florida: ActiveRainPhotobloggerContest-I Cried Every Day for 2 Weeks! - 05/06/11 06:25 AM
When I first moved to South Florida, I cried every day for 2 weeks. Looking at the photo below, you're probably shaking your head and saying... "Are you nuts?"
You see, I was in my late 30's when I first moved away from my beloved hometown of Houston, Texas. It was where I was born; where I'd gone to school and even college and graduate school. I honestly was so happy in Houston, I never felt the big need to move away.

florida: Selling your home? Don't Forget to FOCUS! - 07/15/10 12:29 PM
When I provide a Home Staging Consultation in Boca Raton, Florida, I am always asked why they need to remove and pack all of their personal items. Or why their safari-themed family room needs to be de-themed. I tell them to FOCUS. It's no different whether you're here in South Florida, South Jersey, or South Anywhere. Only 10% of the Buyers are able to see past clutter, bad paint jobs, and " mis-arranged" furniture. Are you willing to risk the sale of your house to appealing only to those 10%?

florida: Downy Wrinkle Releaser, a BIG Duvet, and Band-Aids. . . More Vacant Home Staging Tips Part 2! - 04/07/09 09:48 PM
I posted several months ago (December 2008) about red marbles, a leveler and a Magic Eraser, and now I have more items I have found to be useful.

florida: "What do you mean my U-Haul truck isn't here?" or how I survived my first Vacant Home Staging! - 12/05/08 04:32 PM
Yes, I was finally initiated into the world of Vacant Home Staging, when Victoria LaBelle (Staging by Victoria) was kind enough to include me in an ASAP Staging she had of 4 homes in foreclosure. I had literally just over 24 hours notice to "get it together". I got the call on a Wednesday night and needed to be ready to Stage one home with accessories by Friday. The larger pieces were being delivered by a Furniture Rental company but I would need to bring everything else. First thing, reserve a U-Haul truck. Second, begin to check my limited inventory. Remembering what … (7 comments)
