About Us

Vizcaya Design Staging + Interiors has been a family business since it was started by Bevin Deiters in 2005. In January 2010, Erik Deiters, Bevin’s brother and long-time Vizcaya manager, took over the ownership of Vizcaya Design from his sister. With Erik at the helm, Vizcaya Design has flourished and continues to offer the highest quality custom staging services in the Bay Area.

Erik Deiters has a creative and eclectic background that makes him an interesting and engaging person, as well as a wonderful stager and designer. Erik had a design/build business before joining Vizcaya Design. He also has degrees in hospitality and business; he was a manager at the Fairmont Hotel; he owned a safari lodge in Kenya; and he can build just about anything. Erik is an exceptional carpenter, and when he is not staging, he is designing, building, and fixing stuff.

Vizcaya Design works its magic doing staging installations, architectural photo shoots, home and garden makeovers, and furniture design thanks to the creativity and resourcefulness of its amazing team members: Ruth Freeman, Lisa Rybak, Deborah Gatiss, and Darragh Skelton. Bevin Deiters continues her involvement with Vizcaya Design through special projects (Vizcaya Consulting: http://vizcayaconsulting.com/)

OUR PHILOSOPHY

When a home is going on the market, it needs to look and feel its best to appeal to the widest range of potential buyers in the target market. With every house we stage we achieve a sense of balance and a clean, inviting feeling. We want everyone who walks into a home staged by us to feel welcome and comfortable.

Vizcaya Design is a boutique staging firm: we focus on quality, and we take special care of you and your property during the home sale preparation process. We create custom, unique interiors for each home we stage. Your property is extremely important to us. The way it looks and feels when it goes on the market is our priority, not getting the job done as quickly and as cheaply as possible. The extra care we put into preparing your property for sale is apparent right away.

Our homes tend to present better in the marketplace than the average staged home because we avoid one day installations (although we can certainly do them if the schedule requires), because we work closely with real estate agents to understand you and the target market, and because we are thinking about adding the most beauty and value to your property with each item we place in your home as part of our staging plan.

It is our wish that the investment you make in staging your home with Vizcaya Design will come back to you abundantly in the successful sale of your home. We believe that with the right pricing and marketing strategies implemented by your agent, and with the best staging job and most thorough preparations, you can enhance the sales value of your home. We have seen this over and over again: the better prepared a home is when it goes on the market, the quicker it sells, and often for more money than expected.

With Vizcaya Design as your stager, you will receive unparalleled service and a top-notch result. Our vision is to create unique and universally appealing interiors of the highest quality. We believe in elegant, minimal staging to complement your most valuable worldly possession.

We look forward to getting to know you and to transforming your home into a market-ready work of art that will be unlike any other staged house in your neighborhood.
