It’s a Holiday Weekend - Getting Those Houses Ready For Market May 26, 2007
Often Real Estate Agents work most, when most people have off. Why? Because our Clients are Available!
This holiday weekend I am working with three separate sets of sellers in varying stages of Getting Their Homes Ready for Market. One is supposed to get on market next weekend, one was supposed to be ready last week or in a few days and who knows when it really will be ready, and the other may not sell at all but we’re getting it ready just in case.
For the benefit of one or more of those three people, I wrote this article this morning about Getting Your House Ready to Sell. In case lots of you are out there doing exactly what I’m doing this weekend, there’s volumes of info in that post to help you. Some others wrote, and there’s the part where I disagree with almost everything others wrote.
All in all, there should be something in there that helps you get your home ready for market.

Hi ARDELL,
Great information and great advice. I have learned something from you yet again. I will keep this information available to share with my clients (with your permission and suitable credit of course).
Thanks for sharing so much information. As I am sure you already know, you are a veritable font of wisdom and those client’s lucky enough to work with you are truly fortunate indeed.
Take care, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!

Tisza,
Today I was a “veritable font” of bringing glassware down to the basement many times and stripping wallpaper. No wisdom needed
I like getting houses ready for market, especially with some very nice people. Kim and I and our soon to be married clients (next week!) were all working together side by side. Reminded me that I spent all of Labor Day weekend getting a house ready for market.
You do not have to give me credit if you use any info I write when dealing with your clients, Tisza. That’s just blog stuff.
The life of a real estate agent. My holiday weekend has been filled with buyers seeing income properties. I guess sometimes it would be easier to sit in front of a computer telling people just to go buy XYZ listing…without actually having seen it.
Many, many different opinions and options in the ever evolving art of home staging as can be seen by the myriad of articles linked to this blog. I would like to add that ASP is certainly NOT the only designation and class available to wannabee home stagers. For the past 4 years schoolofstaging.com has offered a very successful, no frills, no hype, 3 clock hour class. Specifically geared towards Real Estate Professionals, we’ve taught literally hundreds of them with rave reviews, a class that is practical, informative and very affordable. Even the fabulous Reba Hass is a graduate of our school and look at the wonderful staging work she’s doing. The next class is on June 6th at First American Title in Bellevue, and we welcome you all. Check out our website http://www.thepowerofstaging.com
In keeping with our attitude that every and any home needs to be staged we honestly believe that every person selling property should take this class.
Ardell: also, the other side of the coin is BUYERS…..they are out & about also……i likey!
