Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
March 17th, 2010
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve loved any excuse to get dressed up; not in a Halloweeny, costumy, pretend-to-be-someone-else way, but in a fancy, over-the-top, sparkly way! St. Patrick’s Day is, therefore, one of my favorite days of the year. Needless to say, I’m dressed in green today…complete w/ my favorite Kate Spade iridescent green pumps and a button on my purse that reads “Queen O’ the Green!” No, I’m not Irish…I just pretend to be once a year!
“St. Patrick’s Day is an enchanted time – a day to begin transforming winter’s dreams into summer’s magic.” -Adrienne Cook
As winter turns to spring, it’s the perfect time to dress up your home…make it sparkle and shine! Whether you’re planning to stay in your home for years to come, or are getting ready to put it on the market, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of a “dressed up” home! It’s also the perfect time to turn your dream of homeownership into reality! The homebuyer tax credits are about to expire…you have until April 30th to take advantage of the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, or the $6,500 credit being offered to move-up buyers. Call me today, and put my experience in staging and selling homes to work for you… I’m looking forward to helping you transform your winter dream into summer magic!
Staging a Wedding is Like Staging a Home…Really?!?
January 11th, 2010
I’ve been looking for an excuse to let you know that my daughter, Chelsey, is engaged and planning an August wedding!!! And this is the perfect excuse…Let’s talk about staging.
I can stage a home practically blindfolded…it’s all about making the most of space, color, and light! I can walk clients through the process of buying or selling the home of their dreams with ease, but planning a wedding is something entirely new to me! The last wedding I planned was my own…26 years ago, and quite honestly, my mother did most of the planning. So, I enlisted help…actually, my sister, enlisted some help for us.
How to Sell Your House, Not Just List It
November 10th, 2009
I recently earned my AHS designation (Accredited Home-Staging Specialist) so that I would be better equipped to help my clients sell their homes. Notice I said “sell” their homes and not “list” their homes…there really is a difference! All too often, listing agents and/or sellers don’t think about actually selling their homes until after they’re already listed.
I’ve lost track of the number of homes I’ve shown that were littered with dirty laundry, coated in dust you could write your name in, and were odiferous nightmares! Not surprisingly, these homes rarely sell…sadly, many of these homes become yet another foreclosure statistic. The inventory is simply too high right now not to stage your home to sell. If buyers don’t like your home, there are plenty more for them to choose from…so why not take a few extra steps to ensure that your home shows better than any of the other comparable homes on the market?
