One Two Six Design

I used One Two Six to stage a condo I was selling and I do believe it helped sell my home because I believe many buyers do not have an imagination to visualize a home’s potential with no furniture. I think they did a good job staging, they knew their business, however, a few issues as follows:
– A bit unorganized, original person could not make appointment and sent someone else last minute that wasn’t prepared.
– I was told I would be advised of the design before but I wasn’t, it wasn’t what I expected but it looked nice.
– They also notified me prior that I had not paid and they would not stage without payment, however, I had paid right away and they had already cashed my check, they identified the error.
– The furniture used in staging while visually appealing had loose chair legs and the couch leg was broken which I advised them same day they staged and they did offer to fix. People touring a home often sit and a few times I checked on the home to find the leg collapsed, kind of dangerous and this shouldn’t happen.
– The movers did not clean up after staging nor did they clean after removing the furniture. They did fill in most of the holes in the walls from pictures, which I appreciated, however, scraped some areas of walls and left pencil marks on the newly painted walls. Holes I expected but scrapes and pencil marks I did not.
I would recommend but suggest being there when they stage and when they tear down to ensure furniture is in good condition when it arrives and is clean when they leave.
They did apologize at one point and sent me a coffee gift card, however, that didn’t really make up for the time it took out of my days to have to clean up and reset the couch leg on several occasions that was loose after potential buyers visited.
Nice job staging though and they were pleasant to deal with.

I hired One Two Six to have my condo staged in May and it looked so good I would have bought my own place. The open house was on May 3, the offers were reviewed on May 12 and the property was into escrow by the first week of June at a very good offer.

My home just sold and I have no doubt that the staging by One Two Six was key in the process. I had moved out of my condo so had to rely on pictures and my realtors assessment. She received rave reviews on the appearance and we had multiple offers after just one weekend open house. I wanted something clean and simple that would speak to anyone and they delivered. The price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend this company.

Vivian and Stefani are such professionals. I have staged over a dozen homes with them this year alone! Vivian always takes copious notes when we do our initial walk through at the clients house. She is always pleasant and professional. Her team is on time and very flexible to work with. It is photo ready. My listings look sophisticated, cheerful and updated after her team completes the stage. If I should require something additional, they are always responsive and helpful. My listings always sell within 10 days and the staging is the most important piece, which contributes to a quick sale. Vivian’s fees are extremely fair and she will work with my clients if there is a special request to do so. I look forward to working with them in 2015! Thanks for all of your hard work.

As a seasoned real estate professional, this team is the truly great in staging a home to bring out it’s best features, so my sellers always realize the highest sales price in the shortest amount of time. Vivian’s skills as a designer is a fantastic consultant and she really compliment any home to make it sparkle! Truly the best!

Got this stager recommended by my real estate agent. Good sense, fast delivery/​removal, high quality of staging. Price is reasonable and value is over what I paid for. Will recommend to others.

Our Realtor strongly endorsed One Two Six Design to do the staging for our home about to be listed for sale. The owner, Vivian, spent barely 20 minutes at our home on two quick visits. Vivian asked no questions, wrote no notes and took not a single photo of our home. One week later her team arrived. No sign of Vivian. Her team proceeded to distribute a motley assortment of mismatched furniture and cheap looking accessories. It looked to us as if they had grabbed 5 beds, 3 sofas and some tables almost at random from their warehouse along with a most unappealing set of art prints and cheap looking bowls, vases etc. The careless staging — with no thought given to the space or to colors — actually made our home look unattractive. We were stunned when we saw the result. Sad to say it truly looked horrible. We still have the photos of this ‘Design Not.’ Our Realtor was embarrassed and also upset at the result. Not one word of apology to us from Vivian or anyone at One Two Six Design or offer to come back and redo the staging. We had no choice but to hire another stager and delay putting our home on the market. In asking around we learned too late for us that One Two Six Design has a mixed track record. On some projects Vivian and her team execute very well but on others they mismanage the process with disastrous results for the client. Based on our own costly experience, we suggest you use One Two Six Design only with great caution and be prepared to be let down and disappointed.

Vivian and her team at One Two Six Design are top notch! Her aesthetic is clean and bright, and she made our condo look even more open and spacious.
Their pricing was right on target for the other quotes I received, and they were able to schedule set-​up and drop-​off appointments that fit my listing schedule perfectly. Additionally, their delivery staff was courteous and careful not to scuff my newly-​repainted walls.
I received so many compliments on the furniture and decorations that I can say without question that One Two Six Design helped my property receive more interest and sell more quickly. I would highly and without reservation recommend their services!

Had to find a staging company in quite short notice, called One Two Six and Stephanie was very helpful and the quote was quite reasonable. We tried to accommodate the consultant’s schedule when they said the owner was going to be out of town and had to change dates. Hence I was expecting the consultation to be with the owner but it turned out to be some other designers. When the sellers wanted some items of the staging changed, they said they would prefer not. This is quite ridiculous as it is stated clearly on the contract that up to 3 items could be changed. Had to postpone the appointment with photographer and open house dates due to the delay with switching furniture. The designer was obviously not professional enough: how can you go to a consultation without even bringing any photos or album to show the clients? This is probably the reason why the design didn’t click with my clients and lead to all the changes and hassle.

Will never do business again
Makes false promises, will not deliver, misleading.
Vivian promised that she will specifically order furniture for my project and calls me 1 week before assignment date to state she cannot get the items and I am free to choose any other company. It would have been much better if I did not trust her and freak out while I had 1000 other important things to take care of.
DO NOT RELY ON HER

Having a dependable and professional stager before the listing goes on the market is a critical success factor. There is no room for error when it’s 2 days before the open house and one day before the virtual tour photography takes place. One Two Six Design is well organized with Steffani in the office getting the logistics planned, Vivian out meeting with clients, and the designers onsite on staging day.
One Two Six Design is crisp, colorful, and attentive to details. Love how you don’t just put a plastic centerpiece on the dining room table but have a nice table settings.
You are appreciated!

One Two Six Design’s prompt communication helped make this whole process easier than I thought it’d be. Even for the consultation, Vivian showed up on time and took careful notes and lots of pictures.
As you can see in my uploaded photos, One Two Six did a fantastic job staging my condo. I believe it helped potential buyers submit offers that was significantly higher than the listing price.
My wife and I were so happy w/​their work, that we will be hiring them for some interior design help in our new house.

One Two Six Design is absolutely amazing. They stage all of my listings which always look GREAT, the stagers show up on time, clean up afterwards, and are careful with the houses. They also match difficult colors such as unusual tiles, paint colors, etc. and they fill odd spaces well like a modern house I just sold with a long 8-​foot wide hallway. Their prices are fair and Vivian is very friendly with clients. Many other top producers in my office use them as well and I’ve never heard a negative comment. They make me look good to my clients, are great to work with, and I would give them six stars if I could.

OneTwoSix Design/​Stage Company has great service and beautiful design with high quality furniture. Their placement of staging really enhanced the presentation of the properties. They have always helped me with my listings of moderate residences to luxury homes in South Bay area such as Cupertino, Sunnyale, Saratoga, Los Altos&Los Altos Hills and Palo Alto, etc! Very accommodating and very reasonable pricing even during busy seasons. Highly recommended! Vivian and Steffani are the best! We always use them for staging our listings.

We hired one two six design to stage our house after walking through an open house of another house they had staged. They did a beautiful job tranforming our home at a reasonable price. We will definitely use them again in the future.

By far the most professional staging company in today’s market! We have used them to stage 100+ homes and will continue to use them! Not sure what Kyla is talking about since they do NOT open their warehouse to their clients. There is no need to visit their warehouse since they are so professional and bring several possibilities and combinations to each of the homes they stage. That way, we can pick the combinations on-​site! Convenience for us and them — a win-​win situation! Anyone that has the time to go to their warehouse to pick items clearly has too much time on their hands and obviously doesn’t leave the work up to the professionals. Their selection is plentiful and definitely suits the tastes of today’s buyers! Their staff are also very professional and EXTREMELY efficient! I have never seen homes stage at a quicker pace!

Hired them for a stage and had to go to their warehouse/​office once to change some artwork. What a horrible representation of the company! The warehouse was filthy, and the front office was more like a hangout place for the workers.
It was very hard to find the kind of art I was looking for… though nothing too specific. I don’t think they have proper records of their inventory either as they could not find a lot of stuff and had too much broken accessories lying everywhere.
Not too professional either. Will switch to some other staging professional for my next listing.

OneTwoSix Design was recommended by our realtor and what a difference they made for our recent home sale!
We were selling our parents home which was built in 1959. We were really concerned about competing against more contemporary houses and those with major upgrades. We had heard many discussions about home «staging» and just weren’t sure about its value. We had a limited budget on making upgrades and debated on whether our dollars were better spent on making upgrades rather than the staging.
Ultimately we opted on foregoing some of the major upgrades like redoing the kitchen and bathrooms and hoped that the staging would compensate for the «less than modern» designs.
Vivian, our consultant from OneTwoSix came out and really listened to our concerns and goals. She quickly surveyed the house and not only laid out a suggested furniture and decoration staging plan, but she also made recommendations on paint, flooring treatments, window treatments, and other design elements.
With their help, the result was a home we barely recognized as our own. It was contemporary, bright, and appealing to all types of buyers. Our realtors were astonished at what we were able to accomplish with her guidance.
But the real proof of their design help was once the house went on the market. The open houses were full of people that saw the pictures online and were very impressed. We had people lined up out the door waiting to get in to look at the house. In 2 weeks, we got an offer at our full asking price! I am completely convinced that the staging played a huge role in our success.
I would recommend OneTwoSix Designs to anybody selling a home today in this challenging market of depressed values. It’s a small investment to make compared to other things you could spend your dollars on.

We hired one two six design to stage our house recently after interviewing 3 stagers.
Best rates along with best service. As an added bonus they took pictures and also video for the website, They also used nice furniture for the staging. The people were very sweet and polite. Highly recommended.

I have used OneTwoSix Design many times and highly recommend their services! I get a lot of positive response from buyers/​sellers on my listings that they stage. I wish I had some before and after pics that I can share! They are professional, flexible and fun to work with! Their designs are clean & simple and very neutral so it appeals to everyone! I highly recommend their services!
