selling a home: Why selling a home yourself is NOT a good idea. - 03/28/10 05:04 PM
First let me say, I am not a Realtor.
However, as a Plano Home Staging Professional, my business involves selling real estate.  And even though I am not a Realtor nor selling my home one thing I do know is that selling a home yourself is not a good idea!
Let me explain.
Today I took the time to visit 2 North Texas open houses.  One I was invited to as a professional home stager to provide some feedback on, the other I stopped in on my way home, just because I wanted to.
The first open house was a gorgeous home in … (70 comments)

selling a home: Is there value in a home staging consultation? - 08/12/09 09:58 AM
One of the most requested services my company, Home Star Staging provides is a home staging consultation.   And if anyone is wondering whether there is value in a home staging consultation, I'd like to provide an answer to that question for any skeptics out there or those who may feel there is no value in this service. 
For those who feel that they don't need  or cannot afford to stage their home using the services of a professional home stager, I'd like you to think again.  A home staging consultation is your personal blue print to do that very service yourself, enlist the help … (24 comments)

selling a home: Not selling a home? Start planning like you are. 5 Tips to Start Thinking like a Seller - 03/12/09 12:30 PM
In the past 2 weeks I found out that a dear friend of mine and family are moving.
I was, to say the least, shocked and quite saddened that one of my friends won't be close by.  Road trips are being planned already and long "girl's weekends" are on the agenda.
Her husband, took a great job within his company but had to agree to relocate quickly in order to fulfill the position. He is literally leaving this weekend.
They've started the mad dash process of getting the home ready for sale and lining up schedules with workers for this month. She is concerned that … (11 comments)

selling a home: Buyers don't like your house? It's nothing personal - 03/05/09 09:06 AM
Are you selling a home?
Been on the market for awhile?
No offers or constructive feedback?
What's going on?
You've priced it right, it's in a good location and you feel it shows well.
