My husband and I are so thankful for Janice.  We were selling our home and we knew it needed a little professional help.  Our realtor hired Janice to give us some home staging advice for photos and showing.  Not only was Janice extremely kind and down to earth, her sense of style and attention to detail helped us sell our house in just a few days, literally! 

Janice is a true professional at design, staging and color.  Through much experience, she has acquired the skills and vision to look at a room and know how photos of that room will turn out.  On our first consultation, Janice got to know us and our goals for selling our home.  Then, for the best home photos and staging possible, she simply walked through our house, studied each room and told us what she would recommend adding to, moving around or taking away from each room.  She also helped us pick out a beautiful color to paint our house that not only blended all the decor we already had, but gave the house a fresh, vibrant and neutral color for the future buyer to build on.  With thousands and thousands of colors to choose from picking the exact right color can be overwhelming.  It was a relief to get Janice's professional input and we loved how her color suggestion turned out.  

We are truly ecstatic at the final results of Janice's suggestions brought to life.  Thanks to Janice, the staging, photos and video that we used to sell our home truly accentuated our home's best qualities.  Janice was a huge factor in enabling us to sell our home quickly and for top dollar.  Thank you, Janice, we could not be happier with your results!

Janice is warm, flexible, intelligent, kind, down to earth, an expert in her craft, and an all-around class act.  I am so grateful to have met her, and I am so pleased to offer her my highest recommendation!   I listed my home with Tom Rapisarda, and Janice’s home staging services are one of the first-class benefits that Tom offers to his clients.  I have to admit, I had always associated home staging with opulence—basically something reserved for rich folks in wealthy zip codes.  Needless to say, I felt slightly awkward when I found out Janice would be coming to my working-class neighborhood to help me stage my home.  However, after working with Janice, I realize that not only is home staging for everyone, it is essential for all types of seller demographics who wish to make their homes appeal to the standards and broad needs of Bay Area buyers.  In today’s market, many home buyers start their searches online, which means the first impression they get of your home is based solely on the posted pictures of it.  It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand words, but in this case, a picture can literally be worth thousands of dollars, especially if it entices people to tour your home and put in an offer.  I chose to implement all Janice’s ideas and recommendations, and that decision paid off.  The pictures of my home turned out incredible, and my agent received terrific feedback about my home’s appearance.  I was ultimately able to sell my home quickly and for top dollar, which is the end goal for every seller.  Janice is a must for every seller.

Janice was the ultimate professional - she paid attention to every last detail when staging our home, was always punctual, and great at communicating her vision. Her staging was so beautiful that we even discussed not listing our home!  

The cost was more than reasonable for the amount of time and effort she devoted to ensuring our house was perfect.  I am sure her staging contributed to us going to contract so fast and for over asking price.   

We loved her so much that we will definitely be using her in the future to help design our new home.

Center Stage Design is amazing!  Extremely knowledgable, professional and current on design changes and trends.  Janice does not just dabble in interior design.  She is a true professional with the capacity to stage a wide variety of homes.  My particular project was a large home which posed its own particular challenges.  Janice did a fabulous job analyzing the need and creating a beautiful design plan.  The house is gorgeous!  I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Janice Brown of Center Stage Design is a gifted professional stagger and designer. She helped us with a redesign on our dated Tuscan decor.  The new "transitional" flare is beautiful and fitting for our home's architecture and has really brightened  up the environment.  Janice has a unique talent in that she is able to exert her expert vision at the same time that she takes into consideration our preferences. Ours is a work in progress. We have enjoyed and look forward to each step of the way.
