All I Want for Christmas…

tacky cmas copyIf your house is on the market the finish to this melodic statement is easy…and it isn’t “two front teeth”, you want your house to sell!!

Now, first let me say I am PRO-CHRISTMAS (notice I made the red “X” candy-cane striped to prove that very point…haha) So don’t go throwing me under the bus with the rest of the Happy Holiday wishers Continue reading

Why Stage?

I am sure many people, and maybe even you, might think, “Natalie why make a house pretty if all I am doing is wanting to get rid of it?”. Well, my answer would be if you were going to sell your car would you clean it out, give it a wash and shine, get it tuned up and in tip top shape before showing it to a potential buyer? Of course. Why? Because you want top dollar for that car, and for some reason if there were Cheerios, five empty water bottles along with random lego parts, a burnt out blinker, and “WASH ME” written across your back windshield the buyer may not see it as deserving of top dollar.

The real estate market is tough, new listings are flooding in every day! You are competing against new-builds and new renovated homes. How does your house stand up? Is she covered in old toys and bits dried food or is she sparkling and shining and ready to be driven out on the open road?staged sold seel home like pro
