      <title>Is Your Home Capturing the Buyers Off the Internet?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Is Your Home Capturing the Buyers Off the Internet?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the case of this home (see before picture below), we have a completely vanilla kitchen (minus my bin of accessories, of course). The cabinets are white. The appliances are white and we have a light-color countertop. If left empty, it's likely the buyers, when searching the Internet, would likely find nothing appealing about this kitchen. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;If you're selling your home, your objective should be to make the &quot;short list.&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; The short list is comprised of the homes they've viewed off the Internet that are &quot;worthy&quot; of seeing first-hand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once a buyer settles on a location, price and size of the home (for example, quantity of bedrooms), they will next look for those that are most appealing. &lt;strong&gt;Herein lies the greatest opportunity for a seller. &lt;/strong&gt;If your home is vacant, dress it up. Trust me. As a &lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager&quot;&gt;professional home stager in Atlanta&lt;/a&gt;, I've had the good fortune in having helped hundreds throughout metro Atlanta to help sell their home quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's an example of a home we staged last week in Roswell, Georgia:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitchen Before Home Staging:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's how the home now looks on the Internet:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Staging your home, whether your hire a professional or do it yourself, will absolutely make a difference as it relates to capturing the buyers off the Internet.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>YARD STAGING TIPS</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's an awesome set of &lt;strong&gt;yard staging tips&lt;/strong&gt; brought to you by Corinne Kaas, a &lt;strong&gt;home stager out of New York City. &lt;/strong&gt;If you have a home you're looking to sell in NYC, Corinne Kaas with &lt;a href=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/&quot; title=&quot;New York City Home Stager&quot;&gt;Harmonizing Homes&lt;/a&gt; makes the perfect solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kathy&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Via &lt;b&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com/blogsview/1758122/yard-staging-tips&quot;&gt;Corinne Kaas (Harmonizing Homes LLC)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Over the weekend I&amp;nbsp;wrote a a blog&amp;nbsp;about a&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;house that was for sale which had no&amp;nbsp;curb appeal.&amp;nbsp; Although the house was cute, it lacked that slow the car down and check out this house.&amp;nbsp; Your yard believe it or not has to impress potential buyers...its the first impression.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Here are some tips for staging your yard by &lt;a href=&quot;http://WWW.NYCHOMESTAGER.COM&quot; title=&quot;Harmonzing Homes&quot;&gt;Harmonizing Homes&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your front lawn is the first thing that buyers see when they drive by, so make sure your lawn is cut, and edged.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Prune any branches that may be hiding your home, as we saw in the picture in my blog &quot;what is wrong with this house&quot; the house was hidden by this tree, which needed to be pruned.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Mulch around the trees and garden it will look so much neater and fresh&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Edge all of your flower gardens...all you have to really do is use a straight edge shovel&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Power wash everything...your side walks, deck, house ....cleanness counts&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Plant some flowers for color if you don't have flowers planted, or pot some flowers for your walk way or steps.&amp;nbsp; This time of year it is a bit difficult however, there are still Zinnia's out which are nice a bright and the mums will be hitting the market soon.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_01831.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Flower Box by Harmonizing Homes&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_01831.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Flower Box&quot; src=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_01831-150x150.jpg&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hang some window boxes.... you can fill the window boxes with seasonal flowers and Kale for the fall&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Create an outside seating area - a small converstional area perhaps around a fire pit.&amp;nbsp; Place some potted palms around.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;dt&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_01841.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;out door leaving&quot; src=&quot;http://nychomestager.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/DSC_01841-300x209.jpg&quot; height=&quot;209&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/dt&gt;&lt;dd&gt;Staging by Harmonzing Homes&lt;/dd&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Don't under estimate the power of curb appeal.....The appeal will get the potential buyers to at least stop and write down the address and phone number of the agent.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Harmony.........&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;agent_signature&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/0/4/0/0/ar127870309600407.jpg&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Banner&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Will Dated Furniture Hinder The Sale of Your Home?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Will Dated Furniture Hinder The Sale of Your Home?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A common practice for homeowners with vacant properties is to utilize furniture that they have hanging around.&lt;strong&gt; They make the assumption, and with reason, that &lt;em&gt;something&lt;/em&gt;&amp;nbsp;in the room is better than leaving it vacant.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;And while most buyers benefit from seeing furniture placed in a room, dated furniture has its drawbacks. Here are just a few:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The dated furniture can, and does, nine times out of ten,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;date your home&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Dated furniture &lt;strong&gt;will NOT appeal to a &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;broad base&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;strong&gt; of prospective buyers&lt;/strong&gt;. In fact, your home will likely be a turn-off to the young buyers&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Buyers &lt;strong&gt;viewing your home on the internet &lt;/strong&gt;are likely to pass&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Case in point - while on my way to de-stage a home in Grant Park last week, I received a call from a prospect that was relatively close by to where I was de-staging. She asked if I could come over to see her home which has been on the market for 6 months.&amp;nbsp;Armed with only my cell phone to take pictures, I snapped the two before pictures below. I apologize for the poor quality. While the iphone 4 is incredible, the camera, well... not so much (smile).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;As you can see in the before and after pictures, there's a huge difference in the look and feel of the home.&amp;nbsp;The up-to-date furniture combined with new accessories, help achieve a look that's fresh and appealing.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Semi-Staged.  Is it Effective?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Semi-Staged. &amp;nbsp;Is it Effective?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let me start by sharing an example of what I mean when I say &quot;semi-staged.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/6/0/9/4/0/ar127893927104906.jpg&quot; height=&quot;266&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta before picture keeping room&quot; width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As you can see in the photo above, there are a few accessories scattered on the bookshelves. The homeowner had added these to help warm up the space. Don't get me wrong, the accessories were a nice touch. &amp;nbsp;However, if you look closely, you'll see the light fixture in the forefront of the picture. &amp;nbsp;This room actually served as the eat-in and a great place for the family to gather for dinners.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The challenge for the homeowners, with this semi-staged room, is that buyers were not able to envision HOW to use this room.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After months on the market without a single offer, the homeowners called on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.homestagingatlanta.com/services.htm&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging&quot;&gt;Home Staging Atlanta's premier staging company&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;Georgia Interior Solutions&lt;/strong&gt; to assist with getting it sold quickly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's what we did:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Georgia Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/7/1/7/ar127893983571702.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta After Picture Keeping Room&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The simple addition of the table and chairs really made a difference. Combine that with the two accent chairs and a few added accessories (art, books, greenery, etc...) and the room came to life.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The results - home was under contract in less than 6 weeks after having been professional home staged.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;agent_signature&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/0/4/0/0/ar127870309600407.jpg&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Banner&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Atlanta Home Staging - Same House. Second Time Staging</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A couple of years ago, I had the distinct pleasure of &lt;strong&gt;home staging this home in Atlanta, Georgia.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I remember the agent calling me only a few weeks later with the good news that the home was under contract. We were all pleased. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fast forward two years.... the owners received confirmation that they would be moving to California for a job transfer. &amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;They were so impressed with how the home looked when they made the purchase that they wanted the same home stager (me) to stage the home.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I suppose this was bound to happen as I've been professionally staging homes throughout Atlanta for almost 5 years. And for those that may be wondering if it's a new agent or not - they are using the same one who originally listed two years ago.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's the home as it appeared two years ago when I first staged it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/7/2/4/0/ar127772658004275.jpg&quot; height=&quot;405&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta After Picture Kitchen&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's how it looks now, after the 2nd staging. Please note that the following is NOT a picture I had taken. After having staged the home, the owners were having cleaning people brought in to do a thorough cleaning. I'll be back this week to take my own photos and will post a few other rooms.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Active Rain Home Staging &amp;ldquo;Before and After&amp;rdquo; Picture Contest&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Home Stagers &amp;ndash; It&amp;rsquo;s your time to shine!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;For years, I&amp;rsquo;ve had the distinct pleasure of posting my before and after pictures in Active Rain. &amp;nbsp;During those years, I&amp;rsquo;ve had numerous clients contact me as a direct result of having posted my pictures. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;Home Stagers - I want the same for YOU!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt; As a result, I&amp;rsquo;ve solicited the approval of running an Active Rain contest that focuses on your best home staging projects. &lt;strong&gt;The winners will receive 3,000 points for 1st place, 2,000 points for 2nd place and 1,000 points for 3rd place.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;To enter - Simply post your home staging before and after pictures to this post in the comments. &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;If you are having difficulties uploading pictures, please read the following (which was provided by Active Rain):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&quot;After we upgraded the site, we placed strict limits on how long actions could take &amp;ndash; this is one of the reasons ActiveRain runs so quickly now. That limit is 30 seconds. When a user tries to upload a large image, sometimes their internet connection is too slow to finish in time, and they receive a &quot;Bad Gateway&quot; or &quot;Proxy Error&quot; message. Until we work out a solution, we recommend that users crop or otherwise downsize large images before adding them to an ActiveRain blog post.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot;&gt;Winners will be announced shortly after the 16th.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoListParagraphCxSpLast&quot;&gt;I can't wait to see your home staging before and after pictures! Thanks in advance for participating and best of luck to you all!&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Home Staging Investment Properties in Atlanta</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Staging for an Atlanta Investor - &lt;/strong&gt;As a home stager in Atlanta, where all the testimonials on my site are in fact mine (smile), I've thoroughly enjoyed working with the Atlanta investors. While the process can be a little different, they are a joy to stage.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is an example of a home we staged last week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here's what the room looks like when the furniture has been delivered. &amp;nbsp;I typically have it placed in the &quot;general&quot; area. However, I've been known to make multiple changes to the layout. &lt;strong&gt;As any professional home stager will tell you, the furniture, accessories, layout, etc... are NOT about the homeowner. Instead, it's about the buyer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/6/8/2/2/ar127651875022861.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Home Staging Before picture den&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's the end result:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/8/1/8/ar12765188281802.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta After Picture Den&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This &lt;strong&gt;Atlanta investor&lt;/strong&gt; made some wonderful renovations to the kitchen as you can see below. My job as an &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot;&gt;Atlanta Home Stager&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; is to help the buyer emotionally connect to the home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;By design, I don't overload the home with accessories. Instead, I need to compliment the style of the home and use tasteful items that help make it as appealing as possible.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>It's One Thing to Steal My Content. It's Another to STEAL My Testimonials</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It's One Thing to Steal My Content. It's Another to STEAL My Testimonials!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the recent past, I've found that others have stolen my content from my website. As if that wasn't bad enough, &lt;strong&gt;I just found someone who has TAKEN one of my testimonials. &lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To say I'm furious is an understatement. As ANYONE, in ANY profession will tell you, a testimonial is like GOLD and represents all the hard effort you put into the job at-hand. Testimonials don't come easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally, I work hard as a professional home stager in Atlanta and strive to do the very best job at each and every staging. When I receive a testimonial from either an agent, a homeowner, an investor (whomever), it's something I cherish.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Back to the individual at hand - Not only is this person a thief, he is a liar. &amp;nbsp;I don't like liars and I don't know anyone that does. He is mis-leading the public. &lt;strong&gt;That to me, is absolutely unacceptable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And to make matters worse, he resides here in Atlanta. In addition to stealing my testimonial, he has duplicated 22% of my site. &amp;nbsp;That too won't be tolerated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As the Real Estate Staging Association's (RESA) Ethics Chairperson, I take these matters extremely seriously. As a human being, it's unacceptable.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's the testimonial he has STOLEN (this was taken directly from his website):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;We had heard that staging would help to sell homes quicker and for top dollar, but weren't sure it was worth it. Nohow would have to agree! We held an Open House 2 days after the house was staged and ended up with 2 offers the next day! The house was under contract that week. At the closing we asked the buyers whether or not the staging helped in making their decision and they said a definite &quot;Yes!&quot; They felt it helped them visualize how their furniture would work in the space and generally made it look more appealing.&amp;nbsp;We would definitely use a Home Stager again!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is MY testimonial that I worked hard for:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;We had heard that staging would help to sell homes quicker and for top dollar, but weren&amp;rsquo;t sure it was worth it.&amp;nbsp; Now we would have to agree!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We held an Open House 2 days after the house was staged and ended up with 2 offers the next day! The house was under contract that week.&amp;nbsp; At the closing we asked the buyers whether or not the staging helped in making their decision and they said a definite &amp;ldquo;Yes!&amp;rdquo;.&amp;nbsp; They felt it helped them visualize how their furniture would work in the space and generally made it look more appealing.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My testimonial includes the following of which he did not copy:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Kathy was also amazing to work with and went way above and beyond what she was compensated for. Not only did she decorate our flip home beautifully, but she also helped us finish some touchups with our flooring and cabinets while waiting for the furniture to be delivered! Thanks so much, Kathy. You are a gem!&amp;nbsp; We will definitely use Georgia Interior Solutions again!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On a final note: &amp;nbsp;There's only ONE person who deserved that testimonial and it wasn't him.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;agent_signature&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Home Staging for an Atlanta Investor</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Home Staging for an Atlanta Investor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was a busy bee this morning with &lt;strong&gt;staging this home for an Atlanta investor&lt;/strong&gt;. I'm pleased to say that all went well. The investor met me at the house as I was taking pictures. &amp;nbsp;She loves how the home came out. &amp;nbsp;So do I (smile).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are some before and after pictures&lt;/strong&gt;:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitchen before: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;As you can see, it's a beautiful kitchen&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/9/1/4/6/ar127568588864195.jpg&quot; height=&quot;530&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Kitchen Before Picture&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Kitchen after: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;Here's how Home Staging Atlanta helps to capture the buyers on an emotional level:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/5/3/6/0/ar127568663106355.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Home Staging After Picture Kitchen&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Living Room Before: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;It's hard to tell that this is the living room. The pictures on MLS left the buyers guessing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/5/7/5/7/ar127568616575755.jpg&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Living Room Before&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Living Room After: &lt;/strong&gt;This new look eliminates the guessing game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/9/4/2/2/ar127568656622492.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging After Picture - Living room&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Close-up of Island: &amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;I just loved how this turned out. &amp;nbsp;Notice my signature green apples?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/2/0/6/1/3/ar127568636131602.jpg&quot; height=&quot;402&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging Close-up&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Home Staging Sandy Springs, Georgia</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Home Staging Sandy Springs, Georgia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It seems forever since I've been able to post. To say I've been busy is an understatement. Truth be told, I wouldn't have it any other way. Our staged listings are flying off the shelf as soon as we stage them.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And to boot, I&lt;strong&gt;'ve got some incredible announcements I'll be making shortly. Two of which will have a direct impact on the home stagers&lt;/strong&gt;. I'm super excited and can't wait to share the news with you. More on that subject to come shortly, so.... please stay tuned.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the interim, here is a set of before and after pictures of a home we staged last week in Sandy Springs, Georgia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As you can see in this before picture, this family room served as the area for the eat-in kitchen as well.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here is the after picture:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A BIG Thank You to Michelle Minch with Moving Mountains Design from Los Angeles, California for helping me stage this beautiful home.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Measuring Your Success As a Home Stager</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Measuring your success as a home stager&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Personally, I measure my success based on how quickly a home goes under contract after staging. Others may believe that the quantity of homes one has staged at the same time is a good indication. There's definitely two sides of every coin and I'm not here to suggest that having a large quantity of homes staged is a bad thing. I currently have 17 homes staged at the moment. To me, that's more of an indication that my marketing efforts are working (yes, I blog on &lt;a href=&quot;http://activerain.com&quot; title=&quot;Active Rain&quot;&gt;Active Rain&lt;/a&gt; actively and I'm here to tell you it has helped tremendously).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here are just a few recent examples of our &lt;strong&gt;Home Staging Atlant&lt;/strong&gt;a projects that have sold recently:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3381/4606555856_223f543167_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;159&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Amberly Kitchen Before 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1264/4605941413_8b94cebfda_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;161&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Amberly Kitchen After 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The home above has been &lt;strong&gt;on the market for 2 years prior to being professional home staged&lt;/strong&gt;. In the first week of staging, the sellers received an offer but declined. Three weeks later, they had two simultaneous offers and the home went under contract. &lt;strong&gt;With multiple offers after staging, the home went under contract in less than 4 weeks after staging.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3412/4605941503_5522599927_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;159&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Dellwood LR Before 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3326/4605941475_0d7763ba9b_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;159&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Dellwood LR After 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The home above &lt;strong&gt;was on the market for 8 months prior to being home staged&lt;/strong&gt;. Within 2 weeks after staging, the home went under contract.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4605941673_e09f08232c_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;159&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Ormond Bathroom Before 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3339/4606556164_61e9ea0651_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;161&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Ormond Bathroom After 1&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The home above was staged prior to being placed on the market. &lt;strong&gt;Within 2 months of staging, the home went under contract and has since been de-staged.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4044/4605941535_2dabbb9819_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;240&quot; alt=&quot;Misty Valley Before 2&quot; width=&quot;181&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen wtih Georgia Interior Solutions 678-522-8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1353/4606556024_f5e4df1b93_m.jpg&quot; height=&quot;219&quot; alt=&quot;Misty Valley After 2&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This Atlanta investor opted to &lt;strong&gt;increase his original asking price by $20K after being professionally home staged&lt;/strong&gt;. Three weeks later, &lt;strong&gt;the home is now under contract at the full asking price.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The moral of the story.... blog on Active Rain (smile).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Is Your Home or Listing Making the Buyers Short List?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;Is your home or listing making the buyers short list?&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That &lt;strong&gt;&quot;short list&quot;&lt;/strong&gt; is serious business. &amp;nbsp;Buyers are absolutely using the Internet to narrow their search for their next home. How can you help make that &quot;short list?&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Tips&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/9/8/7/7/6/ar127366947967789.gif&quot; height=&quot;301&quot; alt=&quot;Tips on making the buyers short list&quot; width=&quot;145&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ensure the location of your home stands out.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Buyers will narrow their search based on location first.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Next,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;ensure the price of your home is clearly visible&lt;/strong&gt;. Once buyers narrow their search based on the location(s) they're interested in, they will next narrow it further by looking at the price of the home.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Load the listing up with beautiful pictures.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Listings with one photo or worse yet, no photos, &amp;nbsp;will NOT help you sell your home. Buyers will no doubt be looking for homes with pictures that show the exterior as well as the interior.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;P.S. I sure wish this women didn't look so angry. She really needs to smile more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As a &lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging company. Owner/Founder, Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot;&gt;professional home stager in Atlanta,&lt;/a&gt; I understand just how important the photos are to a listing. It's one of the reasons why I include them at no additional charge for all of the homes I stage.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are a few of my most recent projects (and some of my most favorite pictures) that were sent to the homeowners for their use in marketing the home.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Can Home Staging a $69K Home Help?</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Can Home Staging a $69K Home Help?&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Some may argue that having a $69K listing staged simply doesn't make sense. However, the &lt;strong&gt;Atlanta investor&lt;/strong&gt;, who has used me on his last four homes, would argue that it makes sense at any price point.&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Three of the four listings have gone under contract in less than one week&lt;/strong&gt;. &amp;nbsp;He's banking on a quick sale and I'm confident he'll get it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here's a close-up that I took earlier today in the room I staged as an office:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen, 678 522 8392&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1107/4599463467_6a73d0f395.jpg&quot; height=&quot;453&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Marietta Close-up Office&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Here are the before and after pictures of the living room:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta, Kathy Nielsen&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4016/4599463351_0a99c3c1b1.jpg&quot; height=&quot;332&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Marietta LR Before&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://homestagingatlanta.com&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging&quot;&gt;&lt;img class=&quot;slickr-post&quot; src=&quot;http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4018/4600081362_ae5fc9c9d8.jpg&quot; height=&quot;313&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Marietta LR&quot; width=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Home located in Marietta, Georgia and was professionally staged by Kathy Nielsen. All photos are copyright protected.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>No Worries.  We will work our magic and this home will look great.</title>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Home Staging Atlanta&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Let's start with the picture first so that you'll see exactly what I mean.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/3/1/1/8/ar127324067781133.jpg&quot; height=&quot;399&quot; alt=&quot;Home Staging Atlanta Before Picture&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Yes, the exterior matches the interior.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While I took over 30 pictures, I suspect that the only room that will be recognizable (after we've worked our magic) is this one of the formal living room as the fireplace is staying.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But, no worries,&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Home Staging Atlanta's premier home staging company,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.homestagingatlanta.com/services.htm&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging&quot;&gt;Georgia Interior Solutions&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;has partnered with an Atlanta investor to rock the Atlanta market.&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;We're on our 9th home. With his renovations, combined with my staging, we've never had a home sit longer on the market than 2 weeks. To see more of our before and after pictures of the homes we've staged, click on our &lt;a href=&quot;http://atlantahomestaging.net/home-staging-gallery/vacant-homes-before-after/&quot; title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Staging Portfolio&quot;&gt;Atlanta Home Staging Portfolio.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How will I help this Atlanta investor?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Define the layout. For this particular home, the biggest question asked was whether or not we should add another level. At this point, the answer is no. Instead, we intend to add to the back.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose flooring&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose lighting (canned lights, light fixtures, etc...)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Choose wall color&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;And the list goes on....&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;div&gt;So stay tuned. This will no doubt be one of the biggest transformations ever. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;agent_signature&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;___________________________________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img title=&quot;Atlanta Georgia Home Stager Kathy Nielsen 678 522 8392&quot; src=&quot;http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/0/4/0/0/ar127870309600407.jpg&quot; height=&quot;100&quot; alt=&quot;Atlanta Home Stager Banner&quot; width=&quot;600&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
