Staged and Sold for $725,000 Over Asking: A Compass Testimonial

Meridith Baer Home continues our spectacular run of luxury staging success stories with this Tudor Revival in Los Angeles’ Holmby Hills: Receiving 22 offers in 10 days, it ultimately sold for a stunning $725,000 over asking!

Our client was so thrilled, he wrote our Relationship Manager, Deb, this glowing testimonial:

I cannot find the words to express my gratitude to you, John [designer] and Meridith Baer Home for the outstanding job you did staging my listing in Little Holmby… With your amazing work, I garnered 22 offers, sold the house for $725,000 over the asking price and closed in less than 30 days.

Every single buyer and agent who toured the home commented on the quality and sophistication of the décor. I have organized the staging of many homes over the years but I have never been prouder of how a house has turned out. John’s impeccable style and attention to detail plus your devotion to the job, personally showing up to help the install after a team member went down ill, reaffirmed for me why MBH has such a stellar reputation.

Thank you for your persistence in securing our first job together and I promise you there will be many more to come!

Thank you, James, and congratulations Deb, John, and crew!READ MORE

Sold for $61.5 Million: Meridith Baer Home Staged Southern California’s Priciest Home Sale This Year

The historic Bel Air estate of hotel magnate, philanthropist, and sportsman W. Barron Hilton just sold for $61.5 million, staged by Meridith Baer Home!

The sale is Southern California’s priciest so far this year.

The 15,000 square foot mansion was built in 1936 by Paul R. Williams, a pioneering architect with a list of legendary clients including Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and Bill “Bojangles” Robinson.

Paul R. Williams Masterpiece

Boasting 13 bedrooms and several living and entertaining spaces, the house’s storied highlight may be its executive office, with its desk bought by Conrad N. Hilton and passed down the family’s generations.

Paul R. Williams Masterpiece

We styled the property with grand transitional elegance, honoring its classic English Georgian architecture while subtly updating its interiors with contemporary poise.

Rising to the challenge of furnishing so palatial a space, we aimed to show upmarket buyers how they might live in each room with both comfort and sophistication.
