Are you serious about selling your home?  Experts agree that a staged home is shown more by agents, Internet pictures show better, and a staged home is proven to sell faster and for more profit. You must bring out the best features and showcase your home.  It's all about marketing your home to the very best.  I guarantee that when buyers and agents come to look they will be excited.  That is what you want in this economy.  Excited clients buy homes.  So talk to your agent and be pro active in the selling of your home.  It is a huge investment, so don't take chances.  Do it right the first time.  Insist on staging or at the very least a staging consultation.  For a minimal amount you will benefit in the long run.  And yes it can be a tax write off, ask your CPA. Call for staging or consu... 01/11/2010

As a Home Stager and Redesign specialist, I will be attending the IRIS conference in Co.

This is the question of the day.  Should you stage your home? Here are some tips that will help you to decide if staging is for you.  First:  Check the local market.  In a hot market, you won't need staging as much as you will in a soft market.   Second:  Consider your busy schedule.  How much time do you have to get your home in the best "market appeal" as possible.  Hiring a home stager may be money well spent.  Room by Room Interiors will give your home that "dynamic market appeal" usually in just one day.  It will save you alot of stress and aggravation.  Especially if you need to sell quickly. Third:  How long has your house been on the market and how much interest has it shown.  Staging may be the answer or at the very least a pre-listing consultation & plan. Fourth:  Ask your Rea... 01/26/2009

De-clutter/Clean/Remove are the three most common recommendations. It is surprising how much stuff we can accumulate over time. Personal pictures and religious items should be out of site. You don't have to pack these items away you can maybe put your grandchildren's picture inside your medicine cabinet or car. This is also for privacy. In this day and age you don't want every "Tom, Dick, & Harry" to see your family. After that is done then clean, clean, clean! Make your home sparkle. Windows, drapes and light fixtures, closets, inside and outside, should all be fresh and clean. And lastly, remove any furniture that is not the right scale for your home. Super-stuffed sofas are very comfy to live with, but they can make your house feel small and cramped. Again you have a team use them. R... 03/07/2008

     Can't seem to sell your home?  It's all about marketing.      Dynamic market appeal!  Take the "ho-hum" out of your house and replace it with the "wow, I love it" factor.  Stage your home.  Anyone can put furniture in a home, but you have to showcase the home.  At Staging and Redesign I know how to bring out the positive aspects of the home accenting the architectural features.  With a keen eye I will transform your home so that rooms appear larger (or smaller), draws attention away from close neighbors, or gives function to odd rooms.     Think of your house as a car.  You wouldn't sell your car dirty would you?  No, you would wash, wax, buff, vacuum, and dust.  Why?  Because you know that a clean good looking car will bring a better price.  Thats dynamic market appeal.  OR...

My newest project has been the construction of an IDX system for Manor Realty in Chester California. I have been working for the broker / owner Alan Savage for several years now and constructed a few websites and IDX systems for him.About two years ago I built the first version of the Plumas County IDX search system for Manor Realty and somehow between then and now it got disconnected from the IDX system. Since then I have refined some techniques and SEO for IDX projects to include higher level Google Map API functionality to give a feeling like most of the high end real estate search companies use (Trulia, Zillow).Plumas County is north east of Sacramento and West of Reno NV. In the Sierra Nevada mountains it is a great location for skiing, biking and other recreational activities in t... 07/03/2007

It sounds obvious, but experts say this is an over-site that is soooo easy to fix.  It should be first (1st) on your list.  You would be shocked at what I have seen, actually many of you have seen the same, but it is still just as shocking.  Sparkle makes a difference.  Even though most people don't see behind the couch if you don't clean there someone will notice.  Then they will be looking.  Vacuum behind couches and under beds, scrub stains in carpets and sinks.  Make your house glow.  Ceiling fans and doorknobs.  Open windows.  Have a friend perform the "white glove & sniff" tests.  You are used to your odors but others find them obtrusive.  When it sparkles it sells.  And that goes for anything you want to sell.  Think about product marketing and go for it.Hope this helps.  These a... 06/19/2007
