I know it is the 4th of July, but I feel like it could be Thanksgiving?
It looks like the 4th of July.  I certainly feel the patriotism.  I see the flags flying gloriously.  And there goes the parade up the street past my home as I sit here and blog!  Tonight there will be fireworks all around town.
. . . . but, I can't help the Thanksgiving heart felt emotions, tugging at my throat.  Let me tell you why!
Home Staging in Atlanta is booming for Peachtree Home Staging!  And I couldn't be more grateful.  
Grateful for my Independence . . .

peachtree city: A Peachtree City Treasure - 07/30/09 08:21 AM
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.

peachtree city: It's Show Time For The TEAM! - 02/10/09 09:18 AM
I recently staged an occupied home that belongs to a great Realtor, Rachel Hayes with Prudential Georgia Realty.  She has a Realtor partner, Leigh Steele. 
Together, Rachel and Leigh formed a TEAM prior to listing that they thought would give them the most powerful sales presentation possible for the home.
They had the home pre-inspected by Gary Sloan of Advantage Inspection They contacted Dave Loeffler of Met Life for mortgage lending information They had the home appraised by a local appraiser, Sam Williams And I had the privilege of staging the home.  I worked with a combination of Rachel's furnishing and accessories … (42 comments)

peachtree city: Understanding Home Staging - 04/14/08 03:16 AM
 
Does any one understand what home staging and redesign means?  It seems to me that home staging and redesign gets a lot of press as it is in the media and, of course, the wave of HGTV shows that exhibit the how to's and benefits.
But even with that, I am convinced that Home Stagers wanting to be successful in the business have to educate the public continually. 
Case in point, I was at a party the other night and a friend told me she was  going to be putting her home on the market.  She proceeded to ask me … (5 comments)

peachtree city: Why I Market My Staging with Integrity - 03/15/08 03:06 PM
It's a Classic Line! Treat it with Integrity!
It's the Home Stager's Classic Line!  And, rightfully should be!  It helps the home owner understand, it brings peace to the stress of the sale.  It brings legitimacy to the value of marketing preparation of a home for sale.  It puts the truth of the matter in the forefront. 
THE WAY WE LIVE IN A HOME IS DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY WE MARKET A HOME FOR SALE . . .
Every ounce of my home staging effort is dedicated to the value of this statement when it comes to staging an occupied home.  I … (20 comments)

peachtree city: The Staging Chef - 12/11/07 02:00 PM
I've been given another opportunity to speak to a group of Realtors.  This time I am addressing the difference between staging a vacant home and doing a staging/redesign of an occupied home.  I have had a lot of fun putting my candid presentation together for them.  I love doing both actually, vacants and redesign.  One thing that came out of my preparation for the upcoming presentation is an analogy comparing the two that I want to share.
"Professionally staging a vacant home for sale, to me, is like a Chef that has exceptional skills and demonstrates the ability to select the correct utensils … (23 comments)

peachtree city: Sellers, Do You Know the NAME of Your House? - 11/04/07 10:21 AM
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 … (34 comments)

peachtree city: Write Words for the Right Photos - 11/02/07 08:21 AM
I have a passion for Real Estate.  I have a passion for marketing.  And, because of those two passions, my ultimate passion is Real Estate Merchandising -- yes, home staging. 
Having been a Realtor in Georgia for many years, I gained a heartfelt appreciation for the value of good marketing and extraordinary presentation of properties.  With every listing I had, I dedicated time to gathering the most powerful words to display an intriguing property description.  I combined those words with my photos to ensure my clients had inviting flyers outside and inside their home while on the market.  I extended that effort to … (20 comments)

peachtree city: Hmmm . .. How Functional Is VACANT? - 10/29/07 11:32 AM
Remember, you are selling a HOUSE, a property; space. Disassociate yourself.
Okay, but what if . . .
What if the house you are selling is vacant?  Well, it becomes easier to disassociate yourself!  YEA!  After all, your belongings have already been removed and that, of course, is what made it home.
Now the problem becomes that your disassociation ; well, uh, is the very disassociation your vacant house is displaying to all the potential buyers.   Uh-Oh!
Let's step back and think about this problem.  Hmmm . . .
OKAY . . . When you are shopping for that new wonderful wide screen TV or any television for … (45 comments)

peachtree city: Home Is Where the Heart Is; The Wallet's Where the House Is! - 08/15/07 07:02 AM
Home Staging by a professional home stager prior to placing your home on the market is a tool that provides multiple home selling advantages.  Having been a Realtor® for many years, and now a professional home stager, I have witnessed both the financial and emotional advantages home staging provides to home sellers over, and over again.
First, the wallet's where the house is!  it's important to look at your current market statistics with your Realtor®.  The numbers can be quite startling!  For instance, in Fayette County, Georgia there are approximately 27,000 owner-occupied houses.  Data taken from the Georgia MLS shows that Fayette County's average … (20 comments)

peachtree city: George, The Good News Realtor - 08/11/07 10:24 AM
Is it Bad News; or is it Good News?
The Realtor that advises their listing clients to have a Home Staging Consultation prior to publicly listing their home on MLS knows they are delivering good news, not bad.  These Realtors know how to make lemonade, time and time again!
Realtors are continually in client situations where they have to deliver bad news.  It can be a challenge, chiefly because Realtors have an obligation to deliver honesty to a potential client while, at the same time, trying to capture and earn that client's trust and confidence. 
When a Realtor goes to a listing appointment and … (16 comments)

peachtree city: House Hunting? Are you skeptical of a staged home? - 07/19/07 07:21 AM
Home buyers look at multiple homes when surfing the market.  Generally they look on the Internet first in the comfort of their home or Realtor's® office, then they head out for an excursion tour guided by their Realtor® hoping to find the family solution that fulfills their dreams for daily living.
Sometimes buyers, some Realtors as well, feel that if a home is staged, the sellers are trying to "fool" the lookers; trying to cover up something, or they are trying to trick the buyers into thinking the home is larger than it is.
Home Staging is actually just the opposite!  The purpose … (13 comments)
