Atlanta Vacant Home Staging - Before & After Pictures Included   I almost labeled this post; "How to Add Warmth" to a room. It's simply amazing how bringing in a few chosen pieces of furniture and accessories can do for a room. As you can see the before and after pictures of our home staging below, the room took on a whole new persona after these items were added. As for the before picture - one could possibly describe this room as plain and boring. It's also very likely that a prospective buyer, when visiting the home, would take one quick look and be done. As for the MLS listing photo - there's nothing too exciting about this room that would help drive them in.     As a professional home stager in Atlanta, I knew instantly what it would take to help evoke that emotional connection tha...

I get this question from my many clients buying or selling a home in Atlanta, GA and decided it was time to blog about it.  What is a Home Warranty? Basically, a  home warranty is a service contract that covers the repair or replacement of many of the most frequently occurring breakdowns of home system components and appliances. Is Everything in My Home Covered? No. Not everything is covered; but most system components and appliances that breakdown frequently are covered.  Read your contract carefully to be sure you are clear on what is actually covered!  Sellers - why do I need a Home Warranty? Having a Home Warranty Service Plan can help your home sell faster!  Home warranties offer added value to listings by increasing buyer confidence AND helping the home stand out from the rest .  ...

Seniors Real Estate Specialist in Atlanta Georgia During the past five years I became aware a significant percentage of my customers were "seniors" and had specific needs that vastly differed from those in younger generations.  To better serve these clients I sought to educate myself about special needs and opportunities for seniors as it relates to real estate.  To that end I completed the education and training necessary to earn a Seniors Real Estate Specialist designation. I Love Working with Seniors! My Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES) education and training has been particularly useful as I have counseled seniors clients in transitions to assisted living, nursing homes and in moves where seniors seek to live closer to out of state relatives.

Credit standards have changed over the last couple of years, so have the rules that make up the FICO score.  So, when was the last time you checked your credit???  This advice is for consumers as well as the professionals that serve them...(you)!!! Credit is needed for everything -- major purchases, minor purchases (a pack of gum, lol), insurance, utilities, to get a job!!! EVERYTHING RELIES ON YOUR CREDIT WORTHINESS!! So again...when was the last time you checked your credit???? Remember, you're entitled to a FREE CREDIT REPORT from each of the 3 credit bureaus EVERY 12 MONTHS. Here's the website - www.annualcreditreport.com.  Personally, I have a subscription through www.Truecredit.com where I have UNLIMITED access to all three credit reports and FICO scores.  Every month I assess my ...

...and all I had to do was ask! I am a decorative painter in Atlantaand advertising, as you know is expensive.  I try to do things that will get me noticed and try to maximize my SEO by blogging as you all do.  Atlanta Home Improvement Magazine is a free publication that is placed in thousands of paint and hardware stores around the city. (this publication also has circulations in many other major US cities) I sent an e-mail to the editor several months ago, asking about the magazine, and asking if they feature new businesses.  She said "yes"!  There is a section called "home front" that highlights smaller businesses and the services they offer. They included a picture of one of my murals and a great article describing the services I offer such as murals: both on site and portable wall ...

It's no secret that Atlanta luxury real estate prices, as well as elsewhere in the nation, have been hit hard.  The bigger question is how much actual wealth have Americans lost from the real estate crash and can that wealth be regained? The Standard & Poors Case-Shiller 20 city composite is down about 32% from its high almost three years ago.  While the Case-Shiller Index is weighted heavily towards major cities, including Atlanta, others feel the overall decrease is more modest. The Federal Reserve Bank publishes its own estimate of real estate values. Drawing from a variety of sources, it publishes its findings quarterly.  From the end of 2006 to March 31, 2009, the Fed estimates that the total market value of U.S. household real estate fell from $22 trillion to $18 trillion - or abo...
