Occupied Home Staging in Atlanta - In 3 Easy Steps

As I explain to my prospects, the process of staging an occupied home is simple. 

Using a home I completed yesterday, I've taken the liberty of inserting pictures to further explain what the process is like.  I hope this helps anyone considering having their home professionally staged.

Step 1: 

A visit is made to the home and "before" pictures are taken.  At this point, a verbal consultation or a detailed consultation report is offered.  In addition to a verbal or detailed consultation, a third option; which is to have me come in once the to-do items are completed is offered.  In this case, the homeowner went with the verbal and elected to have me come back in for the final touches.

With the verbal consultation, assignments are given to the homeowner for them to complete.  In the picture below, this included removing the personal pictures, toys and to obtain added accessories (of which I had outlined).

Step 2:

With the homework assignments complete, I return to the home and am pretty much left with a blank canvas.  Here's a picture of what I'm referring to:

Home Staging Atlanta "Before" Picture 

Step 3:

We return to the home to re-arrange the furniture.  This is an important element given the fact that the objective is to showcase the features of the home as well as the space.  In this final step, the added accessories are placed in the room.

As you can see, the results provide a clean and sophisticated look.  Prospective buyers will now be able to see the features of the home and not be distracted by the homeowners things.

Wonderful transformation and explanation!  Thanks for sharing!
Posted by Susan Smith (Rooms That Work LLC) almost 5 years ago
Kathy as always you rock.  It was difficult to tell from the last picture that the furniture was theirs.  It all looks so pulled together.  I wish my owner occupied stagings could end up as effortless looking as yours did.

It's hard to believe that it's the same room! I love you did the 3-part transformation. Even the declutter makes a huge difference! But it's your last photo that really sold the idea that it's the accessories that make the homes warm & inviting.

 

Cheers,

Cindy

Karen - The sellers were the absolute best!!!  They not only did everything I had asked but did it in a matter of days!  I love your new tag line for me!!! 

Brian - Thank you!  The buyers are sure to fall in love with the home!

Cindy - I received an email from the client this morning stating it was FANTASTIC (3 times).  He and his wife both loved the look.  The decluttering, re-arranging and adding the accessories made for a wonderful transformation.  Thans for your kind words!

Very nicely done. You can tell these homeowners are serious about getting their home sold.

Rachel  - Thank you.  And yes, they are very determined.

Hey Kathy...I'm giving my word...FABULOUS!  And I mean it!  Great post with the 3 steps.  You really gave a great visual how it's done and how it really isn't staged by just removing the clutter.  You do great work!
Posted by Abby Roselli, Staten Island Home Stager (ALR Home Staging and Showcasing, LLC) almost 5 years ago
The step-by-step visual is great!  What a great way to illustrate the process.  I love the finished product, too.
Posted by Michelle Ewing, Riverside, CA (Trademark Realtors) almost 5 years ago
Kathy - Looks great. An excellent presentation of the process. Thanks for sharing.
Posted by Rhonda Rawlins (Glastonbury Home Staging) almost 5 years ago
Kathy, this room had great bones, but you couldn't tell in the first picture.  Much too much going on.  Your final picture showcases all the great features of the room.  You've done another wonderful job.  Betty
Posted by Betty Haney (Haney Consulting) almost 5 years ago
Kathy, you did a wonderful job as usual! Now how do I find clients with normal furniture?! LOL. This home definitely has good bones but you really made it shine!
Posted by Karla Davis, Orlando Home Staging Firm (Florida Home Staging & Redesign, Inc.) almost 5 years ago

Thank you, Karla!

Betty - You're right and... the homeowner recognized that fact as well.

Thanks, Rhonda.

Thanks, Michele and Abby.  Abby - a FABULOUS!  I'm honored.  Thank you.

Kathy,

It's hard to believe it's the same room -- you blew me away with this one!  The built-in shelves and the mantle look SO much better -- now your eye is drawn right to the fireplace itself instead of all that clutter that surrounded it before you waved your magic wand.

Fantastic blog to outline the steps of home staging, supported by photos that demonstrate the process. You've added your areas for Localism too.Great job here Kathy, #5

Kathy ~ again a beautiful transformation. When I look at the before photo in step 3 (even though it is uncluttered), the room still looks dreary. The after photo just shines.

Amazing...

 

Posted by Christine Trebendis ~ Rooms Revealed (Rooms Revealed) almost 5 years ago

Thanks, Maureen.  I know, it is hard to believe it's the same room.

Sue - So... do I wait until Monday to post this entry in the contest? 

Christine - Thank you!

Thanks, Maureen.  I too loved the clock as it was the perfect size and color for the room.
