Paxton and her team did a great job. She was able to point out items that needed to be removed and replaced with her staging furniture. The furniture she chose was perfect.

Paxton was efficient and knew exactly what to do from the start. We had a partial stage while we were still living in the home, and she expertly identified which of our things could stay, and then seamlessly enhanced the decor with her pieces. The guys were great to have in the house. Careful with our house and our furniture. Friendly, professional folks. Our home sold within 2 weeks of staging after we had tried to sell for over 2 months without. Very satisfied customers!

My husband and I recently hired Paxton and the StageWorks team to prepare our Cathedral Hill property for the market, and the results were nothing short of remarkable. In just a few hours, they transformed our condo into a warm, inviting space—one that looked as if it had been lifted straight from the pages of Interior Design magazine.
Thanks to their expertise, our condo sold in less than 24 hours after hitting the market—a testament to the power of great staging. We truly believe StageWorks played a major role in this astonishingly quick sale.
Thank you, Paxton and team, for your incredible talent and vision!

StageWorks home staging sold our house. Worked with Anita and went through the house with her in detail and my wife and I described our vision for each room. All of the rooms had 10 years of family memories raising our three kids for us. She listened and was supportive. Initially she suggested we go with a more value oriented offering and stage just a few rooms, but we really wanted to present the house with all the rooms staged just the way it was for our family, so that's what we did. Pricing was competitive and Anita was able to do her part when she said she would, and clean up when we needed her out to close. Great business, great people.
The proofs and the pudding... we sold our house within the time allotted for staging.

StageWorks came highly recommended by my realtor and did not disappoint. Anita and her crew were highly professional and responsive to my communication, and easily handled a mid contract change order. Most importantly the home looked beautiful and very inviting to prospective buyers. I gladly use StageWorks again.
