Hey, sometimes we all need to step out of our comfort zone and step up our game!
So let's shake up our listings like everyone is watching! 
I did and you can too!  :)

professional home stager: Your place or mine?? ;) - 03/28/11 09:38 AM
I don't know about you.....
But, when I am looking at homes for sale online, I tend to click on by vacant homes that keep me guessing at what I am viewing in each room!
Hello? Boring, awkward and downright confusing! Trust me....I could go on and on and on and on :)
You get the PICTURE!
Oh wait, NO, You don't get the picture! That's the problem!!
Really, if you had a choice....and you really do.....which would you choose?

professional home stager: Yikes! Sorry you saw me NAKED! - 02/02/11 10:47 AM
I hope I didn't scare you away! :/
I know, there are way too many of us hanging around NAKED. ( <-----Did you just click that link) ;)
We think we're looking all cool with a little primping & fluffing (paint & carpet). Not!
Really......like the Doctor always say's "After you've seen one you've seen them all....they all start to look alike!"
YIKES!  No, no I'm different! I don't look like all the rest! BLAH BLAH BLAH
YIKES is right! Let's face it, hearing that you "all look alike" isn't going to help when you are trying to sell a Vacant/NAKED … (91 comments)

professional home stager: Pottymouth! Yikes! - 10/07/10 08:21 AM
OK, lets talk potty, toilet, john, throne, latrine, can, etc.......
Actually, talking potty is something I prefer not to talk about, however even the little spaces need to be marketed correctly. :)
This is sort of a PART 2 to So you think you can Stage? Oh BOY! 
I was sort of taken back when I went to visit this Winchester property that was currently on the market with no offers.  This property had been lightly staged with accessories in the Kitchen & Bathrooms. 
IMHO, as a Professional Home Stager, having a Vacant Home partial staged with accessories in the … (39 comments)

professional home stager: The Realtor said "I'm sorry I had you Home Stage my Listing!" :( - 10/01/10 08:31 AM
OK so let me start from the beginning....

A Murrieta Realtor/Investor decides to Home Stage her investment property that she purchased from a Bank. Which if I do say so myself is an excellent idea!;)
So I visit the vacant property which only needed minor rehab work to be done, new carpet, paint touch up, fence repair, landscaping and off we go!
 
The Realtor was moving quickly and planned on holding an Open House the first weekend after the carpet and Home Staging was completed. So we all got to work quickly to ensure the Open House would be … (33 comments)

professional home stager: So you think you can Stage? Oh boy! - 09/22/10 07:59 AM
I know, you have great taste & a great eye!  That is great! I love working with clients that understand the importance of preparing a property for the market.  It is a match made in heaven! 
What can make it HELL  (OK maybe HELL is a little to strong) is when a client thinks all they need to do is add some accessories to help sell the property.
Right? Wrong!
Lots of people believe ANYONE can be a Professional Home Stager.  ANYONE can add chatkis and towels.  ANYONE can add furniture and pictures.
Sigh.....Do you want ANYONE to SELL your … (33 comments)

professional home stager: BUY BUY BUY or BYE BYE BYE!!! You decide! - 09/13/10 11:13 AM
They are called Home BUY-er's!! So, show them what they are BUY-ing! :)
 
After over 4 years in the Home Staging Industry I thought I had seen my fair share of crazy properties, both Occupied and Vacant! 
Let's face it,  every home has a story and our job as Professional Home Stager is to help share the home's story.
In this case, I had a new Real Estate Agent that asked me to look at one of his Murrieta listings that wasn't getting an offers and had been on the market for over 1 month. 
When I viewed the property … (41 comments)

professional home stager: Identity Theft! Oh No! Don't let this happen to you! - 11/28/07 07:33 AM
Who stole the room!  Is it a Living Room.....Office.......Closet?????  Don't let this happen to your Occupied Home Seller!

This poor room has lost it's identity and doesn't know what it's purpose in life is anymore!!
