As promised, here are a few more before, during and after photos for you to see. Some of these photos are the ones that I took the first day that I met them...keep in mind that they were in the middle of packing that day so the before photos are more cluttered than the usual before photos that I take.</div>

Here's a look at the breakfast area when I first visited the property<br />

The owner hired me in July for a color consultation.<br />
They wanted to sell, knew that they needed to neutralize the paint colors, update the kitchen and bathrooms and refinish the hardwood floors.<br />
<br />
What you are about to see are the before, during and after photos. Because there are so many to see, I'll break this house up into different blog post so be sure to check back again for the rest of the rooms. <br />
<br />
Some of these photos are the ones that I took the first day that I met them...keep in mind that they were in the middle of packing that day so some before photos are more cluttered than others. <br />
<br />
The others were made the day that I checked on construction progress or the same day of the staging installation.<br />
<br />
We'll start with the living room and foyer area.<br />

You don't get that kind of reaction with a vacant house! This seller is living proof.<br />

If your house has been sitting stale without productive showings, it may be time for a home staging consultation or a vacant staging plan. Give me a call and let's set something up!<br />

So far this house has been on the market for a few weeks and I heard through the grape vine an offer is in the works. Vacant houses can not get that kind of action. Give me a call for more information about vacant home staging. <br />

If you have a vacant home to sell, staging is the only way a buyer is going to be able to visualize how the space feels in a positive way. Empty rooms are confusing, cold, unwelcoming and depressing. Furnishing and accessorizing the key rooms can be the difference in a quick sale or a slow one. Give us a call to discuss your options with your vacant house.</div>

Other buyers were purchasing another property, saw this online and wanted to cancel their current contract to purchase this house without ever visiting the property. Unfortunately for them, the house was already under contract. Vacant houses can not get this kind of reaction!</span><br />
<br />
Last week, I met a lady from out of state that was preparing her house in GA to sell. The house had been a rental for several years, needed some TLC and she was in town to oversee the work. She is a Realtor and a home stager herself and had very specific ideas of what she wanted in the way of home staging. She wanted "beachy-cottage". Of course, I love that look and have no problem creating it, but it's not possible to rent beachy-cottage furniture from any rental company that I've ever worked with.<br />
<br />
So I had to get to work and make it happen.<br />
<br />
Furniture was painted....<br />

Found this brass seashell planter years ago and I never threw it away. After cleaning it with Clorox Wipes, I had to fill in some gaps with caulking before priming with Kiltz spray primer. Once the primer was dry, I added a few coats of glossy white spray paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFQ6v8SnBhhAyps1w9PCAnFEbA4x1U4jtZeC2cPlWG6n1wbe1VEIFSvcChaYMYfAPG1n-vpltk8-ubRUI1QxZwfteRT1BsiNACUA4FVM68QfuMogNAT8i3DNLUulj2TVCzJ6qpWmfDbqQ/s1600/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFQ6v8SnBhhAyps1w9PCAnFEbA4x1U4jtZeC2cPlWG6n1wbe1VEIFSvcChaYMYfAPG1n-vpltk8-ubRUI1QxZwfteRT1BsiNACUA4FVM68QfuMogNAT8i3DNLUulj2TVCzJ6qpWmfDbqQ/s320/photo.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
At the same time I also worked on this "zinc" finished pot and wooden duck. I was so excited about finding accessories to spray paint, I forgot to take some before photos of these. Let's just say the duck was typical duck colors, nothing wrong with that, but our house is dark and I'm ready to lighten up. The same goes for the "zinc" like pot...DIY'ers are faux painting items to look like zinc, but it is not a look that I've been able to work with over the last 10 years, so white it becomes. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
We have this dark hutch that E refinished years ago and it looks great with the old and the new mixed in together. <br />
<br />
See the "zinc" finished pot in it's new coat of paint? It's full of real seashells and included with all of the other white-ish accessories, really brightens up the shelves.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The old brass seashell in white with the new artichoke heart from either T.J. Maxx or Ross, looks great. This is reduce, reuse and recycling at it's best...don't you agree? Shop around your place and see what you can update with a can of spray paint. </div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">T</span>he House is Listed,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The Holidays Are Here, & Guest Are Arriving!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Having your house on the market to sell
during the holiday's is challenging enough as it is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You are constantly having to keep the house
picked up, staged, the kitchens & bathrooms sparkling clean, eliminate any
food or pet odors and shuffle everyone out of the house when you have a
showing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It's not easy to live in a
"showing condition" home while it's on the market.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Try adding out of town guest and Holiday decorations and
you've got the ingredients for a huge disaster or with a few simple tips and
some planning ahead, it can be one of the best holidays ever.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqYWyprKLL-qmosYEvFBscb642QuvZQiPPKmACrH75thaD2avhxWXqOqm0kCu0viCNOfpUbzewcDPXXe6_Gi2mmuDsFBHcocr08-qZOzz3hVARPrFJ14JnbFsEyIQiR5Muzd6y4f8IdEw/s1600/j0422451.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="307" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqYWyprKLL-qmosYEvFBscb642QuvZQiPPKmACrH75thaD2avhxWXqOqm0kCu0viCNOfpUbzewcDPXXe6_Gi2mmuDsFBHcocr08-qZOzz3hVARPrFJ14JnbFsEyIQiR5Muzd6y4f8IdEw/s320/j0422451.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">1. Try to keep the holiday decorations to a minimum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Put a simple wreath on the door, remove a few
accessories to replace <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>them with special
holiday accessories and keep the clutter down as much as possible. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It won't be much different from
"non-holiday" staging,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>however
will still create the spirit of the<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>holiday's.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">2. Prepare quests in advance, that your house is going to
remain on the market during this time while they are visiting.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You may even want to place a check list in
their room or central location of the house so that everyone knows what tasks
need to be completed in case of a last minute showing call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">3. Be sure to provide your guests with as much storage as
possible.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Somewhere to hide their
luggage, a tray to corral their toiletries or tote to use so they can be
stashed under the vanity in a hurry.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Keep the throw pillows on their beds to a minimum so they won't have to
worry if the bed is made up exactly the way you want it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>KISS....Keep It<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Simple Silly!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">4. Provide them with a map of your area, special events they
may be interested in attending, movie showings & times so they/you will
have something fun to do while the house is being shown.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I've heard of some showings taking as long as
2 or more hours.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If your house is being
viewed that long by a potential buyer, that's a great sign and you certainly
don't want to rush them into a decision that might keep them from buying your
property because you and/or your guest came home too early.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">5.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Plan on having
some of your meals out.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This will<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>help keep the food odors down, although some
holiday baking fragrances have been known to create a special "Welcome
Home" feeling<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>for a buyer and we
all know emotions are a huge factor in making a decision on purchasing a new
home.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 12pt 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I hope you have a Great Holiday Season and a Merry
Christmas.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

Well I'm hear to tell you folks, that there is and it's not ceramic tile that I'm talking about! It's a loose lay vinyl plank. What?<br />
<br />
It's time to find a replacement floor covering for a property that is about 30+ years old, has old sliding glass doors and when ever there's a blowing rain, water will leak under the sliding glass door. Or seep in through the tracks...it's difficult to tell. Anyway, needless to say, the carpet gets wet and has to be seen about right away to prevent mildew, mold, etc. <br />
<br />
I'm not a big fan of ceramic tile. I just don't like the way it feels under foot. I love hardwood floors and carpet...I even like a good laminate or vinyl floor depending on the property and room. So I was researching online and found this site <a href="https://www.floorstoyourhome.com/" target="_blank">https://www.floorstoyourhome.com/</a> claiming that they had a water proof flooring solution that was not tile. Hooray! <br />
<br />
I online "chatted" with a fellow from this company about my particular situation and asked his advice on what he thought would be a good solution to this water thing. Floors To Your Home has several different types of flooring for damp areas. He recommended <a href="https://www.floorstoyourhome.com/vinyl-flooring/loose-lay.html" target="_blank">Tuff Guy Loose Lay Vinyl Floor</a>. I've watched all the videos, researched the local box hardware stores (you know who I'm talking about) and asked different flooring companies, and haven't found anything that sounds as great as this product. <br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
Go to <a href="http://www.letschipit.com/">www.letschipit.com</a> and they will take you through the entire process. You can add a button to your toolbar and once you find any photo online that you want to try, click on the "chip it" button in your toolbar to activate, roll over the photo to preview then "chip it"! A color palette will be created that you can save for future reference.<br />
<br />
You can even use this tool on your personal photos that you've saved on your computer. <br />
<br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">
I tried this with some of my personal photos...the below photo is one that I took of the beautiful ocean. These colors are breathtaking to me and I find it difficult to single anyone of them out.</div>
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I upload this to the chip it site, click yes to their online agreement (does anyone ever read those things?) and then "chip it" and these are the results...</div>

<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
Most people think it means removing personal photos and portraits so that they buyer will be able to imagine themselves living in the property that they are considering purchasing. And yes, that is part of de-personalizing, however it is really much more than just removing personal photos.<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
De-personalizing involves re-moving any or all of the following:<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
<ul>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvVmaHf2uDGyNiTITxSY3gUyglox1rLofcaHOkRoqzalXUjS4fKe-nTSHlUfeTotZQ4i6KE6hs8QL8ZHA3VWQmaNdWtc0TKAJqFFxX1WFvMBcsj7FDGrBeoS_ZbnXbF7EeZr5RgROAPSE/s1600/clocks.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" eda="true" height="212" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgvVmaHf2uDGyNiTITxSY3gUyglox1rLofcaHOkRoqzalXUjS4fKe-nTSHlUfeTotZQ4i6KE6hs8QL8ZHA3VWQmaNdWtc0TKAJqFFxX1WFvMBcsj7FDGrBeoS_ZbnXbF7EeZr5RgROAPSE/s320/clocks.jpg" width="320" /></a>personal beauty items</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">medicines or prescriptions</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">DVD and CD collections</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">sports team memorabilia</li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">collections in general </li>
<li style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> </li>
<li>specific paint or wall paper choices</li>
<li> </li>
</ul>
Sellers will often ask me "why do we have to remove these things". Let's think about it....take personal collections for example. This could be anything to collections of old cameras, clocks, figurines, etc. Once a buyer starts noticing the collection, that 's what their focus is towards and guess what? YOU HAVE JUST LOST YOUR BUYER! They are no longer looking at your house, but caught up in your collections<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
Same thing for DVD or CD collections. Nothing says "THIS IS OUR HOUSE, NOT YOURS!" more than the tower, basket or shelves full of family movies and music choices. <br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
And don't even get me started on sports team memorabilia....especially college teams. I've seen buyers strike a house off their list because their opposing college football team banners are on display in a sellers house. It's ridiculous, I know, but it happens!<br />
<br />
<div>
</div>
Smart sellers may want to ask themselves if they are will to take a chance of losing a buyer for their house in this real estate climate all because they were too attached to their personal items? <br />
<br />
<div>

They make the repairs at a low cost, put the property back on the market and sell it, often for a good profit.<br />
<br />
<br />
If your house needs repairs, it may be putting buyers off and attracting flippers. Buyers approach a property and see needed small repairs and they automatically start thinking, "Hmmm, I wonder what else is wrong with this house" and that is not the seed that you want to plant in a buyers mind. Small repairs says "differed maintenance" to a buyer.<br />
<br />

Are you attracting flippers by not making the necessary repairs BEFORE listing your property? If your house needs work, selling to flippers can be a viable option to get your house sold, but you are not going to get the price you want. They want to purchase at a price below market value. <br />
<br />
Studies show that we have more 1st time home buyers under the age of thirty than ever before and they are willing to pay MORE for a MOVE-IN READY house. If there is a similar house to yours down the street that doesn't have a "honey do" list that comes with the selling price, that is most likely the house that the buyer will choose.<br />
<br />
Go ahead and make these repairs before you put your house on the market. If you can find a buyer that is willing to buy, the offer that they are going to make will be much less than what it would have cost you to make the changes in the first place. <br />
<br />
There is always a "New Listing" buzz whenever a new property goes on the market and that usually is the best time for your house to be shown and go under contract. Why risk losing a buyer by having them see your property before it's ready to be sold? Go ahead and make the house appeal, not to flippers that will make low ball offers, but make it appeal to the first time home buyer.<br />
<br />
Take it from Whoa to Wow! Make it 1st time friendly.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
A few months back, we had a rental house that became vacant after having had a tenant for 6 years. We had been into the property several times through out the years and always thought that it was in pretty good shape and that the tenant took good care of the house. Boy were we wrong! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we finally received the key from the tenant after they moved, this is what we saw when we first entered the house. I wanted to CRY! We've owned this property for approximately 25 years and never had it been in this condition. It's always been dark and dated, but this was dark, dated and <strong>FILTHY!</strong></div>

You make the decision, you start a list of task to complete, actual work begins to take place, emotions may arise and the roller coaster ride begins.<br />
<br />
Decisions are made about where to move, what agent to use, how to price the property, etc. The decision to move may be due to a much anticipated opportunity such as job transfer, expecting a baby and needing more room or a promotion at work allowing you to purchase a dream home. Or it could be for a more unhappy event such as job loss, divorce, or death in the family. Empty nesters could qualify for happy or unhappy emotions. Either way, emotions are going to run amuck!<br />
<br />
If you are a "list maker" you'll want to organize your thoughts, put your tasks to complete on paper and develop a time line about what's involved with the move. Whether you use pen and paper or digital sources such as computer or smart phone, this is a large part of the process. The is when "disassociation" from your home where you've built memories begins to happen. If you see it in black & white, you may start to believe that this is really going to happen. It's part of the process!<br />
<br />
Get ready, this next stage is where the tasks start. This is the stage where everyone in the household needs to roll up their sleeves and get to work. Pre-packing, un-cluttering spaces, making repairs and cleaning like you've never cleaned before, must take place. Once all of this is complete, you then have the arduous task of maintaining this state until the house sells. Ugh! It's not easy, but if you want to sell the house, it's a necessary part of the.....process! <br />
<br />
Emotions - this is the part of the process that will show up through-out all of the above stages. Emotions run high while deciding on a price to list, jump back on edge when you get a call to "show" the house. "Everyone pick - up! Their showing the house today! " Then you worry all day about what the buyer thought about your house. You call your Realtor only to find out that they haven't heard from the showing agent for feed- back. One of two things can happen at this point, either you will become excited due to an offer or disappointed from a low offer.<br />
<br />
If you manage to work out a signed sales contract, you start the real packing and make moving arrangements, all the while keeping your fingers crossed about the appraisal, the buyers home inspection or that the buyers loan will go through without any complications. At the closing, a feeling of relief may be experienced or disappointment due the final sales price and proceeds to the seller. <br />
<br />
Final part - taking that last look around the property once the last box is loaded into the moving truck to be sure you've left nothing behind and seeing the "ghosts" of past events that took place during your time spent in this home. I've done this a time or two in my life and I promise it can be a bitter/sweet moment. But...look ahead and anticipate your future<br />
<br />
Life is an adventure! Enjoy the process!<br />
<br />

I "Luv, Luv, Luv" the Pottery Barn Catalog. I tend to save them and refer to them for design and creative inspiration. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This Christmas season, I wanted to use a more "natural" decor theme in our holiday decorations. We live on wooded acreage and I have an abundance of natural resources in the way of pines, cedars and magnolias to "shop" and create one of a kind wreaths and floral arrangements. </span><br />

</tbody></table> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pottery Barn had this photo of a front entrance with Christmas decor and I found myself drawn to it. I "Luv" the natural elements but the pewter pitchers on that red front door really speak to me. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Years ago, my mother gave me some tarnished pewter wine goblets (we "luv" tarnished things) and I've never been able to find a use for them, so they've been packed away for about 10 years. <strong>Light Bulb moment! </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Saturday, I shopped for greenery in the woods, and Sunday I made 2 front door hangings as our Christmas "Wreaths". </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">On the front of their Holiday Catalog, they have a stack of Holiday pillows tied with some red jute webbing, normally used for upholstering chairs. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">I ordered some last week and used it to make </span><span style="font-family: Arial;">bows and as garland for our Christmas tree.</span><br />

Information from survey results are compiled, reviewed and those results are then passed on to us. It's about appealing to the buyer of our products.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Knowing who our "target market" is while trying to sell a house is just as important to the home seller as it is to all these businesses that have products or services to sell.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">As a home seller, this means that you are going to have to think about who your buyer will be when marketing your house. What age group are they? Are they empty nesters, new parents or families with teenagers? What will they expect to see when they come to view the property and will it be something that they desire? </div><br />
Let's say your house is 15 years old. The kitchen appliances, cabinets, countertops and lighting is dated compared to what a buyer will see in an newer house. Your bathroom is 15 years old. The flooring, vanity and fixtures are dated compared to the competition. <br />
<br />
Could your furniture be showing some wear and tear and look dated? Probably, but your thinking "A buyer is going to be purchasing our house, not our furniture. Why should that matter?" <br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">It matters because, the "Target Market" for your property is probably around 30 to 40 years old, has a family that needs room to roam and if they see a house and the furniture looks like their parents or grandparents furniture, they can't get excited about making this their new home. They need to see that their young, hip style of life will work in a 15 year old house. I call this the "Pottery Barn" generation. This is a style of decorating that a 30ish age buyer likes and can relate too and they can't relate to a house that looks like their parents house. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Studies show, 90% of buyers cannot visualize the potential of a space with the current home owners taste and belongings. It shouldn't matter, but it does. However, if they visit a house that is 15 years old that has been updated through the years and has current style furnishings and accessories, they will get excited about it and most likely, this will be the house that they choose to purchase. This house was marketed with the "target market" (buyer) in mind. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

One chair was too small, the next chair was too big and the last chair was JUST RIGHT! Buying a home is a lot like that. <br />
<br />
<br />
For example, Mr. & Mrs. Buyer are relocating to another town with a job transfer. They have sold their previous property, have money for a down payment, closing cost, moving expenses and have the required amount of reserve money that the mortgage company has required for unexpected emergencies.<br />
<br />
There are 3 houses on their list of houses to consider in the area where they want to live<br />
<br />
<strong>House A: Fixer-Upper</strong>. Needs repairs, updating and an over-all "facelift", however, meets their needs as far as size, location and school district. It's going to require time, expense and expertise that Mr. & Mrs. Buyer doesn't have. <br />
<br />
<strong>House B: Beautifully Decorated !</strong> and located just down the street from House A, has been professionally decorated for the current home owner. The rooms have been painted and wallpapered in the home sellers favorite colors, the children's rooms have beautiful murals painted on the walls with princesses and favorite super heroes . The flooring, all though beautiful, is light in color and the buyers have 3 teenagers and 2 dogs. To make the house work for Mr. & Mrs. Buyers family, everything will need to be changed to go with their current furnishings and families needs. The house will need to be repainted, new flooring installed and the children's bedrooms will have to be changed to suit their teen age children. Again, another property that will require time and expense that The Buyers do not have.<br />
<br />
<strong>House C: Properly Staged with a <u>Buyer </u>In Mind!</strong> It's in the same neighborhood as Houses A & B , it has been professionally prepared and showcased to appeal to a broader amount of buyers. The walls are freshly painted with neutral colors that will go with Mr. & Mrs. Buyers current furnishings, the flooring is family and pet friendly, everything from the countertops, to lighting and bathroom fixtures has been updated to current styles. The family can move right in and begin their life in a new town without having to do one thing to this house. <br />
<br />
The message of this story is to understand that whether your house needs updating and repairing, or has been beautifully decorated and it should be in an issue of House Beautiful, they both require the same amount of work for a buyer to make it their own . Someone is going to have to spend time and money to make them ready for a buyer to move right in. If you CAN find a buyer that is willing to make the needed changes, the offer will be much lower than it would have cost you to make the changes yourself.<br />
<br />
So, go ahead and save yourself the frustration of low ball offers or too much time on the market and make your property "JUST RIGHT" for a buyer.Nanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08558917902720986321noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508382311131553516.post-51004458059208126862011-08-25T16:45:00.000-04:002011-08-25T16:45:01.981-04:00Replacing And Updating<br />

"I know my carpet, countertops and fixtures are dated and need replacing, but I'll just give the buyer credit for that. Anyway, how do I know that I will be making the right replacement choices for the next owner?"<br />
<br />
Back in the good ole days, when real estate was selling like hot cakes, all that was required to attract a buyer was to have a clean and neat house. To say that real estate has changed over the last 4 years is an understatement. Now, we're all talking about "staging" and updating our houses in order to get them sold. As a seller, it's difficult to wrap your head around the fact that you may have to spend some money in order to sell your property. You're seeing dollars signs being subtracted from your bottom line. <br />
<br />
If you are thinking this.... what do you think a buyer is thinking? If they see that light fixtures, carpet, etc need to be replaced, all they see are dollar signs rolling around in their head. <br />
<br />
By the time a buyer has paid the down payment, closing cost and moving expenses, there usually isn't any money left to spend on updating a property. "However, the house down the street has a similar plan and it's already been updated......let buy that one! We can move right in"!<br />
<br />
The days of "I'll just give them credit for the updates" are over. If you CAN find a buyer that is willing to make the changes, they are usually looking for a "good deal" and will make a low ball offer to compensate for the expenses of updating. The offer will be much lower than it would have cost you to make the changes yourself. You lose!<br />
<br />
As for making the correct replacement choices.....talk to your agent or have a staging consultation to get the advice needed to make the right choice. A home staging consultation is usually around $150 - $275. <br />
<br />
Why risk having your house sit on the market while other updated houses around you are selling?<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">I get a great many inquiries about staging vacant houses and how it works. These inquiries can be either from real estate agents or home owners that have vacant property and are considering having the property staged so that it will show better.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Well, it 's a good bit more than that. <br />
<br />
It's usually a 4 step process starting with an initial consultation with a home staging professional reviewing the home, taking photos, drawing diagrams and taking measurements on every detail needed to complete the job. This is when budget and goals are discussed with the home owner. <br />
<br />
Once the home owner decides to proceed, the professional consultant meets with a furniture rental company with which they have a good and reliable working relationship and design a plan. Then the pieces that best suits the home and the sellers budget are chosen. Most furniture rental companies require a 2-3 month minimum rental contract and the monthly rental fee is paid directly to the rental company<br />
<br />
<strong>This is where most people think that the job ends ......not so.</strong> The day that the furniture is to arrive at the property, the consultant and their assistants meet the rental movers and direct where all of the pieces are to be placed. The consultant then starts adding tons of additional accessories in the form of bed linens, wall art, plants, trees, table decor, pillows, throws, light furniture, knick knacks and materials. These touches create the emotions, the feelings of the house and what turns the house into a home. This is where the professional home staging consultant shines, creating the emotional connection points that draws a buyer into a room so that they will linger a little bit longer and begin to start imagining this as their home. A monthly rental fee of the accessories is paid to the staging company. <br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">A few days before the house is to close in escrow, the home stager meets the furniture rental company again and spends the day de-staging the home. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">What all this boils down to in dollars in cents is a staging service fee, a monthly furniture and accessory rental fee. The cost is usually anywhere from 1/2 to 2% of the asking price and based on the size of the house and number of rooms that are to be staged. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">This is usually the place where the owner suffers from sticker shock, but be reminded, *statistics show that homes that were on the market without staging, on average took 9 months to sell (across the country). Those same owners had their homes professionally staged and they sold, on average within 2 months. <strong>WOW! That's 9 months vs 2 months!</strong></div><br />
This is an investment in selling your house, not an expense. Making extra mortgage payments while the house sits on the market....that's and expense.<br />
<br />
You may want to go over the formula below, to figure out if you <strong>can "afford" to stage or not;</strong><br />
Mortgage + expenses (utilities etc.) = Monthly expenses<br />
Monthly expenses X 9 months (avg. time un-staged) = Cost to list house un-staged<br />
Savings: Expenses X 7 months (average time on market reduced) – staging fee = Savings if you stage your house first!<br />
<br />
Note: If you have a price reduction you can also add that into the loss you are taking by listing a property un-staged.<br />
