Some little items that need repair or replacement maybe over looked. What the heck after a time it is convenient to overlook these items. Your home is cozy and comfortable for your daily lives. Selling your home puts you in the businessman category. You are looking to make a reasonable profit. Enhance your home profitability stage. I am not going the expensive route with updates but working with what you have. Your home may or may not be updated.  Handy staging tips:

 Do It Yourself Staging
Exterior Staging:

  • Keep lawn and landscaping maintained.
  • May want to add more blooming flowers in bedding, pots and or add hanging plants.

  • Check exterior paint and trim for painting or touch-ups
  • Keep drive-way clutter free and clean.
  • Keep clean windows 
  • Replace broken window panels.
  • Replace damage window screens.

 

Interior Staging:
 
Carpeted rooms most times the carpet will not have to be replaced but cleaned. Give your carpets a through cleaning through-out the home. Vacuum your carpet regularly. Hardwood floor should be in good condition. Repair loose or damaged floor boards.  Clean and shine up hardwood floors. Keep each room cleaned including dusted. Keep room free of clutter. Check walls in each room. clean or paint walls if needed. Sometimes, it is easier to paint certain rooms. Choose neutral light colors. Examples: you may prefer a dark red color for the den. Conversely, dark colors darken room and reduce visual space whereas off-whites or light beige's lighten rooms and have a positive mental affect.

Things we take for granted and may overlook are: replacement of burned out light bulbs and clean all light fixtures, mirrors and ceiling fans. There may be leaks a minor as faucet leaks or roof leaks. Investigate causes and repair. Window treatment drapes, curtain and shutter. Keep window treatment clean.   

 
Porch Entry:

  • Replace Welcome Mat if needed.
  • Remove any cobwebs and grooms doorway. No clutter at entry.
Living Room Staging:



Remember buyers generally purchase for more space. Give your rooms a spacious look. May have to rearrange or remove some furniture.

  • Keep tables, shelves, furniture and floor uncluttered.
Dining Room:

  • Clean and clutter free.
Add a tasteful vase with fresh flowers on dining room table.

 
Kitchen Staging:

 


Check flooring worn vinyl should be replaced. Check for broken or loose tiles. Broken tiles and loose tiles can be repaired or replaced.

  • Keep flooring clean.
  • Kitchen appliances clean and keep clear of cooking items during showings.
  • Appliances should be in working order.
  • Clean kitchen counters, cabinets and shelves. In the case of kitchen counters less is more. Have a few attractive kitchen items on counter (toaster, microwave, blender and etc.)
  • Check cabinet hardware for need replacements.
  • One inexpensive update is kitchen sink fixtures. May consider replacing kitchen sink hardware.

 Bedroom Staging:
 
 

  • Keep bedrooms clean and clutter free.
  • May have beautiful bedding or consider new fresh bedding in neutral colors.
  • Consider adding pillows and or bed shawl.
  • On night table add a vase of fresh flowers, potpourri and or candles.

Bathroom Staging:


 
  • Keep clean and uncluttered.
  • Consider new towels and bathroom rugs in each bathroom. Use only for showing property.
  • Decorative soap dishes, toothpaste holders, toilet paper holders and waste bin can add to decor.
  • Check bathroom plumbing hardware. Hardware replacement gives bathrooms uplift.
Closets:

  • Keep clean, organized and uncluttered.
Showing Your Home:

  • It is depressing to walk into a dark home. Keep your lights on and open curtains.
  • If possible keep entire family out during a showing. This gives prospective buyers the opportunity to walk around freely.
  • Put pets outside.
  • Turn off television.
  • Play soft music or no music at all.
  • Keep all valuables in a safe place. Items include money, credit cards, keys, personal papers and etc.
  • Keep all medicines out of site in a safe place.
  • Valuables should not be seen by prospective buyers.Keep in safe place. 
  • Children toys should be organized and kept in one area.
  • New fresh towels can be shown only for showings.
  • Potpourri, scented candles, boiled cinnamon or nutmeg gives the home a scented homey feeling.
  • There is something about freshly cut flowers. Consider flowers in living room, dining room, den and or bedrooms.  

Many buyers say that they made the decision to purchase before they saw the interior of the property. Maintenance of the yard is very important. First impressions are lasting impressions. A home that is enticing and alluring may result in a higher sales price. Sellers can stage their home tasteful and inexpensively. If your home is totally renovated or in its original condition one main key to staging is clean and uncluttered. Carpets and flooring should be clean. Check each room some rooms may need fresh paint.  Choose neutral color themes suitable for the entire home. New fresh complimentary bedding (solid and light color) can add attraction and space. Pillows and furnisher shawl also add flair.  Towels can do wonders. Do not hesitate, replacing old soap dishes, tootle brush holders, towel rails, toilet holders and trash cans with attractive items. I just recently, gave my kitchen a total clean up. The major job was the oven. I just throw stuff in the oven bake and forget about clean up. Well, it was a major clean up but it is great to have clean oven. Clean kitchen and kitchen appliances will be a selling point. Plan your staging and compare items needed at different retail stores. Keep in mind that you want your home to be appealing not just for an individual but for the general buying market.

Free advice keep window treatments open let the light in. Never show home in the dark.

Each west side neighborhood has its own personality. Regardless of neighborhood, single family home, condominium, townhouse or 2-4 units staging enhances property value. Nice clean, clutter free, well appointed, bright and enticing homes attract buyers. Some homeowners may prefer a professional stager and that is OK. With a little elbow grease and individual designing ideas it is amazing what a do-it-yourself stager can do. Above are suggestions for the do-it-yourself. Not all suggestion will apply but homeowners may find some helpful suggestions.

Living Trust - Westside Real Estate

Living Trust
Westside Real Estate

Living Trust - Westside Homes
What is a living trust? Are You Considering a Living Trust? Living trust is created while person is alive. After death property ownership transferred to successor trustee. Successor trustee transfers property to beneficiary. The successor trustee and  beneficiary are named in the trust.  Property transferred to living trust does not go to probate. Living trust can reduce or eliminate estate taxes depending on tax bracket. Explore your options with an experienced estate planning attorney, real estate attorney and or licensed financial advisor. Many states require that an attorney draft the trust. A trust exists when one person (the grantor or the settler) gives property to another person (the trustee) to hold and manage for other persons (the beneficiaries).  The grantor can amend or revoke the trust. Through the terms, the grantor keeps all of the benefits of any property placed into in the trust for the rest of his or her life. A living trust can consist of any property such as bank accounts, brokerage accounts, stocks, bonds, and real estate. The terms of a trust are described in a written document often called, the Declaration of Trust or Trust Agreement.  This document is signed by the grantor and the trustee. The living trust is established while the grantor is alive (as opposed to a "testamentary" trust created after death). What is purpose of living trust? Often the purpose is to avoid probate.  The trust is recognized as a separate legal entity. The Trustee can only distribute assets that have been placed in the Trust.
 
A living Trust does not eliminate the need for a will.

Definitions:

  • Grantor:  The individual or couple that establishes the Trust is the Grantor. Also known as settlor, trustor, donor and creator.
  • Trustee: The person established by the trust as the controller of the trust  assets.
  • Beneficiaries: Are the heirs that will benefit from the Trust once the Grantor  has  passed away.
  • For more information about estate planning strategies: Talk to an experienced real estate attorney,  estate planning attorney and or financial advisor.

Growing Herbal Garden - Westside Homes

What is a Herb?
Growing Herbs - Westside Real Estate
Herb growing guide and herbal glossary. What is old is new. Trends are showing that homeowners are growing their own herbs. Herbs are ancient plants. For centuries used for: medicinal purposes, fragrances, spiritual practices and culinary purposes. Presently herbs are grow as garden enhancers, for fragrances and cooking.
Herbs are the leafy, green part of aromatic plants. Cooks have options. Dried herbs can be purchased at your local market. In today’s health conscious world cooks are cooking with freshly grown herbs.Herbs can be grown at home. Herb are space-savers. Can be grown indoors or outdoors. Herbs can be grown in your kitchen or a special spot in your garden or patio. Outdoors herbs can make beautiful ornamental plants. Grown plant in clay pots or as a hanging plants. Where you choose to grow your plant is a personal choice but herbs gives you numerous options. Enrich your yard with fragrance beautiful herbs.


Starting a Herb Garden


Herb Garden

Seeding Indoors

Any small container will do. Make sure there are holes at the bottom of container for drainage. Your plant needs good drainage. Add your soil. I fertilize the soil before adding the seeds. Nutrients leak out of the soil . Place the seeds about ¼ of an inch from the top soil. Water well and cover with a plastic lid or clear plastic wrap. When I see healthy sprouts I remove the plastic cover. Two of the most important things to remember is during your seedling stage keep the soil moist at all times. Secondly, place in a sunny location in your home.

Seeding Outdoors
If you are planting directly outside choose a place only for your herbs. It maybe alongside other vegetables or flowers but seedlings must have full sunlight. Your outdoor seedlings need regular watering as well as fertilizer. If I am planting indoors or outdoor I like to use organic compost ensure healthy and flourishing plants. Never use any fertilizer that is not labeled for use on edible plants.


Planting and Growing Herbs Tips
Annual herbs are easy to start and inexpensive. Harvest to the plant’s full flavor. Limit pesticides to a minimum. I like to mix liquid soap and water spray pests. If this does not kill your pests check for non-toxic pesticides or pesticides used for edible plants.
Trimming Herbs
Once herbs are grown they have to be pruned. Since your will be using the herb for cooking there should not be a problem. If the herbs are not pruned they will grow tall and lanky. For a full healthy plant trim and prune regularly.



Designing Ideas
