What We Do

First Impression Home Staging understands that buyers are viewing multiple properties prior to making their final decision. We are here to ensure your listing stands out from the others. The furniture and accessories are chosen to take the eye away from any flaws and to enhance the properties features in which buyers will have your listing at the top of their mind. We make it easy for buyers to visualize resting in the master bedroom on a luxury Bed, relaxing in a master tub reading a book with fresh towels on standby, working in an unforgettable home office, working out in a home gym, or having a weekend get together with friends and family on the outdoor sofa and dinning set. These details help buyers choose your listing over the many others in today’s market.

We will visit your home, discuss your budget and time frame, while taking measurements, photos and notes. The home stager will look over the property concentrating on issues such as condition, presence of clutter, cleanliness, traffic flow, furniture placement, light and use of color and space.

First Impression Home Staging transforms an empty property into an appealing home, one in which buyers feel immediately welcome and encouraged to walk through and absorb each room. We carefully select individual furnishings, artwork, foliage and lifestyle accessories specific to the property´s needs.

We provide the option of partial staging in which we use furniture that the owner has in the property. Our designers would rearrange the furniture and add accessories to highlight the room’s assets, maximize space and create good flow.

Meet & Agree
Idea & Concept
Design & Create
Installation

We begin each Home Staging project with an initial complementary visit that provides an objective look at the property. After touring the house, we make detailed suggestions on what changes or repairs may need to be made. In addition, timeline, budget, and priorities are also discussed during this consultation. Once a strategy is agreed upon, we send you a contract in order to reserve your dates. Once we get a signed contract, we begin selecting and reserving furniture and accents for your project.

At First Impression Home Staging we have the unique ability to assess your home environment and deliver a staging ideas and concept that resonates with potential home buyers.

Home staging is about using design appeal for the masses, not just one particular taste or style. Did you know only 10%of buyers can actually visualize a home’s potential?…leaving 90% of buyers thinking…what they see is what they get.

Typically, installation will take place primarily in one day. In larger homes, or if there are any unforeseen delays, two days may be required to complete the installation. We will always communicate with you and/or your real estate agent regarding the progress and if any additional time may be required.

Customer Reviews

First Impression did such a great job staging my condo listing that we had multiple offers after the first open house! Many people commented saying things like, ‘wow the decor looks great’. First Impression brings great ideas and a very positive attitude to the table. First Impression knows what buyers are looking for. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a staging expert.

Excellent Service!! We were selling a brand new home in Cupertino, CA and it needed staging. First Impression Home staging were very prompt and able to provide the service with short notice. We received a lot of nice compliments on the decor and it would not have been possible without their services. The work was conducted in a timely manner which was one of our highest concern and for that we highly recommend them.

Vanessa, Pam and their staging team did an amazing job staging our San Jose home with last minute notice. I was in the process of putting our home for sale and our realtor recommended us to stage the house. I contacted first impression and they gave our home a clean sophisticated style. The home showed really well. I would recommend anyone to contact first impression and their team for a fast and amazing look that sells.

I really LOVE the staging service provided by Vanessa and Pamela from First Impression Home staging. Since my previous staging company in the Mid-Peninsula does not serve the East Bay area, I contacted the home in short notice to stage a big house in Fremont. They are very professional and went all the way to search and purchase the materials they felt perfect fit for the property. I like their selection of style , texture, and color of the furniture and accessories. They put together an excellent finished product in a very limited time.
Thank you Vanessa and Pamela,
