Via Actively Raining Thoughts-Kathy Streib- Stager-South Florida - 561-914-6224 (Room Service Home Staging):

The way we do things is always changing, especially in how we buy houses. 

It is no longer enough to give your house a new coat of paint and a good cleaning.  Yes, you still need to do this but much more is asked and even expected from today's Buyers. 

                                                                                                                        paint

Ask most Realtors and they will tell you that today's Buyers want move-in ready houses. 

If your house is in need of TLC your potential Buyer may either walk and move on to the next listing OR they could offer much less than your asking price to compensate for what they think it will cost them to get it up to par. 

So just why is it that today's Buyers want Move-In Ready Houses?   moving

    1.  More than ever both parties in a couple work full time outside the home.   Many don't want to have to spend their limited free time renovating, updating or repairing. 

    2.  With the current economy, the non-DIY Buyer may not have the money or inclination to pay contractors or service people to get their "new" home ready. 
   
    3.  There are too many other comparable homes on the market; having a move-in ready home will help it stand out in the competition.

    4.  Buyers may want to do their own renovations and upgrades and buying a home that is in move-in condition gives them the option to do this in their own time frame. 

Want more information in getting your home ready?  


         Contact your local Professional Realtor to learn about current market expectations. 

                  Contact your local Professional Home Stager for a Consultation and detailed report to learn                               how to make your home competitive in this market                                     

                           Contact your local Professional Home Inspector to address any mechanical, structural                                            or electrical issues your home may have  BEFORE  you list it.

Looking for Apartment Living in Fayetteville AR

If apartment living was for me this place would certainly make the short list.  This is Mountain Ranch in Fayetteville.  Large pool, clubhouse, theater, and fitness center.

"My cooking sucks! I need a better oven, what kind do you use?" - tools or skills

Just got finished reading an article by a portrait photographer where the author address one of the most irritating comments photographers receive:  your camera takes great pictures!        

She very eloquently compares that comment to giving the oven credit for someone's decadent masterpiece.

 

Imagine that you’re baking dessert for a party.  It’s your special recipe: the one everyone asks for.  You make it from scratch, of course, never looking at the recipe that you committed to memory so long ago.  Sugar, beaten eggs, sift in the flour…  you’re crafting something delicious from basic elements.  Now you’re at the party and everyone is gushing about your dessert.  The flavor!  The texture!  But most of all you’re being asked, “what kind of oven do you have?  It makes great cakes!”

That’s pretty much how a photographer feels when people look at their photos and say, “your camera takes great pictures.”

 

Then she goes on to hand her expensive camera which "takes great pictures" to a non photographer and she compares his photos to hers.  http://www.erinfarrellphotography.com/theblog/?p=817

 

 

I'll admit, comments like that do bother me a little.  Not that I need credit for what I do, because lets face it, I know all about the hundreds of hours I put into mastering my craft, I don't need you to tell me. 

But the reason it bothers me is that I know the same person who would go out and spend $3k to get a camera like mine really cares about the quality of the images they present.  And I know they are going to be really disappointed when they realize that a great camera doesn't take pro quality photos any more than a great oven makes you a master chef.

 

On a side note, my cooking really does suck, but I don't plan on purchasing a new oven any time soon.

We were asked to shoot this virtual tour of a vacant lot.  It's a commercial lot in a high traffic area, so the goal was not necessarily to capture the land but to capture the traffic and nearby businesses. Here's the virtual tour:
