WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY
Heather C.
Home Seller
“BA Staging & Interiors is a fantastic company. We used them for staging our home and they were top notch from start to finish. Birgit and Leslie came to assess the house, take measurements, and talk through the process and ideas. We interviewed two other companies, but it was evident that BA Staging Interiors had the expertise and inventory to create a high end look at a similar price. We were in awe of how the staging came out. The layout of each room was amazing, and the proportions of the furniture, artwork and miscellaneous items matched perfectly. Karina was our point person, and she was always available and so pleasant. It was a very easy logistical process, which during a move is always welcome. One tremendous bonus was their exceptional photos. We did not need to hire a photographer, which also saved us money. I can confidently say that this staging probably increased the value of our home by about 10-20%, based on comparable homes and what price was recommended by our realtor to list it as prior to staging vs. after staging. I would highly recommend BA Staging Interiors.”

“I hired Birgit Anich to stage my house in Connecticut. She did an amazing job and really lifted the place to a whole new level. I was on the fence about staging due to the cost. After she shared her ideas I knew it would make a difference. We were competing in a high end market and had to ensure the house was in showroom condition. We sold on the first day and could not be happier with the result. Birgit now consults for me as an interior designer. I love her ideas and amazing attention to detail.”
Julie Y.
Real Estate Investor – Greenwich, CT
“Wow. Wow. Wow. I interviewed a handful of stagers and chose Birgit because her inventory didn’t seem to repeat itself in the various jobs she’s done. I am beyond pleased with her work. The pieces she’s brought are sophisticated and look very expensive. Her attention to details is impressive. She’s got a Channel coffee table book in the living room and a Puppy Love coffee table book in the great room, plus the cutest little kiddie sandals and coat in the mud room. (Can you say: emotional connection!) She took my beautiful $1.5M Greenwich house “up a notch” and made it truly aspirational. And all without attitude because the house is only 1.5 — it is Fairfield County after all.”

“We hired Birgit Anich Staging & Interiors to help us market a beautiful 6 BR colonial in Wilton. The house had been on the market for several months with no offers. Birgit was hired to give the house a “younger” look that appeals to our target buyers. Once her recommendations were implemented, the house was put back on the market and we had an accepted offer in 2 weeks. I would highly recommend Birgit’s services to anyone looking to sell a home in this difficult market. She was professional, easy to work with and extremely effective. My sellers were extremely pleased with the outcome.”
Mandy S.
Home Seller
“Birgit staged our home in Southport, CT in March of this year. The result was fantastic. Not only did our home sell in just a few weeks, but it sold for a great price. Birgit is more than just a stager, she is a very talented interior designer and she makes every detail of your home look beautiful. All of the realtors who saw our house said that it was the best staging that they had ever seen. We definitely got a full return on our investment. I would also mention that Birgit is super organized, reliable, and a very nice person, so from start to finish it was a pleasure to work with her. I give her my highest recommendation.”
Home Seller
“Although initially skeptical on the topic of professionally staging my property I must admit that I have 100% changed my mind, particularly given that many potential buyers form their initial opinions via the internet. Birgit’s first class understanding of contemporary tastes based upon multiple successes was instrumental to the successful sale of my property.”
Anne B.
Home Seller – Greenwich, CT
“When our broker advised us to use a “stager” to help us sell our house, I have to be honest that my husband and I were very skeptical. After meeting with Birgit and doing an initial walk through with her, we were very impressed with her advice. We became so comfortable with her that we didn’t even look at the paint colors she chose for us before the rooms were painted. We wanted to be surprised with the transformation of the rooms and we were not disappointed. She worked within our budget and even the most subtle improvements she recommended made a dramatic impact. Her advice was spot-on!We had four brokers come to our house to help our broker price it before Birgit staged the house. When the brokers came back for the Open House they couldn’t believe it was the same house. Our home was received extremely well by both the brokerage community and prospective buyers and we had two offers on our house the first week it was listed. We would absolutely use Birgit for both staging and/or decorating advice in the future and would recommend her services without reservation! My husband and I agreed it was money well spent and Birgit’s advice greatly improved the value of our home.”

Home Seller
“When I read about the marketing benefits associated with staging one’s home prior to selling it I was skeptical. Some combination of pride and a strong emotional commitment to my sense of style were fighting my twenty years of C Level marketing with a Fortune 500 company.
Reason and my own marketing experience ultimately won out as independent researchers had studied the impact staging can have on price, time to sale, and return on investment and there was, and is, no question the benefits that accrue to a seller who invests in staging.
I interviewed a large number of staging firms and found many to be self proclaimed experts who saw themselves as designers with no understanding of the value of what is today called “lifestyle merchandising” and the related notion of “target staging ” …or essentially making your home look like what buyers are looking for in the here and now.
I learned the wisdom of this approach to staging and merchandising one’s home from Birgit Anich, the founder and owner of BA Staging & Interiors whose work I’d seen featured in HGTV, ABC, and in The New York Times.
I met with Ms. Anich and found her a pleasant but no nonsense right brain left brain design professional and expert staging professional whose credentials and awards speak for themselves. After reading her plan, I retained her firm.
Ms. Anich completely reimagined my home in Chappaqua for the young professional family who Ms. Anich said was the target buyer.
Did it work? I received 8 offers in 10 days and all were well above my asking price and substantially higher than what my Realtor thought the house would command prior to staging. The ROI on my investment was north of 330%! Unimaginable… seemingly… but true.
Ms. Anich is a professional photographer and the pictures of my home after staging likely will answer any questions you may have. I cannot recommend BA and Ms. Anich highly enough!”
Jacquline M.
Design Client – Norwalk, CT
“I had an old, cramped, poorly planned, completely dysfunctional galley kitchen. Birgit came in, took pictures and measurements, and a few days later had a design for me that was logical, easy to implement for both the architect and the general contractor, worked well within my space constraints and budget, and yet turned my kitchen into a completely different place. Her ideas were brilliant. I love my kitchen now, thanks to Birgit!”
Christina B.
Home Seller – Redding, CT
“Birgit did an amazing job for us, and made it so easy when we were in transition and occupied with other things. She made our house look welcoming, but still spacious. We had no offers in the first three months, and as soon as we staged it we received two. Thanks, Birgit!”
Jessy
Home Seller - Weston, CT
“Birgit staged our house in preparation for the quick sale we wanted. She understood the target audience and worked with us to find the look and make the changes we would need to ensure the sale happened in a timely fashion. She helped work around some “challenging” aspects to our house (dated bathrooms) in a cost-effective way and guided us to make cost-effective changes (paint, cleaning, carpet removal) that had a huge impact. She moved at a very speedy pace along with us and the outcome was a beautifully staged home that saw numerous offers within week one of our selling process. We are grateful!”
Lynn S.
Real Estate Agent - Greenwich, CT
“The open house went very well. The brokers that had originally priced the house a month ago did not recognize it! The change of colors in the dining room and master bedroom and taking away any clutter made a huge difference. The house really looked great and the brokers really liked it. Thank you for all your help.”
Susan H. Realtor
Westport, CT
“I am a Realtor and I recently recommended Birgit Anich Staging & Interiors to a client who was thinking of selling his house. The house was rather large and somewhat unfurnished. Despite having rather interesting architecture, the lack of “decorating” really made this extraordinary house seem quite typical and not worth much more than my client had paid for it about 18 months earlier.When my client met Birgit and she was able to detail her vision for the space, my client very smartly hired her on the spot and he and I both agree it was the BEST thing he ever could have done!Birgit highlighted the stunning and unusual architectural elements of the house. The transformation was so unbelievable, it completely elevated the home into a much higher than anticipated selling-price category.”
David Morico

“I worked with Birgit on a large art project for a client’s main dinning room. Her knowledge and direction helped me vision the outcome of what the client was in need of. She’s a inspirational person who’s very creative. Birgit can take any space and make it bring it beyond the expectation of your imagination. I highly recommend her.”

“Birgit and her team are professional, punctual, personable, pragmatic and results-focused. My house sold in a week due in large part to Birgit’s staging. She guided me throughout the process and I learned a lot too! Thank you!”
Vicky B.

“I hired Birgit Anich Staging and Interiors to stage our new home construction. I selected Birgit based on the photographs on her website and she was everything and more! Birgit clearly explained the whole process and was completely professional from beginning to end. When I first saw the transformation she made to our home I was floored. The pictures speak for themselves. Everything was so beautiful and her details really drew you into the home. Birgit helped us sell our home and I will definitely use her services again!”
Emilia Ferri

“Birgit Anich impressed me the moment I met her on an interior design consultation. She was professional, friendly, and enthusiastic. Birgit has a remarkable design sense and was able to capture the modern aesthetic my clients were desiring immediately. She provided great feedback, made creative suggestions and her recommendations were on point! I strongly recommend Birgit’s expertise for interior design and staging services and look forward to working with her again in the future.”
Colleen S.
Realtor
“As a realtor, I cannot express how exceptional the work from BA Staging & Interiors was for my clients. I can attribute how amazing Birgit’s eye and talent is by quoting my seller when he saw his house staged…”Wow, can I buy it?” We were able to sell this property over a quarter of a million dollars OVER asking price! Thank you BA Staging & Interiors!”
Marybeth S.

Prill B.
Home Seller
“Birgit and her team are amazing. They staged my former house for sale; and not only was their vision of what buyers want spot-on but their taste was impeccable. I loved what they did! The staging, in other words, was worth every penny I spent. Then, after I moved into my new place and did what I could to decorate on my own, Birgit helped me refine my vision and make my house into a dream home. I can’t praise this company enough!”
Lauren P.
Home Seller
“We HIGHLY recommend BA Staging & Interiors. Birgit is an amazing designer, with an absolute eye for attention to detail. She transformed our 3 – level townhome in New Canaan, CT, into an extraordinary and modern space. The rooms were done with warmth, inclusive of beautiful furniture and accessories. We had an offer within 1 day of putting our home on the market! Moreover, the process itself was easy. Birgit and team communicated throughout, answered questions, and were very responsive. We can’t thank you enough!”

“We used BA staging & interiors company for staging our condo before sale. Birgit Anich gave us very informative and professional consultation first – spent plenty of time with us – looking at our space, measuring and giving advices. We almost moved to the new house by that time – what we had left did not look presentable. She turned it to absolutely gorgeous home. She also provided professional pictures highlighting the best aspects of interior, I wish I knew about this company before! We will definitely work with her on our new home interior project!”

“Birgit helped with the interior design of our new build house in Greenwich. She was available every step of the way and brought a fresh perspective. She helped with developing color palettes, tile designs, paint colors and some of the decisions around functionality and design. We continue to work with Birgit on furnishings for the house. She has a great sense of style, contemporary yet fine tuned to a more transitional style for us. She is fun to work with and meticulous in her work. Thanks to Birgit we have a lovely space we call ‘home’.”

“We worked with Birgit from BA Staging and Interiors to update and furnish a new house that we had just purchased. Birgit did an amazing job creating an interior for us that was beautiful, clean and modern and reflected our design personality. In addition, it is very comfortable and functional for our family. We appreciate it on a daily basis! Birgit has an amazing design eye and is also very organized and detail oriented, staying on schedule and budget. We really enjoyed working with her and will use her again in the future.”
Joan W.

“Birgit evaluated what was needed to achieve the best selling price and got back to my client with a proposal within 48 hours. The staging was completed on time and exceeded our expectations. My client was so happy with the “new look”, she wants to hire Birgit for consultation and recommendations for her new home.”

“BA Staging & Interiors staged our home to perfection! We were amazed by attention to details and the luxurious quality of the décor and furnishing. We highly recommend BA Staging & Interiors!”
Home Buyer
“We found pictures online of the house before you staged it. We loved the house but I don’t think we would have purchased it before your work. It would have been too hard to see how nice it could be.”
