Five Star was great to work with. They were flexible with our jam-packed schedule, did a great job of staging the house, and worked with us to make sure that everything got removed at the right time.
Their pay-on-sale option is also great; we had so many costs with listing the house, it's nice to have one bill come at the end, when the house sells.
Our house got multiple offers, and some part of that is due to the staging!

Jesse Just3 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Jesse has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
We’ve used this staging company on both a flip and one of our new model homes, and they are absolutely incredible. Their eye for design and attention to detail completely transformed each space and made the homes feel high-end and move-in ready. On our flip, the staging played a huge role in driving interest—we ended up selling for well over asking price.
They’re professional, easy to work with, and truly know how to showcase a home to maximize its value. We’ll be using them on every project going forward. Highly recommend.

We always have a great experience working with this staging team. They are efficient, professional, and seamless to coordinate with throughout the process. For this particular property, their staging beautifully highlighted the updates our sellers had already made, enhancing the fresh paint, new flooring, and updated fixtures. The pieces they introduced felt clean, modern, and on-trend, helping the slightly dated home present in a more current light and at its very best.

Thank you for the wonderful review, Lauren! I'm glad to hear it's always a seamless process working with us. We enjoy working with you and your team as well. We look forward to the next project!
