What they're saying on Yelp

"Besides doing a fantastic job, working with the seller to amend a piece or two, and working in a highly efficient manner, boldRM was integral in working past some very unique obstacles could have been catastrophic. I will be using them again, and highly recommend them"

These guys staged a house for me in Berkeley and they really hit it out of the park. The place was absolutely transformed. They constantly under-promised and over-delivered. I highly recommend them if you're considering staging options.

I found Linda and Winnie through Yelp, and I could not have imagined a better staging experience! Not only did they give me a price significantly lower than what my realtor thought was possible, they staged my San Francisco condo beautifully beyond expectations!
