DreamHome Staging & ReDesign

DreamHome Staging has staged two properties for me and I am delighted with the results. It is my firm belief staging a property to sell is an extremely wise investment. Offers exceeded my expectations while offering the buyer a glimpse into what could be..... I would recommend Nichol and her associates with no hesitation.

Nichol is the best! I have used other staging companies in the past but Nichol and Juan exceeded our expectations. I would recommend them without any hesitation. They even advised us on simple changes we could make in terms of paint colors etc to maximize the potential of the property.

If you want an honest, professional, affordable and experienced home stager I HIGHLY recommend Dream Homes. Never having had a home staged before I honestly thought it was going to cost a fortune, be a waste of money and I honestly thought I could do it myself. Oh how wrong I was on all accounts. It was surprisingly affordable and i learned quickly that staging is an art form that requires a professional. Dream Homes staged my 3700 sqft home beautifully in a contemporary, elegant and modern manner. My house looked like a magazine spread! I even had a few people comment that it looked like Joanne Gaines from HGTV’s hit show Fixer Upper had done the decorating. It was so nice that in fact the buyers asked if they could have all the furniture as part of the home purchase! We could never have achieved our asking price had we not had it staged so beautifully. I must also mention how flexible Nicole and her team were. We had several changes to our date and time which they graciously accommodated. Thank You Dream Homes!

DreamHome Staging did a fantastic job staging my home, and with a competitive contract term and rates. The design was spot on and the customer service left nothing to be desired. I would highly recommend them to anyone trying to maximize their sale price.

We retained Nichol to stage our property when we listed it for sale. She made a great impression, had samples of her previous work, and was very descriptive in articulating her ideas for staging our property. Monterey California is not exactly known for reasonable prices however Nichol was more than competitive in her bid. She photographed our property and made notes before talking to us about her design concepts. Our property had new paint and flooring, otherwise it was completely empty. We live on the East Coast and were in California only for a few days before heading back; therefore we were trusting Nichol to do the job without any oversight from us. The results were fantastic! In addition to staging our property Nichol provided professional quality photographs for both us and our Realtor. Receiving these photographs validated our decision to have Nichol stage our property. She used a theme that absolutely fit our property and highlighted the features that we felt were important to potential buyers. We could see for ourselves how she had used her furnishings to bring out the character of our property. Our Realtor told us that agents and potential buyers alike had complemented the job Nichol had done. A week prior to our contract ending Nichol contacted us and indicated that if we wished to extend our contract (our property was still on the market) she would do so at a daily rate. All in all, Nichol provided great service at a very reasonable cost. We are highly satisfied with her performance and would recommend her without hesitation.

When my husband and I decided to sell our very small first home so we could purchase a larger home I was about 7 months pregnant with our first child. After several months of searching for a home, while slowly packing up our house and preparing it for baby’s arrival we finally decided to take the leap and put our house up on the market. By this time our son was 3 months old, and our house was a complete disaster. It seriously looked like something out of the hoarders TV show. We had (somehow) fit myself and my husband, a 3 month old baby, 3 cats and a dog in a 780 sq ft house. Dare I mention that my husband and I are both avid readers and have hundreds of books, we literally lined the walls of our little house with books. 5 days before our open house we had the majority of our items packed up and in a storage unit but my house still looked like a grungy mess and between work, a 3 month old, house hunting, packing and trying to clean and get ready for an open house (in 5 days!!!!) I was at my wits end. I called Nichol for help, she came over, took one look around rolled up her sleeves and dived in. She helped me pack up about half of the stuff I still had in the house (that I thought I had pared down sufficiently) and she moved the remaining items around in our rooms and on our shelves. Nichol instructed me about appealing to the masses in terms of decoration (I am very eclectic in my style and LOVE color) and she then brought in a few items from her own home and made my tiny little house look like a showcase! I couldn’t believe my eyes! She also gave me cleaning tips that made my house absolutely gleam. The day my realtor’s photographer came to take photos for the website we had our first offer (all cash) from someone just passing by. After our open house we had 7 offers on our little house! I just could not believe it! I know that there would be no way we could ever have received so many offers or sold our house for so much money without Nichol’s instructions and staging.
