Fall is my favorite time of year! Nothing energizes me more than the crisp morning air and the beautiful colors on the trees. I love snuggling with a fuzzy throw, hot chocolate in my hand while I sit by the outdoor fire pit laughing with family and friends on a cool autumn night. I love football games, bonfires, hayrides, pumpkins,corn stalks and the beautiful array of mums popping up in landscapings and front porches.
I also love how the change in season motivates me to do a little "nesting" … (15 comments)

ohio: Summertime Curb Appeal Tips That Sing "WELCOME HOME!"
- 06/26/09 07:06 AM
Summer is a wonderful time to maximize the Curb Appeal of your house. We know all the standard Curb Appeal Do's such as water the lawn, trim the bushes, power wash, etc. I see a lot of houses on the market that have followed all the tips and their homes look, how shall I say..."very well groomed " That's a great thing...its better than weeds in the landscaping and a dirty front door, however, sometimes it just looks well...standard and kinda boring. Yard is green and mowed (check!), bushes trimmed (check!), 2 flower pots on either side of the front … (11 comments)

Selling your house can be challenging when you have pets and I'm going to focus today on your CAT. Your furry friend and family member. I've got three myself so I understand and can empathize with my selling clients when it comes to this subject. I got plenty of inspiration to share some kitty tips when selling from my own experience over the weekend. I decided to move my cat's litter box from the basement to our first floor mudroom. See, my cats are senior citizens now and since I'm not planning to move into a ranch style home with … (34 comments)

I wrote last week about how distracting personal photos can be when it comes to selling your home: Old School Thinking: Personal Photos do NOT Make Your Home Feel More Like HOME While You Are Selling" I'm in a lot of homes as I consult with Sellers and I do see many beautiful and artfully displayed photos on the wall. Wall Words are very popular right now as well as frames with meaningful sayings that celebrate the family displayed and what is important to them. I see gorgeous black and white photography of families and children. And let's … (29 comments)
ohio: Old School Thinking: Personal Photos Do NOT Make Your House Feel More Like "HOME" While You Are Selling.
- 01/26/09 11:37 PM
Thanks to HGTV and many other media articles on home staging, Sellers are starting to understand the importance of removing their personal photos as part of the overall preparing their home for the real estate market. However, I've still noticed an awful lot of personal photos in our MLS when I check out the local listings. So what gives?Old School Thinking: Often it is very difficult for Realtors to tell their Sellers that the personal photos have got to go. Sellers can be very attached and proud of their grand displays of their kids and extended families. On the other hand, one of the old school thinking I … (18 comments)

Stage a Star was seriously busy as elves the week before Christmas: Read about it here "One of the busiest weeks of 2008: Stage a Star's latest Home Staging Transformations in Cincinnati, Ohio" We staged 3 properties for 2 different Investor clients.

ohio: My Favorite 2008 Transformations...I couldn't pick just one!
- 12/31/08 04:58 AM
I just couldn't let 2008 slip away without showing my favorite 2008 transformations. It was too hard to pick just one so I'm going to show you several of my favorites.First up is the first vacant staging Stage a Star did of 2008. It was an adorable starter home on the west side of Cincinnati. The Realtor had done a little staging herself but after being on the market for close to a year, she was smart enough to bring in the big guns (that would be us, Stage a Star...smile) to stage it so it would appeal to that particular … (11 comments)
ohio: One of the busiest weeks of 2008: Stage a Star's latest Property Transformations

Whew! What a week! Stage a Star has been very busy as we've staged 3 vacant houses this week and still one to go. We also De-Staged 2 properties & a few Consultations as well. If someone had told me I'd be this busy the week before Christmas, I would have laughed and said "No Way!" But in this business, I've found that you just never know your schedule and how busy you'll be from one week to the next. I am grateful for all the business we've received this year. I still have Christmas shopping to do, a family Christmas this weekend & a huge … (6 comments)
ohio: Shhh...The secret to selling a vacant condo!
- 03/02/08 10:33 AM
Stage a Star had the opportunity to stage a condo unit that had been on the market for 9 long months with very little interest and no offers. The condo was in a nice retirement community and the unit itself was top notch! After the condo was staged, it was under contract in 10 days! So what was the problem for the last 9 months? I had the priviledge of meeting the nice elderly gentleman that bought the unit the day we were de-staging the place. He had the answer..." It was so much easier to see what it could look like with all the … (26 comments)
