before and after: Falling Waters of Greenville - Flip - 06/02/09 04:59 AM

 
 This house off Laurens road in Greenville was in terrible shape, but had wonderful traits. I consulted with owner/investor and contractor to bring this unique house back on the market.
It's the coolest house. Has a creek UNDER it, INSIDE atrium with planting beds and spiral staircase to loft, rock accents and very open floor plan with tons of natural light. We made changes to add even more light.            To see more pics, it's MLS # 1181009 in Greenville SC.

before and after: How do you sell Grandma's house to the Grandchildren? - 03/15/09 08:01 PM
This was the family home for 40 years. While well maintained, it was very personalized and somewhat dated. The target audience was the 30 something market. TWEAK was brought in right after grandma moved out. I consulted on paint, lighting, what to leave, what to keep. I used mostly the owner's items. I brought in some art, rug and plants. I finished staging on a thursday. Open house on Sunday. Under contract on THursday. I hope to have more pics on my site this week.
So the answer to the question is.....you stage it!!

before and after: You have to check this out - 11/06/08 08:07 AM
 A couple of blogs ago, I mentioned a staging project that was going to be dramatic. It is. It's an occupied property that had too much personalization. The owner left town and said "Do whatever you need to do to sell. Only don't touch the cuckoo clock."  I've posted the first round of Before and AFter pictures on my website under Portfolio page 3. www.TweakYourHouse.com
We accomplished much in 4 days. The seller came to the ususal conclusion after this process." I have too much crap in my life."

before and after: A true staging day today - Hard Core REal Estate - 11/01/08 12:15 PM
Spent almost all day at a property near Cherrydale in Greenville. The property has been on the market for  6 months with no interest. New agent brought me in right away for a staging consultation. This is going to be one of the most dramatic make overs I've done. I can see why the house had no interest.  The agent is very hands on and the owner is very hands off. I'll have the before and afters on my site next week.  www.tweakyourhouse.com
This should be a great story.
