We are proud to say, here in the Silicon Valley, you are never more than few blocks away from a house that had been staged by us.
Here is a graphical look at the homes we have staged in the past two years.

Not everyone has the luxury of moving out before putting their home on the market. Especially in tough economy, we are seeing an increasing demand to stage occupied homes. We try to work with owners’ existing furnishing, thus saving them the money from renting furnishings from us. Occupied homes are tougher to stage than vacant homes, the design process is more involved since we’d have to consider the owner’s furnishing and make sure the staging is practical to live with.
Here is an example of a condo in Mountain View we recently staged. The property was previous on the market, staged by another staging company, and after more than half year, it was still on the market. Then… the Realtor was changed, and we were asked to freshen up the place. We removed some of owner’s bulky, dated items, brought in few contemporary furnishings, injected brighter colors here and there, and voilà! The place was sold in a week with multiple offers at almost $30,000 over the listing price.
Does staging really work? 
Our staging combined with our complimentary eye-popping photography/virtual tour service give you the winning edge!

What are the similarities between the follow set of photos?
Well, each of these 5 sets of photos are really showing the same stuff: burger, gown, celebrity, dining and family room, respectively; the difference is really how the subject was presented.
If the burger company can spend who-knows-how-many-$$$$ for Paris Hilton to sizzle up their burger, shouldn’t you do something to properly showcase your home? Remember, presentation is everything, you are not only selling a home, but a lifestyle!!
De-cluttering, cleaning, painting, staging and photographing, we are here to help!
We staged an Eichler in Palo Alto yesterday, it was a partial staging where we worked with some of the owner’s existing furnishings and add our own to make it ready for open house. Personally, I love Eichler homes, love its clean lines, the floor to ceiling windows, the abundant lighting and love its openness. The last thing we wanted to do is to crowd the house with furniture and accessories, the idea was to put just enough to highlight the architectural greatness, keep it simple, and keep it refreshing.
It was exciting to work on this project, and we get to use a new set of gorgeous contemporary dining chairs for the very first time!
Anyways, we really enjoyed this project and got very positive feedbacks from the Realtor and the owner!
The house looks GREAT! You/staging company did a wonderful job keeping it modern, and bringing in just the right items to enhance the house.
Thank you so much,
Sheryl
