atlanta home stager: Never lost; but FOUND, we were!!! - 09/16/11 03:23 PM
Never lost; but FOUND, we were!!!
I received an e-mail from a Realtor. It read . . .
"Hi there,
I have a listing located at 1368 Ormewood Ave, Atlanta, Ga 30316. Beautiful down-to-the-studs renovation. We have had fabulous showings but not offers! We've been the bridesmaid to two other homes that were picked (funnily enough they were staged).
My sellers and I would like to look into staging. Is this something you can talk to me about?
I e-mailed back . . .
"It would be a pleasure to stage that home! I have staged several in … (10 comments)

atlanta home stager: I just had an encounter with an accessory hoarder! - 09/13/11 02:50 PM
I just had an encounter with an accessory hoarder!
Yes, seriously. This was the biggest accessory hoarder I have ever staged!
Now you may think I am speaking of a home owner I helped de-clutter to get ready to put their home on the market; but I am not.
This “accessory hoarder” was a cute little VACANT bungalow home in the sought after Virginia Highlands area of Atlanta in desperate need of Peachtree Home Staging.
Now, you may ask, “How can a vacant home be an accessory hoarder?” Well, it was like having vacant room -- inside vacant rooms! And … (25 comments)

atlanta home stager: Was the First April Fool a FSBO? - 04/01/11 10:39 AM
Was the first April Fool a FSBO? After all, we all look forward to the Spring Market.
I believe the April Fool FSBO demonstrates the value of the many Real Estate professions!
Here are the top ten indications that the first April Fool getting ready for the spring market was, in fact, a FSBO
#10 -- I am not updating anything -- the buyer can do that! Brass and wallpaper are just fine!
#9 -- Why should I have to finish all of the repairs? Let the buyer get the repairs … (33 comments)

atlanta home stager: Sometimes it is difficult to see past the rubble . . . and remodeling creates RUBBLE! - 06/12/10 10:52 AM
Sometimes it is difficult to see past the rubble . . . and remodeling creates RUBBLE!
I visited this "vacant" condo one afternoon to prepare a quote for Peachtree Home Staging to present to the seller. As you can see from the photos below, it may be "VACANT"; but there was a lot of activity going on!
One week later, we became the selected home staging company to create the final presentation for this little Atlanta condo located in Vinings.
Challenged with a rather cluttered first impression, to say the least, we had no idea what we would find upon entering the 2nd time with … (14 comments)

atlanta home stager: If you are selling -- SHOW THAT HOME OFFICE! - 04/05/10 10:24 AM
If you are selling -- show that home office!
No kidding, that home office room is HOT, HOT, HOT! It's become a must have. Let the buyers know straight from the curb appeal that your home for sale boasts a home office!
Okay -- let me back up. Don't display the home office outdoors. It just doesn't work . . .
The point is that the new "curb appeal" is NOT your DRIVE BY's -- It is now your Internet photos of your home listing! Today's buyers view the Internet photos WAY BEFORE checking out your drive by "curb appeal"

atlanta home stager: My Art, My Accessories, Their Furniture, A Realtor's Listing Showcased - 12/29/09 09:11 AM
Ideally, when working with a home seller in preparing their home for the market I like to be able to go in and design my Atlanta area home staging presentation by using the furnishings and the accessories the home seller already has available. This is the most economical home staging solution for the seller.
Sometimes, however, the sellers accessories are too personal in nature, or too dated in appearance. So, while the sellers accessories are their treasures, there are other items within Peachtree Home Staging's large inventory that will exemplify the home's features for the interest of buyer and the home's … (17 comments)

atlanta home stager: Effective home staging is not THE solution - 11/30/09 08:40 AM
Effective home staging is not THE solution;
it is a marketing tool to facilitate a successful end result.
Peachtree Home Staging spent a lot of our time during November de-staging our vacant staged homes. As a result, I spent a great amount of time shelving and inventorying my vast amount of accessories this past week. As I was doing so I thought of each piece and where it had been placed an how quickly my staged homes were moving. That inspired me to make a list … (25 comments)

atlanta home stager: DARN GOOD ADVERTISING! - 08/11/09 12:59 PM
You know what I love? It's an under contract sign on a home I have staged.
You know what else I love? It is a Realtor that see the benefit of staging by Peachtree Home Staging and then takes the extra steps to promote her staged listing.
Ask your Realtors to Advertise You to other agents when doing their agent open house of a house you have staged. I contribute a $75.00 Gift card for services for the drawing. I attend the open house and always have a blast.
Can you come? You are invited!

atlanta home stager: Home Staging Success Creates need for Home Stager! - 06/12/09 07:51 AM
Peachtree Home Staging recently staged a vacant home in the Atlanta metro area, located in Newnan, GA. Yesterday I popped in with the listing agent to check on things at the home. The home has gone under contract and I will be de-staging soon.
When we got there, the home buyer and her agent were also there with the home inspector. We all politely began to make introductions.
When the listing agent introduced me as the home stager for the property, the home buyer let out such a loud delightful squeal it startled all of us!
Immediately she asked me … (15 comments)

atlanta home stager: Does Your "Trailer" Draw Folks in to View Your "Flick"? - 12/28/08 10:48 AM
In this market, your property for sale needs a great "TRAILER" or nobody is coming to view your "FLICK"!
My husband and I are planning to go a movie. We only do this a few times a year as it is now so convenient to nestle into the warmth of our own living room to take in a flick. We certainly do not want to waste our time seeing something that is not of interest to both of us. Therefore, we go to the Internet . . . view all the trailers of the flicks currently available, and narrow down our "Top Picks" that we both want … (7 comments)

atlanta home stager: Staging Burns Buyers! I think NOT! - 11/30/08 02:34 PM
I am continually astonished at the misunderstood interpretation of home staging by some folks!
I have to re-blog this post, and I thank Joshua Jarvis for doing the original post that set me off on this mild tangent. Obviously, Joshua gets it and I am glad of that.
Good home staging is "simply" quality marketing.
For heaven's sake, when I home stage I even avoid putting down rugs as I want the buyer to see the carpet or hard woods their buying, Sometimes I use them as an anchor when need be to best illustrate the room size. but never to mislead.

atlanta home stager: Straight from the "house's" mouth - 09/22/08 08:43 PM
"All the house can be a stage" is the title of an article the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) published in their weekend "HOME FINDER" section a week ago.
The author, Mary Booth Thomas, did not interview home stagers for input, nor did she interview REALTORS for validation of Atlanta home staging expertise.
Her validation as to the value of home staging came straight from the house's horse's mouth!
Ms. Thomas interviewed home sellers regarding their take on home staging in the Atlanta market. She asked questions about the value of their home staging experience for an occupied home.

atlanta home stager: What, Why, When, and How Much Does it Cost? - 08/08/08 06:44 AM
I frequently have Realtors in the Atlanta area comment that home sellers often do not understand or grasp the value of home staging. Selling the concept of home staging then becomes a real challenge for the Realtor. I think it can simply be expressed by clarifing the What, Why, When, and How Much does home staging cost?
What is Home Staging? Home staging is the art of presenting key rooms, and placement of furniture and accessory pieces in those rooms with the intent to draw general appeal to a home for sale for the most potential buyers. Home stagers design unique staging plans for … (23 comments)

atlanta home stager: Sellers, Do You Know the NAME of Your House? - 11/04/07 06:21 PM
If you are marketing your house for sale, you should consider what your house's name is to those who may be potential buyers.
No, I am not speaking about your address.
I am referring to the "NAME" all of the buyers who see your home on the Internet, visit your open house or physically view your home, will NAME it.
That's right; the BUYERS name YOUR house.
You see, there are many homes to choose from and it becomes a "bit of a clutter" for all those buyers. Certainly one can not expect the buyers to remember every address! If … (35 comments)
