Katherine was referred by another agent, which says a lot! I was short on time on getting a stager, but she was quick to respond out of the other stagers I've reached out to.

The staging day a team swooped in and had everything set up in a few hours. My house sold for full price, the first day! Staging paid for itself by getting me the highest sale in the neighborhood.

I had an excellent experience working with this staging company for my Timberwood listing. From start to finish, they were incredibly accessible, kind, and professional. Their team worked efficiently without compromising quality, and their pricing was very reasonable compared to other quotes I received.
What truly set them apart was their ability to highlight the unique character of the home. The design choices were thoughtful, elevated, and perfectly aligned with the property — bringing out its full potential and creating a strong emotional connection for buyers. It absolutely played a key role in helping us successfully sell the home.
They were also very flexible and understanding, especially when I needed an extension, which made the entire process seamless and stress-free.
I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, professional staging partner who truly understands how to showcase a home at its best.
Huge thank you to Katherine and her team!

Katherine and her crew did an amazing job staging my rental property. My wife is a realtor and thought it was absolutely necessary in order for it to rent quickly for top dollar. I had recently completed a remodel and the home has a very open floor plan. The staging was perfect because it showed how to make the rooms flow seamlessly and still appear as separate areas. Their placement of furniture and accessories and their choice of colors made every room pop. They even staged the bathrooms and the kitchen. The home is near the beach and they were really successful giving it a beach vibe. Their price for staging was very reasonable and I made the cost back quickly because it leased in two days. I would definitely recommend First Home Staging and their talented crew of designers.

The staging elevated the space, highlighted its best features using some of the furniture we already and but was also able to add her own modern ones to show beautifully.

Katherine provided an amazing service! We staged our new listing with her and we were in escrow within 24 hours. She was able to place and remove the furniture on time, and the pieces she used accentuated the property. I would highly recommend using Katherine in the future.
