: HOUSTON HOME STAGING PRESENTS: Alicia Barrington's Staging Stories (THE ORIGINAL HOUSTON HOME STAGING)
"It's not bragging if you
can do it......": quoted from baseball player Dizzy Dean,
1934.
HOUSTON HOME
STAGING
OFFERS THE BEST PORTFOLIO IN
ALL OF HOUSTON!
We're really not bragging, because
we've spent nearly six years, and over $100,000 developing our
staging packages. Every photo and video that you see on our
website, and in our portfolio, shows actual Houston Home Staging
projects, and Houston Home Staging inventory.
(Some stagers utilize 'stock'
photography provided by their training programs)
As Kelliwood residents we understand the challenges that Falcon
Point properties may face. Your biggest competition is of course,
all of the new construction. It certainly seems that homes that are
more than five years old, are now considered 'old homes'.
Personally, I grew up in a house that was built in 1910, now that's
an old home!
One of our projects in Grayson Lakes involved a consultation, and
then a light, furniture staging package. The house was prepared for
sale, and after several delays we finished our project on a dreary
Saturday morning just before Thanksgiving. Anticipating a listing
time of at least 90 days, everyone involved was pleased and
surprised when the first showing (five hours after we finished the
staging) presented a buyer (at 98% of asking price). There's a
little bit more to this story, and we have some great tips for our
Grayson Lakes clients.
Our consultations ($145) are proven equity builders. So call today
to book your appointment: 832.260.3151
Please enjoy the following
video of our actual portfolio - (loaded in HD, and is best viewed
in the 'full page' format)
If your home stager can't provide
you with a photograph of their current (or past) work, they
probably haven't had much experience. Home staging is very much a
'what you see is what you get' business. We customize all
of our installations to fit your specific marketing needs, and your
specific budget.
Houston Home Staging will
soon be accepting credit cards!

Katy Real Estate News - Falcon Point - 4th QT
2008 Property Value Update
By Katy Realtor, Tim Sojka
(If you would like more information on Falcon Point or to
arrange a tour call Tim at 713-822-2152 or shop for a Katy or West
Houston home online at www.Search-Katy-Homes.com)
Falcon Point residents know that the community is one of the
most prestigious in Katy. Residents appreciate great schools,
fantastic amenities and a great location. The residents may
even know that Falcon Point features one of the best golf courses
and golf clubs in the area. Still there is a secret that
Falcon Point residents may not know.
In 2008 Houston faced the worst hurricane in years.
Mortgage companies folded right and left. The stock market
plunged. Almost any investment in 2008 was a bad
investment.
However, owning a home in Falcon Point was a good
investment. Home prices increased slightly to almost
$275,000. The average home in Falcon Point sold in just 63
days, well below the Houston average. More importantly
the Katy Hospital additions bordering Falcon Point can only help
the neighborhood grow in the future.
As the Realtor® that has sold some of the top flight Falcon
Point homes we would like to think we have had a little something
to do with the neighborhoods success. If you would like to
know more about Falcon Point, feel free to give us a call. We
are still Falcon Point's biggest fans.
