ct: What is your favorite summer memory? - 06/12/08 06:31 PM
What is your favorite summer memory? Is it running through the sprinkler pretending to be parting the oceans with one mighty leap? Is it climbing the big maple in your backyard to get into the shade? How about parties where family and friends cooked out, played wiffleball, and swam late into the night? Most favorite memories have an element of home...at your home, in your home, with family and friends enjoying the sun and ease of the summer days and the late sunset of the cooling evenings. As summer comes upon us, my favorite memory surrounds me just as my mom's hugs used … (2 comments)

ct: Stratford Listing - 04/25/08 07:01 AM
Set on 1.51 acres in Stratford CT, this custom built 9 Room, 3+ Bedroom, 3 full bath Raised Ranch offers 2720 sqft of living space in desirable "Beaver Dam Area" close to Merritt Parkway and Rt. 8/25.
Stratford was founded in 1639 by 25 families who settled along the Housatonic River. From its once rural settlement, other towns have split off, yet Stratford has grown tremendously due to its strategic location. Today Stratford's vibrancy can be largely attributed to its dominance in industrial development and its excellent network connecting with all major highways. Stratford is the home of Sikorsky Aircraft which employs … (0 comments)

ct: Don't look further than your own front door! - 03/28/08 03:22 PM
When asked about my business name I always make sure that homeowners and Realtors know that Staging starts right from the property's front door. That means a few things. In design, it is that beautiful entry into home, comforting, well lit, and unobstructed. A house listed for sale will have drive-bys...it is inevitable. Buyers scope the neighborhood for things that are appealing. Manicured lawns and flower beds, no trash in the road, and front doors. Front doors are like the eyes into a property...if the eyes reflect kindness, warmth, and hospitality, that drive-by will become a prospect. If you are tech savvy, … (0 comments)

ct: What to do with "Colorful Condo" - Embrace it! - 07/19/07 08:23 AM
When I staged a re-sell condo three weeks ago, there were two others in the complex that had just listed. Their inventory of fixes was pretty extensive:
New Interior Paint job, Updated Cabinetry (Kitchen and Bath), Newer Carpet, Landscaped as they could
My clients informed me right off that they weren't spending money or time to :
Paint the Interior, Put up new Cabinetry, Replace the Carpet, or do any more than put some annuals in pot!
So...I Staged!
The best part was trying to take pictures of the rooms without flash in the mirror, glare from the sliders (behind sofas) or into the bath...here I am … (13 comments)

ct: Vacant Stager Needs Money! - 07/12/07 09:11 AM
Here are the pictures of a vacant I was asked to "bid" on in Fairfield County CT...
As you can see, the space is beautiful, cleanly painted, and clean-lined enough for major mass appeal.
Here's the problem. The brokerage that is listing this gave the incentive of a buyout if not sold within their time condition. When it didn't sell, they acquired the property. Because they are not in the business of holding and selling their own properties, they don't have any standard as to what to invest in marketing this home - meaning they have no "staging budget." BUT, … (3 comments)
