Home Staging the Interior Decorating

I recently had the pleasure of assisting a Realtor, Leigh Steele with Prudential Georgia Realty in preparing a model home in Walton County, Georgia for an MLS video. I found the construction and attention to detail quite impressive; not to mention the prices. These incredible homes are starting in the $190's, and they have a lot to offer for that price!

This was a fun day and a first time experience for me. The model home Leigh took me to to prep for the video had already been furnished and accessorized by an Interior Designer. The model is heavy in furnishing and although, beautiful, it was short on accessories, so I brought in some of my accessories from Peachtree Home Staging's inventory. Also, the model needed some quick alterations in the presentation, particularly for the video to be able to draw the eye to the homes excellent features. I wanted it apparent that his builder truly did quality work and had given the home all the extras a home buyer would drool over! Knowing the home buyers more than likely will first be looking on line, that was key!

For a true home staging professional such as myself, I was a bit intimidated following in behind the work of an Interior Designer. Her work was beautiful, without a doubt. Just the same, it was a great confirmation, however, as I was rearranging things to accent the homes features, that home staging is truly different than Interior decorating.

Here's a short real estate video I did on the home and neighborhood.

There is a professional video coming that was done by Tom Knight of Knightyme Studios and I can't wait to see it. I love having Tom Knight video my work and I also love doing home staging for Leigh Steele. Both of these two do top notch work!
