Testimonial: Sold in 12 Days for $146,000 Over Asking

We recently received this wonderful testimonial from a happy home staging client in Studio City, CA whose home sold for $146,000 over asking just 12 days after being listed for sale!

We did it right! We give the staging team of Richard Murphy and Roy Martinez at Meridith Baer the highest rating of 5 stars, and when it comes to selling your home, you couldn’t be in more capable or professional hands!

When Richard came on site he confirmed what a group of brokers had encouraged us to do, STAGE! He said ever so delicately and with complete sincerity and appreciation of our distinctive style, that today’s contemporary buyer wants a clean and fresh palette; they want to be able to visualize the spaces with their tastes, their décor and furnishings. Ultimately, we would see the benefit of the Meridith Baer staging in the overwhelming interest and the sale price. Let’s just say, we were absolutely thrilled with the results.

Roy’s is a terrific designer; he created living spaces we never thought imaginable and all with such an artful touch; he gave us the “Wow” factor! So many people were blown away by the “before and after” transformation. Roy created an effect so incredible; suddenly the rooms flowed not only from one to the other, but from the inside to the outdoors. Our only regret was that we didn’t do this years ago!

In sum, our KUDOS to this special team of Richard and Roy for everything they did to maximize the return on the sale of our home. We did it right!

Staged and Sold in Orlando, Florida

Meridith Baer Home recently staged a spectacular estate along the 17th fairway of Isleworth Country Club’s championship golf course in Orlando, Florida!

The home was first listed for sale in January 2017 and remained on the market, unstaged and empty, the next year and a half.

Then, late this past July, we were hired to stage the house.

Just over a month later it was sold.

Over and over, luxury staging by Meridith Baer Home helps homes sell quickly and for higher prices.

Do you have a home that’s been on market too long, or one you’re about to list? We’d love to help.

Premier Estate Properties Testimonial

We recently received this glowing testimonial from Colleen Nouhan at Premier Estate Properties, Florida’s boutique luxury real estate brokerage, about our Senior Designer in Florida, Brianna Smith!

I am writing to highly commend Brianna Smith. Ms. Smith was pivotal in bringing a listing of mine—17789 Fieldbrook Circle West in Boca Raton, Florida—to contract. The property had been on and off the market for more than four years. Ms. Smith deftly persuaded reluctant clients to stage the property and did a beautiful job implementing her design ideas. The home was staged and went under contract in 99 days. I am very grateful to her and to Meridith Baer.
