out and received a prompt…read morequote over email. I indicated I wanted to chat briefly before providing a deposit, and Melissa sent me her number. I called and left a couple voicemails over two days and did not receive a response, so I followed up over email indicating I'd be going in a different direction, and then Melissa called. We aligned on details and Melissa told me my date was "locked" and we agreed I'd pay the deposit as soon as she sent a proposal with the details. Four days went by, then Melissa sent me an email saying she could no longer honor the committed date. Very frustrating when working on short time scales during a stressful home sale process.

Paola was recommended to us by our realtor. At first we were skeptical that we needed a stager (it…read moreseemed frivolous) but we were wrong. Paola met with us for about 2 hours at our house, two months before we were going to sell. She gave us a run down of what she thought should be done. This included changing a carpet, painting a small room a neutral color, chopping down a small bush, getting rid of various pieces of furniture, moving some art work. We decided to go with it as we liked Paola's style. She is very direct and businesslike and we felt that she knew what she was doing. We did what she said and then about 5 days before the first open house she came back and she dressed each room with vases, throws, paintings, decorations. She moved furniture from one room to another, making me wonder why I hadn't thought of doing that while we lived there! In the end, our 36 year old house looked like a new house. We were delighted. I am pleased to say that our house looked so good that it sold the day after the open house for the asking price. It was a nice house anyway, but Paola made it really shine.

She was…read moreextremely thorough going from room to room and our realtor was kind enough to type up all the notes so we could remember it all! We appreciated that Paola tried to use as much of our own furnishings and decor as possible - moving items from one room to another or simply "decluttering" them. She ended up providing some small decor, pillows, and wall hangings and along with all the changes she suggested, our house showed really well. Our house went under agreement the first Open House weekend. Paola was easy to communicate with even answering last minute decor questions. She was mindful of all the costs of selling the house and accepted her payment when we finally closed. We really appreciated her help!

There are many stager's of course but Laura Graziano is the real deal…read more She has staged about a dozen listings for The R & L Home Team and each one not only SOLD but usually in less than 9 days and for over the asking price. The energy Laura brings is contagious & we love how she works close with the sellers to tastefully transform their homes from "living" in it to "Selling" it and get each room to have that "wow" factor. We think of Laura as part of our team and as the saying goes! "The cost of staging is always cheaper than the first price reduction". Many of our clients also use Laura to stage the homes they are BUYING which to us, speaks volume to her ability and approach. She is super genuine and is always upbeat and accommodating! Even when we tell her that we need her ASAP (which is basically every listing..LOL). We feel so confident recommending Laura to all of our clients, friends & family. Thank you Laura for making our listings (& our team) stand out. Rick & Lisa The R & L Home Team Braintree, MA
