"Jacqui and the Mainstage team did an incredible job staging our home in One Tree Hill for sale. I literally cried with happiness when I saw how they had transformed every room in our house.
Their style is very modern & stylish and would appeal to a wide range of buyers as they add a touch of magic to every room. We had over 60 groups view our home and we sold under the hammer at auction and are sure that the staging helped with getting such a high level of interest as it really brought out the best in our home.
Jacqui also had great communication and made the whole process very easy! I will be highly recommending Mainstage to family and friends"

Jacqui and her team's selection and arrangement of the modern mid century look I was after was absolutely perfect for my brick and tile unit.
The furniture layout was arranged with a great deal of thought and care.
​
Their talented design experience added the special finishing touches with artworks, ornamentation and excellent use of colour.
​
Mainstage contributed to the success of my sale at auction, and I would highly recommend Jacqui and her team to future clients.

We recently sold our house at auction that Jacqui and her team staged. They did a brilliant job, where I can't thank them enough!!!
​
We had a partial staging which meant Jacqui used her super talents and skills to come up with extremely tasteful ways of
integrating our e.g. artwork and vases etc with what she brought in.
This often meant shifting our artwork to other areas of the house that I would never have thought of!
Her staging talents extended to the outdoor patio area where she brought in a wonderful collection of outdoor cushions, candles, tables and rugs. She has an absolutely fantastic eye for detail in terms of size and style of furnishings and for combining colour combinations for particular areas that again I would never have thought of

We have been super impressed with Jacqui and her team’s talent and eye for detail in staging our 3 bedroom 1940s bungalow. The choice of furniture and detailings, totally suited the style of our home, created a great atmosphere and certainly brought the best out in our property. Feedback from open homes was that the presentation was beautiful. We believe that Jacqui’s staging really helped the sale of our home. We’re stoked with the result and would be happy to recommend Jacqui and her team to anyone.

Mainstage decorated our two-bedroom unit in Western Springs with flair and panache which helped us achieve a record price. Thank you!

While preparing to sell my property, I knew I'd need some help to fill up a couple of empty rooms and make it look more homely and cohesive. I was recommended Jacqui from Mainstage. I'd never worked with a staging firm before so wasn't sure what to expect. I had a quick consultation over a lunchtime break. A couple of weeks later, when I opened the door to the property I was absolutely blown away when I saw their fantastic work first hand. The attention to detail was incredible. They had achieved such a stylish, warm, and inviting feel, highlighting all the property had to offer. I believe this definitely played a part in the successful sale of my flat. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jacqui to anyone needing their property staged.

I found Jacqui and her team went the extra mile to create an amazing setting for the sale of our villa in Mt Eden. I truly believe her teams extra touches and attention to detail helped us to achieve an incredible result on auction day. Jacqui is a good listener and communicator and she is a pleasure to work with. I strongly recommend Mainstage for any home staging, big or small!

My family and I went through Henley Road today and we were all very impressed with the way you staged the house. My daughter was very taken with the effort you went with matching laundry bag and towel in the laundry. The result of the staging is a light filled home with a warm and welcoming vibe. A fantastic result. Thank you so much for your effort!

Jacqui and her team staged my renovated villa prior to market. Not only did my home look absolutely gorgeous, I was also extremely impressed with their professionalism. I have had homes staged before but never with such ease and efficiency meaning my job in making my home presentable for market was a complete breeze. Jacqui’s team communicated well from the beginning and kept me in the loop throughout the process.
My home achieved an amazing auction sale price, selling for almost half a million over my agents prediction. I’m certain this was in part to my choice of stagers. Thanks Mainstage

"If you have a client who is looking for help to present their home, or you are needing a full stage for an empty property, Jacqui Freeman from Mainstage is your gal! Turning a space into an attractive soulful place is a real skill, and one that Jacqui has in spades. Working with the overall vibe of a property, whether as a partial stage, or the complete 9 yards, I can guarantee the property looks its best after Jacqui has worked her magic. From retro cool to contemporary chic - her and her team do it all. I have no hesitation recommending Jacqui to my clients who are wanting to enhance or fully furnish a property to get it market ready."

"Jacqui and Rachel from Mainstage did a spectacular job when staging our house for a quick sale.
They were particularly clever at ensuring that each element of the furnishing and decor was complementary to the colour and design of the empty shell they had been asked to dress.
Communication was good and the job was done very quickly."
Steve Thomson

A note to let you know that our Tawa Rd property sold at auction last night. It sold above reserve which was very exciting for us. I was in Auckland briefly last week and got to see the staging. I loved it. It really made a huge difference to the property and as you promised, looked very unstaged but very smart.
I will have no problem giving mainstage my highest recommendation to future clients.
THANK YOU for going above and beyond and making the house so desirable."

"As an agent there are a number of home staging companies to choose from but Mainstage has a distinct point of difference and that is Jacqui's ability to not only transform a room but give it a personality. She has a knack of mixing and matching new and vintage furniture and accessories to breathe life into a home.
After years of using staging companies to market my listings I find the vast majority look staged due to the predictable and neutral elements used. This is a vast improvement on the original presentation and is pleasing in an open home environment, but just doesn't 'pop' when photographed and reproduced in print or online."

"We used Mainstage for partial staging of our Ponsonby townhouse. Communication was excellent throughout the process from initial quote to delivery and pickup. The look and feel of what Jacqui and her team created resulted in positive feedback from agents and most importantly a good sale within 3 weeks. Many thanks, "

"We were beyond thrilled with the job Jacqui did staging our house. It sold within 2 weeks from going on the market and we truly feel her staging was a big part in helping buyers fall in love with our house.
She was easy to deal with and knew her stuff!
Jacqui has a real eye for knowing what looks best in the space provided. She spent time carefully choosing to match beautiful colours from the paintings to the duvets to the cushions and it all looked stunning. I would no doubt use her again and have recommend her to friends that loved what she did also.
Thanks Jaqcui for an incredible job"

"Jacqui staging is not like any other staging company, is different, is unique, with style and design, is cool and with attention to detail. Jacqui is a natural and she can easily transform empty spaces into warm beautiful welcoming homes. Jacqui started working with me early this year staging a one-bedroom unit and she did such a stunning job that the property was sold very quickly with a price that exceeded the vendor's expectations. After this first experience, I didn't hesitate to recommend her to my vendors and since then she has done more staging jobs including a two-bedroom apartment and a four-bedroom townhouse. I would highly recommend MainStage to anyone who is looking for a top-end staging for a successful sale result"

Cristina Casares, Ray White Ponsonby
"Jacqui recently took on the task of staging our house for sale – not an easy job as we were trying to preserve as much of the traditional feel, but also appeal to a broad range of buyers who might want a more modern look. Jacqui has managed to land that balance perfectly – the end result is a look and feel that appeals to all age groups and enhances buyer interest. Thank you Jacqui, you have done a great job and you have a real talent in your craft."

Dave, Glendowie
“I was fortunate to have been introduced to Jacqui. I had previously been rather sceptical about staging, but she did a wonderful job, promptly and efficiently, for a very reasonable cost, and transformed a rather plain apartment into an elegantly cosy, pleasant place that anyone would have been able to see themselves in. Jacqui was very pleasant to deal with, and also gave me some useful advice about finishing touches (painting, cleaning, etc). I fully intend to engage her for future property sales. Thanks, Jacqui"
Ritchie, Grey Lynn
"I was very pleased with the service provided by Mainstage. Jacqui was a pleasure to work with. During the installation was necessary to work around the house painters and Mainstage carried it out with their typical enthusiasm. After the dressing, the apartment looked fantastic, and I am sure this was a major factor in the subsequent excellent result at auction. Consequently, I can higly recommend Mainstage to any vendor"
Richard Willis, Sandringham
“Hi Jacqui,
Just wanted to express my thanks for the amazing job you did staging my home. You gave it a beautiful homely feel throughout and your style truly complemented the fresh renovation. We also had countless accolades form people that came though the open homes!
Your service and communication was great and I would be more than happy to recommend you to anyone who needs their home staged.
Thanks again"

“Dear Jacqui,
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you very much for the wonderful service and assistance you gave during the sale of my property at Cuba Apartments in Botany earlier this month.
Even though I live in Australia, your excellent communication and help during the process of “staging” the apartment in preparation for the marketing campaign and auction was much appreciated and made the process worry-free.
It provided an opportunity for the apartment to be presented in the best way possible and I am certain it gave a very positive input into the sale of the property. For you to walk into the empty apartment and have the foresight and the right furnishings available, at very short
notice, to make it look like a lovely home is amazing. I loved the end result and the photos looked wonderful.
I would be more than happy to recommend you to any prospective clients and I wish you every success in the future.”
​
Best Regards, Donna Andrews
"Jacqui recently partially stage our home.
Having attended many open homes we found Jacqui’s style to be refreshingly different; adding her own individual style which has made our home remain looking like “our home” but adding a stylish contemporary factor.
Jacqui has a lovely manner and makes suggestions tactfully whilst respecting our own ideas.
She is humorous, professional and her attention to detail is impeccable.
We wish her well in her career"

Jo Macfarlane
"Jacqui completed our staging to absolute perfection. Her furniture, linen and accessories matched the era of our house but also provided a homely feel about it too. Jacqui was easy to deal with and had great attention to detail.
The staging was the best decision we made as part of selling our house and it definitely added value."

"Just wanted to say thanks for the amazing job you did staging my house for sale. Achieved a great result at auction last week.
Family and friends were blown away by how you opened up the house
and made it looked bigger. Received heaps of complementary comments.
Loved the quirky items placed around the place. Plants, paintings,
bedding, cushions and some furniture made it still feel like a home (not overly staged).
I would be more than happy to recommend you to any prospective clients"
