### Reviews

**★★★★★ — bonap, Dec. 2022**

> It was such a pleasure working with the PJ & Company team from start to finish. Patti and Pam took the time to understand how we wanted our home to look and then made it happen. They maintained the right balance of both professional and friend throughout the project and were great at following up with vendors and providing us with updates.  We would highly recommend them!  Paula & Neil

**Comment from PJ and Company Staging and Interior Decorating:**

> It was a pleasure working with you and Neil and we are delighted you like your new decor!

**★★★★★ — HU-387204430, Aug. 2022**

> I feel that the staging can easily get an extra 15-30k depending on the price range. The pricing is reasonable. I have never had one of their staged homes that didn't sell. Many sold before the expiration of removing the contents. The staff was a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — HU-698367784, Feb. 2022**

> Excellent crew staged our home. Patti and staff came in and staged our home. The home looks beautiful, and ready to sell. Thank you

**★★★★★ — HU-222039052, Jan. 2022**

> I am a local Realtor and was struggling with a listing after tenants had moved out. Que PJ & Co stepped in, within 2.5 weeks a house that had been saturated on the market was under contract all due to their beautiful display of the homes spaces! Between their magnificent job showcasing the spaces of the listing and their professionalism, I highly recommend them!

**★★★★★ — HU-590347363, Jan. 2022**

> Patti and her team did an excellent job in staging my house for sale. I had never used a stager before, but would highly recommend their services. They gave my home an individual,  professional touch, so I was not only able to find a buyer at the open house, but was able to get top dollar for my home. I would absolutely recommend that anyone considering selling their home not only use a stager, but use Patti and team who were very professional, and great to work with!

**★★★★★ — Matthew Dalton, Nov. 2021**

> Let me start this review off by noting I had never previously considered using a staging company when listing a home for sale.  I had (falsely) assumed that potential buyers had vision, especially related to use of space and function.  While preparing our unoccupied antique post and beam (circa 1900) Barn House to go to market, it became clear to me and my amazing realtor that this particular home needed not only a more defined vision of the space, but also could use some trendy "modern farmhouse" style.  After researching options for Staging/Interior Decorating one company stood out as the "best of the best", P&J Company.
>
> Patti, Jill and Pam and their team did an amazing job.  The quoting process was simple and straightforward, and surprisingly cheaper than I had envisioned.  They took the time to gather all necessary information/pictures/dimensions to come up with a "winner vision" of space, furniture and decoration to bring out the best aspects of this unique floorplan.  No detail went unnoticed.  From the day of staging to final pickup, the communication and coordination with the team was flawless and extremely responsive.  It is clear that all members of the team take personal pride in their work.
>
> The result - within 27 days of listing and multiple offers the selling process was complete with an accepted offer!  There is no doubt in my mind that the small investment in utilizing Patti and her team delivered a quicker sale at a desirable price point.  I would highly recommend P&J Company and remain forever grateful for their amazing, talented ability to deliver and exceed expectations!

**★★★★★ — HU-12457804, July 2021**

> Patti Stern's Team at PJ and Company Staging has an amazing eye for interior decor. They transformed our 18 Gatewood Avon listing staging with neutral decor with a pop of color and textures so attractive to today's Buyers. Thanks a million Patti and Team we went under contract in 2 days. Cheers to all.

**★★★★★ — HU-296638558, July 2021**

> Patti and her team are amazing at what they do. A true difference maker in any home. Not only will PJ and Company stage your home to the highest standards, but they will consult with you on all options and ideas for your home. Highly recommended!

**★★★★★ — jamiecimino, May 2021**

> Patti and her team went above and beyond staging our home. They gave us amazing recommendations and made the entire staging process quick and easy. They know exactly what makes a home more desirable to buyers. Money very well spent!!!! Hire them today to get the most out of your home sale!

**★★★★★ — HU-672633137, May 2021**

> Patti and her crew Pam, and Jill did a fabulous job transforming our house from the traditional 1990s to classic 2021! It’s amazing how bringing in different styles changed the rooms. Thanks to their staging decor, we were able to sell our house before going on the market, and above asking! The buyers were so intrigued with the furnishings  that they are thinking of buying some of the pieces.
> If you want to get top dollar when selling your house, I highly recommend PJ and Company for your staging and decorating needs. They were exceptional professionals from start to finish!

**★★★★★ — HU-865244013, Feb. 2021**

> My experience with PJ & Co has been an exceedingly pleasant and stress-free experience. The team listened to my needs and personal preferences and incorporated them into a design aesthetic that is authentic and elegant. They are responsive and easy to communicate with. Perfect for busy professionals like myself. Highly recommend!

**Comment from PJ and Company Staging and Interior Decorating:**

> Thank you Chin for the kind words. We loved helping you decorate!

**★★★★★ — HU-846886437, Feb. 2021**

> PJ did a wonderful job staging my new construction home. Did exactly what they promised to do. Also the furniture and accessories were all of new quality and very tastefully arranged. Added value to the home far in excess of what it cost to do. My buyer wanted to buy home with the furniture ! Thank You Patti & team.
