Amy Powers Home Staging in Atlanta, GA

I have had the privelege of being the President of the RESA Cherokee, GA Chapter. With this has come the opportunity to participate in different events. One in particular is the Holiday Show house, me and 4 other stagers worked on. It was a traditional 1.1 million dollar home with 5 bedrooms, 1 media room, keeping/breakfast, grand room, formal library and dining room.

Check out this link on the Chapter and pics from the house. Click here.

I am very proud of my colleagues that worked with me. We had real team players and professionalism in ethics and attitude.

I also want to thank Karen Dembesky, our RESA State President, for coming by the home to tour and support her members.

5 Reasons why staging works

09-01-08
Amy Powers Home Staging in Atlanta, GA

home staging (hom stag’jing) n. 1. The process of preparing your property for sale by setting the scene throughout the house to create immediate buyer interest in your property. 2. Proven way to increase the chances of your property selling in a timely manner.

5 Reasons why staging works
(1) Professionally staged houses present better than competing houses for sale, including new houses and higher priced houses.
(2) Staged properties accelerate the list to sold time in slow markets.
(3) Staged properties can increase offers and selling prices in hot markets.
(4) Buyers’ agents recognize that professionally staged listings are "move-in" ready and are inclined to show your house.
(5) Photos of professionally staged listings look better in print and web media.

5 Things to consider when hiring a stager
(1) Watch out for Accredidation - any one can be accreditted if they pay the money, but that does not make for a great stager.
(2) What is their strategy? Consultation. Vacancies. Occupied homes. Is it clear?
(3) Are they a member of a network or association, for example RESA or ASHSR?
(4) Are they committed to community projects?
(5) Interview your stager. Verify their references, view their portfolio and understand their contract. Make sure your professional stager will meet your deadlines and expectations. Get it in writing! Make sure your project is outlined with fees, timelines, expectations, cancellation policies etc.

Your staging experience should be a positive one. Professional stagers are trained to see what you can’t see. Remember that staging is not about YOU or your personal taste. It is simply about merchandising your property to appeal to more buyers, increasing the chances of selling in a timely manner.

5 "Insider" tips on getting a home ready for the market
(1) Depersonalize - very important, safety, buyer identity, etc.
(2) Declutter - A buyer does not want to see another person's mess...
(3) Develop the senses - aroma, visual, sensual
(4) Define spaces correctly
(5) Detail - Add character without personalizing

Fall in not so hot Metro-Atlanta

08-30-08
Amy Powers Home Staging in Atlanta, GA

My favorite time of year is knocking on the door. Fall! The crisp air, cool nights, trips to the mountains, apple pies and beautiful colors, a design palate worth noticing.

This year, fall will be extremely fun for me. I am in a play called Halloween Dreams, ironically directed by a fellow stager, Andrea Redd. It is at the Acworth, Theater on Main. The show will be playing October 3 - 26. It is a fun family show, a series of murders have occurred and Chestnut Hollow must find the killer before Halloween.

Also, I was just offered a role in The Reddoor Playhouse Improv Troupe in Roswell, GA. If you ever enjoyed, "Who's Line Is It Anyway", you enjoyed Improv. Our first performance is Sept. 27.

As the leaves begin to drop and your season's change, I encourage you to notice the beauty and fun around you. I would love for you to see one of the performances mentioned above.


On a professional note, if you need an experienced Home Stager, call Amy Powers today @ 678-978-1377.
