Client reviews
Trusted by Orange County's top realtors
We partner with the area's most successful agents to deliver results that exceed expectations.
“The team is great! I reached out, and about a week later Staging was complete on the property. Design is great, communication is great, and the price is more than fair! I will certainly be using them for all of my Staging moving forward. Thank you!”

“Working with the May Home Design team was an amazing experience. I called them late Tuesday night, and we met the next day, Wednesday afternoon, to discuss the details. By Thursday, everything was set, and the house was staged by Friday. They highlighted the features of the house with staging furniture and thoughtful touches, making it look absolutely beautiful. The house went into escrow within a couple of weeks, with the buyer offering a top dollar amount higher than any house ever sold in the neighborhood, despite it being the slow fall market. The price for the staging was reasonable and competitive, and it was worth every dollar. Their communication was excellent! I highly recommend them and will recommend them to any friends thinking about selling their property.”

“I highly recommend Noah & May for staging properties in Orange County. As a busy real estate professional, they always work with my client's timelines and specific needs. He goes above & beyond to accommodate clients in unique situations, and the result is nothing short of phenomenal. I have been working with May's staging services since 2019, and I find the prices very reasonable for the returns my clients receive. With his staging services, we often generate multiple offers resulting in 20K, 30K, 50K and even 100K over asking price. If you're looking for the best home stager in OC, look no further! Thank you, Noah, for taking such good care of my clients :)”

“They were referred to me by one of my favorite realtors, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I had a tight deadline to launch the home, and they delivered with speed and efficiency. Their communication and transparency were exceptional—qualities that are hard to find these days. I highly recommend them and am thrilled to now consider them part of my team. Truly the best in the business!”

“To anyone that is reluctant in staging their listing to save money, you’re hurting your business in multiple ways. May Home Design was nothing short of amazing. Noah & Team were punctual, communicated consistently and went above and beyond my expectations. This was my first experience actually staging an entire home. May & Noah came in (on time) assessed the property and we decided on a coastal theme since the home is just a few minutes from the beach. The day they showed up, to work they went and within 3-4 hours, our listing was completely transformed. From a blank canvas to a beautiful coastal inspired home… I was in awe! The upcoming weekend would be our first open house and we were excited. Needless to say the staging and remodeling all came together as one and was a massive hit producing multiple offers in only 2 days. In a market that can be challenging, as an agent, you control the outcome on how a property shows. Staging with May Home Design will clearly reduce your days on market and net a return of 15-25% or more which will clearly cover your investment while saving time, demanding a higher price point and earning you a strong, well earned commission and new business. I can’t wait to work with May & Noah in the very near future. Thank you both so very much.”

“OUTSTANDING! The designers at OC Home Staging were professional, responsive, communicative, and most of all, EFFECTIVE. My home had been on the market with no furniture and no offers for 35 days prior to my engaging their incredible staging services. Within 7 days of home staging, and no reduction in listing price, I received two offers on the home. I am their customer for life.”
