I was having lunch with a friend last week, and she happened to tell me about a great house she’d recently seen. I immediately went into editor mode and started grilling her about where it was, just how close to be finished the design was, and if they’d be open to us previewing it. She gave me all the info, but was totally shocked to find out that we get the best leads on homes from our readers.
In fact, so many of the houses we photograph come to us from readers, friends, family, and sneaky dinner party guests wielding camera phones. I’d love to hear from you about the most fantastic house in your town, whether it’s yours or just somewhere you’ve visited. Leave a comment here or email me at laura@athomearkansas.com.
After we get a lead on a project, one of the editorial staffers will contact the homeowner to request pictures or possibly schedule an in-person preview. We’ll visit a home and take tons of snapshots, which we don’t publish. Rather, we use them to give us a better idea of how a home might look on a page, or with other homes we’re considering. And then the real fun begins with scheduling interviews and photo shoots!
If you’ve ever wondered how we find our homes, or wished we’d consider a particular home, this is your chance!
