Testimonials
“Before I hired Urban Revival, I thought staging was a gimmicky thing to do. I finally “relented” when my empty FSBO home was stalling and a good friend recommended Annie and Helena. The price was right and I trusted my friend's judgment. Well, I should have done this about 3 months sooner. (Then it would have paid for itself.) Finances are one point, but there’s also the aesthetics.
The Wow! I felt when I first walked into the house after they’d set things up still is fresh in my mind several months later. It wasn't like so many other stagings I’d seen — plain furniture and cliché knick-knacks here and there to fill up empty space. What Annie and Helena did was a Statement, and a very classy one. Classy, but at the same time comfortable, not sterile. The house was completely transformed. People who had seen the Before, and now the After, uniformly commented on how much easier it was for them to picture their own furniture there.
In a way I feel silly I didn't stage sooner, but the reality is that not all staging is classy. Urban Revival brings a whole new ethos and aesthetic to this in my opinion. It’s also worth a lot to me that Annie, Helena and their staff are genuinely kind and fun people. Selling a house can be a hassle, but meeting people like them brought pleasure to the experience.”

"Annie Wheeler and Helena Johnson with Urban Revival did a fabulous job of staging a home I had listed for sale, in fact, such a good job that the Buyer’s agent told me it made all the difference when his client made her final decision. She had looked at the home prior to staging and couldn’t quite get a feel for how it could work for her, then saw it again after staging, and made an offer! Great job."
Thanks!

"As a 12- year professional of the real estate industry I know first-and the value of staging before putting a home on the market. Annie and Helena are my "go to" when it comes to staging my listings. They are flexible, accommodating and they will not only follow through but surpass my expectations! When buyers walk through the homes they stage they are blown away and most of my listings sell within one week. Urban revival is well worth the investment."

"Annie and Helena, thank you so much for the staging of the house. I have heard back from family and friends on how awesome the house looks, and then they ask me when we got different furniture. The house went under contract the first day on the market for full asking price; I believe in part to your artistic endeavor."
Thanks so much!
