Staging Artists

Amy West has been great to work with. She’s helped me stage many homes this past year. She’s also helped me create strategies to maximize the value of a house based on it’s particular attributes. She’s become an important member of my sales team. And my clients love the results.

Amy and Sylvia do a nice job at staging our listings. She’s competitive in her pricing and does help us with clients who don’t quite «get» why they need staging. They are good about using the client’s own furniture and supplementing with accessories. Overall they are great to work with.

I have been using the staging services of Staging Artists for many years and I am
absolutely committed to them as my staging partner. They are true professionals and I count on them for every listing to present each home in its best light. I believe that the final presentation in design and media has helped me to help my clients get maximum value for their home. Recently a seller told me that we had taken a «tear-​down» to a «million dollar» listing.
Thanks especially to Amy West and her team at Staging Artists.

The issue was resolved with Sylvia and I’m pleased with the outcome.

I use Staging Artists as my primary stager for my SF listings and they consistently make my client’s properties shine. Amy and her team really understand how to make the most effective use of space, color and lighting. They are flexible, responsive and a trusted partner. I highly recommend them.

Amy West of Staging Artists came to our house for the initial consultation. There is a fee for this consultation and it was very reasonable given the proposal package we received when she was done. We had not decided at that time on whether to have Staging Artists do the work or to take some of the ideas suggested by Amy and attempt to do them ourselves. Amy spent at least an hour and a half with us and we jotted down ideas that she shared with us. Amy provided suggestions for both inside the house and the yard. She took pictures and said she would provide all suggestions in writing for us in the final proposal package in the event that we decided to try to stage ourselves.
Once we received the proposal package (the same day) from Amy we reviewed the suggestions, we reviewed the costs to have Staging Artists do the work for us and compared it against all the stuff we would have to buy or borrow to accomplish the recommendations. It was a hard decision but we decided to attempt the staging ourselves based on the recommendations provided by Amy in the package. We felt we could do the work ourselves but I wouldn’t recommend it for everyone!
We spent a lot of time and had several talented friends come over to help with the decluttering and staging based on the recommendations by Amy. It didn’t hurt that the friends were extremely creative as well. It took a couple weekends of cleaning the house, moving things to storage, and then staging with either purchased items or friends loaned pictures, vases, art, furniture, furniture pillows, carpets, etc. One very talented relative staged the outside with furniture, flowers, plants, and created several distinct «rooms» outside for resting and enjoying the yard and beautifully staged plants and flowers.
Wow! What a difference! Our small team thought the place looked totally different and it looked fantastic. We were ready to put the house on the market.
We lost count of the number of realtors and prospective clients that came through and asked our realtor who staged the house and how beautiful it was. There were so many positive comments and according to our realtor when he asked for any other additional staging ideas or things that could be improved, the answer was always, no, it was perfect the way it is. «It really shows well.»
We believe that the staging and the specifics that Amy suggested directly correlated to the strong interest in the house and the property.
We also wanted to thank our very special and talented friends for helping us implement Amy’s suggestions as well as bring their own creativity into the mix.
We sold our house! We believe that Amy West of Staging Artists deserves so much of the credit. There are no hesitations in highly recommending Staging Artists and Amy West for your home staging needs. Good luck!
