Stage Your Home to Sell!

2007-02-01T08:47:00.000-08:00

Thinking of putting your home on the market this Spring? Then start now to get it in shape!

One of the best things you can do is to stage your home to sell. Staging requires an objective assessment of your home's strengths and weaknesses. Is there too much clutter...do rooms need painting...do items need to be removed...does furniture need re-arranging...is there curb appeal...etc. Staging is not remodeling. It is using your things and your space in the most creative way possible, so that your home is presented in the best possible light.

As an accredited staging professional, I have been specifically trained to prepare a house for sale. I offer my clients complimentary staging advice when they list their home with me, so that their home is in top selling condition when it hits the market. It's a fact...staged homes sell faster and for more money!

Are you ready to buy a house?

2006-11-13T12:21:00.000-08:00

The first step in buying a house is to get your finances in order. Get a free copy of your credit report at http://www.annualcreditreport.com. Credit scores range between 200 and 800, with scores above 620 considered desirable for getting a mortgage. According to the National Association of Realtors, five factors determine your credit score:

1. Your payment history - whether you paid your credit card obligations on time.
2. How much you owe.
3.The length of your credit history - the longer, the better.
4. How much new credit you have - new credit is considered riskier.
5. The types of credit you use - it's better to have more than one type of credit- installment loans, credit cards and a mortgage, for example.

Get prequalified by a lender before you start looking for a home. Determine how much available money you have to cover your downpayment and closing costs. Then start looking!
