Atlanta Home Staging Before & After Pictures

Grant Park Home Staging 

We just finished our back-to-back home staging projects in Grant Park and I'm pleased to tell you that both turned out extremely well. The homeowners were very happy. You can see the last weeks project by visiting our Atlanta Home Staging Portfolio.

It's simply amazing just how big of a transformation a vacant home can go thru when professionally home staged. And the most surprising thing is that it doesn't take a lot of pieces (furniture or accessories). What does matter is what those pieces are. Our home staging Atlanta projects are designed around the demographics of the buyer as well as the style of the home.

Here are a few home staging before and after pictures:

About Grant Park in Atlanta from Wikipedia:

Grant Park is also the in-town neighborhood surrounding Grant Park, and is Atlanta's largest historic neighborhood. It includes the 88 acres or 35 hectares of Oakland Cemetery(established 1850), where Margaret Mitchell, Bobby Jones, 25 former mayors of Atlanta, six former governors of Georgia, and many Civil War dead are buried.

Grant Park Home Staging in Atlanta Georgia Before and After Pictures

Will home staging this Grant Park home in Atlanta, Georgia help it sell more quickly?

I firmly believe that it will.  Home staging, when done properly, will absolutely help to engage the buyer on an emotional level.

Using the "eye-of-the-buyer" in all of my home staging design plans, my goal is to capture the essence of the home and make it appealing to a broad base of prospective buyers.

Here are a few before and after pictures of this Grant Park home we home staged just yesterday.

Atlanta Home Stager

Did They Pick The Right Atlanta Home Stager?

My client thinks so.  He just sent me an email indicating that the house we home staged in Atlanta at the end of December and placed on the market on the 28th of December, is under contract (that’s 17 days on the market). He’s thrilled, the agent is happy and I’m over the moon.

You may remember this home pictured below as I had posted a blog regarding whether the paneling should be painted. That post received a lot of comments and provided proof that the majority do believe that it’s beneficial to have it painted.

As for whether or not they picked the right Atlanta Home Stager – they interviewed several home stagers. In addition, they paid a visit to one of my staged homes so that they could see first-hand the style I use in my stagings. I encouraged that visit and glad they made the time.

Here are two pictures of the living room.  One is before being professionally home staged and the other is the after picture:

The Home Michelle Minch Helped Me Home Stage

East Coast Stager Meets West Coast Stager

A few weeks ago, I got lucky. Michelle Minch was visiting Atlanta and I happened to have a staging scheduled during her visit. Before Michelle arrived, we had spoken on the phone numerous times. She mentioned that she'd be glad to help if I happened to have a staging that needed to be done while she was here.  Fortunately for me, I did. And what a treat it was. I've always admired Michelle's work and the thought of having her here to do a staging was thrilling.

Here are a couple before and after pictures of the home Michelle help me stage.

Kitchen Before being staged.  NOTE: This home is NOT occupied. The homeowners had purchased a new home a cuple of miles away. At the time the "before" pictures were taken, the home was going thru some minor renovations.

 

Kitchen before being professionally home staged

With the renovations completed, we were able to bring in our accessories and stage the home. Here's the after picture:

A special note of thanks to Michelle Minch with Moving Mountains Design! It was a treat like none other to have you stage with me.

Model Home Staging in Atlanta Georgia

Model Home Staging in Atlanta, Georgia

Years ago, it was recommended that I NOT focus on model homes. Instead, it was suggested that I "leave that up to the interior decorating companies that exists as they're the pros." By golly, that was all I needed. Based on my success with home staging resale homes, I knew with all the certainty in the world that I could stage a model home.

I was right.

In the past four years, I've had the good fortune of staging many model homes throughout Atlanta.  In fact, one of the homes was featured on the front page of the living section in the Atlanta Journal Constitution. Prior to the article coming out, we had 9 homes under contract in less than 2 weeks. 

So what made staging model homes a reality for my company?

  • I was on a mission. I knew that I could provide an cost effective solution that would save the builders and investors thousands of dollars.
  • I applied the same logic as I did with my home staging projects. Buyers need to emotionally connect with the home. Nothing new there. 
  • I listened. Understanding the demographics of the buyer helped define what we would be bringing into the home.

Here are a couple of close-up pictures of some the accessories used:

Our affordable rates make it perfect for staging model homes throughout Atlanta.

This model home resides in Bristol at Briarcliff in Dekalb County.

Sex Sells and So Does Home Staging. Just Sayin...

Sex Sells and So Does Home Staging.  Just Sayin

Here's why:

Let's take this room as an example.  This is what it looked like before being professionally home staged by Georgia Interior Solutions (homestagingatlanta.com). Not very warm and inviting; is it? In fact, this sitting room is just plain boring looking.  Think it will impress the buyers? It hasn't.

 

Atlanta Home Staging Before Picture

Now here's the room after we staged it:

Home Staging Atlanta After Picture

 

Through home staging:

  • Buyers can now envision living in the home
  • Will become much more emotionally connected to the home
  • Are given solutions with how to use the space
And the list goes on.

If you're thinking it doesn't matter to a buyer, I can assure you that it does. After having staged hundreds of homes throughout Atlanta, I know first-hand what an impact staging can have on a vacant home.  Just Sayin....

For tips on how to decorate a small sitting room, visit our blog site at Atlanta Home Stager Info.
