Most people know Terry for her recurring role on HGTV’s hit show “Designed to Sell.” Now in her second season as one of the show’s featured real estate agents, Terry shows millions of viewers how staging a home, improving curb appeal and making low-cost improvements can help to sell a property at top dollar.

By giving sellers a $2,000 budget and a team of experts, “Designed to Sell” demonstrates how to turn a tired house into a showpiece. When it comes to the houses she views, Terry relishes an open floor plan, up-to-date bathrooms and a house with good “curb appeal.” And, when it comes to personal clutter, pets and dirt, she tells is like she sees it. Honest and critical without being cruel, Terry shows how a making a small investment before the open house can bring a big return at the closing.

Terry began her real estate career advising eager homebuyers in Atlanta. From the very start, Terry’s heartwarming smile put her customers at ease, carefully guiding them through what can often be overwhelming process. And, her in-depth knowledge of the market and keen eye assures her clients will get the best price for their home. This knowledge brought her a recurring role on “Atlanta’s Best New Homes” and, more recently, as a featured guest on American Public Media’s radio talk show “Marketplace.”

Later, Terry served as regional project manager for one of the nation’s premiere real estate companies, overseeing the sale of 3,000 homes in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and managing more than 120 employees. She was awarded “Sales Director of the Year” in 2003 by the Northern Virginia Building Industry Association.

Now living in Charleston, S.C., Terry has her own home-staging consulting business. She offers clients insight into the ways they can transform their homes into stand-out properties in a very tight market. Terry also spends time sharing her real estate and home-staging expertise as a featured speaker for realtor associations, professional and community groups, and other organizations.
