Houzz Quiz: What Style of Kitchen Should You Have?

I took this quiz and completely thought I would get a super contemporary kitchen but I ended up with a Farmhouse kitchen.  It must have been my love for re-purposed items and rustic, highly textured materials.  What kitchen style are you!

Attention To Detail - Staging

When selling a house, it is all about paying attention to the details.  Of course, the obvious is to clean the house better than ever, and continue to clean and dust until it sells.  But, when staging, look for opportunities to create a good mood.  I had a client that had a little fire pit; he also took down a tree that was ugly and dying.  We chopped the tree down and split it into pieces and stacked them neatly next to the fireplace.  The buyer loved the ambiance and ended up putting in an offer and asked that the fire pit and wood stay.  We of course obliged considering the wood was free and the fire pit was about $40.  Can you believe it? $40 to make a sale of hundreds of thousands of dollars!  When you stage right, it makes all the difference.  Below is an example of how a bit of stacked wood can help define a space and create a mood.

Is your space "Shabby" or "Shabby Chic"?

Make sure when your re-purposing or using items that are worn, weathered, antique or otherwise don't look new,  that your pairing it with items that keep your space feeling fresh and clean.  Without "Chic" complimenting your design, all your left with is "Shabby" and shabby doesn't sell.

Beware of the Mundane Realtor!

Believe me!... Choosing the wrong Realtor can be devastating!... They may just want a paycheck and don't really care about your personal situation.  I pride myself on making the right decision for YOU!  I study the market because I want to be the most knowledgeable person for YOU!  Make the right decision and let my team help you through the buying and selling process.  We pride ourselves on service and I am proud to be a Realtor in Phoenix, Arizona.
Below is a link that has some good tips, but every situation is different, call me and I would be happy to chat about your situation.

BEWARE OF VMA's!! (Zillow, Trulia, etc.) Look at the price this homeowner came to me thinking their home was worth off Zillow. Our CMA showed good comps between $215,000 - $230,000. Although, it would have sold fast at $176,000, they could have left over $40,000 on the table. Let a professional facilitate your transaction, we are worth every penny!

Home Ownership Can Set You Up for Life!

Getting people to believe in home ownership is important!... For many people it is their retirement nest egg. Why not yours?!... Housing prices will rise and the house equity you build will pay you for living in it! With rental prices rising like crazy, it's cheaper to own!

If You Can't Visualize it!... I Can

So my client had a house in DC Ranch and mentioned that she would really like to replace an entire wall with white cabinets from floor to ceiling.  She was worried that it would cost a lot and that she may not like the results.  I drew these renderings and showed her exactly what it will look like.  I took all the guess work out of it and she loved it!  Next step: Do it!
