staging: House Sitters Killing the Sale! - 02/23/10 02:44 PM
Home managers are supposed to stage your home, keeping it model perfect, with nice furnishings.  The reasoning for this is multi-faceted.  First it is believe that an occupied home with nice furnishings will make the home appear better and appeal to the buyers. Next, there is someone tending to the property, cutting the grass, cleaning, keeping the utilities on, and making the home appear well manicured and tended to.  So far so good?  Years ago the concept of professional home sitters arose out of the depressed Texas real estate market in the 80's.  Persons with nice furniture that could move in an out … (19 comments)

staging: Staging Doesn't Work! - 10/26/09 12:55 AM
Staging Vacant Homes - Who are you really fooling?  It takes more than furniture, art pieces and a few carefully placed articles to sell a home.  There are other senses that can give away the facts of the home when no one is living there.  Our senses can easily alert us to the most obvious of circumstance.  Smells, odors, and a lack of them can tell a lot about the home we are showing.  Our eyes lead us to the most minute of details that may alert us the home is vacant or perhaps a divorce is taking place.  Many in our … (23 comments)

staging: Serious Sellers Need to Look At Price - 09/12/08 11:59 AM
I know there are loads of hot topics in real estate these days for selling homes.  Obviously with all the inventory on the market, most agents and sellers do not know what they are doing. Craigslist, professional staging, Search Engine Optimization, web placement, videos, agent bonuses, increased commissions all play a part in the sale of a home, but nothing sells a home better than the correct price.  If a home is clean, accessible to other agents, free of clutter and priced right it will sell.  Sales of homes may have slowed recently, but I've noticed that we have had a good … (70 comments)

staging: What it Really Means! - 06/30/08 03:38 AM
Deleveraging really means to get your money out before it is worthless and invest what is left into a profitable investment. Softening - means sales are not what they used to be. Bottoming - means it is crashing. Soft landing - means it is not your money at risk. Recession -means technically you still have a job. Depression - means don't believe the news, I've lost my job, home, etc... Short sale - an opportunity for the banks to firm up a price, and if you wait until next month you can buy the same home for a lot less as … (71 comments)

staging: Turn Key Condition or a Project? What are Home Buyers Looking For? - 12/17/07 03:18 AM
I think many home sellers are totally unaware that when selling a home that buyers want to buy a home where they can move right in!  What a concept! They are looking to buy a home, not a project!  That's right, it isn't rocket science!  Most home buyers are looking for a home in turn key condition that they can move right into without ripping up your shag carpet, replacing your original avocado kitchen appliances, replacing the cracked tile floors in the baths, caulking, patching the walls, re-staining the deck, painting, replacing a leaky hot water heater, hiring an electrician to … (15 comments)

staging: Paint me! Please Paint me! - 03/21/07 05:54 PM
I think of all the mistakes home owners can make is not spending a few dollars and getting their home painted before trying to place it on the market.  Paint is a great neutralizer of tacky colors, kid tracks, it masks cooking odors, and cigar smoke.  If you close your eyes in a home that is just painted and aired out, he smell of fresh paint wafting through he home may even let you think you are in a new home.  Neutral paints can soften hard lime, lavender bisque, midnight mauve and many other decor infractions by well meaning home owners … (21 comments)
