 Several months ago Selling By Design Staging received a call from a real estate who needed a property for sale in Fresno, CA. to be staged. The home was located in a lovely, prestigious golf course community. The house had been on the market for months, the owners desperate to sell. Like many sellers they had wanted to wait on staging to see if the house would sell vacant. I met the real estate agent late on a warm summer’s afternoon. She said that the sellers were frantic, thinking that they might not be able to sell, and thus face financial hardship. Having staged many homes in the immediate neighborhood, I was curious to see what the problem could be.Within 10 seconds after walking in I saw it!In front of us was large, cold looking room, the first one a person would see on the way t...

Most of us have had this decorating dilemma at one time or another in our lives, a bed with a lovely comforter or quilt that looks unfinished due to lack of a headboard. The bed seems to float untethered in the space. As home stagers in Fresno, CA, we have noticed this problem when doing staging consultations. The bed looks nice, but something is missing. In order to obtain the best impression possible, thus getting the highest price for a home sellers, need to use every decorating trick possible. A simple fix to ground a bed and create an illusion of a headboard is to place a large piece of art above it. This simple remedy can be not only used in staging a home that is for sale, but can also be used enhance the bedroom in any home.

Golf Course Homes for Sale Sunnyside Country Club Fresno, CA. 93727 Not everyone is looking for a new construction home on a zero lot line where your property boundary is the stucco wall of your neighbor's house, five feet away from the wall of your own house.  There is a growing desire out there for homes with character or homes that are not built right on top of one another.  Homes where you can break wind on your back patio and your neighbor has no chance of hearing or smelling anything.  To find such homes these days you may have to journey into some older neighborhoods.  Neighborhoods where the trees are mature and dominate the landscape.  Neighborhoods that may be in a county island yet within the city limits. If that is what you are looking for you may want to check out what the ...

When it comes to selling your Clovis CA home, the first impression is the key factor. Prospective buyers usually make up their minds ten seconds after they step in the front door. With a purchase as big as a home, buyers are very careful, and they look with a critical eye on every little detail of the home. So how can you raise the appeal of your property?  To achieve the best possible outcome, your home should be presented in the best light possible the first time. This can be accomplished through techniques such as decluttering, depersonalization, and creating an appealing ambiance. But if you truly want to raise the appeal of your property, increase the sale price, and decrease the time your home stays on the market, then you should stage your home. Home staging is not simply decorat...

Do you really need a home warranty?I typically do not buy warranties when I purchase products. But I’m going to tell you that when you buy or sell a home in Fresno CA you should consider getting a home warranty.  I really don’t like the whole 2-year service agreement pitches at the register when I’m buying a product. I tend to always opt for the “no thank you” response. Part of my reasoning is because I once worked for a large electronics retailer when I was in college. We were rewarded more for selling service agreements and warranties than we were for selling the products themselves. I thought it was a huge racket and somewhat of a scam. That molded my mindset about extended warranties in general. However, fixing small electronic devices is much cheaper than fixing homes. Whenever I w...

Woodward Lake Waterfront Homes for Sale Market Update Fresno CA. 93730   There are not much more scenic home views than homes on the water with blue skies and a few clouds in the background.  That was the view I enjoyed again this week as I photographed some homes in Woodward Lake.  Every time I visit Woodward Lake I am captivated by what it must feel like to sip coffee from the back patio looking out over the water.  It is a feeling that comes with a premium as these lakefront homes are not cheap.  Only the lucky few get to enjoy the views of the water from their property every day.   As I looked into the current market prices and recent sales history in Woodward Lake I found there to be 50 homes that are either listed as sold, active or pending in MLS.  I'll give a breakdown of these...

Do You Have What It Takes to Buy A Fixer Upper Home in Fresno CA. 93720? Those who can fix up their homes by themselves or mostly by themselves could make a profit in this market.  I recently heard someone who is handy say that they wanted to find a home that was in need of repairs.  They would repair it with modern touches and then eventually sell it and buy the next fixer.  Each time they would take a bigger chunk of equity and apply it to the next purchase until eventually they wouldn't have a mortgage and could buy a house for cash, etc.  Now that is a nice plan as long as the market is in a long bull run as we have witnessed for almost the past decade.  However if the market stays stagnant or crashes then this plan would need to be altered most likely.This plan would probably only...

Woodward Park Homes For Sale Market Update Fresno CA. 93720  Larger homes on large lots are hard to find in our current real estate market.  If you look at new construction looking for a large lot you will not find any without paying $500,000-$750,000.  And the location of such new construction homes will be typically out of the way and off the beaten path.  The nice thing about the Woodward Park neighborhood is that it is located near Fresno's best shopping areas and most expensive office/commercial spaces.  Now that we are about a decade past the last mortgage meltdown and real estate floor so to speak, the average home buyer today is looking for a nice, move in ready home that they don't need to upgrade.  During the real estate trough everybody wanted a deal and they didn't necessari...

Homes For Sale On The Water At Woodward Lake Fresno CA. 93730 The sound of water trickling down a stream or crashing down on a beach can be so soothing.  Looking out over still waters can transform your mind and put you in a place far away where there is no care in the world.  Water can change our mood, mindset and our feelings if we allow it.  This is just another reason why people pay more for the home on the water.  They get to gaze off into the distance over the water from the comfort of their living room couch or from their outdoor swimming pool or fire pit instead of at the bright green house that the neighbor just painted.  Water can elevate our minds as well as the price of homes and there may be a correlation there.  Homes on the water are in a class of their own.Looking at the...

I don't Need a Buyers Agent I'll Call Listing Agent Fresno CA 93720I don't think everyone knows that the commission the buyers/selling agent makes comes directly from the sale proceeds of the sellers home.  That is the main reason why I don't understand why everyone does not take advantage of using a buyers agent.  In a nutshell, they work for you for free!  I recently ran into someone who didn't use a buyers agent and it caused me to reflect a little more on this topic.  Sellers markets can be frustrating but for heavens sake, don't give up the opportunity to work with a buyers agent who can represent YOU!  Yes the home you like has 5-10 offers already because it is nice.  Yes, the last house you wanted sold for $25,000 over list price because it was nice.  That doesn't mean you give u...
