ORIGINS
Meridith Baer Home started by accident!
In 1998, Meridith needed somewhere to store her furniture and 250 potted plants after the house she was renting in West Los Angeles was sold out from under her.
A friend’s home had been sitting on market over a year. Meridith convinced her it could finally sell if instead of sitting empty, Meridith “decorated” it with her things, showing buyers exactly how they might live in the space.
Her friend agreed, Meridith decorated, and the house sold just days later to a Hollywood studio executive for $500,000 over asking!
When word got out, other brokers began asking Meridith to stage their properties. Soon, she needed a van and crew to help her, then a team of assistant interior designers. She rented a small warehouse—the old Tootsie Roll factory in Culver City—for her growing inventory of furnishings. The sign on the door read Meridith Baer & Associates.
Before long, Meridith Baer & Associates owned a fleet of moving vans and was generating more than $1M per year in California. The next few years saw a push into luxury housing markets across the country: Connecticut, then New York, then coastal Florida. Initially shipping furniture back and forth, the company soon opened East Coast and Florida offices and warehouses.
Meanwhile, having outgrown its Culver City headquarters, MB&A moved to a larger space outside downtown Los Angeles. A fleet of newly purchased semi-trucks filled its loading dock as business continued to grow.
In 2012, the company was renamed Meridith Baer Home. A year later, HGTV premiered Staged to Perfection, a docuseries following Meridith and her designers as they staged luxury homes in Los Angeles. Expansion continued on the East Coast into The Hamptons, the West Coast into the San Francisco Bay Area, and internationally, with the company’s first job in Cabo San Lucas.
At present, Los Angeles Business Journal has named Meridith Baer Home one of their fastest growing private companies five years running. Growth has continued nationwide, from colonial mansions in the Mid-Atlantic States to showcase homes in Palm Springs to the company’s first Las Vegas highrises!
In addition to staging and designing homes, MBH has also begun furnishing conventions and other events, and developed a signature line of furniture—The Meridith Baer Home Collection.
Meridith and the company look forward to celebrating their 25th anniversary in 2023.
I cannot find the words to express my gratitude for the outstanding job you did staging my listing... 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!
I can’t tell you how many compliments were given to the look of the house and the staging – it felt so welcoming to everyone. Offers were due to me yesterday and we went over 19 offers!!
The house sold with multiple offers within the first week. I have had dozens (literally) of agents ask who did the fab staging.
Phenomenal company. My client couldn’t believe the transformation. We had offers before the first open house and were in escrow within a week. Thanks, Meridith Baer!
It was a thrilling transformation. Even my wife when shown my iPhone photos couldn’t believe it was the same space. Can't wait for the seller to see the change. Photography today, which now, will look truly fantastic! Thank you!
We have not had a quality staging firm in South Florida until Meridith Baer Home came on the scene. The end result is a more salable luxury home asset, positioned to sell at top dollar. I could not recommend Meridith Baer more highly.
I don’t think any other staging company can come close to your company and the incredible attention to detail that makes all the difference in how the property is presented. Congratulations and well done!
Just a quick note to let you know how thrilled we were with the staging for this property! We are getting a huge amount of activity and interest and I expect not only multiple offers but a final sales price way above list. It’s great working with you!
Your fine tuned eye with amazing staging gave my listing character and charm unrivaled with any property in the area! You managed to create a property where the prospective buyers were captivated during showings, some did not want to leave! Thank you for a job well done!
