Limelight Home Staging Testimonials
Thank you so much for your recent staging on my Carmel listing. This was a home that had a difficult floor plan--difficult to visualize. I had requested another staging company when I first took the listing and the sellers turned them down as being too expensive. You were recommended to me by an agent/friend of mine from another company. You were extremely reasonable in asking price and performed the work almost immediately. As it turned out we got an offer with a 10 day close of escrow. Thank you so much. I will definitely use your services again.

I became the trustee for my uncle's estate and responsible for selling two small homes in Monterey. I selected Limelight Home Staging to stage the properties for two key reasons, they offered the quality I sought at affordable prices. The first house was on the market for just under one week and I received four offers. My agent reported receiving extremely positive comments from prospective buyers concerning the staging during the open house. Within one week the house was in escrow.
The second house never reached the market because my back-up buyer from the first house previewed the second house just after it was staged and made an offer on it that day. I firmly believe that the staging sold the homes since staging made the rooms in both homes appear larger than if they were unfurnished. The staging also made the properties look more inviting.
I'm very pleased with the quick sale of both houses. I certainly selected the right company for my staging needs. I highly recommend Limelight Home Staging for your next staging project.

When my wife and I decided to open an art gallery on Ocean Avenue in beautiful Carmel-By-The-Sea, we wanted it to be different than any other gallery in many ways. One difference is that we wanted to provide a lot of comfortable seating for people and offer them coffee, tea and spring water. We wanted people to be able to see any piece of art while sitting, relaxing and enjoying a beverage. We had the vision but were not sure how to achieve it. We started searching for companies but only found low-end furniture rental companies. Then we found Limelight Home Staging! We called and spoke with Sarah and she offered all the services we needed. She came out, talked with us about our vision, took several pictures, worked up a design and made a recommendation that we gladly accepted. The result...we have a BEAUTIFULLY furnished gallery that has been so well received. Thanks to Sarah and Limelight Home Staging our gallery is inviting and comfortable and has been dubbed "The New Heart of Carmel" by Carmel Magazine. We are grateful to Sarah for not only coming up with a fabulous design and perfect furnishings but also for getting everything done so quickly so that we were ready for our opening. We highly recommend Limelight Home Staging to anyone who needs this type of service.

My father's house needed to be sold as quickly as possible in a bad market. Limelight Home Staging was referred to me by real estate agent Brian Tanger and once I met Sarah and saw what she had done in the past, I felt very comfortable with her and confident in her abilities.
Limelight Home Staging did a great job staging, especially working with a smaller budget. Sarah also went above and beyond the contract to help us in other ways.
The end result was that the house sold the FIRST DAY the buyer saw the virtual tour on
the internet! I highly recommend Limelight Home Staging's services and cannot thank Sarah enough.
Again, my sincere thanks to Limelight Home Staging for all of your help - and on such short notice.

Limelight Staging did an exceptional job staging my property in Monterey. Prior to having it staged, the house was on the market for six months with no offers. I hired Limelight Staging to help get my house sold. Sarah, the owner of Limelight Home Staging, was professional from beginning to end. She presented an estimate, a written professional proposal and the price was very reasonable. She staged the property beyond beautifully. The staging exceeded my expectations. It was elegant when completed. Working with Sarah was easy, smooth and very professional. Soon after staging, the property received and offer and we sold fast with a 30 day escrow. Everyone who came to see the property commented on how beautiful it looked. I am very, very happy with my experience with Limelight Home Staging. I can highly recommend and will recommend Limelight Home Staging to anyone who needs staging in the future.

Dear Sarah,
I have finally settled into my place down in San Diego and I love it! As I reflect on the move, I am so thankful that I was able to sell my condo quickly so I could focus on my new job and life down in Southern California. Sarah, right from the start, you asked me several questions about what I wanted my staged home to look like. Once we both agreed upon a staging plan, you organized a list of everything that was needed and even delivered the necessary items to my house. This helped calm the stress of getting a place ready to sell. I felt that you were so reliable and gave 150% as you paid attention to every detail. Not only was your creation fabulous, but your natural design ability provided a welcoming and warm atmosphere for potential buyers to view. It was actually hard to decide to still sell the condo because I loved the transformation so much! Within 2 weeks, 2 offers came in when other homes were sitting on the market for months. My condo sold about 2 weeks before I was scheduled to move to San Diego. The bonus was having the buyer love the staging so much that they requested some of the items be included in the sale! Thanks again Sarah for the personalized care and expert staging that you created. I had a specific time frame (6 weeks) for selling my condo in this challenging market and you helped make it happen. I am a very happy and satisfied client!

Dear Sarah,
As a full service Realtor, and especially a listing agent, I would really like to thank you for the professional manner in which you have staged and presented the homes I have listed using your services. I have worked with many staging companies in the past, and do my own staging as well, yet I was very impressed with the way you are able to transform ordinary spaces. Your design ideas are fresh, clean, and uncluttered. I like to represent the properties I sell in their best light, enabling the buyer to see the optimum value of that property. I believe this is what you bring to each and every property you stage. You are also very organized and professional, not only in the way you present yourself and in your communication skills, but also in your execution of services needed specifically and uniquely to each property. I place high value in using staging on every property I represent. Because of holding to that high standard, I now have a reputation for offering properties in their finest capacity. Thank you for being a part of the success story for me and for all my clients in their Real Estate transactions!

Sarah,
The staging looks great! Thank you for all your hard work. The fact that you had the "ASP" designation was a big plus for me in making the decision to use Limelight Home Staging to meet my clients staging needs. Your consultation was very helpful to all parties included. It helped us determine how we wanted to stage the house and what type of look we wanted to achieve. In the end, I knew your work had been successful for two reasons: One, the house sold within 3 days of being listed and two, the buyers were very interested in all the furniture that you had used to achieve the look.
Thanks again for all your help.

My condo under Sarah Meads' inspiring staging ability was transformed from an average property on the market to an eye opening, well lit, beautifully arranged magnet for home buyers. My Realtor heard comments from perspective buyers such as, "I feel like I could just hang my clothes in the closet and I am home." That is how inviting and comfortable my condo looked and felt after Sarah staged it. At a time when properties were staying on the market for months, my staged condo had competing offers in a week! We sold soon after for our asking price. I believe that would have been impossible had Sarah not staged our property.

We used Limelight Home Staging to help sell our house of seven years. Sarah Meads was extremely thorough in her design, meticulously documenting the new layout. Our home looked amazing when she was done, and we received an offer by the end of the second week. Which is very unusual in this market. Thank you, Sarah!

I am so happy I had Sarah Meads stage my daughters wedding. Everything turned out absolutely gorgeous! The dance floor, guest tables, center pieces, head table and cake table were exquisite. It was wonderful to work closely with such a professional. Sarah definitely made a huge event look very classy!

Sarah Meads with Limelight Home Staging was very responsive to my request for a staging bid on my Los Gatos listing that I was preparing for market. When she went to the home to bid the job it was full of tradespeople getting it repaired and painted. Undaunted she measured the rooms and gave suggestions to stage and market the home effectively. She wasn't the least expensive bid received but you know the old axiom of "You get what you pay for", she was worth every penny! She was professional, accommodating and worked around a schedule that was tight at best. I am truly grateful for her efforts and I can honestly say that her staging really made the home come alive!
