Marietta, GA Condo Sells With Home Staging

By
Home Stager with Patsy Overton Interiors, Atlanta, Georgia

This cute little vacant condo in Marietta, GA was in great shape when I first saw it with one exception -- the sun room needed a fresh coat of neutral paint.  The homeowners obliged.  Here are before & after shots:

Instead of the large zebra striped ottoman which you see in the (above) photo to the right, a couple of small animal print "cubes" were ordered, but they were unavailble.  (You gotta be flexible in this business!) 

Here are before and after shots of the family room looking into the sun room:

This is what the homeowner (wife) had to say when she saw our pictures: When Chris showed me one of the photos, I didn't even realize it was my condo. I thought he was showing me potential properties to rent in California, and I told him the place looked really nice and to look into it! :)  I had to chuckle.

This property was under contract in 2 months.  Not a record, by any means, but with the high forclosure rate in Georgia, we'll take it.  Both the homeowners agreed, "The staging is what made the difference."

The sunroom looks so much richer in the new color!  Beautiful transformation!  I love that the seller didn't recognize it as her own place!

Julie - Any story that ends in a sale is a good one in my book.

Kathy - Thanks!  Enjoyed emailing with you today.

Sharon - Thanks so much.  Isn't it funny how homeowners always want to paint their sunrooms yellow when it actually detracts from the natural sunlight?  Go figure.

Patsy, I am laughing that they didn't realize it was their place, LOL. What a fantastic job, staging is so important for a home to sell.

Another fantastic job!

Cathy, thanks.  I had new head shots taken in Jan. and I keep trying to decide which one I like.  I decided to stay with my "signature" red.

Thank you, Michele.
