As homeowners, we get used to the different dips and cracks in our own driveways or front paths, just as we get used to a bit of clutter or a carpet stain inside the house.   Often we use a side door or come in through the garage, and we don't notice how the stone walk to the front door may have ...

It's been said that there are no more original thoughts, and when it comes to reasons about why not to stage, well I can almost agree.  When home sellers express their concerns about staging, we usually hear one of the following: #1 - Professional Home Staging is expensive... Actually we can tail...

There are two kinds of people in the world:  those who walk into a room and say, "There you are," and those who say "Here I am!"  (Abigail Van Buren, better known as Dear Abby).   Every listing has a voice on the internet, and with 92% of buyers looking there at some point during the process, it'...

What's the first thing that you notice when you look at a house?  Most likely it's the area around the front door... and so this begs the question, why are so many front porches cluttered with things or overlooked entirely? Most research suggests that a first impression is formed within 5 and 15 ...

One of the most common concerns I hear when I'm out speaking with realtors is that they don't know how to suggest staging without offending their clients.  I hear this over and over... and it's unfortunate when the client doesn't get the benefit of a consultation because the realtor isn't comfort...

Recently I consulted in a home that had a mirror over the living room sofa, to the left of the front door.  But when I stood still and looked, I realized that it was reflecting the open powder room door off to the right, and actually the raised toilet seat, and a silent but resounding "yuck" spru...
