atlanta home staging: Another Home Staging tool worth checking out - 03/29/09 12:22 PM
It's funny how things cross paths.  It's been said before that there are no coincidents.  HHHMMMM....  My husband, Tim, does home improvement and handy-man services around northern Atlanta, which has been great because he is my 'handy-man' referral on my written consultations for home staging clients.  He is also a recommended … (21 comments)

When I'm called upon to conduct a home staging consultation, it's typically for an occupied resale in the northern suburbs of Atlanta.  The homeowners often just want professional guidance:  to be told where to begin, what to do and what not to do.  As I take my notes, I include everything … (33 comments)

atlanta home staging: A Phisher turned out to be an Interviewer! - 06/17/08 10:10 PM
I was picking up my daughter this afternoon when I saw that I had 2 new voicemails.  I didn't recall my phone ringing although having my son and my neighbor's daughter in car while they were playing the Sweenie Todd soundtrack might have been the reason I didn't hear it!  As I sat and waited … (16 comments)

atlanta home staging: RESA Nominee Here.... - 01/06/08 08:47 PM
For anyone that knows me, I am NOT a cheerleader, especially for myself.  I actually am my own worst critic.  Funny thing, though, I was watching the MTV show 'Made' with my kids yesterday morning.  It was about a HS Junior girl who wanted to run for Junior Prom Queen.   She … (13 comments)

atlanta home staging: I'M BAAAACCKKKKK!!!!! - 12/21/07 07:13 PM
OK---well, um...I never left!  But because I wasn't found on a basic Google search, it seemed I went MIA yet I've been here all along!  The number of home stagers in Atlanta have probably quadrupled in the last year so I can't afford to not be visible.  So I had to … (2 comments)

Before touring this $179K home in Douglasville this past week, the REA told me that it was still being worked on as it is an investor flip.  I guess it was her way of preparing me for what I was about to see.
