Home Staging Should Include the Male Perspective
Professional home stagers consult with homeowners on ways to sell their homes quickly and for the most money possible, but often lost in the design process is the fact that men are involved in buying decisions as well. When having your home staged, it’s important to remember to appeal to both sexes and do some things that will pique a man’s interest just as much as a woman’s. Professional stagers take into account buyer demographics, buying psychology, and utilize design elements in planning out the rooms and space and the use of lighting and its effect on the space. Don’t

8 Home Staging MISTAKES!!
You may love your home, but that doesn’t mean that everyone coming through the door will feel the same way. What may be “charming” to the seller may seem off-putting to a prospective buyer.

Color Psychology for Homes
I frequently suggest that homeowners paint before placing their homes on the market. Don’t be offended! I want my customers to understand “color psychology,” which focuses on color’s effect on human behavior and emotion. Since people’s reaction to color is immediate, color has a tremendous influence on the choices they make every day. Color choices are very personal and when selling your home, it’s critical to appeal to the greatest number of potential buyers. With so many people beginning their search for a home on the Internet today, your home and listing photos must stand out from your

How to Sell a House!
Still a tough market. Words of wisdom: Listen to your Realtor. If he or she isn’t talking – get a new one. Getting your home sold requires effort. If you have your home on the market and there are no showings – there could be a number of things wrong.

No “wow” factor and you’re just a plain Jane! Granite, travertine, stainless appliances, iron stair railings,
