buyer: Get YOUR Orlando, FL Home Organized and Clutter Free!
- 01/24/08 04:36 AM
Clutter is one of those things that can start to eat up equity in your home over time. First it starts with a couple bins and a few more boxes then an entire room can turn into an unusable, unfriendly and messy space!

buyer: The true Secrets on HGTV's "SECRETS THAT SELL"
- 06/10/07 11:09 AM
So, I've been spending a bit of time recording and watching some of the new home staging, real estate and decor shows that have recently come out. There was one in particular I thought I could relate to called "Secrets that Sell". If you've heard of it you know that a lady and her mother team up to meet home owners that still live in their home and give them suggestions on how to sell. Basically they provide a consultation without doing any of the actual work themselves! That in and of itself makes a wonderful business! Getting to be the … (9 comments)
buyer: CENTRAL FLORIDA SELLER STAGES OWN HOME WITH WRITTEN INSTRUCTION BY KARLA. SEE PHOTOS!
- 06/01/07 03:39 PM
We all know clients cannot stage their own home effectively, but for those that insist on doing it themselves, create a do-it-yourself written report for them as a service. You never know how it will turn out but if you are descriptive enough and they are eager to get results, wonderful things can happen! This client whose home is shown below is a family member of a previous client. Once her house sold she brought some of the inventory over and helped her family member out. They used my written report as a guide and this is what they accomplished! My inventory … (44 comments)
buyer: Interesting Discovery Today regarding Occupied Homes...
- 05/29/07 04:29 AM
After investing some time in some regular cold calling today, I came across a couple Realtors who don't stage Occupied homes, they only believe in staging vacants! Needless to say I'm emailing them my before and after photos so that they can see for themselves the actual transformation, one of which sold the very next day after being staged. That same house sat for 6 months with no offers without the staging. I think the proof is in the pudding! I was really shocked but it seems that many realtors in Florida are taking this approach. I believe it has something to do … (5 comments)
buyer: Michael's to the Rescue!
- 05/22/07 01:34 PM
Even when I'm not working on a project for a client I'm always on the lookout for new inventory for clearance prices. Like all of you I peruse the usual T.J. Maxx, Ross, Kirkland's and the like but lately as I've been working on my wedding scrapbook each time I've gone in for some new items I wander the decor section and find awesome stuff! I actually got a bunch of packages of the cutest note cards there that are of residence frontdoors with gorgeous ivy etc. and some looking like Tuscan villas. I use these as my thank you cards when … (0 comments)
buyer: Resisting Change will Cost you Top Dollar Home Offers!
- 05/22/07 01:46 AM
After having worked with several clients as a Professional Home Stager in Orlando and the Central Florida area I have come to realize that most people are resistant to change in their home. The problem with this in real estate is it can cost you-big time!
Home Stagers want to work with clients to SELL their home because they love helping people get the most for their home in a short time period. That is what Home Staging is all about! I worked with a client and was referred to a relative of hers who actually lived in the … (0 comments)
buyer: Central Florida Home Sells in 1 day after being Professionally Staged!
- 05/04/07 11:37 AM
With so many homes on the market right now sellers can't afford NOT to stage their homes! My most recent Central Florida client had her home on the market for 6 months without a single offer! She dropped the price $25,000 during this timeframe. From the outside her home was stunning and created a lot of interest. She definately knew how to create curb appeal. Upon walking through the front doors of this lovely home, however, wallpaper was abound in many of the rooms including the heart of their home-the Kitchen! Along with this were empty walls and dark hallways. Resistant to another stager's … (6 comments)
