Grateful Mind On A Thankful Day - 11/23/07 12:53 AM
Dear Friend,

I couldn’t have done it without you!

Question From Agent Reader: What to Tell Sellers? - 11/15/07 11:07 PM
Cindy,
I recently started hiring a professional to dry clean carpets before the house gets listed. I also go around the home with a pack a post-its and mark what should stay in the room. Everything else must be packed away for the move or sold at a garage sale. What other ideas do you have?
Thanks.
Kathy

Redesign for Work WORKS! - 11/13/07 12:58 PM
I surprise-visited little raspberries recently (so the owner won’t clean up before I show up hee hee, I can find out how they really organize the store…) which is a infant & children’s resale boutique that I had a couple consultation sessions with back in January. The owners didn’t have much money but they had been acting on my suggestions from our consultation sessions and working toward making the store more organized and transforming into the space that they dreamed about when they first bought the store last December.
Formerly known as Darla’s Baby Boutique, when mr. & mrs. raspberry bought … (3 comments)

DWR Sample Sale This Weekend - 11/06/07 04:30 PM

Design Within Reach is having a sample sale this weekend! My biggest tip for you is to get there ONE HOUR early to make sure you can get in early. The sale is usually crazy, so I would recommend to bring a buddy to help you lay across the couch that you have been eying so no one else can buy it before you. Also keep in mind what you wanted to buy may not be on sale on the floor, but the sale is restocked all the time so do ask the sales person about stuff you think should … (0 comments)

Carnival of Real Estate Home Staging: Ed #4 - 11/05/07 02:10 PM
This edition is super small. Only 1 was selected to be featured since the other submissions were not qualified (they did not talk about staging).
Interestingly enough, I recently received an email from a fellow stager “A” whom I really admired about the carnival. “A” expressed that s/he has been standing on the sideline and watch since s/he doesn’t know what posting in the home staging carnival can do for him/her. “A” however posts at Carnival of Real Estate because it’s beneficial for his/her web traffic. Well, here is what I am gonna say. You ain’t gonna get the benefits if … (3 comments)
