It's a Classic Line! Treat it with Integrity!

It's the Home Stager's Classic Line! And, rightfully should be! It helps the home owner understand, it brings peace to the stress of the sale. It brings legitimacy to the value of marketing preparation of a home for sale. It puts the truth of the matter in the forefront.

THE WAY WE LIVE IN A HOME IS DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY WE MARKET A HOME FOR SALE . . .

Every ounce of my home staging effort is dedicated to the value of this statement when it comes to staging an occupied home. I have no need to post before pictures on the Internet because that is how they LIVED in the home. How they lived in the home is not what's on the market. What is on the market should be the best features of the home. That's the value I know how to bring to the market!

That being said, I am anxious to show you my pictures of a recently staged occupied home located in Peachtree City, Fayette County, GA and the marketing results, and client comments. This shows what I have created to assist the Realtor and assist the home seller in getting a quick sale and a top dollar offer.

Realtor comment:

"Karen, I could not have been more pleased with your staging service. You helped transform the home and were great with my clients."

How they lived in the house was their business, how they present the house for sale is my business!

With home staging becoming more and more popular across the country there is an overwhelming consensus within the Home Staging Industry to unite to share and develop ideas the will benefit home sellers, realtors and home stagers. Therefore 27 round table discussion groups are being organized across the country at the local level and at regular intervals.

The discussion groups, known as Stage It Forward Round Tables, are demonstrating how easy and beneficial it is to have local home staging professionals come together to facilitate positive industry growth. Discussions focus on how the home staging industry can move forward in a way that empowers all the entities that are working hard to prosper. Equally, discussions concentrate on the home staging industry providing professional services that aide the home seller, the Realtor and also helps boost the real estate industry.

These meetings are an extension of the Stage It Forward social network of Home Stagers on ActiveRain.com. This home staging social network group, which has over 1,500 members nationwide, was founded by Craig Schiller of Real Estaging out of Chicago. Craig was the initial energy behind the Round Tables discussion together across North America. He has now facilitated three (Phoenix, Sacramento and Chicago) of the twenty-seven scheduled discussion groups.

The first Stage It Forward Round Table discussion held in the state of Georgia was on Thursday, January 17, 2008. Approximately 40 home stagers in the Atlanta Metropolitan area joined together to participate in the event. The event was held at IKEA in Atlanta, located at Atlantic Station. IKEA is an invaluable resource for home stagers. Stage It Forward is thrilled that IKEA is providing the home stagers with meeting space, designer tours and several drawings for IKEA gift certificates.

The Georgia event was facilitated by Kathy Nielsen of Georgia Interior Solutions LLC out of Marietta and by Karen Dembsky of Peachtree Home Staging based out of Peachtree City. Both companies serve all of Metropolitan Atlanta. Karen and Kathy have been actively involved in the staging business for multiple years. Kathy Nielsen has been acknowledged for her dedication to the field by being a 2007 RESA Professional Home Stager of the Year Nominee.
