A simply put testimony regarding Real Estate Home Staging Result...

Hi Karen, Just wanted to give you some updates. Our house is SOLD. In this tough housing market, I thought it would take a while, but putting the house at the right price and MORE IMPORTANTLY your keen sense of STAGING allowed for the house to be sold within 90 days... I know for sure that without your service, we would be still making our mortgage payment on our old home. You were fantastic that you worked with us with what we have (did not have to rent any furniture or anything) and it resulted in sale. Thanks again, and I will be sure to share your contact information with people when asked... I hope that you will stay in this business for a long time as people will definitely need your services now and in the future.

This is an Atlanta area occupied home that has been home staged by Peachtree Home Staging in 2009. Many of the furnishings belong to the homeowner. Peachtree Home Staging created the perfect presentation for listing the property by our rearranging the home owners items and adding accessories and small furniture from our vast inventory.

This loft area made a perfect setting for home staging a small reading/office area in this Atlanta home located in Smyrna, GA.

Looking down from the loft, we opened up the living area by putting the chairs fireside. Our Atlanta home staging always focuses on the homes architectural features and highlighting the fireplace is a must!

By placing the chairs fireside in this Smyrna home, we also opened up the room's view upon entering this cozy family room. The room not only looks larger it becomes more functional.

This Decatur home in Atlanta, GA had 4 bedrooms and we wanted to show in our home staging that this bedroom was large enough to hold a King bed.

Here, our home staging team removed the bookshelves from this guest bedroom to open up the floor space. We then used the book shelves in the upper loft area. Our Atlanta home staging service always strives to use the home sellers belonging to minimize costs.

Sometimes with our home staging we bring in furnishings and accessories from our expansive Atlanta inventory to make the best presentation. In the pictures below you will see that we have brought in colorful art and an appealing table to the kitchen area. With key room home staging, kitchens really need to POP!

Dining rooms are another key room that must "WOW" the home buyers – both on line in Atlanta's MLS, and when physically touring the home staged property. Sometimes the dining room can become a "catchall". Don’t let that happen when your home is on the market! This Smyrna, GA dining room certainly has the wow factor now!

Atlanta homes must tout an office space for the family computer. A home office is now a staple. You want your home staged office space to be inviting to the prospective home buyer.

Furniture and small accessories help define the space you are selling as shown above in this Atlanta galley style kitchen.

White linens set a calming SPA like feel to this Atlanta area master bedroom located in Newnan, GA.

As it turned out, Peachtree Home Staging was able to use almost all of the seller's furniture and completed the look with accessories from our vast inventory. We saved this seller a lot of money by working with what she had.

Towels and accessories really warm up the bath area presentation.

Sometimes all you need is the eye of an expert to VIRTUALLY coach you on examples of different furniture layouts. Rooms photograph bigger with certain arrangements. If you are preparing to sell, this is an important part of home staging your MLS pictures! In this example, by rearranging furniture, the bay nook is accentuated. The kitchen keeping room is more functional and appears more spacious.

Above you will see a large playroom and another photo of a small office before home staging. This was quite functional for the family’s living arrangement in their Atlanta home. When it was time to sell they called in Peachtree Home Staging. Below, you will see, we had the rooms staged differently, with the playroom being the smaller room and the office was moved to the larger space. Taking action on changes recommended through our home staging expertise is why this Atlanta area home received an offer the very
first day on the market!

Master Baths also need a clean, crisp presentation when you go to market your home for sale as shown in this
Newnan, Georgia home we staged.

Family rooms are an important room to home buyers. When selling your Atlanta area home feature your family room
free and clear of clutter.

Second floor catwalks are a great venue to create a dramatic view of a lower room for your home for sale photos on the Internet. Professional home staging as shown here in this Atlanta area home will provide visuals that will capture the eye of the home buyer!

Dining rooms are often a room that connects between the foyer and the kitchen as shown here in the upscale home located in Newnan, Georgia. When staging for selling a home, there should be a generous walking space between the walls and the furnishings.

When staging this Atlanta area home Peachtree Home Staging used the seller's furnishings, but brought in our company owned accessories to make the rooms pop for the perspective on-line internet home buyers.

In this before photo the Atlanta home seller was is the process of packing up their accessories when Peachtree Home Staging came in to do the first consultation. The After photo here shows the final presentation created by Peachtree Home Staging.

When staging a home, Peachtree Home Staging takes into consideration the physical space for actual home showings, as well as the creating a WOW visual for the Internet photos, as we did here in this Atlanta area home.

This beautiful home in Peachtree City, an Atlanta area suburb, has a sitting room off of the master. With sparse furnishings the master appeared long and narrow. By using some of Peachtree Home Staging's inventory we were able to stage the sitting area helping the home buyer visualize the great feature this space brings to the value of the home.

The next set of photos is from our second visit to the home. As you can see, the sellers removed the majority of their belongings to the new home, leaving this home somewhat vacant. At this second visit we determined what home staging furnishings and accessories we would add to the home, taking into consideration the seller's budget. Here are the pictures from our second home staging visit:

The seller wanted us to identify some items they could purchase that we could use for staging their home and that would be of benefit to them in furnishing their new home once the sale was completed with the staged home. We were happy to provide that service and selections were made. Then, working within their budget and furniture needs for the new home, we agreed to home stage the main floor which was the kitchen, family room, dining room, half bath and sunroom. On the second floor we accessorized one full bath that was in view as you came off the landing, and also the master bath to show off the great features and size. The following photographs are the pictures the Realtor took and posted on MLS after our home staging was completed using a combination of their belongings
and our accessories.

Working with this Atlanta area home owner's furnishings; but changing out the accessories; transformed this Peachtree City home into a visual that will appeal to today's home buyers. The home was already de-cluttered, neat, had great memorabilia and many personal collections of interest including some intriguing antiques. The home showing problem that occurs in this scenario when selling, is that the home becomes very personal in appearance and difficult for the average home buyer to visualize the home without the collections.

This before picture is a great example of how we live in our home and in our world of convenience. As you can see in this after picture the presentation for selling has tremendously improved. Home staging is not always convenient to everyday living; but a good home stager will strive to work convenience in for the home seller as well as excellent presentation for the home buyer.

Fresh flowers are a nice touch; but large bouquets can crowd a small space. When it is time for an open house have your foyer "open" as that will be the first indoor impression made by the potential buyer. It's like the saying goes, "Less is more!"

When your home has a showing, make sure all the rooms, especially the Great Room, has a clear path that invites the prospective home buyer to wander through. This can be tricky; how to best arrange your furnishing. It definitely takes some know-how. A professional, experienced, home stager will know how to work out the presentation and angles to create the invitation and help the room appear larger.

Bedrooms need to create an atmosphere of warmth and relaxation. While on the market keep the beds made and keep the bedrooms tidy. A quality home stager will help you with warm color selections and help you prioritize what items to pack up in advance.

By adding color and texture this master suite projects soothing sophistication and feels like a retreat from the daily grind.

This kitchen desk has been cleared of personal effects and clutter making it easy for the buyer to visualize the desk's value to the room.

By adding a seating arrangement, this bay nook took on a warm relaxing feeling and shows a sense of privacy for reading and personal time. Small tapestries were hung to show off the great height of the ceilings and add a splash of color.

By rearranging, and depersonalizing, this area now appears more functional and emphasizes the value of the extended bay area.

In this Lawrenceville, Atlanta suburb home, the wall paper was dated and needing to be freshened up.

Karen came up with a plan to accentuate the beautiful crown molding by placing a thin piece of additional molding up and using a coordinating accent paint color.

This night stand takes on a look of elegance with decluttering and adding paneled curtains.
