It is no mystery that a de-cluttered property shows much better than a cluttered one. Where the mystery lies is inside of each unique individual’s personal definition of clutter. And, here is where the line gets severely blurred. Most of us define clutter as scattered piles of miscellaneous “things”. And, the majority of us see clutter as mostly small items. When we hear the word “clutter” we think of the following: Excess ornaments, too much framed artwork on walls and surfaces, piles of laundry, stacks of paperwork, toys, office/stationary items, boxes, bags, shoes, tools, over-stuffed cupboards/drawers/closets, etc. And, these are (2 comments)
home stager edmonton: Here's a Fun Game! My "Duffle Bag Prescription"...
- 11/21/10 08:54 AM
A Professional Home Stager is invested in ensuring that the ground-work they do with a seller HELPS the Realtors® to experience nothing but a seamless process with their client. If this is not a paramount goal in the Home Stager's mind, they are in the wrong profession. A Home Stager will NOT succeed in their business unless they are working towards success for everyone involved in a listing/selling process. All Realtors® know how horrible it feels to walk into a property to show it to an eager buyer, only to find that the owners have left it in a terrible state (9 comments)
home stager edmonton: A mandatory, but over-looked, key to Selling a Property Successfully!

A mandatory, but over-looked, key to Selling a Property Successfully! It is not your "home" anymore, so a shift in mentality is in order. Perhaps the most difficult, yet necessary, adjustments to make when selling your "home" is letting go of all emotional attachments. "Home IS where the heart is"! This will never be a false statement. "Home" is where many of your fond and/or less-than-favourable memories are created. Maybe you have raised children there, had grand-children over for festivities, accomplished great things during your time there, or have experienced great loss whilst living there. No matter how you cut it, (9 comments)
home stager edmonton: Forget Home Staging! Get Back to Basics First!

"I tried to explain to him that you can hang tinsel on a pile of feces, but it still is not pretty." I have written many posts regarding the importance of Home Staging in ANY market. And, yes, presentation is still paramount! It always will be. But, this post is solely focused on the fact that cleanliness of a listing property is MANDATORY! I received a call from a Realtor® asking me to meet him at a listing of his that has been sitting on the market for 90 days. Now, bear with me. I know in the U.S., 90 days (8 comments)
home stager edmonton: The Proverbial “Doily” Must Die!!!!!
- 09/22/10 08:52 AM
Ahhhhh, Doilies....the memories. You are a blatant liar if you claim that you have never had a doily in your possession. You are an even bigger liar if you claim that you have never seen a doily.
Now, don't get me wrong right off the hop, here, okay? You are more than entitled to possess a fondness of doilies due to the desire to memorialize a loved one, or for any reason at all. And, heck, you are also certainly welcome to have some doilies either on display in the home you are living in, or in storage for similar (7 comments)
Okay, I know I keep harping on the importance of not scenting our homes with chemical-based fragrances and room "deodorizers", but I have witnessed yet another potential sale go south due to a buyer's violent allergic reaction. Oh, yes, and I LOVE the commercial with the Realtor® who is dancing around with the bottle of Febreeze, exclaiming, "I use this in every client's home!" Have you been anywhere public in society lately? Have you seen the signs posted everywhere that warn us of existing "scent-sensitivities" and ask us to refrain from wearing perfumes and deodorants? More and more people out (21 comments)
