home staging ventura: While Visions of Sugar Plums Danced in Their Heads... - 12/17/10 10:26 AM
This is a great family home with 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, grand "open" floor plan, 2 car detached garage with pool, hot tub, and a Pool House complete with its own full bath and kitchenette located in a quiet neighborhood in Northridge, CA.
You would think that the description alone would sell the house by itself. But this Developer knew that the "grand" open floor plan would be confusing to most Northridge Buyers, and while the home definitely had its ammenaties, it also had its challenges. This is the 4th Home we have Staged for this Developer and while the house looked like … (4 comments)

home staging ventura: How We Made a Banana-Yellow Velvet Sofa WORK! - 11/01/10 10:47 PM
There it was..... staring at us like it was taunting us.... a banana-yellow, velvet sofa....
Yet, somehow..... some way.... we needed to "make it work".
You see, these sellers were a brother and sister team selling their parents home who had recently passed. They had already spent a substantial amount of money repainting the entire home which involved removal of wallpaper from EVERY room of the home as well as all new flooring through out. Once it came time to actually list the home, they didn't have the funding to be able to bring in new furniture to Stage the home, so my … (83 comments)

home staging ventura: Did I just say to, "Paint those walls white." ~ out-loud?!?!? - 03/14/10 11:25 PM
A few weeks ago my Company was contacted by a wonderful couple who were getting ready to sell their Ventura Keys home. The home is steps away from the beach and has a HUGE, deep water boat dock with direct water access to the Ventura Marina. Referred to us by their Realtor, these Sellers have spent some years on the water sailing and now want to retire to a local golfing community. One thing that both Sellers and their Realtor agreed on was that their home didn't have that "WOW" factor to appeal to potential Buyers OR be viewed as a "must see" listing on the Internet.

home staging ventura: ~ Pops of Green: It's the Sign of Spring! ~ - 03/10/10 06:51 PM
Green has great healing power. It is the most restful color for the human eye; it can improve vision. Green suggests stability and endurance. In heraldry, green indicates growth and hope. Green, as opposed to red, means safety; it is the color of free passage.
According to the Color-Wheel-Pro: Green is the color of nature. It symbolizes growth, harmony, freshness, and fertility. A lighter or "fresh" Green has strong emotional correspondence with safety and is directly related to nature, so you can use it to promote 'green' products. While dark green is also commonly associated with money.
Perhaps due to its overwhelming … (17 comments)

home staging ventura: Gary Keller of Keller Wiliams on Good Morning America: you HAVE to watch this!!! - 02/26/10 05:02 PM
New home sales are at an all-time low, and the market isn't expected to recover anytime soon.
Gary Keller Author of Shift say this is a "Goodbye Market" Gary Keller Founder of Keller Williams Realty.
Real Estate experts share their top five tips for convincing buyers.
With the housing market so slow, homeowners who have to sell -- perhaps to move for a job or because of a looming foreclosure -- may not see much interest in their property. If there is interest, buyers may offer considerably less than expected.
It's a tough situation, and it places people under enormous pressure, … (20 comments)

home staging ventura: Home Staging gets it SOLD in 48 days, when avg D.O.M. is 146 - take THAT nay-sayers of Staging! - 09/28/09 07:28 PM
Remember this house? Appropriately dubbed the "House of Doors", doors, and more doors!
Yes, the same house that also had a bath tub immediately adjacent to the master BED (not room, BED)
Yes, the very same house with oddities such THIS ?!?!
Well, nay-sayers of Home Staging, I am here to state that even though the average days on the market for this BEACH community is 146 days - this one is under escrow in just 48 days AFTER Staging! HA!

This could not have been said any better. If you're a Seller that is even the slightest bit curious about Home Staging, or your Realtor is not a "believer" then call Platinum Home Staging, Inc.
Via Maureen Bray ~ Home Stager Portland OR ~ Room Solutions Staging (Staging that Sells Portland Homes):
Dear Mr. Seller,
You contacted my company 3 months ago and requested a staging proposal for your home. It's in a premier Portland neighborhood and you said you knew it needed some help before listing. You'd already bought another home and were packing up your things to move out in … (2 comments)

home staging ventura: Home Staging Definitely "Leads" Buyers - 03/12/09 09:27 AM
Upon entering this house as a Buyer looking for a home, where would you go from here? Human nature would say, "To the left, that's where the living spaces are." However in this home the floor plan is flipped. Guest bedrooms are on the 1st floor, the Kitchen, Living spaces and Master bedroom are actually located on the 2nd floor.
Following their instincts, Buyers and Realtors when looking for a huge kitchen and living room would immediately turn left to three empty bedrooms, and were a bit befuddled. Once Buyers and Realtors DID go up the stairs this … (7 comments)

home staging ventura: Keeping your home clean while selling it doesn't have to be a headache! - 01/18/09 02:29 PM
Function, Function, MULTI - Function is key in acheiving this.
As more and more Sellers are living in their homes while they are on the market it is imperative that every piece of furniture chosen to Stage the home is multi - functional. Many Sellers have children, infants or even pets still in the home which need to be taken into consideration.
One of the hardest things for Sellers to do is to ensure to keep the home show ready at a moment's notice. In this tough economy, telling a potential Buyer to give you 24 hours notice to view your home may … (7 comments)

home staging ventura: Unsolicited "THANKS!" - 09/23/08 09:31 AM
In a current time when it seems that everyone has tightened up their belts due to the volatile stock market, corporate bail outs, elections and whatnot. It seems that everyone is holding on to every last penny is preparation for the sky to fall.
But yesterday I received the kindest, most rewarding voice mail I had ever received to date from someone I have never met, never spoken to, never even knew his name. You see, I performed a Staging Consultation for a large home in Tarzana, CA a couple weeks ago. The young couple have had their home on the market … (23 comments)

home staging ventura: Public Disclaimer to Ventura County Star article - 09/14/08 11:20 AM
September 14, 2008
While honored by the opportunity to be included and featured in an article about home staging and the industry in the Ventra County Star Newspaper, there are some gross mis-quotings that occurred which we felt must be addressed publicly.

home staging ventura: I've been having an affair... - 09/12/08 09:47 AM
I wanted to confess and share openly here that I have been having an affair. My better half, Platinum Home Staging, Inc. had some inkling I'm sure... Being gone all day and not answering the phone, ignoring my text messages until the next morning, actually "passing" on some jobs because I, "already have plans...."
But here it is, out there for all to see, and I'm afraid that PHS, Inc. is just going to have to be OK with this "other" party..... It has been taking all my free time, even when I thought my business was "slow" and waiting for … (21 comments)

home staging ventura: Partnering with local Stagers... Why would you NOT? - 09/08/08 09:38 AM
Many Professional Stagers have been posing the question of "Do I or don't I" partner or work with fellow Stagers in my area? Here in SoCal I believe that there are quite a few of us that have embraced the fact that, although we may at times be competing for the same business, it only drives the industry forward and betters ourselves amongst the business mindset.
Whether you "hire" another Stager to help on a project, or have the karma mindset of scratch-my-back-and-I'll-scratch-yours mentality, it can only help but benefit BOTH parties. I for one need to send out HUGE thank you's … (33 comments)

home staging ventura: Your home has been on the market for months, now what? - 09/03/08 11:15 AM
Before we answer the first question, we need to address a few more scenarios about why your home hasn't sold.
The first and foremost being: Are you listed with a Real Estate Agent? Or are you trying to go it FSBO? If the later is your situation, you really need to suck it up and start interviewing Professional Agents in your area (not your cousin's-best friend's-sister who is a Realtor located 45 miles away) The money you were trying to save by not paying the commission has already been lost in delaying the sale of your home and carrying … (16 comments)

After years of working in Retail and HR Management, I don't know why I hadn't thought of this sooner! However the epiphany finally came me as I thought, "How the H*LL am I going to juggle x, y & z as my company grows and expands?"
Tah-dahh (fanfare!) Angles sing, doves fly and the sunlight parts the clouds!
INTERNS!!!
