This home has been vacant and under renovation for quite some time. For those of you unfamiliar with Atlanta, GA, this sweet little property is an older home just blocks from Emory University. Emory University is also one of the Southeast's leading health care systems.
There are several midtown Atlanta area neighborhoods, that are walking distance from Emory University and Emory Village.

This house captured my heart the first time I saw it! The home was vacant, but I immediately saw my presentation!
It's not fancy or high end. It's comfy, charming, and quite livable. The condition of the home is impeccable . . . the very defintiion of "well-maintained".
So there are all those tax credits for first time homebuyers, which is ANY ONE, really, who hasn't owned a home in the last three years.

#8 best place to live! Peachtree City, GA
Go to the just released August issue of Money Magazine and you will see why the Atlanta Suburb -- Peachtree City, is my home.
Yes, I provide home staging services all over Atlanta, in-town and the complete Metro Area. I home stage all over Atlanta, from Dunwoody to Mid-Town, from Newnan to Norcross, Buckhead to McDonough, Virginia Highlands to Morningside . . . but one spot is what I call home!
I've been an Atlanta area resident for 29 years now, so I know my way around. It's all home, but one spot in particular, Peachtree City, is where I hang my hat!
Here's what Money Magazine has to say:
#8 best place to live! Peachtree City, GA
WINNER
Top 100 rank: 8
Population: 34,500
Unemployment: 7.4%
"Ask any family why they chose to put down roots in this Atlanta suburb and you'll get three answers. First, the expected: an excellent school system and low crime (the lowest rate of any small town in the state). Then the unexpected: the golf carts.
Planned in 1959, Peachtree City contains five "villages" that are connected not only by standard roads but also by 90 miles of wooded golf-cart paths. Children drive carts to school, families to either of two 250-acre lakes, and yes, golfers to any of the three courses in town.
While the jobless rate isn't teeny, it's two percentage points below the national average. And opportunities nearby are growing: ATM builder NCR and construction equipment maker Sany plan to add a total of 1,400 positions in the next two years."

Home Stagers and REALTORS: Consider yourself forewarned of your illegal actions!
Federal Trade Commission's plan to change rules on ad endorsements, testimonials worries marketers
Extreme results, disclaimers to be overhauled by FTC
You may want to take heed and follow the link to the article above published by the Chicago Tribune.
BOTTOM LINE: The FTC is going to require advertisers to show typical results.
Yep, that right!
You know what that means! Home stagers and Realtors are facing a dramatic change in the home staging industry! After all, home stagers and Realtors are marketers striving to display the absolute most favorable property presentation possible.
But now, what if the FTC wants us to only display homes in a typical fashion???
Well, no more displaying a home for sale like this:
Now we are being instructed to show it in it's typical state:
Hmmm . . . I don't think anyone wins here . . . and yes, I know, I am being a little extreme (you know I am just kidding, right?) regarding the FTC coming after us.
The point I want to make is that good home staging is not an act.
Good home staging is a true enactment of real living options.
A good home staging presentation must be accurate in displaying how a room can be physically utilized.
Case in point, I recently staged a darling little bungalow home built in the 1930's located in Emory Village in Atlanta, Georgia.
The home had an upstairs bonus room with a full SPA bath. Check out the following photos of the stair well.
Narrow space for sure! Now here is the Bonus room located at the top of the stairs.
Because there is a full bath and a huge walk in closet, it would make sense to show this as a Master suite which was the preference of the sellers and the Realtor. However, a queen box spring would not fit up the staircase. I could get two twins up the stairs to form a king, but no wall was large enough to hold a king bed.
It was suggested to do a blowup queen mattress on boxes, but I just couldn't do it. Yes, physically I could do it. But, ethically, I could not.
WHY? Because, logically, the buyer couldn't live like that. I mean, really now, who wants a blow up mattress for their nightly rest in their master suite?
This upstairs needed furnishing that can be assembled out of the box once the box is carried up. A dresser, or chest will not make it through the narrow opening. I felt determined to demonstrate that in a positive way.
Here's the end result:
The perfect staging solution! The 1st floor has a small parlor/living area, a dining area, kitchenette, two bedrooms and a full bath. Thanks to honest staging the buyer can now appreciate the exceptional "get away" space for their entertainment needs located on the upper level.
I think the FTC would be proud of me!

Here is how a smart Atlanta Realtor won a listing over competing Realtors . . .
Background: the client lives out of state and has a vacant home in Atlanta to sell. Because of many conflicts, the seller can not come to Atlanta to interview Realtors. The Seller looked on line and found Realtors that had superb REALTOR.COM photographs for their current listings. He contacted a friend to hold the house open and invited the few Realtors he selected via the photos to visit the property and e-mail him with their proposal to list and sell the home for him.
One of those Realtors called me and asked me if I would mind going with her to view the property and advise her regarding staging and the cost.
My Response: I WOULD LOVE TO! :-)
We viewed the property together and noted that she was the only Realtor there accompanied by a home stager.
So now it's time for this savvy Realtor to respond and try to win this listing with no face to face contact . . .
Here some excepts from this Realtor's e-mail response to the seller:
". . . Having now gone over the comparable properties in the area and viewed what is selling, what is not, etc., it is our belief that your home certainly has the potential to sell quickly and for the top dollar this market will bring if you are willing to follow the "formula" that we believe is responsible for our success.
That would mean having the home properly staged and videoed, correctly priced, and extensively marketed. . . .
. . . I am forwarding the proposal to you that I asked our stager to prepare so that you would know what those costs would be (see attached monetary proposal and written agreement from Peachtree Home Staging) . . .
. . . I would like to share with you a partial list of the days on market we have recently experienced using Peachtree Home Staging and our videographer.
. . . days on market: Bellperche (89 days), Lovejoy (28 days), Cordeiro (26 days), Cooper (27 days), Hayes (90 days), Moore (14 days.)
. . . We would certainly love to list your home using the above plan and would aggressively market it to the best of our ability. We only list homes that we truly believe can become a happy statistic that we will gladly share with future sellers . . . "
She got the listing HANDS DOWN! More importantly though the seller has won. Excellent Realtor and having it staged and professionally videoed is going to help it sell!
I'll post before and after pictures of the home in July

Home Stager staging in Atlanta, Atlanta Metro, Alpharetta, Douglasville, Dunwoody, Fayetteville, Lawrenceville, Lilburn, Marietta, McDonough, Newnan, Norcross, Peachtree City, Roswell, Sandy Spring
Peachtree Home Staging in Atlanta is a member of the Greater Atlanta Better Business Bureau and BB on-line PeachtreeHomeStaging.com and proudly serves all of the Atlanta Metropolitan Area
Peachtree Home Staging is dedicated to making your home sale a triumphant affair!
Peachtree Home Staging, LLC was founded by Karen Dembsky, a metro Atlanta resident for the past 27 years. Karen started her career teaching home economics, including interior design. After five years in education, Karen enjoyed a successful career in corporate sales and marketing.
During this time Karen bought different homes for her own living use, decorated them, and sold them. Two of them sold during the first month on the market for asking price and two of them sold the first day on the market above asking price!
When it was time to seek a new challenge, Karen became a Georgia licensed Realtor and has since served many clients both selling and buying properties. Through this experience, and feedback she continually receives from clients, Karen recognized the benefits her keen artistic eye provided to those she represented.
Karen uses her real estate expertise and artistic talent as a home stager to evaluate each room in detail for its general appeal and "WOW" factors.
Karen explains, "You only have one opportunity to make that first impression. Buyers only come back for a second round when the home appealed to them during the first visit. Buyers form their opinions quickly and your home is either in the running or forgotten. Buyers need to see what they like right off the bat, and then you need to keep that momentum going from room to room."
Karen's vast experience in real estate has taught her the importance of conscientiously determining each home's negatives and positives.
Since that time Karen has now successfully staged hundreds of homes in the metro Atlanta areaincluding Buckhead, Sandy Springs, Roswell, Dunwoody, Decatur, Midtown, Atlantic Station, Peachtree City, Alpharetta, Vinings Fayetteville, McDonough, Riverside . . . and the list goes on.
"We all have different needs in a home, and frequently it is overwhelming for the home buyer to recognize the perfect fit for them when a home is cluttered, dated, too personalized or displayed in a way that does not reflect its potential to be inviting and functional." Karen further states, "By accentuating the positives, buyers can better recognize how the home may work for them.
Karen assisted a homeowner in staging their home for sale and then provided after photos for the Internet. They received a great offer the very next day! The buyers saw the photos on the Internet and made their offer prior to ever physically viewing the home!
"Remember,you are selling a HOUSE, a property; space. Disassociate yourself. When you buy a computer, you buy a shell that has the space to hold the items you want and need, software that makes it functional, and tutorials that demonstrate how it is best used. A potential home buyer is shopping for a house; functional space that they can make their home. Peachtree Home Staging creates the demo. That's what the buyer needs to see."
