I read recently that flipping homes is back in style. Not sure it ever left, but… that’s what they say. As a professional home stager in Atlanta, I’ve had the good pleasure of working with many Atlanta flippers. Within the last two weeks, I’ve staged two homes recently purchased and renovated by investors.
As with all of my Atlanta investors, I give them an option of what rooms they are interested in having staged. Most select our key room home staging which has proven to be a very cost effective method of engaging buyers.
One of the rooms in question – as it relates to whether or not we would stage – was the formal living room. In most homes, the formal living room tends to be on the average size. That wasn’t the case with this home.
Here’s the before picture:
The room extends the entire length of the home. As you can see, it’s also quite narrow. I suspected, and they agreed, that this room would pose some challenges for the prospective buyers. Leaving a buyer "guessing" as to how to use the space the home has to offer isn't a good idea.
Here’s what the room looks like after we home staged this home:
The investors were beyond thrilled with how the room turned out. Equally important – buyers will no longer be left guessing how to arrange their furniture. Instead, they’ll see, first-hand, how to utilize this room.
Whether you’re an investor flipping homes, or a homeowner looking to move their Atlanta vacant home more quickly, we can help.
