Liz’ Tips (part 1)
Liz’ TipsBy: Liz Quinn of Design’in-Mind Maximum Impact with Minimal InvestmentBrockville, Ontario
Contrary to what you might think, it's about more than preparing the house for sale. Staging is what you do afteryou've cleaned, de-cluttered, painted, made minor repairs; it'sall about dressing the house for sale. What would it be like if The Nutcracker performance wason a blank stage without costumes or props?Staging is about adding the small details: the lipstick, mascaraand, for simplicity, a stunning, single strand of Tahitian pearls. What makes you think that your house will sell as opposedto the similar one located three doors down? Travel down any city street or country roads in EasternOntario and you will notice thousands of “House for Sale”signs. Regardless of where it’s located or what condition it’sat, everyone is wishing their house to sell quickly and for thehighest price possible. Your house needs to sparkle: it needs to appeal to purchasers.It needs to evoke a certain charm. It needs to be de-clutteredand organized. It needs to be staged. What is a Professional Home Stager?

Bathrooms shouldlook open, airy and delightful.

Tip of the weekODDS VS. EVENS
(1) In general grouping items in odd numbers makes a more attractivedisplay than even numbers. A grouping of three or five works well.
(2) To ensure the correct height when hanging art on the wall, thecentre of the painting should be approximately five feet from the floor.
(3) When selecting from your art pieces, pick the most elegant andmost valuable ones for the living room.
ON THE MARKET TIPSFirst Time
Home BuyersTips to successfully
purchase your first home.
Be methodical in the home buying process. Start from the beginningby selecting a Real Estate agent that you are confident will work foryou. You want your agent to listen to what you have to say and showyou the homes that you want to see. But even more important than that,they must be able to convey the knowledge and expertise to get you thehome that you want for a price you can afford.
Be thorough, in the selection of the home you’re going to purchase.Look at more than one home. Carefully inspect the preferred propertyfor flaws both structural and cosmetic. Select trained professionals tohelp with the inspection. A home inspector or a general contractor isyour greatest resource in this regard. They have the experience andexpertise to give you an informed opinion of the condition of theproperty you are considering.
Be decisive. One the most problematic issues new buyers run into isthe fact they tend to second guess themselves. This causes first timebuyers to miss opportunities to purchase homes because they can’tcommit quickly enough to follow through on sales. This only exacer-bates the issue, because the frustration level will mount as you missout on more and more potential properties. Be ready to make acommitment and follow through on your decision.
