Prairie Design & Staging

Because of the more recent reviews with this company, I decided to give them a call. The owner told me that they can accommodate me this week. Met with the reps. Was told that it would be $ 2.50/sq ft. total $ 2,425 for the 970 sq ft. I told her may be I should skip 2^nd bedroom. She told me is not that much more. So I agreed and asked that she send me an estimate.
Got the estimate priced at $ 2,425. Noticed that 2^nd bedroom was listed for a full bed with 2 side tables, lamps, art, and accessories. Patio was listed with bistro table and 2 chairs. Texted the owner and asked that may be that room should be something smaller like for a child or an office. Also, wanted to know what the words partial staging on in the estimate mean.
She texted back and said that the estimate was wrong and that I was quoted for partial staging which only includes master bedroom but not 2^nd bedroom nor the patio. News to me. I told her the miscommunication is on her end (her reps) and not mine. She said that their full staging is $ 3/​sq ft. and will be sending me a revised estimate. I told her that I actually got a verbal quote for less, but decided to try her company out because of recent reviews. She came back asking to split the difference to $ 2.75/sq ft. I told her no.
First, it is bad business practice to put an estimate in writing, then rescind because they badly communicated, and expects client to pay more. Secondly, if $ 2.50/sq ft is partial staging, then why am I paying for the full square footage 970x$ 2.5=$ 2,425? It should be based on the square footage that they actually staged, which is 970 – 130 (2^nd bedroom sq ft)=840 sq ft. So technically, the price should be $ 2.50×840=$ 2,100.

After my parents realtor told us about Prairie we decided to give them a call for our own home and we are so happy we did! The consultation was a breeze and they installed the following day. Prairie brings a fresh and contemporary approach to their staging that we have not seen from other companies. They hand picked furniture that fit our home and the vibe of the neighborhood while keeping in mind what appeals to buyers. It honestly looked so good we thought twice about moving! Haha. We could not be happier with the final product and will be referring them to our friends and calling them to help decorate our new home! Everything is so chic. Thank you Prairie!

We’re selling our 900 sq ft starter home and we’re looking to sell it fast and for top dollar so we gave Shannon a call. Not only was she able to accommodate our timeline but she was able to work within our budget. Jami came to our home and did the initial walk through. She was so friendly and even gave me tips for rooms that we weren’t paying to stage. Our home looks beautiful and feels so open, everything came together so well. We are so pleased with our experience and the level of professionalism mixed with friendliness that Shannon and her team provided.

Prairie Home Styling is a miracle worker! Our agent suggested we bring them in for our home in south Orange County. We were nervous that we’d have to spend a bunch of money on a house we were just selling. But their tips and ideas to update the house and staging were brilliant and they worked with our budget! Our home transformed into a beautiful newer version of itself without losing it’s charm that made us fall in love with it years ago. Thank you Prairie Home Styling team!

Worked with Shannon a few times she always works around our schedule and has done a great job!!!
Very happy!!!

I called Prairie after speaking with another stager who I was not all that impressed with just based on our phone conversation. I spoke Jamie who put me in touch with the owner Shannon who was very professional. Shannon and I met and she went through the house and made notes on what she needed in order to stage our home. I thought Prairie offered competitive pricing and was the best in terms of their design aesthetic, and had the quickest turnaround time, being able to complete staging in just one day. I was more than impressed with the quality of inventory used for the stage as well as the fresh; light and open feel Shannon and her team brought to our home. We were able to sell in record time and above asking! We couldn’t have done it without Prairie. I would highly recommend Prairie to anyone including family and friends. Thanks again Prairie for a job well done!

Shannon and her team did a fantastic job for my sellers of 42 Conservancy in Irvine. Working on short notice, Prairie Home Styling came in and staged the home, which most definitely helped us achieve a top model-​match sales price. Highly recommended!

I found Prairie Home Styling on Instagram, and had to reach out when I saw their work. I’m a local real estate investor, who was needing a company to stage our home in order to obtain top dollar on our product. Shannon, the owner came onsite to do a walk through with me. We had a vision of the type of clients that would purchase this house, and she understood our needs. The team did an excellent job staging! Our home was on the market for 8 days, after receiving our first offer. We know that the staging really played into getting this offer so quickly. We thank Prairie Home Styling for being so quick and efficient. We definitely plan to use them on future projects, and would recommend them to anyone.

Shannon and Jamie did a beautiful job with my listing in Irvine. They even came after hours to accommodate my clients’ needs and their work made such a huge difference!

My wife and I hired Prairie Home Styling to stage our property in Dover Shores, Newport Beach last month. We paid before to reserve our installation– it took them one day to install and they were very accommodating with our schedule. We were in escrow within 5 days and the buyers wanted to purchase some of the furniture. They really helped our listing stand out– with their modern furniture choices that seemed tailored to fit our house perfectly. 5 stars, thanks Prairie!

We Love Shannon! She’s one of the best home stagers in OC! She sees our vision and pays attention to every detail including Perrier water on display with fresh fruit! (it’s important people) …Only once did we try a different option to be sadly disappointed, when Shannon came in and saved the day! If you have a high end listing. Hiring Shannon is worth every penny!

Shannon is the best! We couldn’t be happier with the partial staging that she did for us. Shannon knew exactly what furnishings to remove and what furnishings to use in order to make our house look the very best before we put it on the market to sell. She had that special talent to know right where to place the furniture and what to use for accessories and pictures to bring it all together. She was professional and so very nice to work with. The transformation happened right in front of our eyes and took no time at all to complete. The crew she had were also very professional and very helpful in every way. It was such a great experience for us! She was so confident in her styling and design and our house never looked better! Her price was more than fair, too. We highly recommend Shannon and just can’t say enough about her. Thank you for a job well done, Shannon!

I hired Prairie Home Styling to stage our pocket listing in Bel Air, Los Angeles. Shannon and her team came in, saw the space, made a design plan and sent me a quote. Compared to the three other stagers I called she was the easiest to deal with and her prices were the most fair — just one out the door price and no monthly charges. Her team were very fast and efficient and the movers were careful. Lot’s of complements. We were able to accept an offer quickly which was the whole point of staging. I cannot recommend Prairie Home Styling enough.

Shannon was a pleasure to work with she definitely has an eye for detail and will execute a beautiful home staging service. Stop your search you won’t be disappointed.

Shannon staged our Huntington Beach listing and did an amazing job! She was able to get the furniture installed in a timely manner and it really made our listing pop. I highly recommend her services!

I hired prairie home styling to stage my home in Santa Monica. They were very professional, on time and gave me a fair quote. I ended up choosing «partial staging» as that fit my budget the best. They were able to stage right away, it only took them 4 hours. I am not that much into design but the house looked brand new and the buyers even wanted to buy the furniture. I recommend hiring them, they made selling my house happen very quickly and i was able to get the price I wanted.

Shannon is awesome. I called about 5 other stagers and ended up choosing Shannon to work with (others were standoffish, unprofessional, or way too chatty). She was easy to work with and totally willing to work with my budget. She was always on time, professional, and responsive. If I had any questions, I could text her and she got back to me immediately. She took the time to understand the style I wanted and was flexible with me too. As you can tell from the pictures on Unilocal and her website, she has an amazing modern, clean style so that the staging doesn’t look like a typical brown/​beige «staged» home. She is upfront with her costs and doesn’t try to nickel and dime you with a styling fee plus furniture rental costs– she just gives you one out the door price which I really appreciated. I had to change dates and plans a couple times, and she was totally flexible and understanding. I would highly recommend working with Shannon!

I was so very hesitant to have someone stage my home in Orange County. However, I hired Shannon and I was so very glad I did! As a realtor and as someone that lives in another state, it was hard to let someone else have control. In my years in the business, have been through so many homes in which the furniture, or lack thereof, has killed many a deal. Also, it is important to me that you work with someone that is a person of their word and Shannon not only does what she promises, she is exemplary with her selections. With Shannon’s great vision my home looks like a model! I would highly recommend Shannon and Prairie Home Styling for any and all of your staging and decorating needs!

I am very pleased with the job that Shannon at Prairie Home Styling did for us making our home look wonderful for the sales process. Lots of buzz and house was in escrow within two weeks of 1^st open house. Shannon did a great job in making the house look warm and inviting, open and definitely glowing with a designers touch! I highly recommend her to prepare your home to sell.

Thank you thank you thank you Prairie Home Styling! As a realtor, one of the hardest parts of my job is selling a home filled with the homeowners furniture, photos, religious decorations, etc etc. Having to tell an owner that they need to take everything out of their beloved home and stage it is a very hard thing to do. That is where my success with Prairie comes in. I have now experienced 4 different cases in 4 different cities where we used Shannon at Prairie and we were able to break a record for the highest priced sale in previous years. Most staging furniture looks exactly the same. With each experience with Prairie, at the open house or private showings I’m asked if it the owner is an Interior Decorator. In other words. Buyers do not immediately think the home is ‘staged’. They think the owner just has great taste. This has been highly effective because it creates a sense of comfort and helps buyers to actually sit on the furniture and picture themselves living in the home. This is because Shannon is not just a home stager using the same ol staging furniture everyone else uses. She is also an interior decorator and she brings her expertise to the drawing board with every home she stages. She uses the highest quality furniture and a unique eye to every project. Prairie Home Styling is the ONLY team we go to for taking our listings to the next level. Thank you Shannon!!!
