ONE HOUR HOME STAGING ANY SELLER CAN DO!

I thought this a great article by a fellow Realtor in Texas... Staging your home with simple fixes.

Via Beverly Carlson (Carlson Properties):

 

A ONE HOUR HOME STAGING ANY SELLER STILL LIVING IN A HOME CAN ACCOMPLISH!  

HERE ARE FOUR TASKS THAT WILL SURPRISE YOU AT WHAT A DIFFERENCE THEY MAKE IN THE LOOK OF YOUR HOME FOR SALE.  The best part is that there is nothing to purchase, just use what you have.   These tips ASSUME THAT  the cleaning and decluttering has been done.  Staging is the icing on the cake.  Staging is tugging on the emotional heart strings to appeal to the buyer. For the seller it helps to start letting go of the home faster. 

ANYONE CAN ACCOMPLISH THE FOLLOWING IN ONE HOUR WHEN MOTIVATED BY A SHOWING!

 

NUMBER #1:

REMOVE ALL MAGNETS AND PAPERS POSTED ON THE REFRIGERATOR FRONT AND SIDES!  

I really understand this can be a tough task, because if you are like me, sometimes there are REALLY important papers on that refrigerator door.  What you do is take a folder and label it: "IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO BE ON THE REFRIGERATOR DOOR!"  Then date the folder and place inside a kitchen drawer. 

 

NUMBER #2:

SET THE TABLE WITH 4 PLACEMATS  AND 4 PLATES & ADD A CENTERPIECE.  

Place a pretty bowl of fresh fruit in the center of the table. If you ate all the fresh fruit, place a vase of fresh flowers on the table.  Now that it is spring, you probably have flowers or greenery that can be cut from your own yard that will last the day for a showing. 

Here is a recent staged dining table in a vacant townhome dining room.  (Disclaimer, the red apples are fake, if you ask me, I'll tell you where  you can purchase fake apples!)

                                                                                        dining room

NUMBER # 3

MAKE THE MASTER BED WITH A SOLID COVER COMFORTER & ADD CONTRASTING  ACCENT PILLOWS & THROWS.

It is a good idea to have one comforter just for showing!

Here is the Master Bed from  the same vacant townhome as the dining room.    

 

                                                                                bedroom

 

NUMBER # 4  CLEAR THE MASTER BATH VANITY COUNTERS OF ALL PERSONAL ITEMS, YES, EVEN SOAP!  Think hotel suite here,  you would think the hotel room was STILL "dirty" if someone else's  used soap was  laying out.  This one might not seem very practical, because most people do need to clean up every day, however this is one of those tasks that gives great buyer appeal with absolutely no investment necessary.  Clean and clear is free!!!  This task also  falls in the category of the Barb Schwarz saying that says,   "the way you live in a house and the way you market a house are two  different things."  

To stage the now pristine empty counter,  roll or stack 3-5 clean white towels and place in a basket on the counter.   Oh, by the way, be sure the lid is down and any trash cans, toilet scrubber brushes, plungers, all cleaning supplies, mops, brooms,  old  bath rugs are stashed out of sight.  Oh, and check the back of the bathroom door for hanging undergarments.   

One hour later, your home is looking STAGED! 

For help with staging or just more tips, call Beverly Carlson at 325-721-2429.  My portfolio is posted on www.stagedhomes.com.  Type in "Abilene" or my name.

Rebuilding Together Auction Dinner Results

Rebuilding Together Auction Dinner results, resulted in success...

Formerly knows as Christmas in April, Rebuilding Together auction dinner that was held on April 16, 2010 raised more than $21,000 to benefit our community.  The generous donation from the Lake Arrowhead Country Club who donated the facility and staffing.  With that donation the Rebuilding Together committee was able to keep the $25 a head price for the dinner and all proceeds go directly to the Rebuilding Day for next year.  There were six homes this year that have benefited to the Rebuilding Together funds from last year.   Last years auction dinner raised $25,000 toward this years homes.

The benefit is put on by the Rim o'the World association of Realtors and all auction items were donated generously from the community.  We donated a beach comber basket and I think it was great fun putting it together, we were glad to be a part of it.

It will all start again to raise money for next year.  Let us know if you would like to be a part of it.

Highway 330 Update April 2010

The 330 pipe installation is completed and the Highway will be opened earlier than expected.

That's right.  Caltrans officials say the expect Hwy 330 to be reopened by Mid May, if weather allows the agency contractor to stay on schedule.  Excavation has been completed and a new culvert pipe has been installed.

They are now backfilling the pipe and if weather stays on the sunny side they should have it finished in the next two weeks.

I will keep you posted.  Remember that Highway 18 to Lake Arrowhead is not affected by this and you can use route 18 to continue on to Running Springs and Big Bear areas.

Hamiltair Estates Lake Arrowhead

I posted about Hamiltair Estates back in January, but spring is in the air and the lake is calling, so I thought a reminder to those of you looking for a great gated community might like to see it again.

Hamiltair Estates is one of Lake Arrowhead's oldest Gated communities.  Located on the Peninsula on the North~West side of the lake which offers some of the most incredible views of the lake.  As you enter the gate, you are greeted with manicured landscaping through out and rolling lake front and interior estate homes. 

Established by Tom Hamilton, who was founder of Hamilton Standard, who paved the way in aviation at the turn of the century.  He later turned into an airport developer, a hotel developer and eventually built a permanent home in Lake Arrowhead for his family.  You can see from the lake what use to be his boat house where he built sails, which is now a private residence and one of the most gorgeous homes on the lake.

The home owners association in Hamiltair offers a close knit community with 4th of July festivities, Fishing Derby and local gatherings that really offer the complete Lake Arrowhead Lifestyle.

Our team Kelley~Sellers  sold the most expensive home in 2009, which was in Hamiltair Estates, a lake front property on the Peninsula which sold for $4,250,000 this past September.  This by far has one of the most stunning lake views and parcels of land in Hamiltair or any other area of Lake Arrowhead.

There are currently four homes on the market in Hamiltair Estates, 3 are interior homes and one lake front property. Prices ranging from $695,000  to $4,450,000.

We specialize in resort home sales.  We have the experience, the knowledge and professionalism that you are seeking in the Lake Arrowhead Lifestyle.  We live here, work here and play here.

What You Need To Know About Launching Your Boat On Lake Arrowhead

What you need to know about launching your boat on Lake Arrowhead, important information from the Arrowhead Lake Association.

Quagga and Zebra Mussels pose a very real threat to our lake and our water system. The mussels have the potential of destroying the ecosystems within the lake and doing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage to our water distribution system and your boat's cooling system. Accordingly, we need your help to keep your lake free of the mussels.

NO BOATS MAY BE LAUNCHED ON LAKE ARROWHEAD without being certified free of invasive mussels by a registered ALA storage contractor or passing an on-site inspection by ALA staff.

THIS IS A ZERO TOLERANCE PROGRAM

The Arrowhead Lake Association requires that all boats, canoes, and kayaks launched on Lake Arrowhead undergo a complete on-site inspection for possible Quagga Mussel contamination. Boats that are not clean, drained and dry will be subject to a 14 day quarantine prior to being permitted to launch. Since the ballast tanks on some wakeboard boats cannot be visually inspected, they must have been in commercial storage with a registered ALA storage contractor or must be commercially decontaminated. For information on decontaminating your vessel prior to your launch day, please contact our office at (909) 337-2595 and see the notice below.

Avoid delays at the launch ramp by doing the following:

  • CLEAN your trailer, boat and accessories of dirt, algae, weeds and mussels,
  • DRAIN bilges, anchor lockers, storage lockers, and live bait wells,
  • DRY the interior and exterior of the boat including storage and bilge areas, and
  • Bring your boat to the ramp CLEAN, DRAINED and DRY.

If there is standing water in any compartment of your boat (bilge, equipment storage areas, bait wells, under seats, engine compartments or anywhere else) YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO LAUNCH YOUR BOAT!!!

If you store your boat for the entire winter with a registered ALA storage contractor who can certify that the boat has been in "DEAD" storage where you have not had access, your boat will be launched without delay.

If you store your boat at home or with a non-registered facility, your boat must be CLEAN, DRAINED and DRY. Additionally, ballast tanks and bladders must be determined to be dry by visual inspection or must be commercially decontaminated with 140 degree Fahrenheit water.

For more information regarding boating on Lake Arrowhead, members may contact the Arrowhead Lake Association at 909-337-2595.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
