Vacant Home Not Selling?

Has your vacant home been on the market for over 3 months?

Are you getting traffic through your vacant home?

Have you had an offer on your vacant home?

Do the empty rooms need defining?

Are the empty rooms cold and uninviting?

Is your vacant home another plain vanilla box?

Vacant homes are on the rise, and in some neighborhoods all look alike inside. So what makes a buyer pick one house over another?

The buyers are out there, but they're looking for a house in perfect condition, a great price, great location, with a beautiful interior. With the excess of housing inventory, buyers can now be choosey. But, not all want a foreclosure that needs work, most home buyers want a move-in ready home.

Staging enhances the homes best assets, defines rooms, gives it an updated look, and makes it show beautifully. If the houses are similar in your neighborhood, and yours is strategically staged with furniture and accessories, guess who's will be remembered? The staged one! If you have looked at homes, you know how true this is.

A vacant home needs to be staged. Hiring a professional stager to bring in furniture, accessories, wall art, greenery, bedding, linens, rugs, lamps and more will set your home apart from all of the other plain, vanilla boxes.

Real estate agents will want to show a staged home...why? Because, they know that a staged home not only shows well, but is usually move-in ready, and will sell more quickly than a vanilla box.

Staging your home really helps it sell!

Love it, Lyn Sims is a RE/MAX Realtor© in Chicago's NW Suburbs that shows her clients the importance of staging. Home staging Does make a difference! I agree, the proof is in the photos. These are photos from houses in Schaumburg.

*These are not houses I staged.

Via Lyn Sims ~ Chicago Northwest Suburbs (Schaumburg Illinois ~ RE/MAX Suburban):

Advice to Sellers - Staging your home really helps it sell!

Last week was really a 'visual' week in extremes. My one post entitled 'The glamorous job of a Realtor©' tried to show you the kinds of homes that we might see during the course of showing or on listing appointments. One of the things that I desperately try to point out to sellers is the competition that is currently on the market in our area. When I do a listing appointment I come armed with how many homes are in a particular price range, absorption rates for your city and a game plan to get you sold quickly and on your way to your new home!

What's the most overlooked piece of advice? Staging your home. If you are already rolling your eyes and starting to whine in your head - 'But Lyn, my home is nice right now'. 'But Lyn, I have to live here ya know'. I've got news for you, buyers don't care about what you think. They want to purchase a home that looks great, smells great and has the best price!

So, where do you fit in? Where do you want to fit in? Why would you spend time detailing your car to sell on Craigslist but not 'detail your home'? It's the same thing. You're doing it to create optimum value for the buyer.

Here's is a series of posts that I think will help you get an idea of what 'the market' is looking for and what trends can help you.

Staging is not a bunch of 'hooey'.

Shiny Brass is indeed the kiss of death with buyers whether you believe it or not!

The 'dalmatian' paint job! Make sure you don't do this.

Five keys to a successful sale!

Can I do anything with 100 bucks?

Seller finally fesses up about ugly wallpaper!

Yes, I'm asking that you clean the stove - is that a problem?

Is that your refrigerator?

Mr. Seller I tried to help you!

Mr. Seller - please unwrap your walls!

It better 'Shine'

All these photos are from successfully closed homes or staged homes on the market now! These are real homes in the Schaumburg area!

My New Best Friend: COFFEE FILTERS

25 Uses for Coffee Filters...Who would have thought! Home Stagers, forget the paper towels, grab the coffee filters instead. Something else to add to our toolboxes!! Great for putting in between dishes when being stored. Last minute touch-ups, I can think of several ways we could use these.

Thanks, Dorie Dillard with Coldwell Banker United, from Austin, TX.

************************************************************

Via Dorie Dillard: Canyon Creek & NW Austin Living (Coldwell Banker United):

Coffee filters....who knew the wonderful uses! You can buy 1,000 at the Dollar Tree for almost nothing even the large ones and look at what you can do with them:

1. Cover bowls or dishes when cooking in the microwave. Coffee filters make excellent filters.

2. Clean windows, mirrors and chrome...Coffee filters are lint-free so they'll leave windows sparkling.

3. Protect china by separating your good dishes with a coffee filter between each dish.

4. Filter broken cork from wine. If you break the cork when opening a wine bottle, filter the wine through a coffee filter.

5. Protect a cast iron skillet. Place a coffee filter in the skillet to absorb moisture and prevent rust.

6. Apply shoe polish. Ball up a lint-free coffee filter

7. Recycle frying oil. After frying, strain oil through a sieve lined with a coffee filter.

8. Weigh chopped foods. Place chopped ingredients in a coffee filter on a kitchen scale.

9. Hold tacos. Coffee filters make convenient wrappers for messy foods.

10. Stop the soil from leaking out of a plant pot. Line a plant pot with a coffee filter to prevent the soil from going through the drainage holes.

11. Prevent a popsicle from dripping. Poke one or two holes as needed in a coffee filter.

12. Use as a disposable "snack bowl" for popcorn, chips, etc.

13. Put a few in a plate and put your fried bacon, french fries, chicken fingers, etc. n them. It soaks out all the grease.

14. Keep in the bathroom. They make great "razor nick fixers."

15. As a sewing backing. Use a filter as an easy-to-tear backing for embroidering or appliqueing soft fabrics.

16. Put baking soda into a coffee filter and insert into shoes or a closet to absorb or prevent odors.

17. Use them to strain soup stock and to tie fresh herbs in to put in soups and stews.

18. Use a coffee filter to prevent spilling when you add fluids to your car.

19. Use them as a spoon rest while cooking and clean up small counter spills.

20. Can use to hold dry ingredients when baking or when cutting a piece of fruit or veggies. Saves on having extra bowls to wash.

21. Use them to wrap Christmas ornaments for storage.

22. Use them to remove fingernail polish when out of cotton balls.

23. Use them to sprout seeds. Simply dampen the coffee filter, place seeds inside, fold it and place it in a plastic baggie until they sprout.

24. Use coffee filters as blotting paper for pressed flowers. Place the flowers between two coffee filters and put the coffee filters in phone book.

25. Do you think we used expensive strips to wax eyebrow? Use strips of coffee filters.

                            OH YEAH....THEY ARE GREAT TO USE IN YOUR COFFEE MAKERS, TOO!

Speaking of Colors...Vancouver Olympics Nailed It!

I wrote a post called "Colors that Appeal to Men vs. Women". The two colors that were appealing to both genders were blues and greens. If you haven't seen the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics... they nailed it with colors!

I'm so drawn to these fantastic colors and think they did a great job marketing to both females and males for not only graphics and design but for media, advertising and marketing. It is also perfect for depicting the scenery and colors of Canada.

With an International viewing audience and range of ages watching, I feel they have successfully covered the bases with the colors they've chosen.

How do you think they've done?

Shadow Inventory-Releasing over 7 Million Homes

What does Shadow Inventory mean?

Foreclosed homes and condos that banks have taken back, but have yet to put on the market.

Bloomberg article here.

Shadow Overhang Inventory Problem.

According to the short sales academy, there are 7 Million more coming that the government has created in this shadow foreclosure inventory. That's 2 times the amount of homes that are currently on the market now!

The government's Making Home Affordable (MHA) modification program and FHA's Hope for Homeowners refinance program DON'T WORK for borrowers that are too wealthy or owe too much on their homes.

Bank of America and other big lenders are looking at putting 1,000's of homes back on market. Bank of America alone took title to tens of thousands of homes each month towards the end of 2009. They are releasing 500 a month and plan on rolling out 6000 homes.

As you can see, the biggest mass of foreclosures hasn't even hit us yet!

So what does this mean?

If your house hasn't sold and the offers aren't coming your way in this already competitive market, it may be time to change your marketing strategy.

Now more than ever, you must have your house market ready, in great condition, priced right and professionally staged. The time is now, don't wait, catch the spring sales by getting your home ready now.

Don't delay call a Professional Home Stager today!

Chinese New Year Las Vegas Style

Recently, while in Las Vegas at the 2010 RESA conference, I got a chance one nightto walk around with another stager Steve from Austin and take snap some photos and do a little site seeing on the strip. Las Vegas is amazing, one building is more spectacular than the next. You are instantly transformed when walking into the "Venetian", some wonderful architectural features and paintings just like you would see in Europe.

Colors that Appeal to Men vs. Women

Colors and shapes

From what I've heard and read there are certain colors that obviously appeal to men versus women that are pleasing. Makes sense, we're wired differently. I know what colors I like, but they aren't necessarily the same that appeal to my friends or males.

I preface this study by saying he wasn't talking about a home or colors that sell a house, he was referencing colors that are pleasing to us that we are drawn to in general. It could be any many different forms.

An interesting study by Joe Hallock on colors by gender and age can be found here polls on color preferences.

Here are findings:

Men's favorites: Blue, Green & Black (Certain shades of Blue were less pleasing like powder Blue.)

Male Top 3 Favorite Colors: Blue, Green, Black (2 cool and one neutral color)

Male Top 3 Least Favorite Colors: Brown, Orange, Purple (neutral, warm, mixed colors)

Men don't like: Pink and Purple, they find them too feminine.

Women's favorites: Blue, Green, Turquoise, Pink, Purple, Lavender

Female Top 3 Favorite Colors: Blue, Purple, Green (all cool colors)

Female Top 3 Least Favorite Colors: Orange, Brown, Gray (warm and neutral colors)

Blue and Green are the universal colors for both men and women.

The C.O.P.E. study showed these findings. How Does Gender Color our Preferences and Decisions on the WWW?

What is the preferred color for men and women on thewww and e-commerce? Blue! Yellow, Red and Green was next in preference.

Do you agree?
What color is most pleasing to you?
What color attracts you to certain websites or ads online?

My favorite color is still pink, would I decorate my house with it...no, not unless I had a girl. Obviously it is a poplular color look at "Victorias Secret", that store appeals to women and men!

*I'm not referring to paint colors to use when selling a house.

Quickie Home Staging Tip of the Week-Bathrooms

Photo courtesy brigdat.com

We often overlook the guestbaths, or powder rooms when updating an outdated home for staging. Granted these are not rooms that you will want to put the bulk of your money into. But if you have left-over pieces from your kitchen, it would be well worth it to use it on a vanity. Any fabricator can cut it for you.

You can also visit granite wholesalers and find remnants to use, you can find these for around $100, you will not only impress potential buyers, but receive a greater ROI and ultimately have a perceived higher value.

Ode to Odors

Odors are a sellers worst enemy and a buyers biggest turn-off. Read Deena Cottingham, from Green Apple Staging & Images great tips!

*********************************************************************************

Via Deena Cottingham, Home Stager & Photographer (GreenApple Staging & Images, Calgary Staging & Photography):

When I do Pre-Market Consultations as a Home Stager, I often see -- and smell -- a variety of scented products throughout the home. There's the plug-in variety, the spray variety, the stash-in-a-corner-and-please-absorb-the-smell-in-here variety.

I often ask about their presence . . . is there an issue in this room? Are you worried about an odor problem? Most home owners shrug and say that they think it's just prudent. You know . . . just in case.

The problem is that these products designed to "add a pleasant scent", are themselves usually way too strong and generally unpleasant. I mean, I'm pretty sure "mountain breezes" don't usually smell like eau de toilet in real life! And I don't really want every cell in my olafactory glands hyper-stimulated with "Freesia Fantasy", thank you very much. (Plus, I have to wonder about the health implications of all these chemicals floating around in the air I breathe).

Worse yet, the presence of these products often alert a potential buyer that there may in fact be an odor causing issue that you are trying to hide. And besides, no product out there is going to hide wet dog. It'll just make for a hideous . . . and I believe, probably toxic . . . combination of scent molecules.

Okay, I exaggerate (slightly), but according to About.com, the number one turn off for a potential buyer is strong odors in the home. Um, so think pets, smoking, cooking, mold, mildew and anything basically musty, soggy, and otherwise stale or disgusting.

So instead of masking your home's odors, embrace them! Tell yourself -- as the home owner -- there is no such thing as a bad smell. It is your friend, and very useful information, telling you to take action!

First of all, get an objective opinion about your home and it's inherent smell (that you are totally incapable of detecting . . . trust me). And please, don't kill the messenger or kick this gift-horse in the mouth! Thank them for their honesty, because it will allow you to make your home more marketable.

Secondly, find the source of the smell and deal with it. By "deal with it", I mean, obliterate it. Spraying Febreeze on the sofa isn't going to do it. If this means calling in the professionals, or replacing carpet, you just have to do it. The cost before you go on the market will be far less than the discount a buyer will demand to remedy your smelly problem--if they are even willing to take it on.

And lastly, go on the market with confidence. Once you've addressed this huge deal breaker, not only will buyers respond much more favorably to your home, maybe . . . just maybe . . . you'll enjoy living there a little bit more yourself.

Agents...are you missing out on a great referral source?

Every real estate agent should read this blog by Valerie Saqheddu from Apostle Art Home Staging & Design.

Stagers give referrals to real estate agents, that's pure profit for you, with 0 dollars spent.

Just recommend stagers to your sellers for a home staging consultation, we then in return refer you when we have a client that doesn't have a real estate agent.

It's that simple, and a win-win for all parties involved!

****************************************************************

Via Valerie Sagheddu ~Home Staging Professional, Poconos, PA (Apostle Art Home Staging & Design):

Everyone LOVES referrals right?

Wouldn't it be swell if they just fell from the sky??

Wishful thinking I know, but while they may not come that freely, we certainly love when they do...makes our jobs a whole lot easier!!

There are many great referral sources out there. Being the best at what you do and creating raving fans is naturally going to reward you with many word of mouth referrals. One source you may be missing out on though is being partnered up with a professional Home Stager.

If you haven't had much experience working with stagers, you may not realize that we often get called before homeowners have chosen a realtor and we frequently get called in when sellers are tired of their realtors, ready to expire and looking for an agent who is willing to WORK for them!

Soooo....who gets my referrals? The agents who value what I do for their properties. The agents who understand how important Staging is in the process of preparing a home for the market because those are the agents who I know are going to work hard and offer every marketing tool available to my clients. Those are the agents who are on top of their game and are willing to try new strategies with an open mind and be honest with their sellers...not wishy-washy!

Oh, and did I mention the added bonus when you get a referral from a stager? You get a staged home to sell...Perfectly prepared and ready to market...we even do the pictures for you!!!!

Now that's not just a good referral, that is a great referral...kind of like pennies from Heaven!

Get Your ASK In Gear And Get Your House Sold

Another informative blog by Sharon Tara from New Hampshire. All home stagers are not alike, nor do they all offer the same service. It is like comparing apples to oranges.

**************************************************************

Via Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations):

Putting your house on the market? One of the most important decisions you will make is choosing the professionals who will help you sell. Not all Realtors and Home Stagers are created equal.

Just because they are professional, it doesn't mean they are proficient.

In order to choose the right professionals, you are going to have to invest some time.

This is not a decision to take lightly.

You are going to have to ask a lot of questions.

Get your ASK in gear if you want to get your house sold!

When choosing a professional, it is best to interview at least three candidates.  Don't be afraid to ask a lot of questions...you are depending on them to help sell your greatest asset.

Questions to ask Realtors include:

Are you full or part time?

Do you work predominantly with buyers or sellers?

How knowledgeable are you with my area?

Do you have a website and/or blog? How often do you update your website or blog?

How do you intend to market my property other than listing it on MLS?

Will my property be listed on your website?

Do you use video?

What will the cost be? Are there any fees beyond your commission?

Will I be working directly with you or with an assistant?

Can you provide references?

Questions to ask a Home Stager include:

How long have you been in business?

Do you specialize in occupied or vacant properties?

Are you familiar with my area and do you know the target buyer for my home?

Do you have a portfolio of your work?

Are the photos of your actual work, or do you use stock photos?

Do you provide digital photos of your completed work? What is the cost?

Are you registered with the state?

Are you fully insured?

What are your rates?

Can you provide references?

NOTE: At this time there is no independent organization that certifies or licenses home stagers, and no government oversight regulating home staging business practices. If a home stager has a designation after their name, it comes from whatever training courses they have taken.

Ask questions to get answers to what is important to you. You are not looking for the "best" realtor or stager. You are looking for the best realtor or stager for you. Make your selection based on the answers given and how comfortable the people make you feel.

It Takes Five Keys To Unlock The Secret To A Successful Sale

An excellent post by collegue Sharon Tara of New Hampshire, of Sara Tara Transformations on "The Secret to a Successful Sale.

Via Sharon Tara New Hampshire Home Stager (Sharon Tara Transformations):

Today's buyer is doing their research online. It's more important than ever to be an informed and prepared seller. Doing your homework and strategically marketing your house, with help from the right professionals, is the fastest way to a successful sale.

It takes five keys to unlock the secret to a successful sale:



This, in my opinion, is the most important key. Listing before the house is 100% ready is a mistake that you will regret.  Many sellers are talked into premature signing by realtors who are afraid of losing the listing. Repeat after me: "You don't get a second chance to make a great first impression."

Do your homework! Do they have an online presence? What marketing tools do they bring to the table? Check out websites and ask for references. Check the references. Look at their current listings online. Pictures are worth a thousand words...do not hire a realtor with poor MLS photos!   Don't make your selection based on commission - you may just get what you pay for.

A home staging consultation will arm you with the information you need to make your house more appealing to buyers.  Home staging increases perceived value and will help to justify your asking price. Home staging is not decorating, it's marketing.

Almost all buyers start their search online. The photos of your house will determine whether you get calls for showings or potential buyers pass by your listing. Your photos are your greatest marketing tool. Do not underestimate their power!



Once your house is ready, it needs to stay in a constant state of readiness, and be available for showing at a moment's notice. Sure, it's inconvenient and requires some extra work on your part...but the alternative, being comfortable and lazy, means staying on the market for a much longer period of time. Every day on the market costs you money.

ABC Extreme Makeover: Home Edition: Kemah,TX...and I helped!

The home that was torn down. Photo talk of the bay.

What a story this family has, 15 total family members, 13 of which were living in a travel trailer after Hurricane Ike damaged their homes roof, making it collapse. They have 4 biological children, the rest are Foster children some that are special needs kids, they've adopted, and want to adopt more. Fema provided two trailers, but took them away a few months ago. How they've lived like this, I can't even fathom. They were nominated, and the TV show Extreme Makeover Home Edition, made their way to Kemah, TX to give them the news, that they were the deserving family that would be getting a brand new home.

Empty lot without house. Photo talk of the bay.

The Beach family was on their way to Disney World after the "knock on the door". The crews didn't waste any time Friday, they cleared out their lot of trees and starting demo on the house, cleared the debris and brought in what I heard to be 16 loads of dirt to raise up the lot for the foundation. They were still bringing in dirt when I left at 9pm. They had just brought in a crew of concrete people around 8pm, and I was told the foundation would be laid at around 3am. They then started framing the house Saturday, all within 24 hours of when they started. It was like watching fast forward in real life.

We also had the coldest weekend ever here, in the 20's that night.

They were framing it out yesterday and I heard they were finished around 1am. The windows and roof were suppose to be done by Sunday night.

I will blog with updates, but what an amazing experience to be a part of, I can't wait to see the progress next week. I worked the first real day to work, and carried plywood, 2 X 4's and help build a walkway for the public and spectators to watch. I also helped with the flooring in the VIP tent, and even carried Lime bags away, I felt like a real construction worker, ok, maybe not, but we had fun pretending!

The episode is scheduled to air in March, and the "Move the Bus" reveal is January the 14th. I won't reveal much, but I can tell you the family will come home to an absolute "Dream Home".

A truly rewarding experience!

Does Vinegar Disinfect?

Vinegar has been used for cleaning for years. It is a safe, non-toxic cleaning aid. Many people use it to clean their kitchens and bathrooms. I've seen this used and wondered how effective it was at killing germs, bacteria, or disinfecting.

Some households swear by it, and I'm not saying it doesn't clean, but does it disinfect? I wouldn't feel comfortable using it on a cutting board where I'd just had raw chicken.

Many businesses are using vinegar now to clean thier restrooms and kitchens. I don't feel quite comfortable with this practice.

But I'm not finding any studies that are conclusive with scientific evidence that states it is a disinfectant.

There are articles all over the web quoting Michael Mullen of Heinz, but I couldn't find the origination of this from Heinz. Heinz (they make vinegar) spokesperson Michael Mullen states that a straight 5% solution of vinegar kills 99% of bacteria, 82% of mold, and 80% of germs (viruses). However, he also states Heinz can't claim that vinegar is a disinfectant since the company has not registered it as a pesticide with the EPA

Heloise claims it does, but still no scientific evidence, she wants to write a book about it. Seems this has been a question for many years. Read Heloise 48 interview here.

The Vinegar Institute doesn't make any claims, only that it deodorizes.

I did come across this study from the researchers at The University of North Carolina. It stated the commercial products killed almost all of the germs. The natural altenatives, vinegar and baking soda, paled in comparison, killing 90% or less of the germs. Well, maybe I have my anwer after all!

One study stated a solution of vinegar and bleach was effective in killing germs. Of course it would, bleach was used!

Vinegar can be used for 100's of things, but I will stick to a disinfectant to sanitize my kitchen where raw poultry, meats or eggs have been especially in the bathrooms. You don't have to use straight bleach and inhale the fumes, use the disinfectant wipes instead.

Home Staging in Houston 2010

If you still have a house for sale in this market, and haven't staged or thought about staging it, why not?

Houston has a large inventory of houses for sale in most all areas. If your house is priced right and the condition and location are on track, then what is the problem?

If you don't know, then why not get a professional opinion on your home and see how it comes across to potential buyers. It may be something simple that can be easily remedied. Homeowners can't objectively evaluate thier own homes...we all have a connection to it at some level.

As professional stagers we don't have that connection, but are sensitive and aware of how difficult it is to move. If you would like home staging advice, recomendations and tips give us a call for a home staging consultation today!

May the Year 2010 bring for you Health, Happiness and Sucess filled with Peace, Hope & togetherness of your family & friends...Wishing You A Very Happy 2010!

Famous Quotes for The New Year:

Ann Landers
Let this coming year be better than all the others. Vow to do some of the things you've always wanted to do but couldn't find the time. Call up a forgotten friend. Drop an old grudge, and replace it with some pleasant memories. Vow not to make a promise you don't think you can keep. Walk tall, and smile more. You'll look ten years younger. Don't be afraid to say, 'I love you'. Say it again. They are the sweetest words in the world.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Look not mournfully into the past. It comes not back again. Wisely improve the present. It is thine. Go forth to meet the shadowy future, without fear, and with a manly heart.

Henry Ward Beecher
Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith.
