Greetings!
 
 March Madness is more than Hoop talk! 
Hopefully you've finished filling out your Bracket sheet ( and if you're not among the NCAA "Big Dance" followers, then just bear with me).  But, don't get too comfy. In addition to the Elite Eight; and Final Four, March means Springing ahead; a Fresh start; New Beginning; Spring Cleaning!  There's still time to tackle some projects you've put off.  I've included some links to websites that you might find helpful.

Is your Listing representing YOU in the Right way?

That's right!  You see, just as you as a Realtor (or you the owner) are charged with showing and representing a property to the best of your abilities, the property you list should be a good representative of your professional integrity.  If you're thinking of selling your home or are a Realtor with listings, now's the time to evaluate your "product".  Take a good look at your home/listing; see it through the eyes of a Buyer.   Is the yard in need of TLC?  Does the current furniture placement and décor enhance or detract from the square footage and assets of the home? What about minor repairs?  Have they been made, or is that light switch still dangling on the wall in the bedroom? Can you walk through the rooms without tripping over clutter?  Trust me, a buyer or fellow Realtor, is not only evaluating the Sellers and their house but also the Listing Agent.  Haven't you ever mumbled to yourself upon seeing a less than ideal listing: "Why would Agent X even list this house?"

Helpful HINTS:  
  Now that you've decided to tackle the yard and landscaping, I have a helpful site that will provide answers for your lawn and garden questions.  And, once your house has sold,  A Move Made Easy  can take the pain out of moving.  Not only can they assist with packing but they'll coordinate with movers, and utilities; and arrange for any items not moved to be  donated to various organizations or disposed of in other ways.  And, we all have our treasured pieces of furniture that have endured moving, kids, spills, hot dishes and wet glasses.  This  "doctor"
can bring life back into your pieces. 

roomservice!homestagingFAQ'S

I've been told to de-clutter and remove some of my furniture until my house sells.  So, what do I do with it ?  There's not enough room in my garage, and I don't want it to look like it can't hold a car. 
 
You're in luck!  Thanks to our friends at Bekins of South Floridawe can offer our clients a special rate as part of their Home Staging/De-Clutter Program.  It includes a special rate for packing and storage.  Your goods will have the same professional treatment that thousands have come to count on when they are moving their households.  Contact me for more information.
I know that your email "In" box is full so I thank you for taking the time to view my newsletter.  Please share your view/opinions with me so that I can offer a device that will prove to be useful and informative.  And, if you have any STAGING questions, please send them.  I'd be happy to feature them in the next issue.
Sincerely,
Kathy
