No Pain, No Gain . . . Is it a pain in the _ _ _, really?
About 3 weeks ago, one of my vacant stagings was of a super cute 1950's updated home in a trendy area of Smyrna, GA close to the Vinings area. It was on the market for a couple of weeks prior to contacting Peachtree Home Staging. As it was explained to me, instead of posting photos of the vacant property at the time of listing, they choose to publish some older photos they had from the previous renters living in the home.

home: A Peachtree City Treasure - 07/30/09 03:21 PM
This house captured my heart the first time I saw it! The home was vacant, but I immediately saw my presentation!
It's not fancy or high end. It's comfy, charming, and quite livable. The condition of the home is impeccable . . . the very defintiion of "well-maintained".
So there are all those tax credits for first time homebuyers, which is ANY ONE, really, who hasn't owned a home in the last three years.

home: This Condo is One Step Ahead! - 10/28/08 04:44 PM
Peachtree Home Staging recently provided home staging services, furnishings, and accessories for a vacant condo located in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Buckhead is conveniently located near Midtown and Downtown Atlanta.
The owner of the condo lives out of town and had to trust we'd get the job done right. We finished up and sent photos last week and the owner paid a personal visit to the property this past weekend. Here is the e-mail we received back:
"Karen, We love the results. The condo looks so warm and welcoming. Wish I could move in." Thanks, Susan

home: Got the Touch? - 04/16/08 01:49 PM
The process of engaging in professional Home Staging for your occupied home and the process of engaging in a professional massage for your aches and pains have some similarities.
Some people just melt into a ball of butter at the very thought of relaxing in the soothing expertise that pours from the hands of the trained massage therapist.
Others, well, not so much.
They tighten up just at the thought of a strangers hands kneading and knuckling their muscles under bare exposure!
A home seller inviting a professional home stager into their domain reacts in two different ways as well.
Most are excited about their … (25 comments)

Everyone love statistics, and I've got to admitt . . . I love mine!
In Peachtree City, Georgia there are currently 274 homes for sale. The average home for sale is $367,000. It is a great place to live, without a doubt. It was recently ranked as the 8th best place to live in the U.S. And, I eagerly second that!

And something worthy of our appreciation to IKEA for hosting our event. And lastly something to express our appreciation to Gina McNew for airing a summary of the event on her radio show.

Kathy Nielsen and I have been working on overload and anxiously awaiting Thursday's Round Table at IKEA, here in Atlanta.
At the start, we efficiently split up our duties. Kathy is a more efficient organizer than I am, and my specialty is marketing and publicizing. So Kathy took on the invites and event organizing. I took on the choice of venue (with Kathy's blessing), venue contact and the marketing, i.e., crossword blogs, coordinating and posting the interview announcement with Gina McNew and the press release that went to all our local TV Stations and newspapers, business chronicles, and the Georgia Real Estate Magazine.

home: Take Down the Red Flag on Home Staging! - 06/21/07 02:14 PM
What does it really cost to stage a home, or not? Karen Dembsky of Peachtree Home Staging separates myth from reality.
Atlanta, Ga. June 21, 2007 - Many think the cost of staging a home is not worth it. Or, they think that home staging is only for the rich, with big fancy houses. Realtors® and home sellers, who could most benefit from home staging, don't always understand that the small cost can pay dividends in effectiveness.

Today I am thinking of all the things I like, and I like analogies. Here's one I have on my Web site: http://www.peachtreehomestaging.com/whatishomestaging.htm
"Remember, you are selling a HOUSE, a property; space. Disassociate yourself. When you buy a computer, you buy a shell that has the space to hold the items you want and need, software that makes it functional, and tutorials that demonstrate how it is best used. That is what Home Staging does for a house! A potential home buyer is shopping for a house; functional space that they can make their home. That's what they need to see."
