home selling: HOME STAGING TIPS FOR UPDATING KITCHENS AND BATHS WHEN SELLING A HOME
- 06/08/12 05:27 AM
Lots of homes are listed for sale that are in need of some updating. I would not recommend a seller spend a lot of money on remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms. I do however, strongly recommend that sellers invest in some minor updates so that the property appears well-maintained and move-in ready. Move-in ready, one of the top "must haves" on buyer's lists of wants/needs. So what do you do when you have a kitchen that is still in the 80's? Oak cabinets, tile countertops? There are things home owners can do to counter the dated look. With some elbow grease … (4 comments)

The buyers had viewed the property before it was staged and decided it wasn’t the right house for them. After being persuaded to come back for another look after staging, they bought it.

home selling: ARE YOU TAKING MONEY OFF THE TABLE?
- 05/14/12 06:47 AM
I ask myself all the time why one would take money off the table when there may not be a need to. I'm hearing that home prices are rising, rates are low, there are buyers but not enough homes for sale. So, if this is true, why aren't the properties that are on the market not selling? I think that we all would agree that the right pricing is critical to the success of selling a home. Second to that success is probably location. And third, condition. Obvously pricing is under our control. If the property is priced correctly, you're one-third … (2 comments)
home selling: THE POWER of HOME STAGING: STAGED - SOLD - ESCROW CLOSED 39 DAYS FOR $10,000 OVER ASKING PRICE
- 04/02/11 05:45 AM
The power of home staging at work again. This gorgeous Diamond Bar CA home sold in just 39 days and it sold for $10,000 above the asking price. It made believers in staging of the investor team sellers. So much so, since the home sold before the staging lease expired, we moved the furniture over to another property the team is selling. When potential buyers walk into a vacant property this is what they are greeted by. Is room this memorable? Can you imagine living here? Is it creating an emotional attachment, drawing you in, begging you to buy it? Of … (4 comments)

home selling: HOME SELLING: SELLING A HOME IS A LOT LIKE MAKING A MOVIE
- 03/02/11 12:16 PM
If you really think about it, selling a home is very much like filming a movie. It's a production that takes a lot of collaboration and preparation from multiple parties. It takes time, effort, money and planning. Most of the cast and crew will wear more than one hat because selling a home is a multi-faceted production. So let's talk about the cast, crew and characters involved in the making of this movie. You may be thinking, "how is selling a home like making a movie"? Well, let's look at the similarities between the two. First there is a script and … (10 comments)
home selling: HOME STAGING: IS YOUR HOME READY TO SELL OR WILL YOU MISS OUT?
- 10/04/10 07:58 AM
This year is passing by so quickly. It's hard to believe, especially here in Southern California where we are having record heat waves, that the holidays are almost upon us. For real estate, that means there is a very short period of time to get your house sold before people start to put everything on hold for what I like to call the Holiday Lull. During this time, only the most serious of buyers are out there looking. So what does that mean for you? Are you selling? Is your home on the market now? And if so, did you do … (12 comments)

home selling: Are "Designer Touches" A Good Thing When It Comes To Selling? Before and After
- 03/03/10 06:40 AM
I see lots of listings advertising "designer touches" throughout and more often than not, this is what I see. A beautiful home that has been exquisitely decorated all to the current owner's personal taste. I see these same homes still on the market week after week and month after month. Why? Because they are too taste specific. Yes, the home is beautiful and well maintained and priced right. But the field of potential buyers has been limited to a narrow pool of people who happen to have the same taste as the owner and waiting for that buyer to appear. Everyone … (9 comments)
