Staging #4: Pictures

February 23, 2010

My wife just finished up her fourth staging job for an outside investor. The investor hired her to stage a particularly challenging property — one that certainly benefited from staging — due to its unique layout. It’s a 1950s ranch which has undergone a complete renovation, including removing (and moving!) several walls for [...]

Staging #3: Sold

February 16, 2010

Our Staging Project #3 that we did for a local investor sold last week (congrats to Steve!)…
We staged this property last month…it was a condo in a nice section of Atlanta (Buckhead), and to be honest I’m a little surprised it sold so quickly. Not because it wasn’t a great property, but there were [...]

Update for 1/29/2010

January 29, 2010

Very quick update on all the houses and other stuff going on…
House #1: The Corn House
According to the credit repair company we have them set up with, the lease-purchase tenants may be close to qualifying for an FHA loan. I don’t know if that’s actually the case, but we plan to have them [...]

Staging #3: Pictures

January 6, 2010

My wife finished her third official staging project about two weeks ago…
The property was a low-end condo in the Buckhead area of Atlanta. Because the list price is relatively low, the investor she was staging for didn’t want to spend very much on the staging, so they agreed to do just a [...]

December 21, 2009

I haven’t had a chance to post in a couple days because I’ve been out of town, so I thought I’d give a quick update on everything we have going on these days…
House #1: The Corn House
Nothing much new with The Corn House. The lease-purchase tenants are consistently paying their rent, and their [...]

Staging #3: Second Buckhead

December 9, 2009

The investor who hired my wife to stage his Buckhead property last week was absolutely thrilled with the results (see pics here), as we were confident he would be. After receiving the pictures we took of the final product, he has listed his property on the MLS at $399,000, which is perfectly reasonable for [...]

Staging #2: Pictures

December 4, 2009

As I mentioned last week, shortly after finishing up the model apartment in Tallahassee, my wife got her second staging gig for a local investor. He asked her to stage his vacant 3 bedroom, 2 bath house in an upscale part of Atlanta, which he was hoping to put on the market this weekend…
My [...]

Staging #2: Buckhead House

November 28, 2009

We met with the owner of the Tallahassee apartment complex where my wife staged a model home (see pictures) last week, and he was absolutely thrilled with the work. He also spent some time at The Poor House taking a look at the staging we do for our own flips…
After seeing all the work [...]

Staging #1: Pictures

November 23, 2009

My wife, our baby and I headed down to Tallahassee last week so that my wife could complete her first official staging job — a model apartment for a 350-unit complex.
The trip went great…with all the preparations we did beforehand (ordering furniture, buying accessories, etc), the whole job probably could have gotten done in a [...]
