What Our Clients Are Saying…

 

"Thank you so much for all that you have done for us. We appreciate your expert guidance, support, and outstanding service in helping us stage our house for sale … you have been wonderful to work with. Our Realtor walked through the house and said 'Wow!' over and over - and this is from a guy who doesn't impress easily. He was just speechless."
−− Jane Sharp, Damascus, OR

"Excellent experience. Truly a first class professional."
−− Milan Cole, Broker ~ JMA Properties LLC, Portland OR

"We use Room Solutions Staging to stage our remodeled homes because of their great service, expertise and their incredible results. Prospective buyers, their agents, and everyone else raves about their designs. We sell our homes quickly, thanks in large part to Room Solutions Staging."
−− Frank Halpin, Principal ~ Ruby Northwest Design & Remodeling, Portland OR

"We chose to stage our home in hopes that it would sell quickly because with two small children it is very difficult to keep the house looking presentable at all times. We went with Maureen Bray from Room Solutions. I thought our house looked pretty good beforehand, but after following all of Maureen's suggestions our house looked absolutely stunning! We had an offer 5 days after we put it on the market! When we sell again we'll be sure to come back to Room Solutions for Maureen's expert advice."
−− Sarah Lausevic, Hillsboro OR

"Thanks Maureen! Two weeks on the market, four showings, and an offer accepted. You were wonderful!"
−− Vic and Stefanie Cao, Portland OR

"Thank you for the excellent staging. Please include us in your next testimonial. We had incredibly positive comments on your staging and we feel your work was integral to the successful sale."
−− John & Priscilla DeCosta ~ Principal Brokers, Keller Williams, Portland OR

"Maureen came to my home to help with furniture arranging and staging (redesign). She had great ideas; rearranging & changing just a few things made a tremendous difference. Maureen has a great eye and was wonderful to work with. Things look so much better now; I'd highly recommend Room Solutions to anyone who is looking to freshen up their decor or staging a home for sale."
−− Lauri Dixon, Portland OR

"I appreciate your expert advice on color choices coupled with all the staging work. I'd suggested to my sellers that changing several of these items would improve buyer perception, but they were reluctant to listen. Maureen, you must have a way with words…they listened to you. Thanks so much! My sellers' home looks like a showpiece, much more warm and presentable. Your work is very professional, and the photos were a big help as well. I'd certainly recommend Room Solutions Staging again!"
−− David Somerville, PC ~ Prudential NW Properties, Portland OR

"Maureen was absolutely fabulous. She gave me so many ideas and was incredibly positive as my 1970's house gets a new face. She is an incredible resource, and she was very willing to work around my schedule. I highly, highly recommend her. She deserves an 'A+' rating."
−− Glenda Douglass, Lake Oswego OR

"Thanks again for your beautiful work. As it turns out the very first people that walked into our house and made an offer are the ones who are buying the house…largely attributable to your assistance!"
−− Dana Lloyd, Beaverton OR

"Maureen provided a list of suggested cosmetic improvements for the house which were relatively quick, easy, and inexpensive. After we completed those improvements (which made a huge difference on their own) she came back and did the staging. I was amazed at how transformed it was! This house looked drab before and had been an abused rental, so we were all very sick of dealing with it. My 7-year-old stepson would complain non-stop every time we had to go over there. As soon as he saw it staged he said, "I don't want to leave" and "I think we should just move in here." What a change! A friend who'd said that she didn't think staging would make much difference in getting the house sold saw the amazing photos (which Maureen provided as part of her home staging service) and said "That CAN'T be the same house! It's as good as sold!" Another family member who'd helped get the place fixed up said after seeing the photos, "Wow! Is that really the same house!?" So it's unanimous! The house looks better than any of us ever could have imagined. And it's not just that the stuff in it is nice. She really brought out the best in the house. I had no idea it could look so great!"
−− Cami Idzerda, Hillsboro OR

"You were fantastic - thank you! I'm sure we will do more business in the future."
−− Stephen FitzMaurice ~ Realtor, USMetro Realty, Portland

"I must say we have been looking at homes since the spring of this year and you are the most professional designer that we have come across. The home is beautifully done and you have exquisite taste."
−− Susan Ruff, Portland OR

"The condo had been on the market for over a year. The best feature of this condo was the view of Mt. Hood, but there was a big empty living space with stark white walls. Maureen first helped with home staging advice for neutral wall paint, a few light fixtures, followed by staging of some key rooms. The difference was phenomenal! We put this condo on the market at a less optimum time of year and had an accepted offer in about a month! I truly believe that Maureen's advice and home staging helped close the sale on this property. She was wonderful to work with; she knew exactly which features to emphasize and she also understood the demographic of the potential buyer and she staged accordingly."
−− Rhonda Bakke, Broker, John Ludlow Realty, Inc., Wilsonville OR

"Thanks, Maureen, for all your expert advice and creative design. It really made all the difference in being able to sell my parents' home so quickly!"
−− Marian McAndie, Portland OR

−− Leon Simms Broker, Windermere/Bridgeport Realty Group, Lake Oswego OR

"The home you staged for my client sold in only 3 weeks, even though other homes with the same floor plan in this neighborhood remain unsold. In today's market that's an excellent outcome and great return on my client's investment in staging."
−− Lee-Pin Chu, Broker ~ Robert Deigert Real Estate, Portland OR

"I am most impressed. You've made me a believer in home staging…you are a terrific stager."
−− Dede DeJager ~ Broker, Windermere/Cronin & Caplan Realty Group, Portland OR

"You and your amazing team did it again! My client's condo sat vacant on the market for 15 months. Each month there was cash out for the mortgage, HOA dues, taxes, utilities & insurance. Then you staged it and we had a sale in less than a month. Your "MAGIC" worked – my clients and I feel you were instrumental in this sale and we thank you very much!"

−− Bob Hoyt, GRI ~ Broker/Owner, Hoyt Realty, Portland OR

"Your home staging advice is top notch. With your eye for design and knowledge of color you make the most basic home look outstanding.

I enthusiastically recommend your service."
