Staging is more important than ever!



I just help sell another home that I staged!  It was a small home in Lewisville & had been on the market for 60 days with no furniture in it.  Clean basic white walls. 

We painted it a neutral warm color and staged each room to show a simple, tasteful purpose for each room & the home sold in 21 days.  We did not even lower the price in this home.  Sometimes a buyer needs a vision.  Don't overlook what a few minor changes can do for a space.

If you can't seem to find a vision or have the time to make it happen then hire a professional.  It doesn't have to be cost prohibitive!  Most Stagers, such as myself, have different price points based on what you need and what you want and it does make a difference in todays economy in getting that home SOLD!

Loving this Fall weather!

Beautiful weather the past few days!  Don't forget to take some time to look at your yard...this is the time to assess what is dying out from summer and go ahead and trim it back or pull it.  Plant those bulbs for Spring & start putting in ornamental cabbage, mums, cyclamen & pansies to give you a pretty bed that will last through the winter. (At least in the DFW Metroplex area.. :))  Giving your shrubs a good trim now will give you a neat look that will last you until the new spring growth starts to occur. 

Plan now for that lush spring lawn.  Give the yard a good dusting of Weed & Feed and then in a few weeks a final coverage with pre-emergance.  It will help get ahead of those weeds before the spring rains!

Inside take a look around and take a little time to swap out summer pillows, window panels & add the extra blanket to your bed and add a nice throw to your favorite reading chair or corner of the couch.  Look for ways to add a touch of seasonal color to each room.  This will  give the inside of your home that texture and comfort that will chase the chills away!

Happy Fall everyone!
