miranda real estate group: After 10 Years of Staging...Where Is It Going? - 01/19/18 05:24 AM
Staging is certainly one of the top discussion topics when meeting with serious (key word!) sellers.  Kathy has some great reflections here.  I love the trend moving TOWARD personalization.  I've actually seen family pictures work FOR a seller when they were recognized from years gone by. 
The key is to remove distractions.  As you prepare your home for market, use Agent Brenda's basic rule:  "If your home feels a bit bare, you properly prepared it for perspective buyers."  Don't underestime the power of "purging and thinning" along with basic maintenance tasks.  Take the time and it'll pay off!

miranda real estate group: So You Want a Fixer Upper - 10/12/17 07:48 AM
So... You want a fixer upper!
It's a statement by many that really should, most definitely, be a question:
"Do I really WANT a fixer upper?"   "CAN I really pursue buying a fixer upper?"
 
Purchasing a fixer upper is not like we see on television. Most of us do not have a talented and experienced crew at the ready to make the transition of the property toad into a real estate prince a quick & efficient occurrence.  And for most properties, it's a LOT more than just adding some neutral colored paint to the walls. 
Before you HONESTLY consider if you TRULY … (7 comments)

miranda real estate group: What Happened to those New Listings?? - 09/14/17 05:05 AM

As I scrolled through my blog page this morning, I had a big "aha moment"...  I'm really good at telling you about my new listings but pretty inconsistent about keeping you posted about what happens to them.  What do I mean?  Well in Real Estate, there are a LOT of options which include:  connecting with the right buyer and transitioning to a "pending" (and then sold!) status, coming off the market due to a sellers' change in plans, and expiring because the right buyer wasn't found and the agent & seller decided not to extend the listing agreement. 
 
SO... what's REALLY been … (4 comments)
