Raghda Bakir, Staging Works, provides exceptional service to my business and my clients. She has an incredible eye for creativity that is balanced with detail. I have confidence that all my listings will sell because of her touch. I really don’t know how I could function in business without her.

In Dec 2009 we had our vacant town home staged by Raghda Bakir. It had been on the market for 6 months. We had many people looking at it, often more than once, but no offers. Our realtor suggested staging. We agreed but weren't sure it would help. The town home had a great floor plan and was in pristine condition. To our surprise and delight, the first couple to look at it after the staging made us an offer that they delivered on Christmas Eve.


Thanks for the great job.

Dear Raghda:

We thought our house was presentable “As-Is” but your expertise definitely opened our eyes to a new way of viewing things. Minimalists at heart, we initially felt a little uncertain with the new layout but that quickly went away. You turned a sterile, museum-like home into an inviting and warm environment. My friends were in awe and couldn’t believe it was the same house. We all love it. We had many showings in the first couple of days which resulted in multiple offers. We ended up accepting an offer that was made on the first day of showing. Now we are looking for another home and will definitely use this experience to layout our next home. Thank you so much for your help.

Sincerely,

Lyly Pham and Jubal Slayer

Raghda,

In the first week of our house being on the market, we had 5 showings, 2 offers and 1 contract, the contract was from the first individual that saw our home before staging and didn’t like it. Then she saw it on HAR after it was staged, came back and wrote an offer. The contract was accepted and my house sold in record time all because of your professional talent and a great eye for detail.

You called yourself the “Bad Cop” I tended to agree NOT ANYMORE. Thank you so much for the wonderful transformation. I would highly recommend your services to anyone that needs assistance in decorating their home.

Truly Grateful

Raghda Bakir did a wonderful job staging our former home! After only 5 days on the market, we received our first offer. Within 3 weeks, our house was sold. Raghda brought us her impeccable taste, professionalism and list of trusted contractors. Her fee was well worth it and should be considered an investment with a guaranteed return. We would highly recommend her services.

The current housing market has been slow and the home sales have been dropping significantly. Every seller is stressing out when their house will sell and some of them keep reducing the asking price few times before having an offer. We can't believe our house SOLD within TEN days with multiple offers. It is hard to believe, but it happened to us. The magic is your staging to our house. You are not only an excellent designer and also very affordable. You always think of the best interest of your clients and you are very professional. We couldn't believe our eyes when we walked in to our house after your staging. The only thing we would say "Wow!" and we wanted to show off our house to anyone immediately because it was so beautiful. But the most important thing is that we could sell our house not only in less than 10 days but with full asking price and multiple offers. We are so amazed by your staging and highly recommend to any homeowners. You are the best!!

Thank you so much for a great job.

Raghda,

Thank you so much for your great work in staging our home!
I have to admit that at first I was skeptical as to the value of Staging, but once I relaxed and allow you to do your magic, it turned out to be the best choice we could have ever made.
Homes in our neighborhood were on the market an average of 90+ days, and after working with you, we got a list price offer after only 2 weeks! Our home showed its best with your help.

We are very pleased with the process, and your thorough communication from start to finish was really appreciated. You even went the extra mile for us a few times on some small issues, and you taking care of that made our experience even greater.

Thank you for all you have done!

Kevin and Heather Harbuck

Thanks again Raghda!

Heather

Our house was a big, white and a plain place before Raghda came to visit us. She walked around the house, and in few minutes she knew exactly what she was going to do to turn our white whale into a model home.

Raghda came again, bringing all sorts of decorations, drapery, plants, and unimaginable gadgets, and then proceeded to put everything in the right place.

I was out of town when this happened and my kids kept telling me, “You won’t believe what Raghda did”. When I came back from my trip and saw the house…. I just wanted to give her a big hug and many thanks: The house was indeed gorgeous! Exotic decorations, wonderful color combinations, every detail was just perfect.

Raghda, you’re the best!!!!

Raghda Bakir is AMAZING!! I met Raghda through a mutual friend when I was interested in making some major changes to my home. Being recently divorced, I was interested in creating a home that was "mine" instead of "ours". I had a few ideas of what I wanted before I met Raghda and she was able to assist me in making the right choices for me. When we started, I thought that my home was very nice but uninteresting. When Raghda was finished, my home became incredibly amazing. She helped me with color, lighting, furniture and design. She listened to what I liked and really heard me. She was able to create a very warm and inviting home that total fits my style and is extremely comfortable. I love coming home at night and feeling like it is truly a "home". Thank you Raghda!!

The work that Raghda Bakir and her team produced was truly astounding. The furnishings and décor ideas of Raghda helped selling our home within the first 24 hours on the market!! This is notably an unbelievable record for home sales in such an aggressive buyers market today. We were so amazed and very proud to have had her touches of beauty and grace on our house. 

Raghda’s work ethic and vision enhances an owner’s selling and buying experience. The beautiful ideas that she has introduced into our home definitely upgraded our investment and resulted in a positive return on our investment in the selling of our home. In essence, she is a remarkable interior decorator and visionary. Thank you Raghda for your eye for beauty and unique staging works. We plan to use your talents and skills again in our next home and we highly recommend you and your expertise to all future home sellers and buyers. Thank you Raghda. 

We are forever grateful to you!!!

Dear Raghda

Well, you have done it again! I am so delighted with the results of the work you did on my listing on Stevenson Rd in Pearland. The house was a nice but dark and dismal house. But now it's WONDERFUL! I know we will be able to get it sold in a much quicker time SIMPLY BECAUSE OF THE EXCELLENT WORK YOU DID!

I can't tell you how much I appreciate it! And my client was stunned by the results! He said if he'd let you do this before; he might have decided to KEEP LIVING THERE!

The home had been on the market for several months before I listed it. It was vacant and did not show very well. I suggested to my client that we call Raghda Bakir of Staging Works, which we did. Raghda has such a wonderful eye for visualizing what a house has the potential to become. Within a few hours, she was able to transform a plain decor into inviting and elegant home that buyers can see themselves living in. And I must add that the first person that walked in put a contract on it.

I would highly recommend Raghda Bakir of Staging Works to anyone who needs help in rearranging their home. Her vision and talent will no doubt, surpass all of your expectations.

Dear Raghda,

We are thrilled with the beautiful job you did staging our home. It is elegant, functional, and perfectly fits our taste. We appreciate how you incorporated our existing furnishings and added just the right pieces to complete the picture. Despite living in our home for two years and undergoing several remodeling efforts, our home never felt put together. Now, our home finally feels like how we dreamed of, specifically…

Initially, we were a bit apprehensive that the result would feel too “designer” and not feel like our home. But, you did a wonderful job considering our lifestyle and style. In fact, we find our home easier to live in now that our belongings have their own places. Also, we wondered whether staging our home would be worth the monetary investment. After you finished, we realized that we saved money because you worked so hard to find bargains and knew exactly what to buy. We would have spent at least twice the amount on our own and still not have gotten the desired effect. You are such a professional!

We have already raved about you to several friends. Don’t be surprised to hear from some of them. It was truly a pleasure working with you.

Sincerely,
