She toured our listing with us (completely COVID compliant with regard to mask, distancing etc.), and was able to envision the property fully decorated with furniture and accessories that would have the greatest appeal to our target market. The hardest part of the whole process was being patient while Sara and her team were hard at work fulfilling the vision! We were all gobsmacked by the first impression that Sara's expertise created when we walked through the front door. The continuity of the design continued from room to room making for the memorable buyer experience that sold the home! The sale would not have happened as quickly as it did without Sara. And by the way, she is a fabulous communicator who is extremely responsive via text/phone/email. Sara's calm demeanor helped to keep us all grounded during our race to get the property on the market. Homescape Designs is our 'go to' staging company. Don't struggle to sell your listing...Call Sara! **Comment from Sara Arlin:** > Thank you so much!

It's such a pleasure partnering with you in the marketing efforts of your listings to attract broad market appeal! You're top of your game and an absolute joy to work with! **★★★★★ — Shyamala Venkateswaran, Oct. 2017** > After interviewing a few designers I decided to hire Sara Arlin to help me design my kitchen. I wanted to remodel my kitchen because it did not work for me. We did not want to expand or completely change the layout. Sara did a great job redesigning the kitchen which gave so much more storage and improved the way the kitchen worked for me. Her ideas were very good, and she also listened to what I needed. She helped me pick the cabinets style, my colors and she accompanied me when I went to the showrooms. Her experience and input gave the design a stunning look. We decided to go with the contractor she referred to, she worked with him to finish the project in a timely manner. She is also very pleasant to work with. It made the whole project less stressful. I would definitely hire her again if I had another project in my house. **Comment from Sara Arlin:** > It was a pleasure partnering with you on this beautiful project! ## Selected projects - [Bathroom Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bathroom-remodel-pj-vj~1398307) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 31 - Description: Mediterranean and Spanish influence style - [Interior Design](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interior-design-pj-vj~866779) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 9 - [Home Staging](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/home-staging-pj-vj~866820) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 20 - [Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~1173261) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/home-stagers/sara-arlin-pfvwus-pf~1451691660) ## Ideabooks - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/85094695/list/wish-list) — 1 idea - [sarlin1's ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/18247966/list/sarlin1-s-ideas) — 5 ideas - [Family Rm](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25361817/list/family-rm) — 1 idea [See all 3 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/sarlin1) ## Community Q&A **Q: Love the floor of the shower, can you share what you used?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for your question.
