st louis: Home Stager "Tips for Sellers" Who Have Fear in an Uncertain Market - 09/25/07 01:28 PM
 
Recent conversations with potential sellers have made me realize an undercurrent of fear in placing property for sale in an uncertain market. Clients have noted that they are worried about spending the necessary money to get their property prepared and ready for the market, spend time hiring an agent, live with the chaos and stress of open houses and showings and then take the chance the home will sit for months. All of this uncertainty is realistic in the current market but there is hope.
I inform my clients that people are buying houses! In order to stand out from the crowd, … (12 comments)

st louis: No outhouses in home staging! - 09/10/07 03:44 PM
How do you decorate for Halloween? While on a staging site yesterday, the seller asked if she could put pumpkins out in front. She had recently planted mums so the response was "of course." Then she stated that the pumpkins would be plastic! Okay, maybe not....This conversation brought up the issues of having homeowners decorate for the next holiday while the home is on the market. Here are some suggestions:
No outhouses on the front porch
No tombstones on the front lawn
Avoid inflatable or plastic ornaments inside or outside
Avoid putting static stickers on the front windows

Who's on your team when selling your home? Remember that the three critical aspects in real estate are location, condition and price? If it is important that you get the price you desire out of your home with the quickest sale, the trick is to professionally stage your home. Why is this important?

st louis: Theres just one problem... - 08/12/07 03:00 PM
We are working on a consultation for a client who has a common problem. I decided to blog on this topic after reading the blog on staging overpriced properties in hopes of getting a sell http://activerain.com/blogsview/171316/Home-Staging-In-The . This client is preparing his home for the market where there is very stiff competition and has completed some pretty major improvements including paint, carpet and bathroom remodels. So the problem.....He has no money for the stage AND he has a break even point that he needs to achieve in the sale. This price is very close to his asking price (before staging.)

st louis: What a buyer wants…and how we can help - 08/07/07 02:30 PM
My adult son bought his first house over the weekend-you know-in this market where there are no qualified buyers. We (the women in our family) had started the search back in January while he was still serving in Iraq. The one house his girlfriend liked was very 1980's in feel and decor but she was interested. Before he could return home, house was taken off the market due to a lack of a sale.
He returned home at the end of June and we all continued to search. Collectively we have probably toured 50 homes. Last weekend he was able to … (6 comments)
