Staging Homes for SaleStaging is a hot topic for home sellers, as evidenced by the popularity of TV shows like "Designed To Sell," "Buy Me" and "Flip This House." In August 2007, NAEBA released the report "How to not get tricked by staging - and potentially save $5,645 when you buy your home." The report outlines some of the common staging practices and how they might influence a buyer to purchase the wrong home, or a home that might be hiding serious defects. The report includes examples of staging and cautionary tales from real estate agents working directly with buyers. "The whole intent of staging is to get the buyer emotionally involved with the home." Jon BoydGet the whole story and FREE report by clicking here!

"The good, the bad and the ugly." My business is going to the dogs. And, that's dog-gone great. My basset is an important part of my marketing strategy for finding buyers. And, it works for finding sellers also. If I have to race off to a listing and get fido, then I do it. In this market you don't want to lose a showing because the pet is home and the sellers are working. During my listing presentations, I let the sellers know that. But, I don't think that is enough. In fact I know it's not enough. I think it is time to step up with some listing marketing emphasizing that I am the "Pet Friendly" realtor of choice. I'M OPEN FOR IDEAS. I have a strong internet presence and because of that I am one of the leaders in my office in closings from the selling side. I'm no where near the top o...

Ask for a table overlooking the ocean.
