Testimonials
"We sold the house within a week and had 14 offers. We do feel Valerie's staging had a good deal to do with that. I would highly recommend Valerie for future staging and for any Realtor trying to enhance a house to maximize its top dollar."
Dan Nessel - Realtor, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services - Santa Monica CA
"We had 3 offers even before the open house! I had quotes from 5 stagers & you were the only one that measured the space, your attention to detail is no doubt why my home wasn't on the market as long as others."
Emiliana G - Los Angeles CA
"Every stage needs a story. Not every stager can create one. This is where Valerie shines. If you want to SELL your house, make it talk. Tell a STORY. Communicate its assets & personality. ?Move the buyer from interest to DESIRE. That’s what Valerie did for us. We received 20 offers the first day. Bidding up the asking price. But Valerie’s storybook magic is just the crème. She is pleasant to work with, professional, exacting. And she is extremely fair pricing for such value. One word of caution: Seeing her story staged, we wanted to buy our own house back. Be ready to part with yours."
Evelyne P - Los Angeles CA
